The Braves start a three game series with the very bad Diamondbacks today. Arizona has a bunch of young guys with a penchant for strike outs and we are throwing Javier Vazquez, who is 4th in the NL in Ks. Over under on how many Ks he walks away with? Also I will actually be at this game (probably the only one this season) so I may not get the recap up tonight.

we better kill the dbacks
i live in arizona and see almost all of their games. to be honest, they suck. badly. they cant hit (except Justin Upton and Stephen Drew) and Webb is hurt. I believe we miss Haren’s start too.
LETS GET A SWEEP.
Scott Coleman - May 15, 2009
Where in Zona do you live?
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
Tucson
northwest side to be exact.
Scott Coleman - May 15, 2009
Oh ok. I lived in Chandler for a couple of years.
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
those are some nice suburbs of phx
Scott Coleman - May 15, 2009
Not bad, hot as hell though.
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
Isn’t Drew still hurt too?
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
no he came back wednesday.
Scott Coleman - May 15, 2009
Vasquez
Needs to turn it around at home — fortunately I don’t think the D’backs hit to many HR’s
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Vazquez is money
Trust me.
Sid Bream's Moustache - May 15, 2009
I’m with you — but he’s 0-3 with a 6.10 ERA in 3 starts at home so far.
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
He’s so money he doesn’t even know it
chance13ga - May 15, 2009
Lineup
Infante 2b
Esco SS
Chip 3b
FUGA LF
Heap C
FYF RF
Kotch 1b
Logan CF
JV P
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Why is Francoeur hitting ahead of Kotchman…
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
lefty pitcher
chance13ga - May 15, 2009
Not Sure
But honestly, I’m not sure if FYF should even hit in front of Schafer
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
1) Logan
2) Infante
3) Chip
4) Kotchman
5) Mccann
6) Frenchy
7) Escobar
8) FUGA
9) Javy
Lineup I Would run out if I was playing this game on MLB the show
Sid Bream's Moustache - May 15, 2009
???
FUGA is coming around, esco is too low, schafer strikes out too much for leadoff, kotchman is not a cleanup.
Other than that, spot on!…..
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
I dunno about that, Kotchman has been RAKING lately
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
After Chipper & Heap
I have the most confidence when I see Kotchman ambling to the plate.
I haven’t even called him Krotchman in a week.
Sid Bream's Moustache - May 15, 2009
Lineupbating
Escobar, Chipper, Infante, McCann, Kotchman, Schafer, FUGA, Pitcher, FYF
VictorW - May 15, 2009
Hello lineup analysis!
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
that should read 4) Mccan 5) Kotchman
But the scars are too deep from FUGA, and I have faith in Logan, and I like OBP (even if some of his is artificial)
Sid Bream's Moustache - May 15, 2009
Tired of FUGA bashing...
Lets not start it up again tonight, but people need to give the dude a shot. Yes, I know his defense sucks and that’s fine. But saying he’s an 8 hitter is just stupid. Dude is 6 for his last 13 with 5 RBI. Maybe he should have taken a minor league assignment to get warmed up, but I think his bat is coming around.
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
I’m starting to warm on him a little bit. My vengeance is now firmly pointed at the other corner OF
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
this
he basically hasn’t changed at all
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Let’s start a FUGA chant… fuga fuga FUGA FUGA
chance13ga - May 15, 2009
FUGA FUGA FUGA FUGA FUGA FUGA!
nick9314 - May 15, 2009
I miss Kelly Johnson
eaheckman10 - May 15, 2009
I concur. This Infante business is ridiculous
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
bigjoe, you going to any of the LV Gwinnett games this weekend/beginning of next week
eaheckman10 - May 15, 2009
Going tomorrow…was going to see Medlen, but Frank Wren decided to spit in my eye
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
hahaha
chance13ga - May 15, 2009
wow, I’ve been at work all day at haven’t seen that.
eaheckman10 - May 15, 2009
Also, I may be going Monday for my free plunger, depending how stressful work is
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
I’m going on Monday to get my plunger. Is Hanson pitching any of the games?
eaheckman10 - May 15, 2009
No, he’s pitching tonight
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
Aw shucks. Oh well
eaheckman10 - May 15, 2009
PLUNGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
At least you’ll get to see Hanson tomorrow!
Little Lady - May 16, 2009
Agreed. Just let KJ play. Platoons SUCK. Haven’t we suffered enough the past 3 years.
cmdpsu15 - May 15, 2009
How close were the Braves to moving Kelly Johnson this offseason? Was he a piece in any of the rumored trades?
Sparklemotion - May 15, 2009
for ludwick with the cards?
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Ludwick would have been great
Sparklemotion - May 15, 2009
I think
it was assuming that Furcal was coming our way — would have been out a 2b otherwise
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
any links?
hdlounge n linksadoor not working 4 me
chance13ga - May 15, 2009
look under live sports on myp2p.eu
dc_allday - May 15, 2009
nope, not even there which is odd
chance13ga - May 15, 2009
dang
dc_allday - May 15, 2009
Redmond got shelled today. Hanson tonight
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
brutal play for the philies just now
semi-wild pitch with blanton up, runner on 3rd nailed at home to end the inning.
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
The Phils are playing the Nats….again! That’s at least the their third series this year.
Sparklemotion - May 15, 2009
Nice to see the AJ Hinch experiment working out so well.
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
What's up with the weather?
Radio guys are wondering whether game is starting now or not
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
http://nevadacountytrader.com/product_desc.php?id=2122
Man, check this out! I might buy it, how sweet would this be!?!?!?
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
haha tiki pontoon
chance13ga - May 15, 2009
HOW AWESOME IS THAT!
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
Philly’s spring park has a giant tiki bar in left field that stays open after the game…yeah, its chaos
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
Game on
Lets go guys! Really need to turn around the 5-9 home record
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Re: JoJo "Suckfest" Reyes
Is he the new mop up guy? Another LOOGY / 1 inning guy? Where is his role.
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
We don’t know that until we know who’s getting demoted
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
Any options restrictions?
otherwise I would suggest Buddy is done…
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Evening folks
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Evening to you too.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Sup Beard. You see the Bub Rubb video yet?
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
just did…haha, wow
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
“It’s only in the moaning!! You should be up cookin breakfast or somethin!! It’s like an alarm clock!! WOOO WOOOOO”
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
He drove away like a bat out of hell, haha
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Yeah, he broke like 4 laws in a quarter mile.
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
lol
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
I told you it was awesome!
10-4 - May 15, 2009
PTV showed Chip having a little team pow-wow in the dugout before they took the field. That was nice to see.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
what the fuck
Scott Coleman - May 15, 2009
1-0 D'backs
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
2-0 dbacks
Scott Coleman - May 15, 2009
Well shit.
Hopefully we are hitting tonight/
Sid Bream's Moustache - May 15, 2009
sweet start
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Randy Marsh is umping this series?
Awesome.
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
wow,
Jinxed us.
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
The part that got my attention...
I’m sleeping with my windows closed and locked tonight since there’s a professional creeper in town.
Lizziebeth - May 15, 2009
See the ball, hit the ball
Beutiful hitting by Parra of the Curveball
nick9314 - May 15, 2009
WHAT THE HELL 2-0 ALREADY
VictorW - May 15, 2009
2-0 dbacks
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Timeout!!!!!
I want THESE guys at bat.
WTF?
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
there ya go
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
the d-backs have an ugly patch on their sleeves too
Bravely going forward - May 15, 2009
Fair enough Javy…let’s get that one bad inning out of the way early.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Maybe that’s now out of his system.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
K
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Doug Davis
has been pretty decent against the braves I think…hopefully not tonight
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
I’ll take it.
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
2 K's by Javy in one innning and 2 runs given up. Sounds about right.
VictorW - May 15, 2009
only 14 pitches too
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
good times
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
nice hustle infante
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Chipper is about to hit a bomb right here
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
wind blowing out to left
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Sweet, my sound isn’t working
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
Come on Chip…hit one like you did in NY – it’s a homer here.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
So…how come Medlen is getting the call up instead of Hanson, or even Morton for that matter? He’s got even less minor league innings under his belt than Hanson. Doesn’t it fuck with his arb clock? What am I missing.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Medlen’s been the best of the 3 of them
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
I know he’s been doing well, but is that really the rationale?
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Has to be. We haven’t gotten any kind of official statement about it
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
I see…
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Gotta go home, see yall in a bit
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
Thanks Leon…christ, not bailing out on every curveball might help next time.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
I thought MattyD is supposed to be in killing the lefties….. so much for that platoon.
cmdpsu15 - May 15, 2009
Platooning Kelly but not FUGA… Sigh..
VictorW - May 15, 2009
Its a little depressing.
cmdpsu15 - May 15, 2009
yeah…it’s pretty stupid
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
He’s outwalking Francoeur for christsakes…
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
Gotta love the looking K call
cmdpsu15 - May 15, 2009
Nice Logan
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
That catch sounded like a beautiful running catch
VictorW - May 15, 2009
Yup. Its great when Radio makes you feel like you are watching it.
cmdpsu15 - May 15, 2009
He was playing ridiculously deep, shoestringed it
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
I wish I knew. 5 replays, all of them crap, frozen image.
Just like any ball put play – miss it and hope the replay works.
Soooo frustrating.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
ha, looked pretty good too
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Hello again everybody!
bigjoe, did you know Hanson has been moved to Saturday?
10-4 - May 15, 2009
You’re ribbing me.
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
AJC:
10-4 - May 15, 2009
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
Get you one of these:
10-4 - May 15, 2009
With him starting, I doubt he’d sign. I want a BJONES
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
I got one of those too, buts its a Topps Triple Threads auto +bat
10-4 - May 15, 2009
Before I went insane 2 years ago and sold a shit ton of my cards, I could make you blush
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
What’s going on with Javy tonight?
Behind the hitters and/or they’re jumping on first pitch for hits.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
WTF… pitcher with a hit, walk to the #8 guy. Come on Javy.
cmdpsu15 - May 15, 2009
Capt. Caveman just got ejected.
cmdpsu15 - May 15, 2009
Vazquez hates Turner Field. TRADE HIM FOR PARTS
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
Consider this my official request for the dark shirts.
Can they go in and change between innings?
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
They could do like the Rockies, who wear those hideous sleeveless black-on-black jerseys everywhere.
10-4 - May 15, 2009
I hope McCann hits a HR
Then I can be even angrier about him being out of the cleanup spot.
VictorW - May 15, 2009
not professional enough
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
I too think he should be hitting behind Chipper.
Was bitchin’ to hubby about that earlier when I read the lineup.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
David Francis, perfect through 3 in Rome. CBWILK is twitching his leg right about now
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
Nice rip Mac!
BigG1392 - May 15, 2009
He’s good.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
And should be hitting 4th.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Jeff has me worried….he’s looking way too much like last year lately.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Good job Frenchy!!!
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
That definitely didn’t look like last year. haha
BigG1392 - May 15, 2009
+1
And nice to see.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Nice hit Frenchy!
BigG1392 - May 15, 2009
Alright FYF…not bad.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
FYF eats lefties
VictorW - May 15, 2009
Wow I didn’t know Justin Upton was already OPSing above .950
VictorW - May 15, 2009
I actually dropped him in my fantasy league after the first two weeks.
Bronn - May 15, 2009
Fail.
Then again, I’m the one holding on to Garret Atkins in 2 leagues after 6 weeks
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
I’m still holding on to Atkins him too.
I remember thinking that Upton might just need one more year…
I ended up picking up Chris Duncan. That lasted about 5 days before I grabbed Adam LaRoche.
Bronn - May 15, 2009
I always love picking up LaRoche halfway through the year. Works every time.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Heh, I have Duncan in I think 2 leagues that are pretty deep…yeah
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
Yeah, I saw that the other day…crazy.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
ERROR! 2-1
BigG1392 - May 15, 2009
LOL…you saw that play falling apart as it happened. Awesome.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Dear Pujols that was ugly.
10-4 - May 15, 2009
Yes!
This is how the Braves score runs!
VictorW - May 15, 2009
BAHAHAHAHA!
I love it when defenses are stupid and cause errors
Bronn - May 15, 2009
Ok Schafer… time to get your first RBI since day 3.
BigG1392 - May 15, 2009
This makes me a sad panda.
VictorW - May 15, 2009
He’s gonna walk and not get it.
10-4 - May 15, 2009
Swung at ball 4.
BigG1392 - May 15, 2009
Kotchman is the slow machine… he’s not running for christ sake
BigG1392 - May 15, 2009
I’ll take the RBI
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
RBI SCHAFER!!
BigG1392 - May 15, 2009
Cammando2317 - May 15, 2009
haha
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
oh dear ugly.
10-4 - May 15, 2009
Hallelujah!
Great job Schafer!!!
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
still 2 for 26 with RISP
but at least we got the RBI and lineup turned over
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Well, the road back has to start somewhere.
It can’t start with another K.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Good bunt Javy
BigG1392 - May 15, 2009
Nice bunt. Fundamentals – gotta love it.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Radio guys bitching about not stealing and bunting instead
word.
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
That was a weak shot at a joke… they were in the stolen base contest inning
Cammando2317 - May 15, 2009
Phails down 1-4 to Natinals, end of 4
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
4 solo bombs for Dunn?
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Phils lost a blown call...
Nick Johnson was tagged out but called safe at the plate — then Blanton walked about eleventeen people in a row
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
haha, that guy sucks. ESPN was all over his nuts the other night
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
I wish. I need HRs this week in Fantasy!
nick9314 - May 15, 2009
Anyone live in the DC area?
I’m so sick of these “my favorite nationals moment”, where some “fan” talks about one of the games the Nats won.
My favorite nats moment is when they lost 101 games last year…
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
SEVEN K’S!
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Lannan
looks pretty good tonight…
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Pretty good pitch right there…
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Missed the target, but it got the plate…isn’t that supposed to determine a strike.
Umps – give me indigestion.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Yeah, ump missed that call
BigG1392 - May 15, 2009
I could go for some birthday cake ice cream right now…fuck you Food Network
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
That's why I avoid Food Network
Always makes me hungry.
VictorW - May 15, 2009
Quit jinxing us radio guys...
talking about how bad the d’backs can’t hit
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
K
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
How about a Bloomin Onion? Who wants to go to Outback right about now?
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
The dipping sauce that comes with those is amazing.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
I’d love to make it, but yeah…supposedly has like 30 different spices in it
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
I only eat animals
and animal products
VictorW - May 15, 2009
Can you see me sticking my tongue out at you bigjoe?
Trying my best not to go to the kitchen right now…. I know there’s chocolate in there somewhere.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Tequila and chocolate…make it happen
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
I actually could….. think I will before the game is over.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
drool. bloomin’ onions are the shit. We tried to buy that kit at Walmart where you make your own, but the sauce was awful.
10-4 - May 15, 2009
Holy fuck, 10-4 wasn’t ribbing me…FRANCISCLEY BUENO IS STARTING TONIGHT! BAhahahaha
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
That would be cold, i wouln’t do that. Especially now that you have power here.
10-4 - May 15, 2009
K
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
D-back’s announcers are actually being pretty unbiased right now. I miss Mark Grace though, that guy was always a trainwreck.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Nice throw McCann!
BigG1392 - May 15, 2009
Heap…looking like Ross out there, very nice.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
He’s been doing much better at throwing out base runners this year.
That throw to 3rd the other night was on the money.
Too bad the ump blew the call.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Niiiiice throw HEAP!
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Who the fuck eats wings with a knife & fork? Thats just gay
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
Get your hands dirty
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Had some great ribs last night.
Nothing is better than a great rack of ribs with lots of sauce.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Why would the radio have a delay?
its like 5-10sec…
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
profanity
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
eh
noone listens to AM anyway…I won’t mind things “spiced” up a bit
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
lol
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Lol
Its sad when CBS sportsline is ahead of the radio feed!
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
SEE YA
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
CHIPPER HOMER! 3-2
BigG1392 - May 15, 2009
Quoting myself from earlier:
I love a man who follows directions. :-)
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Damn nice
To see Chip’s power coming back around
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
RH too
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Ok, so your SEE YA was related to the homer.
10-4 - May 15, 2009
duh
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
i was just giving you credit, i thought maybe you wouldn’t stay in your mom’s basement on a Friday night.
10-4 - May 15, 2009
You don’t know the half of it…spent 2 hours before the game playing some Baldur’s Gate/Diablo type RPG game on my 360.
Chick magnet over here.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Me and the wife went to town earlier, went to Target, then ate at Sonny’s BBQ. Now i’m in my recliner without a laptop and a beer.
10-4 - May 15, 2009
If you mean with a laptop and a beer…then we’re in the identical situation.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
yeah….that would be it.
10-4 - May 15, 2009
Anyone else feel like that was coming? I was expecting Davis to throw ball 4, but as soon as I saw where that pitch was going, I was already thinking “Chipper’s gonna knock this one out.”
Had to be satisfying after he saw 3 or 4 balls die on the track in Citi Field the past two games.
Bronn - May 15, 2009
LMFAO!!!!!!!
“Its now Shamwow, how about SLAMWOW!?”

All undeniable!
Cammando2317 - May 15, 2009
How about the Blendtec ones?

WTF is Blendtec?

Lets get an easy inning JV — lock ’em up!
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Oh well
I thought the Nats might take this one, but Manny just made the call to the bullpen. FAIL.
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Ugh
Rain delaying Zack Greinke’s start.
My fantasy team needs him!!
Bronn - May 15, 2009
So the Dbacks hitting coach isn’t on a lifetime contract like ours?
10-4 - May 15, 2009
He just came in this week
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
LOL did he throw up??
BigG1392 - May 15, 2009
D-Backs announcers...
are knob shlobbing Chipper. Pleasent change of pace from the NYM series
Sid Bream's Moustache - May 15, 2009
What exactly does that mean?
Little Lady - May 16, 2009
They wouldn’t shut the hell up about how great he is. As opposed to the Mets announcers who constantly try to make it seem like he’s not as good as he really is.
Smoltz's Beard - May 16, 2009
I see.
But, there’s not denying Chipper’s awesome godliness. I’m convinced that when/if Chipper dies, he’s going to become a baseball god and then they’ll always be on the Braves side.
Little Lady - May 16, 2009
Dang broken bat single.
Javy is looking some better this inning.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Lets get the 8 hitter plz!
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
thanks
for just telling me how to spell “radio booth”….
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
The Lemmer describing Maddux's cutter on the radio feed
“like a football.” That’s a pronated cutter baby.
VictorW - May 15, 2009
Man, I'm glad we have Logan patrolling CF...
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
LOL
Nick Johnson just got plunked, apparently in retaliation for the umps blown call earlier. Ump warns the phillies…
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
i bet it was Victorino’s idea.
10-4 - May 15, 2009
Surprised he didn’t just slide into first with is spikes up on a flyout.
VictorW - May 15, 2009
Yeah, I really want one of these burgers with ridiculous toppings…once I finally get a damn grill pan, I’m so making a buffalo bacon burger
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
I want a delicious Red Robin burger mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
chance13ga - May 15, 2009
I haven’t had Red Robin in years. Damn
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
it makes me drool
chance13ga - May 15, 2009
buffalo as in hot, or buffalo as in bison? actually both together sound good.
Had a green and hot (fresh jalapenos) bison burger at Ted’s last night, mmmm – minus the green gook (guac).
Lizziebeth - May 15, 2009
Hot…I’ve never had buffalo meat, though I’ve heard its delicious. Kinda hard to find around here
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
You can’t beat Ted’s burgers and their sours… Fantastic! Bison meat is underated!
Cammando2317 - May 15, 2009
Slow radio night...
discussing “can of corn” baseball-ism….zzzzzzzzz
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
76 through 5 for V
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Bring in JoJo!
10-4 - May 15, 2009
Phillies about to take the lead...
man the Nats bullpen is bad.
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
hey everybody!
sddbaker - May 15, 2009
evenin’
10-4 - May 15, 2009
hey Dr. Nick
chance13ga - May 15, 2009
suuuuuuuuuuuuuup
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
Whoda thunk it…John Danks gets absolutely hammered, while Maholm throws 7 shutout. Gay
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
does anybody else...
…have the Peachtree TV audio for their radio feed, or is it just me?
sddbaker - May 15, 2009
Thats a little odd
10-4 - May 15, 2009
A couple weeks ago, I had the radio feed for my TV broadcast…
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
yep...
Chip and Joe not describing plays like you would for radio….
sddbaker - May 15, 2009
3 run HR for Howard -- Phillies up 6-4
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
my son...
…stole my TV
sddbaker - May 15, 2009

Cammando2317 - May 15, 2009
Reynolds with the hat trick
VictorW - May 15, 2009
8 K’s, one more Javy!

Lizziebeth - May 15, 2009
8K’s thru 5.2 for NAHWAL
Cammando2317 - May 15, 2009
Reynolds overtakes Schafer for the K lead!
10-4 - May 15, 2009
unpossible!
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Me fail english??
Sid Bream's Moustache - May 15, 2009
they can battle it out..

Sisyphus: Rock :: KT : JoeChat
This hill doesn’t look too steep. Let’s get a-pushin’!
Joe Morgan: The fact that the Mets lost another game proves to me that the last three outs are sometimes tougher than I’ve ever thought they were.
English Language: [explodes]
Cole (California): Hey Joe, im a HUGE D’backs fan. By trading for Dunn, did they make a mistaking trading for him since they already have a hitter like him in Mark reynolds?
Hey Cole. KT here. Real quick: Mark Reynolds is nothing like Adam Dunn. Mark Reynolds has a .335 OBP in 223 career games (.324 this year, in 113 games). He has 81 walks in those 223 career games. Adam Dunn has 82 walks so far this year. He has a career OPS of .900. He hits 40 HR a year, every year, like clockwork. He is, and I know Mark Reynolds is young, a far better hitter than Mark Reynolds. Thanks for your time.
Joe Morgan: They do have a lot of hitters that strike out.
They are also 19th in OPS. Dunn immediately becomes their team leader in OPS. It is a good thing for their team that they got Dunn.
That’s one of the problems on that team. But Dunn helps because he will supply power that they also do not have. It will make for a frustrating offense, but he will definitely hit the ball out of the park on a consistent basis.
This marks the first time I have ever supported Joe Morgan using the word “consistent.”
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
JV really doesn't seem the same
pitching from the stretch
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
I really like Javy.
sddbaker - May 15, 2009
I miss anything?
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
My arrival!
sddbaker - May 15, 2009
That makes me sad, I can’t believe I missed that!
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
Besides chippers bomb??
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
just a bunch of outs
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Chipper homered
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
And you talking about wings and red robin!
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
had..
..a Bonzai Burger there last weekend..
sddbaker - May 15, 2009
Do explain.
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
sddbaker - May 15, 2009
Woooooooooooow. Intense
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
And other assorted food products, as I usually do…
I’m now eating a giant hunk of Italian bread. No toppings required
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
lol…getting read for bathing suit season I see!
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
I’m fucking HUNGRY. My body isn’t used to dieting
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
Besides, its not about the bathing suit for me…I don’t swim and tan in my backyard. Its about looking trim for my reunion in July
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
lol
FOR SURE!
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
Vazquez being silly.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
I love Vazquez.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Went to take a shower and make a drink…I see the score is the same.
I missed 2 of Javy’s innings – is he still striking out people?
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
8 thru 6
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Good to hear. Maybe that 1st is the worst tonight.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
yup
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
JV @ 94 pitches...
hopefully he can take out the 789 in 7th inning
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Epic Fail on the mlb.com radio feed i pay for.
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
you're not getting Joe and Chip?
sddbaker - May 15, 2009
I cant get anything, it wont load
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
why pay
when you can get it for free?
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Heap robbed..
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Heap was robbed.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
try:
http://www.freebaseballradio.com/AtlantaMay.html
I’m listening to WFIS 1600 — first one on the list
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
9 K’s, shut him down!
10-4 - May 15, 2009
and there's 9
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Javy
wants nothing to do with this catcher…
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
nice recovery
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
indeed
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Our lead isn’t nearly big enough.
We need a couple insurance runs.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
silly Chipper...
….thought there were 3 outs…
sddbaker - May 15, 2009
Yeah, somebody’s giving him hell in the dugout too.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Looks like Dougie Fresh here isn’t happy about getting pulled
Sid Bream's Moustache - May 15, 2009
I watched some movie on FEARNET today about a dude killing phone sex operators…yeeeeeeeeeeeah. It was bizarre
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
how did he get their locations?
sddbaker - May 15, 2009
He was dating one of the girls.
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
I saw one called Water Nun!! It was ridiculous.
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
nice job
bringing in a RH pinch hitter?
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
I just had a 17 year old girl come into my pharmacy, take a pregnancy test into the bathroom, got a positive result…
Then she told me the birth control I’ve been giving her doesn’t work because she takes it everyday she has intercourse, but ONLY on the days she has intercourse.
SORRY SWEETIE… dont name it after me!
Cammando2317 - May 15, 2009
LOL, she’d pop a pill right before? Thats hilarious
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
that kid’s gonna be a genius. This is what leads to Idiocracy.
10-4 - May 15, 2009
hey I water my lawn w/ Gatorade dammit
chance13ga - May 15, 2009
BRAWNDO!!
Its got electrolytes!
10-4 - May 15, 2009
Dont worry...
She’s on Medicaid… you’ll be paying for the kid every Friday on payday!
Cammando2317 - May 15, 2009
LOVE THAT MOVIE
dc_allday - May 15, 2009
That ain’t no etch-a-sketch home skillet, that is one doddle that can’t be undone.
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
get this guy
and then its soriano / gonzo time!
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
10 K’s…very nice
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
10K's
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
FILTHY
Vazquez is a beast. The key is keeping the EVIL VAZQUEZ inning under 4 runs. The rest of the way he is always golden.
Sid Bream's Moustache - May 15, 2009
10 K’s, damn you Javy!
10-4 - May 15, 2009
So, the Mariners have officially ruined Brandon Morrow. Good work, guys
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
I heard they turned another one of their top pitching prospects into a reliever and of course they just signed Josh Fields.
VictorW - May 15, 2009
Yeah, they turned Aumont into a reliever. Genius.
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
get the fuck out?
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Swear to god
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/draft-reviews-seattle-mariners
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
wow…people actually think that’s a good idea?
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
They thought giving Johjima a 3 year extension with Jeff Clement right there was a good idea.
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
ha, yeah…i didn’t mean their organization. i was talking about outside opinion. Fangraphs didn’t rip the idea to pieces, although one of the author’s is a massive M’s fan
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
I like how they said he’s dominating…just scanned his stats…yeah. No
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
cost me a win in fantasy…felix pitched a nice game
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Cost me 40 cents on Centsports!
VictorW - May 15, 2009
haha. i have felix is almost every league too…disaster
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
ha
Joe with his Home Depot Apron on and tape measure measuring Chipper’s homer!
10-4 - May 15, 2009
Hilarious. I really enjoy Joe in the booth.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Did FYF just walk?!
VictorW - May 15, 2009
unpossible
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
And running on contact kept them out of the DP
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
FAINT
10-4 - May 15, 2009
leadoff BB no less!
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
I wish
FYF had usable speed and could steal
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
32,593
10-4 - May 15, 2009
Well that settles it, FRANCOEUR IS IMPROVING
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
Schafer, however
has not
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
team leader in triples!
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Radio feed is working!
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
and simultaneously...
I go from Peachtree audio to Lemmer and whatshisname on the radio feed…
sddbaker - May 15, 2009
Jim Powell
Before the game, he was saying Don Sutton wasn’t there because he has invested in a movie about the world’s biggest ball of yarn in Kansas, and they had begun filming. I didn’t know how to take that.
10-4 - May 15, 2009
yeah....I heard that too, when I was in my car...
….I couldn’t tell if he was serious or not, either…
sddbaker - May 15, 2009
I think Schafer was sitting on the inside fastball in that AB
Lennox - May 15, 2009
Too soon to pull Javy?
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
no
107 pitches is plenty, top of the order coming up — get soriano / gonzo in
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
EOF is coming in
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
Thanks for the pitch count… I was clueless.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Damnit Norton…walks don’t help you score runs
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
He hates baseball, just collecting a check.
Lennox - May 15, 2009
lets go omar
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
JV’s peripherals are absolutely filthy
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
where you staying in baltimore?
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
Hell if I know
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
Did hobbs say there was a Days Inn or something close to the stadium?
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
I think. That place is gonna get turned upside down
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
love it
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
that weekend...
…is going to be legendary…
sddbaker - May 15, 2009
Please tell me you’re gonna make a cameo too
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
i could be there...
…and yall would never know….
sddbaker - May 15, 2009
haha…incognito
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Glasses and a mustache, taking pictures of the debauchery and posting them on TC, costing bigjoe his new authorship.
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
totally opposite of the serene scene I shot last year. :)
Lizziebeth - May 15, 2009
Hahahaha yes
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
Explain please!
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
Facebook.
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
Your facebook??
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
Sorry, thought you went there already! It’ll be too thin if I post it here. Hmmm, I’ll reply to another comment somewhere in here…
Lizziebeth - May 15, 2009
shhh....
sddbaker - May 15, 2009
haha
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
I am at a place called the Mount Vernon Inn, not too bad price wise, got good reviews too.
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
How much a night and how close to the stadium?
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Lemme check.
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
$93 Saturday and $85 Sunday
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
Not bad…hopefully it’s a short cab ride to the stadium?
I really need to starting planning this. I’m also trying to go to ATL for the Red Sox series if anyone is interested in meeting up.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
When is it?
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
Either June or July…not sure off the top of my head
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
June 26-28
Lizziebeth - May 15, 2009
ty
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
That’s gonna be an expensive month…Atlanta and Baltimore trips within two weeks of one another.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
You need to go to Boston for the Braves series!
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
Already did that once, this time it’s ATL. I’ve never been…I’m so ashamed!
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
i’ll be going to the game vs the Yankee’s on 6/23, but thats a weeknight.
10-4 - May 15, 2009
I’m going to chance getting a $1 ticket, if nothing else.
Lizziebeth - May 15, 2009
Let me know if you decide to come, none of the Boston games are in my 9 game plan, but i might come up.
10-4 - May 15, 2009
1.03 miles
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
INTERESTING…
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
I would say that it is within stumbling distance, but it is Baltimore and we might get shanked.
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
You need to invite the guy who walks five blocks with his friends.
10-4 - May 15, 2009
but wants a van to pick him up
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
I’ve seen The Wire…I’ll get a cab.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
LOL
Never seen it. Good?
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
best show ever
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
better than OZ?
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
Never seen that, but I’ve heard good things. It’s on my Netflix queue. And actually, now that you mention it…alot of the same actors from Oz are main characters in The Wire.
It’s a cop drama in Baltimore, but they give equal screen time to the drug dealers which is cool because they do a good job of showing that they’re people just like you and me…and unlike shows like CSI the case isn’t solved at the end of every episode.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Showtime??
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
HBO. Last season ended last year.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
gotya, both channels do an excellent job in original programming.
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
indeed. watching The Tudors right now via netflix
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
I enjoy Entourage, I heard Deadwood was good.
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
Loved Entourage until like the third season. Deadwood is my 2nd favorite show.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
I’ll have to check it out!
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
I’m intrigued
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
Just checked, the same prices are available.
Here
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
remind me about this tomorrow and i’ll take care of it
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
I’ll try, when is the game tomorrow? I have to work graduation! YAY, 100 degrees!!!
Lizziebeth, you have to work graduation at your job?
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
Just post a comment in this thread or something…I’ll see it.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Our graduation...
was last weekend, but I went to my daughter’s in Louisville.
sddbaker - May 15, 2009
Nice, congrats to your daughter!
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
No, thankyajesus! Especially since the students are going to be pissed because the only speaker is the president of the school. No special guest speaker. I feel for them.
Lizziebeth - May 15, 2009
lol, yeah our department is in charge of graduation and summer school
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
whew! It’s a tough assignment. People in our dept. used to handle it, so I’ve seen what you go through to make it happen. Hope all goes well tomorrow!
Lizziebeth - May 15, 2009
Thanks!
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
I was so pumped when we made that trade…and I’m loving every minute of it
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
I'm a bit torn
I really like how he’s been pitching for us, but I know quite a few ChiSox fans who keep telling me that there’s no way he’ll keep it up. And i really like Flowers.
Lennox - May 15, 2009
a pox on them…..
sddbaker - May 15, 2009
I’ve always been a big Javy fan, so I’m going to stay hopelessly optimistic for the time being
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
TC meet-up day 2008
rh and bigjoe
p.s. Just fyi, I never publish a pic of anyone I know’s (full) face without asking first. Since bigjoe’s already posted his own pic, I’m thinking it’s ok to put this one up.
Lizziebeth - May 15, 2009
With the Jamie Kotsay shirt, CLASSIC!! YOU ARE A STALKER!!!
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
he must work out.
10-4 - May 15, 2009
Dang, we reeeeeallly needed another run there.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
I would feel more comfortable…
sddbaker - May 15, 2009
Kelly woulda doubled there:(
Rhyno18 - May 15, 2009
O’Flaherty coming in.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Is bobby giving Soriano / Gonzo night off?
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
That was Rauch last inning with that horrible tattoo? ugh…
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Why not Soriano? Or Gonzo?
MatM - May 15, 2009
Probably wants to get one or both of them an extra night off because they’ve been so overworked the last week. Hopefully we don’t get burned on it…
VictorW - May 15, 2009
Moylan warming up…interesting
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Probably gonna have him pitch to the RH Upton
MatM - May 15, 2009
correct
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Very nice EOF
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
good to see
he has a decent shot to get righties out
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
he’s been lights out lately
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
2 out
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Thats why we brought in EOF, thanks
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
Good job for the O!
He’s quietly done his job for us….I’ve been impressed.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
attendance is 32k+? damn, they give out free tickets or something?
Rhyno18 - May 15, 2009
Friday night...
…is usually their best attendance…
sddbaker - May 15, 2009
I’m going tommorrow night, hopefully i’ll win one of the Jersey’s Off Our Backs. I’d be standing on the the field pitching a tent if i got Chippers…or anyone’s really.
10-4 - May 15, 2009
I’m thisclose to making popcorn.
Anybody else want some?
Do I dare with Tequila?

Spike it with wing sauce.
bigjoe - May 15, 2009

Lizziebeth - May 15, 2009
The popcorn or the Tequlia?
Neither sounds appetizing.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Sure sign that you’ll never be a career alcoholic.
That can be a good thing.

Lizziebeth - May 15, 2009
DOOOOOO EEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTT!!!!!
Rhyno18 - May 15, 2009

Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
We have 3 guys in the top 20 in the NL in K/9. Awesome
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
That’s nice to read.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
I got riled up at a guy on AmazinAvenue....
…and threw some pitching stats at him the other night….couldn’t sleep….

Please throw strikes Pete
MatM - May 15, 2009
dear Lord
Reyes and Parr in the bullpen!
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
What a cheap hit
VictorW - May 15, 2009
that’s a BABIP hit if I’ve ever seen one
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Bringing in Soriano?
MatM - May 15, 2009
Gameday says coaching visit.
MatM - May 15, 2009
Nope -- see above
Parr and REYES are our fallback plan
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
see above…apparently Reyes and Parr are warming up
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Careful with Reynolds
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Gonzo getting loose, too
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
c'mon golden sombero
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Yay groundballs
VictorW - May 15, 2009
nice work Pete!
Rhyno18 - May 15, 2009
Whew. Now, can we get another run?
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Radio feed
Says Gonzo standing around, but not warming up yet…perhaps he’ll be in for the 9th
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
yup…he’s got his jacket on getting loose
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Who the hell is going to pitch the 9th?
MatM - May 15, 2009
Who has the “official crystal ball of the open thread” tonight?
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Actually have a crystal baseball, but memory card is screwing up, so I can’t upload the pic. Grr
Lizziebeth - May 15, 2009
Lizzie, I have one of those too. Imagine that.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Ha ha, that’s too cool!
Lizziebeth - May 15, 2009
I suspect Gonzo for 9th
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Gonzo was getting warm earlier
Im sure he will get the ball
Sid Bream's Moustache - May 15, 2009
Line drives, Yunel
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
or not
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009

C’mon GA
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009

Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
FUGA should bunt
MatM - May 15, 2009
1 sac bunt
in his last 10 years…I don’t think its going to happen
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Gonzo warming up on TV
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Or In play, no out
MatM - May 15, 2009

fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
GAnderson glided that ball though the hole
VictorW - May 15, 2009
the professional hitter comes thru again. I may have to change my signature
Rhyno18 - May 15, 2009
Never.

sddbaker - May 15, 2009
Come on Heap – I have you as my ptc!
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Fucking D-back’s announcer won’t shut up about how good GA is, and he just called him “a glider”…
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
i was listening to that talk about funny
Buttafuco13 - May 15, 2009
Gliders have no power, so it’s apt.
Lennox - May 15, 2009
Boo Heap…
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Well, up to FYF
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
here comes mikie
Buttafuco13 - May 15, 2009
Shitty…playing FYF up the middle like that.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
FYF Robbed
drumzalicious - May 15, 2009
I hope these 2 innings in a row with men on base – and left there – don’t come back to bite us in the ass.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Well it depends on which Gonzo we see tonight
drumzalicious - May 15, 2009
Just Did
drumzalicious - May 15, 2009
Yep and Javy doesn’t get the win no matter what.
Dammit!
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Infield should be playing FYF to K
that’s bs!
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Actually
He hasnt been K’ing as much as last year
drumzalicious - May 15, 2009
EOF
has anyone else been pleasantly surprised by EOF? in Spring Training he wasnt to impressive and i actually thought they would give it to Boone Logan but he has really been essentially our Lefty Setup man and more consistent than Moylan in some ways
drumzalicious - May 15, 2009
Ugh…christ Gonzo, find the zone
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
I thought….his sway looked a little odd tonight.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
mike is looking a little wild
Buttafuco13 - May 15, 2009
fuck
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009

Rhyno18 - May 15, 2009
Well as i said depends on which gonzo
drumzalicious - May 15, 2009
what a hanger…
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
What the fuck Gonzo
MatM - May 15, 2009
thanks radio guys
Just said “Gonzalez has been good”…
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Credit Gonzo with a BS
Buttafuco13 - May 15, 2009
goddamn I’m sick of our bullpen fucking our starters out of wins
Rhyno18 - May 15, 2009
He’s slider has been shit lately
MatM - May 15, 2009
His*
MatM - May 15, 2009
Lets pick him up in btm 9th
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Soo . . . .
What do we do about Gonzo. do they put Soriano as the closer or give him another shot?
drumzalicious - May 15, 2009
Soriano just blew one himself
MatM - May 15, 2009
bobby will let him blow 3-4 more saves
Buttafuco13 - May 15, 2009
Soriano
gave up a lead last game — its going to happen. Do nothing
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Twice in the last 3 games. There was that game against the Nationals when Soriano’s secondary pitches werent working but he still got it done with his fastball.
drumzalicious - May 15, 2009
Blown saves
are going to happen…Bobby has shown he’s going to go matchups with Soriano / Gonzo and I’m ok with that.
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
I swear, his “sway” doesn’t look the same.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
You're right...
I was excited to see the “sway” tonight, and it never really looked right. It was more of a rocking motion than a swaying one.
Little Lady - May 16, 2009
Damn. I hate this for Javy….a quality start pissed away.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
quality start? trying terrific start.
it’s gotta be frustrating.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Good outting other than that fucking first batter.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
You guys made it sound like he was standing around for a while, maybe he wasn’t loose?
MatM - May 15, 2009
tough to say…Parr and Reyes were warming up as Moylan pitched, Gonzo was standing behind them with his jacket on stretching
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Gonzo was filthy other than that one stupid pitch
VictorW - May 15, 2009
Braves could use a walk of win to jump start this home stead
Buttafuco13 - May 15, 2009
Logan walk off please
VictorW - May 15, 2009
im sure he could use that confidence
Buttafuco13 - May 15, 2009
Braves fans could use that too.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
lol very true
Buttafuco13 - May 15, 2009
Well, a base knock is a start.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009

back out for more

Yall see Damon draw on the ground where the pitch was??? LOL, tossed!
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
haha, nice. teammate in HS did that with the same result. we were dying on the bench.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
hahaha…love it
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
lol!
i had a game earlier tonight and i did that. Didnt get tossed though
SayHeyWerd - May 16, 2009
i wish bobby would let him run
Buttafuco13 - May 15, 2009
Please don’t bunt
VictorW - May 15, 2009
Come on Kelly, make something happen
bigjoe - May 15, 2009
Finally Logan
Thats the hand speed I know you have
Sid Bream's Moustache - May 15, 2009
Hit & Run?
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
can we try and steal for a change!
fphjr01 - May 15, 2009
Didnt he get picked off the last time?
drumzalicious - May 15, 2009
Let him run Bobby
MatM - May 15, 2009
+ 10^9
Sid Bream's Moustache - May 15, 2009
haha
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
I guess KJ can't be bother to go high socks when he is playin off the bench
Sid Bream's Moustache - May 15, 2009
lmao thats to funny
Buttafuco13 - May 15, 2009
He’s hoping Bobby won’t recognize him with long pants on and actually let him play some.
Rhyno18 - May 15, 2009
If he doesn’t get over some how, I’m gonna be pissed.
MatM - May 15, 2009
they keep trying to pick us off. they must not have read the scouting report. we dont run

Rhyno18 - May 15, 2009
Alright, come on Omar. Just a little knock
bigjoe - May 15, 2009

drumzalicious - May 15, 2009

Buttafuco13 - May 15, 2009
Thought for sure they would send him…
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
Stupid Infante hit it too hard
VictorW - May 15, 2009
I’d like a squeeze here please
MatM - May 15, 2009
He had to hold him, don’t want Schafer to get doubled off if that ball is caught.
BigG1392 - May 15, 2009
YES!
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009

A Jones went deep tonight.
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
I know rules are rules – but there’s just something wrong about a pitcher able to blow a save and get the win instead of the guy who gave you 7 strong innings.
NCChopper - May 15, 2009
Yeah, it’s been a rough week for Gonzo. Hopefully he can turn it around.
BigG1392 - May 15, 2009
that’s why judging pitchers based on W/L is dumb.
Smoltz's Beard - May 15, 2009
OH BABY, YOU, GOT WHAT I NEEEEEEDDDD!!!!! But you say he’s just a friend!
mvandonsel - May 15, 2009
Loved the pre-game pep talk in the dugout, Chip
Keep up the good work, guys. They’re starting to realize we have a very strong chance of seriously fucking some other clubs up, bad. We need to just keep doing what we are currently doing. It’s “clicking.” And I have a feeling the next time we play the Mets, it’s going to be dirty.
Hopefully the Mutts, Thillies, and Fish all lose tonite. Or the Nats. Either way.
Chief Noc-A-Homa - May 15, 2009
Can you imagine if Jeter did a pre-game pep talk in the dugout, and then the Yankees had a last AB win? ESPN would be demanding that he be placed in the HOF immediately.
Lennox - May 15, 2009

Smoltz's Beard - May 16, 2009
