Jair Jurrjens goes against Jon Garland tonight and hopefully we can get to Garland early. There were rumors about us picking up Garland in the offseason but they never happened, thank God. He is sporting a 4.70 ERA with more walks than strike outs on the season (21:20 in 53 innings). Jair has been our best pitcher so far this season but I can't help but wonder when he is going to come back down to earth. His peripherals don't really support his ERA at this point. I'm not complaining and the kid is young and very good, but I get the feeling he has been a little lucky so far this season.
I don't even know what to say about the offense anymore. Most of the Braves have only faced Garland once (and none of the regulars have done well) but he is pretty terrible so maybe we can get something off of him. We need to get in here and take the last two games of this series. Right now we are a game under .500 and we are only 3.5 out of first place. If we can make a couple of pickups here soon it won't be too late to make a run. Lets just hope something is in the works.

IS it normal to keep watching this over and over and over and over
Cammando2317 - May 29, 2009
No.
You need therapy.
Little Lady - May 29, 2009
who’s bling was your avatar before you changed it
Cammando2317 - May 29, 2009
I think...
You’re thinking of Lizziebeth.
Little Lady - May 29, 2009
Purely a technical question….are we allowed to post animated gifs?
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
who’ bling was your avatar before you changed it
Cammando2317 - May 29, 2009
ha ha ha. are you gonna hit on every lady on the site with that line?!
It’s Gonzo’s bling.
Lizziebeth - May 29, 2009
TC favorite Luke Scott is pulverizing Dontrelle Willis tonight.
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Its Dontrelle Willis
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
But its 2 HRs…
Tim Goad - May 29, 2009
Mets & Marlins tied at 1 going into the 9th…Calero just got out of a bases loaded jam. Phils up 5-4 on the Nats in the 7th, bases loaded 1 out for Philly
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Mayberry strikes out on a NASTY hook
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
from whom?
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
Joe Beimel of all people. He got out of the inning unscathed too
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Lineup
Johnson 2B
Escobar SS
Chipper 3b
Heap C
GAnderson LF
Kotchman 1B
Francoeur RF
Schafer CF
Jurrjens P
fandave - May 29, 2009
So close Bobby…you just have to rearrange THREE PLAYERS
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
if esco is back why isnt he leading off?
bpk228480 - May 29, 2009
Only logic I can offer is that maybe Bobby wants to get him comfortable in the lineup before he gets him comfortable in the leadoff slot
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Before my beverage kicks in too much.....
I’d like to post and say how much I appreciate the Open Game Threads.
As someone who can’t offer up stats off the top of my head, know the ins/outs of the minor league teams and the nuances of the matchups each game…I appreciate a place I can come and experience the game with others across the country real time, as the game is happening.
I enjoy sharing the frustration when we’re doing poorly and celebrating with abandon on every RBI, HR, great defensive play and/or strikeout by our pitchers.
I don’t participate much in the fanposts and wouldn’t dare start one for fear of being carved up by the fans who know much more than I – so I appreciate this unique type of forum to enjoy the games.
Now….
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
the nahwal predictions are fun too
Bravely going forward - May 29, 2009
You’re welcome.
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Absolutely! I love trying my hand at good guessing on those.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
You are currently in a tie for 47th place overall. Considering its out of 127, you’re almost in the upper third
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Aww bigjoe, if I didn’t know better, I’d think you were flirting with me LOL.
But seriously, thanks for the info….never knew I was closing in on .500 :-)
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
i completely agree with you…its taken my braves fandom to a whole new level
bpk228480 - May 29, 2009
Well said…..I feel the same NCChopper!
HEYJUDE - May 29, 2009
Jair
i am beginning to suspect that Jair is just a pitcher whose peripherals are always going to look worse then his hard data. Looking back at him with the tigers minor leagues neither scouts, nor stat heads were raving about him. He was a throw-in in the renteria trade and a back end of 100 lists at the time. Please note, i think he is not going to keep a 2.07 era, but he isn’t going to balloon up to the 4’s where his peripherals say he should be.
heapofoatmeal - May 29, 2009
His FIP is actually 3.74, which is quite serviceable for a 3 in this day and age
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Jair should have at least six wins if our offense was even decent. I understand why Burnett and Peavy didn’t want to come here.
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
So yeah. We really need to win this one tonight.
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
Is everyone having a good Wieters Day? I got a haircut. It was awesome.
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
You mean THIS Weiters?
Click Me
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
Kelly sees 3 pitches and Boog commends him for being patient.
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
and then…
Bravely going forward - May 29, 2009
wooooo nice start
bpk228480 - May 29, 2009
Great start.
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
lol it sucks how many times we’ve said that
bpk228480 - May 29, 2009
Wieters isnt gonna be anywhere near as good as Frenchy. He worries about making smart throws and his OPS too much.
Tim Goad - May 29, 2009
ahhh shit
Bravely going forward - May 29, 2009
Oh my god. We got a break?? No
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
Anyone have a feed for me? Showtime appears to be down and theres nothing on StickTV
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
I’m looking, but not finding
MatM - May 29, 2009
I’m trying too – but no luck yet.
Maybe as the Phils and Mets games end, they’ll add this feed.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
Fuck Matt Wieters, Joe Mauer is 3/4 with a triple and 2 baserunners nailed. Awesome.
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Well, Joe Mauer is a real man, he eats nails and drinks motor oil for breakfast.
Tim Goad - May 29, 2009
Come on HEAP!!!!
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
Brian’s in need of a launch.
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
fucking robbed. goddamit
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
ridiculous vidro
bpk228480 - May 29, 2009
Baltimore drew 42 and change for Wieters debut today. Seriously?
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Why wouldn't they?
VictorW - May 29, 2009
haha nice
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
That is awesome.
Do you deserve credit for that?
10-4 - May 29, 2009
Not me. The site is www.ianolandwaydesign.com (which apparantly I don’t have access to).
VictorW - May 29, 2009
i don’t either apparently.
10-4 - May 29, 2009
I have 4 of those postcards autographed above my desk, and a few more in my safe. Awwwwwwesome
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
i’ve bid on some eddie mathews ones, but lost every time. my father in law has several, including mantle.
10-4 - May 29, 2009
Yeah, when I was at the HOF, it was a year before Mantle died, so he obviously wasn’t at the autograph session…there were 2 sessions, mine had Berra, Spahn (though I didn’t get a card from him cuz he was a mean old man), Killebrew, Musial, Brooks Robinson among others.
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
nice.
i do have a spahn auto psa certified that i won awhile back. its just a sheet of paper in a graded case.
10-4 - May 29, 2009
Nice…mine is on this…placemat looking thing with a bunch of other HOFers
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
my Steve Avery auto is on a Mad Italian napkin. Byung Hyun Kim’s on a piece of credit card machine paper. lol. Was plain too scared to ask Ken Caminiti for his.
Lizziebeth - May 29, 2009
ROID RAGE
Maybe he could have scored you some crack
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Ohhhhh…missed opp. rats.
Kept his head down most of the time he was there, didn’t smile of course. Massive Popeye arms. Ate the biggest sushi platter we had, other than the boat.
Lizziebeth - May 29, 2009
and now he’s gone.
10-4 - May 29, 2009
why wouldnt everyone come out to see the 2nd coming of Ty Cobb-Johnny Bench-Honus Wagner?
Tim Goad - May 29, 2009
K #1 for JJ
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
Brad Lidge probably coming on to blow the save for Philly
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
I don’t like high change ups JJ
MatM - May 29, 2009
Well, at least we’ve got Klutchman coming up… maybe he can get a hit. Oh but then Frenchy and Schafer would just K so it doesn’t matter.
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
He’s not gonna get any pitches to hit
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
FUGA double!! oh my god.
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
Billy Butler just hit one into the stratusphere
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
professional double
longshotsmith - May 29, 2009
looks like the ’backs are playin a little sloppy. maybe they want to give it away.
Bravely going forward - May 29, 2009
Need a Klutch RBI here
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
The game is gonna be on sticktv once the Mets game ends, thank god
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Thank goodness it was far enough for him to have to do anything but “glide” into 2nd.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
Klutch single!
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
.274~!
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Klutch Koch came through!
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
it don’t know if i’d call it a “twitch” but casey does some weird stuff with his mouth before his swing
Bravely going forward - May 29, 2009
Professional baserunning by not running on the ball to the right.
10-4 - May 29, 2009
Oh god Failcoeur is up
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
he took a pitch!
longshotsmith - May 29, 2009
LIVE LOOK IN FOR THE RF’S AB
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Kotchman has maybe a 2 step lead, hilarious
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
fyf is back!
bpk228480 - May 29, 2009
That was only a hit cuz Tracy had to hold Kotchman on
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
still probably would’ve got the run in
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
Woulda also been 2 outs
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
holy shit, I don’t believe it
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
well, then again, it was off Garland, the bane of bigjoe’s penis
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
More walks than strikeouts
Could you IMAGINE if we signed him instead of Kawakami?
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
yeah, but think about how much fun it would have been to sign neither of them, or Anderson but have Dunn in LF. sigh
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
3 year extension!
10-4 - May 29, 2009
Hallelujah!
Miracles DO happen!
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
i hope the scouts were watching
10-4 - May 29, 2009
am i the only one thinking he should actually sacrfice in front of jj
bpk228480 - May 29, 2009
Quit f-ing bunting!
10-4 - May 29, 2009
Nick Johnson just got called out on something that was clearly outside. Philly bias!
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Schafer!! Wow this is rare.
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
Lightning CAN strike twice!
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
FAIL – no RBI, I was a little premature there ….. hehehehehe
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
ripped the cover off it!
bpk228480 - May 29, 2009
what was with that roll? he rolled over like three times.
Bravely going forward - May 29, 2009
Their second baseman has a large tattoo on his neck. disturbing
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
he’s covered in tats
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
I like tatoos as much as the next gal...
but that is seriously disturbing.
Little Lady - May 30, 2009
Bases loaded no outs!
HEYJUDE - May 29, 2009
Base hit JJ!!!
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
4-0!!!! :D
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
There we GO!!!! Nice job JJ!
2 HIT RBI!
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
did the braves and dbacks switch uniforms?
bpk228480 - May 29, 2009
We’ve been saving up runs for about 4 games now so I guess it’s time to use them all this game
VictorW - May 29, 2009
JJ is a beast
longshotsmith - May 29, 2009
holy hell, its gonna be one of those 12 run nights
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
yeaaaa when we only need 3 to win
bpk228480 - May 29, 2009
Anyone have an online feed besides MLB TV? Im in a blackout area for MLB TV.
Tim Goad - May 29, 2009
If you choose the team’s feed thats not in your blackout area, should be fine
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
I dont have the Premium package…
Tim Goad - May 29, 2009
Are you serious, thats why I’m allowed to do that? Damn
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Try a proxy.
17843 - May 29, 2009
LOL, I just saw Schafer’s hit. MLB.TV sucks
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
i so called it. they wanna give it away tonight.
Bravely going forward - May 29, 2009
KJ fail. way to kill the momentum
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
wow Kelly, WTF?
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
I’m trying way too hard to find a stream to not be finding one
MatM - May 29, 2009
nice ab esco
bpk228480 - May 29, 2009
Way to fail at getting JJ home.
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
What the shit was with that moonbeam of a throw to second at the JJ AB?
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
ugly, wasn’t it?
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
Esco fail, gotta get the runner in from third, and our 1 & 2 hitters didn’t, dammit
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
FUGA’s got a touch of grey
Bravely going forward - May 29, 2009
walk. 2 on for Mac
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
Damn
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
Well. at least Heap made the stadium of DBacks fans pucker a bit with that one.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
Just missed a HR
HEYJUDE - May 29, 2009
Longoria just lined one off Jesse Crain’s ass
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Yea, the MLB network guy said his thigh, but that was his ass cheek
MatM - May 29, 2009
Now if only KJ or Esco would have done that.
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
I'm sick of this feast of famine bullshit
we need to score runs more consistently.
but I’m not complaining about having a lead
beeswax - May 29, 2009
kinda sounds like you are.
10-4 - May 29, 2009
i wish we didn’t have the lead.
that’s complaining
beeswax - May 29, 2009
umm, no…that’s a D’backs fan.
Bravely going forward - May 29, 2009
Mixing Texas Pete into my chicken fried rice may have been a mistake…my insides don’t feel too hot
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
10-4 - May 29, 2009
But I admire a man who’s willing to live dangerously.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
However, that may burn later south of the border (and not in a good way)
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
My room stinks horribly right now
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
glad I’m here and you’re there
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
You may have crossed over into TMI with that one bigjoe.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
You haven’t been around here long to experience open thread summer magic…
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Should I be scared or excited about the prospects of what’s in store?
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
I’m gonna say “scared”
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
snicker
Lizziebeth - May 29, 2009
lol
Bravely going forward - May 29, 2009
lol at Joe stealing the chair from FSN Arizona.
10-4 - May 29, 2009
Tight strike zone tonight?
MatM - May 29, 2009
As that was clearly a strike. Yeah
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
Gameday is saying a lot of these pitches are strikes
MatM - May 29, 2009
David Wright woulda had that foul pop
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Awesome, .TV froze on me
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
damn … only way JJ gives up runs is his own inabilty to keep people from running
Circle - - May 29, 2009
And the fact that the guy on second got on a bad call
MatM - May 29, 2009
Whew!
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
Wow!!
Bravely going forward - May 29, 2009
Guuuuuuuuuuuuuureat!
10-4 - May 29, 2009
awesome job all the way around, Schafer, Kelly and Heap all played that perfectly
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
Awesome play….
HEYJUDE - May 29, 2009
Excellent play by Schafer / Kelly / Heap there!
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
I don’t know how I feel about MLB.tv. The feed is lagging even when I refresh. Kinda pissed.
17843 - May 29, 2009
YES!
Great play. Nice to see Logan starting to realize he needs to wait for the bounce off the wall.
Lizziebeth - May 29, 2009
Do I see at least 3 females here tonight?
Way to “represent” ladies!
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
Can someone say “orgy”?
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Yeah, but “sayin’” it ain’t nearly as much fun.
Not that I would know such things mind you.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
Wow. You’re dirty
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
(in my best Scarlett O’Hara accent)
I’ll have you know, I just showered.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
Talking Chop is gonna have to become a pay site if this talk keeps up.
10-4 - May 29, 2009
lol. gondee would like that.
Lizziebeth - May 29, 2009
I’d like that, because I’d get a cut for “original content”
Do something with THAT, you sick freaks
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
So that would be a “PayPerBlog”?
Without visual aids, not likely to turn a profit with what I’ve seen so far, these guys like their eye candy.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
don’t you dare ruin the male fantasy.
10-4 - May 29, 2009
go girlfriend
10-4 - May 29, 2009
I think there is 4, u, lizzie, jude, and little lady I believe
MatM - May 29, 2009
Great! 4 and counting.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
Mets win…that means sticktv should be up now!
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
I wonder who was in charge of getting the shot of the diamondback on the railroad track?
10-4 - May 29, 2009
It was a great shot. Hubby goes horseback riding there (AZ desert) a lot and says they are incredibly hard to see.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
Who got the hit this inning?
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
nevermind. Of course it was Klutch
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
Kotch
HEYJUDE - May 29, 2009
Two on for the RBI machine JJ
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
So FYF had his high point of the night, back to normal.
10-4 - May 29, 2009
And how INEPT does he look now that JJ got the walk.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
Bases loaded. KJ has to make him pay here.
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
JJ for RF!
10-4 - May 29, 2009
agreed
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
once again, or pitcher should be batting in the 6 or 7 hole, based on performance
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
*our pitcher
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
Would should pull a Joe Maddon, bat our pitcher third
MatM - May 29, 2009
Lowe, JJ, Kawakami and Vazquez have all had good at bats this year.
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
FINALLY KJ!
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
way to go Kelly!
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
ESPN putting ads in the middle of GameCast while it loads is infuriating
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
I couldnt agree more
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
Great job KELLY!!!!
2 RBIs
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
Holy shit, i just get on and we scored!
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
Great AB for kelly
HEYJUDE - May 29, 2009
Thank god we didn’t sign Garland
MatM - May 29, 2009
MOON SHOT BY ESCO!
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
CRUSHED
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
Escobar you animal!
VictorW - May 29, 2009
DOB said on his blog today the guys watched Scarface before the game…i guess their testosterone levels are crazy high tonight
Bravely going forward - May 29, 2009
I can just imagine the right fielder getting a stupid look on his face, walking up behind Heap, tapping him on the shoulder, and screaming YOU COCKROACH in his face while Heap rolls his eyes
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
I told you guys…Jon Garland
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
rusty nail, your dick, we know, we know :)
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
I know that a Rusty Nail is a drink with Scotch…the rest I’ll take your word for it.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
Yeah, there were some outbursts…
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
THANK GOD HES BACK
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
Esco!
that was deep!
HEYJUDE - May 29, 2009
Escobar AIRMAIL on the way!!!
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
Lizziebeth - May 29, 2009
Is it just me...
or does our line up seem much better with Yunel in it? With him up top we he have a very hard out, and it drops other hitters to slots they play better in
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
i think we can now blame the four game losing streak on him!
10-4 - May 29, 2009
We definitely missed him.
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
We can do more with the lineup with him in there. When you have someone like Diory, theres a lot less flexibility
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
especially with Frenchy in the lineup.
rockybull - May 29, 2009
Escobar=Manimal
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
thats why you dont trade Escobar especially durin the season like some have thought about on here.
rockybull - May 29, 2009
That ball is still coming down.
cmdpsu15 - May 29, 2009

lol really? hmm... didn't know that hahahah
rockybull - May 29, 2009
Son of bitch, Yunel!
That was one of the longest homers I’ve ever seen.
sdp - May 29, 2009
So this Charlie Morton guy...
9 IP, 0 R, 7 H, 1 BB, 7 K
MatM - May 29, 2009
damn. still think he should be in Atl, at least the bullpen
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
Don’t step!
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Oh my god, did you see who opposed him?
JORGE SOSA!!!!!
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Holy shit! Wil Ledezma! Ryan Langerhans!
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Damn when this team scores they score in bunches.
rockybull - May 29, 2009
so maybe we can beat up on their bullpen tonight and win the rest of this series
Bravely going forward - May 29, 2009
Tom Hallion
best called third strike move in the bigs.
What the hell is going on tonight?
royhobbs - May 29, 2009
We’ve already discussed gas and orgies
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
So, another day in the office, i take it
royhobbs - May 29, 2009
yeah, pretty much
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
What’s his move? Im listning on radio
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
He does this huge uppercut like he is Apollo Creed
royhobbs - May 29, 2009
haha thats awesome
points for the Rocky reference
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
K #2 for JJ
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
Remember the Renteria-for-Garland rumors from two years ago?
sdp - May 29, 2009
No. Thank god.
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
…yeeesh
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
surprisingly no.
rockybull - May 29, 2009
Heyward out of the lineup again. Freeman 2/4 with a walk.
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
how is Cody Johnson doin?
rockybull - May 29, 2009
1/5 with a double and a strikeout
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
ahhh ok thx.
rockybull - May 29, 2009
Hubby is optimistic, he’s already got the BRAVES mugs out for tomorrow morning’s coffee.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
Smoltz is coming to Greenville, S.C.
For those of you who live close by…
sdp - May 29, 2009
Know what would be awesome
Jair Jurrjens’s first ever complete game.
royhobbs - May 29, 2009
+1
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
im actually surprised he doesn’t have on already in his career.
rockybull - May 29, 2009
one*
rockybull - May 29, 2009
Dude really loved his deep counts last year
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
No chance, 50 pitches through 3
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Got in late, didn’t realize. That’s a bummer.
royhobbs - May 29, 2009
Gamecast plays ads between innings? So gay
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Gamecast fails hard this year
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
Could you imagine that shit in an office?
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
since when does gamecast play commercials between innings?
Im pretty sure its all dependent on how much game changing you do…
Tim Goad - May 29, 2009
I’ve gotten 2 ads, and have had it open for one full inning.
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
thats not normal…at least not for me…ive watched several innings before.
Tim Goad - May 29, 2009
Nice, every man in the lineup has a hit
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
These Wendy’s commercials want me to avoid the restaurant as opposed to getting a COFFEE! TOFFEE! TWISTED! FROSTY!
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
wendy’s only value is in the Baconator and just your normal chocolate frosty.
Tim Goad - May 29, 2009
Amen.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
I got one of those spicy chicken sandwiches a couple weeks ago and didn’t flinch. Weak sauce
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Most “spicy” items arent spicy anymore.
The Volcano Taco at TB is mildly hot, but ive had so much hot stuff in my life that its nothing.
Tim Goad - May 29, 2009
that thing was way hotter than i expected
Bravely going forward - May 29, 2009
I used to love those… but like you said, not nearly as much kick these days.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
The boy-band one? where they all dress in white and sing?
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
I’m more irritated at the one with all the people getting cut back and forth with the dizzying cuts
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
the guy wearing the sunglasses looks like logan
Bravely going forward - May 29, 2009
Professional quasi sacrifice
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
If Kotch gets the RBI
Then we’ve used up our runs for the weekend
royhobbs - May 29, 2009
well mercifully he didnt
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
and with frenchy up, mac might as well just head back in now
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
i’ve been using the frenchy at bats to flip over to the Metallica concert on fuse.
Lizziebeth - May 29, 2009
Kotchman isn’t getting any pitches to hit in front of the right fielder
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
whoah didn’t catch it til Simpson said somethin but Mac should be at third good catch Simpson.
rockybull - May 29, 2009
Remember the good ole days when we used to put up 8 or 9 runs a game?
Tim Goad - May 29, 2009
lol scored anyway.
rockybull - May 29, 2009
Well, crap
Looks like someone wants to keep his job.
royhobbs - May 29, 2009
wooooooow
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
hell, its the end of the world for sure
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
Frenchy with 2 hits? I bet Demi Moore just gave birth to a child without a soul.
(+1 to anyone who gets that reference)
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
Ghost? (purely a guess)
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
nope, older

+1
unless you had to use wikipedia or something to get it:)
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
nope! I watched a lot of TBS before I got satellite.
Lizziebeth - May 29, 2009
Why doesnt GA deserve No.18?
Tim Goad - May 29, 2009
that number should have been retired with the great Ryan Klesko
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
Klesko was really good, but GA was way better than Klesko at their peak points.
Tim Goad - May 29, 2009
Hogwash.
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
like I give a shit what GA was 10 years ago with Cali-Ana-Orange County.
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
You get the hell out of here.
10-4 - May 29, 2009
this
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
GA is a career .300 hitter with over 1300 RBIs…Klesko isnt close to either.
Tim Goad - May 29, 2009
GA doesn't give speeches in camo
10-4 - May 29, 2009
epic pwn
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
Former rookie of the year runner up wore it
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Over/Under Frenchy bein our Starting RF for the rest of the season.
rockybull - May 29, 2009
thats not an O/U
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
ehhhh maybe you get what i mean though lol.
rockybull - May 29, 2009
but, ill say that as of now, he will be.
as much as i dont like it
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
Teixeira said Girardi is the greatest manager he’s ever played for. Douchebag.
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
now that is truly funny.
rockybull - May 29, 2009
Yea
Even Scocia (sp) would be better
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
Fanshot! Old news
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
man, I cant remember a mic this loud in the dugout … good stuff
Circle - - May 29, 2009
I'm listening to the radio
And they said that Robodouche said “Joe Girardi is the greatest manager I’ve ever played for.”
VictorW - May 29, 2009
HAHA
Simpson, on Girardi: “anyone can manage a team that has that size of a payroll”
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
What would a game be without a Logan K?
MatM - May 29, 2009
out of the ordinary
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
I dunno about you guys, but I’m SOOOOOOOOOO happy Charmin crawled out of his hole to throw around more stupid trade scenarios
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
lol
rockybull - May 29, 2009
He was talking about RAYS stuff too. Why?
BullManUGA - May 29, 2009
Poor flag lady
Look at all the douchey teenagers who are pretending to be interested in her, and just wanting to be on tv.
royhobbs - May 29, 2009
She looks a bit perturbed – but then showing the youngsters how to do it right.
Gotta admire her dedication. Bet she still has her white boots at home from high school.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
DBacks fans are hilarious. Half the time, they have no idea what the fuck is going on
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Is JJ getting squeezed as bad as gameday is making it seem?
MatM - May 29, 2009
Wow Tracy
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
Tracy almost killed a couple of folks there
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
then he killed a baseball, dammit
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
damn
rockybull - May 29, 2009
Well shit
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
Failjens
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Gotta say Jurrjens doesn’t look as great as he usually does.
rockybull - May 29, 2009
Fudge! It’s just the 4th, can’t relax now.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
even JJ is human
longshotsmith - May 29, 2009
I’m going to bed, I have to be up in 8 hours. Later all
bigjoe - May 29, 2009
Nite bigjoe.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
Bye babe.
sdp - May 29, 2009
Lance Cormier with a 1.37 ERA? WTF?
rockybull - May 29, 2009
But noone has come back after being down 10-2….looks at TB and Cleveland boxscore…..ummm…
Tim Goad - May 29, 2009
Im sure we will hang onto this lead and win though.
rockybull - May 29, 2009
Popcorn anyone?
I got a hankering for some…gonna go make it.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
Make me a sandwich.
sdp - May 29, 2009
lol
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
extra butter please
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
Decided on Orville’s “Kettle Corn” – pretty good.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
im gonna snag some “Caramel Turtle Fudge” ice cream…
Tim Goad - May 29, 2009
In other NL East news
the Mutts just shipped C Ramon Castro to the White Sox for P Lance Broadway
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
Should we care?
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
depends on if you follow what the other teams in the NL East do or not
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
I mean i do, I was just wondering if either one of those players will have any big league impact
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
Broadway, more than Castro
royhobbs - May 29, 2009
NIce Yunel!
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
They say Yunel’s blast was 452 feet. Wow.
fandave - May 29, 2009
damn
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
Escobar looks to have 15-20 homer power.
rockybull - May 29, 2009
more. He’s just touching his potential.
fandave - May 29, 2009
I dont know man he isn’t a homer hitter though so i say 20 is his limit but i mean great as long as he keeps his AVG and OBP high and great defense 8-20 homers is fine with me.
rockybull - May 29, 2009
Clint Hurdle gets the axe?
royhobbs - May 29, 2009
in the face
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
yep, he seemed like a good manager.
rockybull - May 29, 2009
Brian McCann is happy.
10-4 - May 29, 2009
Ok Jair, you can’t let up now
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
bullpen gotta get ready.
rockybull - May 29, 2009
I hate the west coast, I need to go to bed
MatM - May 29, 2009
Anderson’s defensive range is truly lousy.
fandave - May 29, 2009
+100
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
you’re way too liberal with your points.
10-4 - May 29, 2009
I agreed strongly. +1 seemed inadequate.
Love your signature btw.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
Yeah
Think of it like a strip club. You can’t just walk in throwing $100’s at everyone every time they show a little skin, or make a comment. You make em work for it, a 1 here, a 5 there. Granted, the 1’s won’t get you noticed very often, sometimes flat-out ignored. By the same token, if you go around constantly giving 100’s, everyone gets used to it, to the point where you try to give a 5, and the
strippercommenter is calling you a cheapskate and showing you the door.10-4 - May 29, 2009
Hmmm, in contemplating the complexity of this reply….I’d have to conclude that we should save our +100s for those things we feel strongly about and toss in the usual +1s when it’s appropriate.
However, if I were to say, own a stripper pole – would it let me post +100 whenever I wanted?
Just askin’.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
lol
Lizziebeth - May 30, 2009
in theory, if you owned the pole, you would only be allowed to receive points.
Sidebar: I was once in a strip club for a bachelor party (Cheetah i believe), sat down at the bar. in a minute, an older guy comes up and tells me i’m in his seat. I was pretty drunk, and my only response was “you didn’t call seatback.” He then went on about how he comes there all the time (because he’s awesome). After jawing back and forth, the bartender takes his side, and i had to move. Thats what happens when you only give +1’s.
10-4 - May 30, 2009
Oh, the Cheetah.
royhobbs - May 30, 2009
I feel I’m at a definite disadvantage in this discussion because I’ve never been employed at or patronized a strip club. Hell, I’ve never even been to a Hooters. I’ve got the anatomy, but the savvy skills of bar seat negotiations are beyond my experience.
Thus, I’m gonna have to post my +1s. +100s in the future as the situations arise and suffer the consequences if need be.
I appreciate your attempts to help clarify and personal knowledge of establishments named after predator felines from Africa, but it may all just be beyond my comprehension.
Now I have a headache LOL
NCChopper - May 30, 2009
if predator felines from Africa give you headaches, you better not think about brightly colored equine.
10-4 - May 30, 2009
As in…..Paint or Appaloosa?
Are their establishments with these type of names?
NCChopper - May 30, 2009
Pink Pony!
10-4 - May 30, 2009
Tattletales.
I miss the Gold Club. Patrick Ewing got busted there.
royhobbs - May 30, 2009
See…..I learn something every time I come here.
NCChopper - May 30, 2009
Yep, the Pink Pony.
Lizziebeth - May 30, 2009
much better
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
Kelly shoulda put a glove on that.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
Yep
HEYJUDE - May 29, 2009
I mean this is typical braves game lol. We usually cant score for Jurrjens and when we finally do he is havin prolly his worst game of the year. damn.
rockybull - May 29, 2009
So this is what happens when we get JJ runs. No wonder they don’t do it.
10-4 - May 29, 2009
Frenchy gotta dive for that.
rockybull - May 29, 2009
With his pathedic offense he has to make up for it with his glove so he gotta dive for those.
rockybull - May 29, 2009
wow made Upton look BADDDDDDD.
rockybull - May 29, 2009
K #3 for JJ
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
Oh man, I’ve got the ARZ feed on the stream.
BullManUGA - May 29, 2009
But they have a promotion there wherein if the DBacks score 6 runs you get THREE free Taco Bell tacos with a large drink purchase. Thats a good promotion.
BullManUGA - May 29, 2009
6 runs in a game?
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
Yes. One game.
BullManUGA - May 29, 2009
Just don’t get the beef – I’m not convinced that meat ever had hooves.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
K #5 for JJ
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
That pitcher is ESPN football guy Mark Schlereth’s son.
BullManUGA - May 29, 2009
Making his MLB debut.
BullManUGA - May 29, 2009
And they are talking up Garrett Anderson like he’s 1927 Babe Ruth.
BullManUGA - May 29, 2009
he’s no Ryan Klesko either.
10-4 - May 29, 2009
+1,000,000
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
We never do well the first time we see a pitcher.
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
wow FUGA
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
And for the past 3 or 4 mins they have had a split screen on his dad and him.
BullManUGA - May 29, 2009
Gotta good game to watch
but my eyes disagree……Good night all…..
HEYJUDE - May 29, 2009
Nite HeyJude :-)
NCChopper - May 29, 2009
i’m sticking this one out. there’s an old friend who wants to say hello.
10-4 - May 29, 2009
Strasburg struck out 15 in 7 innings today and lost. damn
BigG1392 - May 29, 2009
And UGA hung 24 on THE Ohshitty State University today. That game ended on a double play where the runner thought there were 2 outs and didn’t tag up. Not that it would have mattered.
BullManUGA - May 29, 2009
wow, I wanna go to the pool
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
Speaking of water, did you enjoy Charlotte as much as i did?
10-4 - May 29, 2009
there was nothing to do but drink
Rhyno18 - May 29, 2009
Yep
We were in the Upper Terrace Grandstands in Turn 1, and monday there was a guy so drunk he fell going down the stairs, then came back up, while his buddies were throwing bottles at him. He finally made it, but passed out in his seat. We left before we got to see him try to get back down, i’m sure they had to carry him.
10-4 - May 29, 2009
I was shitfaced from the waiting Sunday, then had to drink like hell Monday to fight the hangover. I was really pathetic come Tuesday
Rhyno18 - May 30, 2009
you weren’t the shirtless guy that proposed to my wife on the way out were you?
10-4 - May 30, 2009
Good to have you back Yunel
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
FYF doin’ his thang
10-4 - May 29, 2009
I dont even have the respect left for him to call him by name.
Zeus12888 - May 29, 2009
Norton!
I bet the hairnet is under the helmet.
10-4 - May 29, 2009
Oh noes, Moylan coming in.
BullManUGA - May 29, 2009
Jesus Bobby, Moylan sucks
Zeus12888 - May 30, 2009
I remember Moylan’s debut year. He was actually a 3/4 delivery guy, and sucked. In 2007 they said “go back to what brought you to the dance,” and he ended up posting like a 1.87 ERA. Looks like people are trying to change him again, with the same disastrous results.
royhobbs - May 30, 2009
This dude is batting 10-14 with RISP. Yikes.
BullManUGA - May 30, 2009
FREE TACOS! 10-6.

Great one Lizziebeth.
NCChopper - May 30, 2009

Mike Gonzalez is salivating at the chance to earn a save
royhobbs - May 30, 2009
Chopper to Chipper!
BullManUGA - May 30, 2009
Man, I really miss Skip.
NCChopper - May 30, 2009
Me too. I want to buy that Skip shirt in the Braves Clubhouse Collection but they haven’t joined the rest of us in the 21st century and you can only mail or phone your order in if you can’t get to the Clubhouse Store at the CNN Center.
BullManUGA - May 30, 2009
I used to get their catalogs, I need to call them and ask for a new one.
They used to have a web site for online ordering, but MLB put a stop to that.
NCChopper - May 30, 2009
For the love of God
KEEP MOYLAN OUT OF HIGH LEVERAGE SITUATIONS
YES, THIS FUCKING MEANS FIVE RUN LEADS
JESUS CHRIST BOBBY
get swoll yunel - May 30, 2009
Fixed
KEEP MOYLAN OUT
OF HIGH LEVERAGE SITUATIONSAt least until he’s actually healthy.
royhobbs - May 30, 2009
YES
Dude needs to rehab so fucking bad I can’t even tell you
When a guy is not hitting his previous velocity AND he can locate anything for shit, that screams “let me work this shit out in the minors” NOT “let me be your 7th inning guy no matter what”
Fucking a sometimes the Braves people make no sense to me.
get swoll yunel - May 30, 2009
Kelly’s not feeling good. Looks like he got tagged on the turn.
BullManUGA - May 30, 2009
cheap, late slide by Parra
Rhyno18 - May 30, 2009
And O'Flaherty is still the man
despite his shitty (and unlucky) outing the other day
get swoll yunel - May 30, 2009
He’s been a definite asset to our team. One of the few things to brag about this year.
NCChopper - May 30, 2009
ERIC O! NASTY!
Zeus12888 - May 30, 2009
EOF doing business again, as usual. I approve
Rhyno18 - May 30, 2009
So is this coincidence
or are NL West teams being dicks?
Braves rout Rockies, Corpas throws at Infante’s hand, breaks the fifth metacarpal
Braves were routing the Dbacks, Parra spikes Johnson
Not cool.
royhobbs - May 30, 2009
If it was Chipper
he’d be on the DL tomorrow
…. just kidding. Kind of.
get swoll yunel - May 30, 2009
The Dbags are about to get to face the Stare of Death
10-4 - May 30, 2009
EOF reminds me of a guy that FOX announcers would claim to be a SECRET WEAPON to use against teams like Philadelphia
royhobbs - May 30, 2009
Good to see Rauch still owns our asses even though he’s not with the Nats anymore and has sucked with the snakes.
get swoll yunel - May 30, 2009
Andruw used to own him
royhobbs - May 30, 2009
Yunel is a bad motherfucker
Viva Cuba!
get swoll yunel - May 30, 2009
So there’s 2 ML secondbasemen named Brian Roberts?
10-4 - May 30, 2009
There are two Chris Youngs in the NL West, too
royhobbs - May 30, 2009
I think dude’s name is Ryan.
I thought the same thing though.
get swoll yunel - May 30, 2009
yep, normal guy in Baltimore, and this circus freak in Arizona, who’s actually been more of a utility guy for his career
Rhyno18 - May 30, 2009
correction, the circus freak is “Ryan”, not Brian. my bad
Rhyno18 - May 30, 2009
"Doesn't own him but at least had an option to buy"
Nice, Boog.
+1 for you.
get swoll yunel - May 30, 2009
LOL I love Joe Simpson
Boog: “I wonder who’s doing the broadcast tomorrow on FOX”
Joe: “Probably nobody good”
royhobbs - May 30, 2009
haha
get swoll yunel - May 30, 2009
ROFL.
So true. Those no talent ass clowns are only second to ESPN in terms of terrible-ity.
BullManUGA - May 30, 2009
This comment alone makes staying up to watch this game totally worth it
royhobbs - May 30, 2009
that was good
10-4 - May 30, 2009
Sweeeeet.
Lizziebeth - May 30, 2009
I love Heap so goddamn much.
It is the total inverse of how I feel about FYF.
get swoll yunel - May 30, 2009
I’m LMAO at Joe and Boog right now
Rhyno18 - May 30, 2009
Great hit for Heap!
NCChopper - May 30, 2009
The ARZ guys are talking about Chipper being an awesome hitter.
BullManUGA - May 30, 2009
One of them is Mark Grace. The other I don’t know.
BullManUGA - May 30, 2009
Wasn’t it Mark Grace who called last year’s Braves/Dbacks game last year?
“Francoeur with the 2-0. Hit high. Going back. It’s out of here. The game is over?”

Professional groundout.

Garrett will not hit more than 10 HR’s this year
get swoll yunel - May 30, 2009
I’m not sure he’ll stumble into 3 at this point
Rhyno18 - May 30, 2009
It’s hard to hit homers in the majors when you’re released on May 31st. crosses fingers
BullManUGA - May 30, 2009
The problem is they pay him like 2.5+ million… I just don’t see it happening.
get swoll yunel - May 30, 2009
They’ve flushed that money down the toilet whether he’s on the team or not.
BullManUGA - May 30, 2009
haha
I just found out UGA DESTROYED Ohio St in the regionals.
Those fuckers can’t beat the SEC in anything.
get swoll yunel - May 30, 2009
It was epic. The game ended on a double play. RF catches the ball on a slide and the guy on 2nd didn’t bother to tag up, just ran when the ball was hit.
BullManUGA - May 30, 2009
Look at it this way – cut Francoeur, eat the $3.75MM, and bring in Brandon Jones for the pro-rated league minimum ($475k). At the end of the year when Bjones puts up the average numbers, it looks like $4MM went towards an average right fielder. That’s far better than saying you spent $3.75MM on the worst player in baseball.
royhobbs - May 30, 2009
Preach it, brother.
B Jones has shown 0 power thus far, but goddamn we know the guy can have a good at bat. That’s all I’m asking at this point.
get swoll yunel - May 30, 2009
He may have 0 power, but you’re going to have a hard time admitting that you’d still prefer to have Failcoeur over him.
royhobbs - May 30, 2009
No dude, I am 100% on board.
I’ve been wanting to DFA/assign to the minors Failcouer for quite some time now… and B Jones will get on base, that much I know.
Hell, I was trying to talk myself into David Delluci (recently released) and Matt Murton (wasting away at AAA) over Failcouer.
get swoll yunel - May 30, 2009
Don’t forget, Swagga bothers to make these catches…

Rhyno18 - May 30, 2009
Tom Hallion is my favorite. I swear to Pujols, I want to be an honorary team captain when the umpire crew has Tom Hallion on it.
royhobbs - May 30, 2009
GA would have glided to that and been in the dugout before the umpire could call him out.

i hate that, because its true.

I love the logic
it used to be minimum wage times 100,000. If that were still the case, it would be like $625,000

what prompted that?

What else? People arguing on the internet. Namely their facebook page that they pimp 34 times per half inning
royhobbs - May 30, 2009
And complain when people ask stupid questions.
BullManUGA - May 30, 2009
They were talking about how much Failcouer sucks, and Boog pointed out how he saw a stat (on said site) that said FYF swung at the most first pitches last year (I believe that’s what happened, I’m a little drunk).
Boog is a fucking nerd.

The strike 3, I mean…

Actually a really good curve that froze Schafer

On the radio
They made it sound like Schafer was upset about it.

I decided I didn’t like that watch anymore. Dropped it off at Goodwill earlier today.
Little Lady - May 30, 2009
smart. it seems to attract a little attention.
Lizziebeth - May 30, 2009
You think so?
I don’t think it’s shiny enough.
Little Lady - May 30, 2009
I was contemplating that earlier tonight…
Lizziebeth - May 30, 2009
pretty nasty curve that looked like it caught some plate.
get swoll yunel - May 30, 2009
Still say Schaf needs to get some more ABs in the minors.
Can we have Janderson back, please?
get swoll yunel - May 30, 2009
Gonzo is always money in non-one run games, so I feel OK.
He’ll probably allow a double though.
get swoll yunel - May 30, 2009
uh-oh. I hear gonzo’s stalker screaming.
Lizziebeth - May 30, 2009

Folks have been thinking I’m you a lot lately.
Little Lady - May 30, 2009
i thought it was just the one guy on 3 different threads.
10-4 - May 30, 2009
Someone thought a picture I put up was hers on another website. I guess it’s because our “names” both start with L.
No se.
Little Lady - May 30, 2009
Really? wtf.
I called LT’s attention to it, giving all credit to you, but otherwise I have no knowledge of this misappropriation of credit. Let me know what site and I’ll try to get it fixed. I’d never take credit for someone else’s work. That’s….just fuckling wrong.
Lizziebeth - May 30, 2009
Ok, I was all confused ‘cause I went to Braves Love, since LT was the only person I told about it (but I know how Jo loves Coach), and saw where she credited you for it. But now I just read the comments, and I see where she said she incorrectly originally posted it as mine. If your email is on here, I can send you the original email I sent her clearly giving you all credit for it (and I mean in true journalistic form like I was taught in skool) – I def don’t want you going around thinking I would take credit for something that’s not mine. I got so upset about it I misspelled ’fucking" in my post above!
So sorry that got twisted like that.
Lizziebeth - May 30, 2009
No, no, no!!
I’m not mad at all! I just think it’s funny! She probably had a brainfart and wrote your name instead of mine. Don’t worry about it.

KJ with another fine defensive play. He looks like Clifford Franklin out there.
BullManUGA - May 30, 2009
but UZR (or whatever) says he’s average!
I think ATJ is the biggest reason why I don’t totally trust the defensive metrics.

He already sounds like the manager during this post-game.

He’s absolutely great. Plus, it would be like having an extra hitting coach!

LOL Andruw
Texted Chipper after his 4K game to welcome him to the club. Way to drop ballast on Chipper there.

Can we bring Andruw back? Texas doesn’t have much need for him…
