he’s also catching…. himself

this

is the greatest response I could have hoped to get.

scorby911 - March 9, 2010 reply

Kawakami: Back for more, eh Halladay? Didn’t you learn anything from last year?

….this is funny if you think about KK moving his lips and having the sound come out a half second later like a badly dubbed imported movie.

LOL

Smoltz's Beard - March 9, 2010 reply

I just pantomimed doing this very thing

I really need a life.

Decent enough opening day line-up

Except for the 9 spot.

Of course, I’d like to platoon the lead-off spot, and put Matty up at #1 whenever we’re facing a lefty.

Same here.

Joe Nathan has a torn ligament in his elbow

Ouch. I wouldn’t wanna be a Twins fan today.

is he now all but assured of TJ?

sounds like he’s going to rest it for a few weeks, but it would be a miracle if he didnt have to have surgery on his elbow. I’m no expert and i’m not sure if he would need TJS, but I would sure think so.

Get him off of your fantasy baseball draft lists, guys.

no kidding

that’s why I think its stupid to draft so early. Nathan was easily a top-3 reliever. If you drafted him, you better strike gold with a bullpen sleeper candidate.

J-Freak - March 9, 2010 reply

Soria

He’s really not a sleeper at this point, the word is out that the Royals have this one starter and this one closer you may want to look in on…

J-Freak - March 10, 2010 reply

Or a fantasy Nathan owner

I scared my roommate with a profanity-laced tirade this morning.

J-Freak - March 9, 2010 reply

I don't understand...

…why does Cox keep putting McClouth at leadoff? He doesn’t have the OBP for leadoff. I think Prado would be better at leadoff, plus McClouth has the power to move him around the bases. I’m not a big believer in looking at pure stats, but OBP is one of those that is pretty representative of how good a guy is at getting on base. I realize McClouth has speed, but it does no good if he’s not on the bases…

who's McClouth?

sorry McLouth....ugh I hate typos

haha sorry to bust on you.

I kind of agree with you, but he’s hit by far the best in his career out of the leadoff spot

nah I had it coming

But I will be watching tonight on MLB Network. First game I catch this year. And I ordered the package from directv! Yeah baby! Tough being a Braves fan in Louisiana since TBS doesn’t cover them anymore

yeah, learn how to spell you jakass.

:)

The MLB adjusting to Heyward is like saying 2 can equal 1.

They’re both just impossible.

nick9314 - March 9, 2010 reply

Jason Heyward sed, Yo Peter Gammons, come up for air bro. U've been S'ing my D for like 20 minutes straight now.

Jason Heyward is Pauly D now??

Pretty much. U know he watches his JS.

3. Dobbs 3B
4. Howard 1B
5. Werth RF
6. Francisco LF
7. Schneider CF
8. Bocock 2B

alligatorimpersonator - March 9, 2010 reply

haha I’ve seen that joke how Schneider > McCann because of better D, where did that come from?

Someone dig it up…please?

ATLforlife - March 9, 2010 reply

“no the mets are still better at most positions:

Schnider/Mcccan – tie (schnider has better d)
Kotch / Delgao – 38 hrs from carlos
Castillo/Johnson – castillo can return to a .300 hitter but jonson barely wins
wright/jones – no contest, wright
reyes/who??? – reyes wins, best ss in the majors
tatis/diaz – tatis raked last year
beltran/anderson – beltran is an all-star
francouer/church – church raked before his concusion he will rebond

santana/lowe – santana is the best sp in the majors
perez/hudson – perez has better potential plus hudson was hurt last yr
pelfrey/jurgens – jurgens gives up 2 many hits
maine/vazquez – vazquez wins barely cuz he had a good 07 but maine has more potential
redding/campillo – redding through more innings, campillo would have a 500 era if he starts again ppl will figur ehim out

k-rod had the most svs, he is the best lcoser in baseball, no contest"

IT'S BLACKED OUT IN NASHVILLE!!!!!!

I’ve been waiting all day for this game! HOLY SHIT I’M GONNA FLIP OUT!

Finally

A game I get to watch :). I’m still trying to figure out how and why the Braves snubbed Savannah on the caravan.

CaptainRockSxD - March 9, 2010 via mobile reply

any links? plz...

Its time.

CSS is just dogging the Braves. Finish behind the Mutts? I think not

CaptainRockSxD - March 9, 2010 via mobile reply

I don't have cash for the mlb network... is it free?

Chipper is currying the team, according to Brian Jordan

Anyway — last year I had CSS in HD…this year apparently not…wtf…I have charter in SC…anyone else know what happened to the CSS HD channel for Braves games? It was 810 last year (I think)

My CSS channel isn't working either!

Blasted Comcast!!

BS

At least I have it in standard def…but man is it ugly…i feel like Im watching a crappy telecast of a minor league team

I wish MLBN wasnt blacked out…itd be in HD

happy

just happy to see baseball

MLB network just carrying standard def CSS feed

sucks

maybe the CSS HD channel will show up when the season starts…If I remember, it was advertised as some sort of partnership between Comcast and Charter…hope that didnt go away…

I'm getting the ever-so-lovely...

“No Signal”

I have no clue honestly…I just moved to Savannah a while back so if there is an HD channel. I would love to find it.

CaptainRockSxD - March 9, 2010 via mobile reply

oh, boy….

esadb - March 9, 2010 reply

PLAY BALL!!!

Anyone else thinks this feels like a real game

easy to believe with that lineup

yea

i doubt they bat heyward higher.

I want them to try
Prado
Heyward
Chip
Glaus
McCann
Escobar
McLouth
Diaz

Rollins

Flyout to left

Victorino

Ground out to 2B

Victorino groundout ro Prado

Is there a radio link for the game?

CaptainRockSxD - March 9, 2010 via mobile reply

KK looked sharp,

here in the first.

Early on but KK’s fastball seems to have alot of sink on it. He is looking crisp.

Dobbs

Pop Out

No luck here

Got Directv MLBN is blacked out

1 2 3 inning

for KK

1..2..3

KK looks good so far

except that hanger to Rollins. good thing he couldn’t do anything with it

Halladay looks nervous

he heard about that Heyward kid

FU Halladay

Get it Ken

p.s. Ron Gant….please, tell B Jordan to leave the slang at home.

BJordan speak….

Series = Surries
Carries = Curries
etc.
lol
(facepalm)

Whats with MLBN??

the only feed i got off of it is CSS, not that im complaining just wondering whats going on

MLB Network on DirecTV

however I dont get the game on DTV because MLBN is blacked out and due to DTV’s dispute with Comcast no CSS either

Actually its showing in some areas

Its blacked out if you live in an area that should have CSS

BLAH

DirecTV doesnt carry CSS so no game for me

blackout?!?!

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccc !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

damn you “I<” I<ey!!!

Why is Brian Jordan gushing about how good a 3b Palanco is gonna be? I just dont see his bat carrying that position.

talking about

how “he is one of the hardest outs in the game”

Time to welcome Halladay to the NL east ;)

Home just in time

Glaus,

Highest batting average at 667, nice

Nasty curveball. Nate Ks

dropped 3rd strike

McLouth no hustle

Spring Training?

its the phillies!!!

we show no mercy. Schafer was hustling all over the place last Spring Training

he was fighting for a job

thats because Schafer was trying to make the team

This, he should've been hustling down that line,

might have beat it out.

Any radio feeds to this game?

Local Atlanta even?

radio feeds

1230/1340 AM in atlanta

inertia53 - March 9, 2010 reply

McLouth seems dead lately. I don’t know what’s up

hes worried that JeyHey might win both the starting RF and CF jobs

…alright…this really has to stop

Prado

up 2-1 in the count

Jesus

This is the Braves’ station, but sounds like 2 Phillies fans are calling the game. Come on now..

Scott Coleman - March 9, 2010 via mobile reply

true

Anyone got that video link por favor?

wow. ump’s strikezone for doc already bigger than ken’s.

that’s ok. we eat that shit for breakfast

wait…..you eat shit for breakfast?

I hate how some pitchers ‘get the benefit of the doubt’. It’s either a strike or it’s a ball. simple as that

defensive swing foul down the right side

hopefully they talk with Bobby

welp

Halladay K’s Prado looking on a questionable pitch inside

they’ve spoken with every other manager in these ST games

that looks like the Chip of old right there

Chip

up the middle single

Chip

Single up the middle

Chipper with a single

CHIPPER!!

looking good vs Halladay (who is dealing tonight)

"emburrsed"

wow

those 2009 AAA numbers for Glaus look UGLY

Damn Glaus looks like a freakin monster up there.

6 for his last 6, according to Brian Jordan

Glaus is on fire lately! What is that? 6-6?

What's great to me right now

is how many pitches Halladay has thrown

Glaus Single

Glaus with a single.

nice line drive 1b for Troy Chipper advances

2 on two out

wtf

Glaus looks like Heyward standing next to Hubbard…DWARFS him

Glaus has a beautiful swing. Looks so easy and smooth.

Scott Coleman - March 9, 2010 via mobile reply

Glaus

single Chip on second

nice hit to the right for Glaus

I want to be watching this so bad...

lol Mac what was that

an ugly swing, lol

Man

If Mac hits a HR i’ll go crazy

Brian

you are not Frenchy

?

Ugly swing

reminded me of Frenchy

ahhh

I was thinking Brian Jordan, not Brian McCann

For some reason. I think Heyward needs to bat 5 and McCann 6. Seems more threating to me.

I think he should hit 1-9

in a year maybe

or a few months…I dont want to put pressure on the kid this soon

That’s the thing though. He makes it look so easy that I don’t think he feels any pressure on him.

McCann

K’s

Oof!! That was painful to watch. Mac embarassed by Doc. K to end inning

ugly AB

That's okay

Halladay threw 24 pitches. KK threw 9.

Scott Coleman - March 9, 2010 via mobile reply

THIS

such an upgrade over last year

Crazy what happens when you get rid of FUGA, FYF, Krotchman and a struggling KJ and Schafer.

Scott Coleman - March 9, 2010 via mobile reply

and people think

that we are relying on Chipper

3 Ks for the Braves kick off ateast Chip and Troy got on

Hey all

I see Mac loves his LOBs. How else are we doing?

Any radio/video links yet?

I am going down the stupid radio list

let me know if you find one that works

i’m doing the same thing

http://www.1230thefan2.com/

i love these play-by-play sessions. Too bad I can’t see the game!

At this point I need a pitch by pitch

I am dying for some baseball

I’m going through every radio station I can find but I don’t hear the game…oh well

no luck either

bleh

KK fastball right past Howard

and then he serves the next one to left center

There goes that man again. Howard rips a single up the middle.

Heyward<Howard

Heyward is 20. Heyward is 30.

well damn

Slee - March 9, 2010 reply

UGH

Werth and Howard continue their dominance of Braves pitching

Heyward took an awkward route on that one

but never had a chance at it anyway. Werth opposite field

he wasnt hustling

he isnt trying to make the team lol

i got excited though

thought we were going to see another tool he excels in

Ouch that hurts

RIP Skip

time for Jason Heyward to make Roy Halladay wish he stayed with Toronto.

teh crowd looks like turner field. overrun with phillies fan. lol. jk

get it prado

ladies and gentlemen, stay tuned for your feature presentation

for most of us, the first live at bat of the jay-hay kid

So...

Over/under on Heywards next homer:

500 feet

Scott Coleman - March 9, 2010 via mobile reply

over

cant believe you asked

Go Yunel!!

: )

i saw heyward play in myrtle beach last year
and he went like 4 for 5 with 2 homers it was crazy

BRaves1 - March 9, 2010 reply

wait

so Brian Jordan thinks Escobar will drive in 100 runs

Jesus, Yunel. I could run faster than you

apparently

hustling doesnt count if you’ve already made the team

word

i hope you're kidding

last thing the braves need is to worry about yunel getting hurt digging one out during ST

I am. Its ST, although if i see that during the year, I’ll kill him

Brian Jordan is about to make me slap my puppy

Halladay is trembling

why does esco run to first like andruw??

show some hustle boy!

St, folks

This

Let’s not pull any hammys on March 9th, boys.

Scott Coleman - March 9, 2010 via mobile reply

Heyward

3-1

Ryan Howard was scared of Heyward.

Actually it appears it was rollins

Heyward

Infield single cause he HUSTLED!!!

well

error on Rollins

he should be hustling

he doesnt have a job

Its his!

Oh please

That’s a hit.

Scott Coleman - March 9, 2010 via mobile reply

That was such a hit.

Just as they announced it was an error, they showed the replay showing that his foot was on first as Howard was muffing the throw.

Jay-Hey!!!

That is how you run down the line

take notes yunel

and Nate, lol

Give him a single, he would’ve been safe anyways

lmao

Did they just boo Melky

phillies fans

dont like him

Am I the only one who is ok with hot dogging it during ST??

Its ST — it doesnt count folks…

so

i guess we keep it minimal till opening day?

i disagree

yes

or at least wait until we’re close to opening day. The guys who dont have jobs should be killing it…but McLouth and Yunel need to take it easy.

If they hit a double or single — yeah, run hard. But a routine play to SS? Take it easy — these games DONT count.

Escobars hit was barely caught by Rollins not just a routine play to SS

Nate's wasn't a routine play to SS, had he hustled he might could have beat it out.

..for what?

He could also have pulled a hamstring…

Maybe in practice, but Never during a game, imo

ST = practice

The games dont count!

This should be funny. KK facing halladay.

KK> Halladay (better d)

+.75

Dude, he’s the dragon slayer.

KK

pop out to LF

shallow left

If he destroyed Halladay now, the story would be boring..

Anyone know if there’s a keyboard command for the pi symbol?

mac or pc?

pc

maybe this

Simplest way of doin this on MS Word is type “220f” and then Alt X.. this will insert Pi symbol on your screen. Hope this helped …..

or this

π

∏

meh, close enough.

Not a big fan of the name

So KK only out duels the greats, he doesn’t do well against weaker opponents

anywhere the Braves play this year, there’s going to be a “Bobby Cox cam”

I can dig it. viva la bobby.

eh

Im starting to like the idea of Heyward ahead of Escobar

that to me is something we will prob see all season if he is batting 7th. Stranded

bat him 2nd

he might score 150 runs

i said that

but ya know. too much pressure

other way around, Yunel gets stranded

We cool and all drum but......

No

I'd rather anybody stranded except Heyward

? What difference does it make?

No real difference

I’d just prefer Heyward more in the meat of the line-up

Heyward with a rocket arm on a normal throw in. I like this

sign of a fantastic baseball mind. Mind and an arm is scary

Heyward = Cannon

did anyone elses thefan2 feed just go out?

I believe

They are supposed to do that. It’s not supposed to broadcast for free over the internet. They may have just noticed…

I meant into the shiFt.

Howard grounds right into shift

perfect! 3 outs

I love how Howard hits into the shift

what else what he do?

hit away from it

like his last AB

Or just knock it over the wall. He seems to do that alot to us.

thanks for bringing down the mood

hey man

its the truth. we still like to pitch to him

Sorry for being such a Buzz Killington.

Wait

so Heyward is taller than Howard? who woulda thunk it

yeah, he had him by some inches at 1st base earlier

Heyward = 6’6
Howard = 6’4

JOHAN SANTANA got rocked today..

Since he’s the only pitcher the Mets have, it’s probably safe to count them out

who did they play

’Stros

One bad outing in spring training doesn't really mean all that much though.

Erin6 - March 9, 2010 reply

If you asked a Met’s fan, they’d say Jenrry Mejia > Johan.

Today is just a great day for ST pitchers

Chapman was yesterday I thought

really?

As soon as I download Silverlight, the radio feed goes down. WTF!!

Chipper GO to 2nd.. inning over

love that he’s sporting the cross around his neck though

Halladay is dealing

now that he's out of Toronto

he should

w00t!

Wagner in

b-wags in to pitch, top of the 4th

Billy Wagner in the game now

and my audio is going out :(

I wish the Braves had a ticket deal like the O’s ran last year…they teamed with a certain gas station. If you filled up a certain number of times, you got a free ticket…very nice — you have to get gas anyway…

The Braves give you a free ticket on your birthday,

better than nothing at all.

Wow...

didnt know that…that’s actually pretty sweet. Do you have to sign up somewhere?

Sit your ass down Werth.

Wags Ks Werth

Wager

that Wagner has come in throwing strikes

I was so pumped for the game today that I cleared my schedule for 3-4 hours, of course, I didn’t realize until I tried to tune in that it wasn’t another day game.

Glaus for President

Vote for ~~Pedro~~ Glaus

i'd vote no

considering presidents usually don’t have time to, you know, be braves first basemen

maybe a brave RF can?

Mac 2B, Glaus to 3rd

Mac

double

heap with a double

McCann

Double. Glaus held at 3rd

Troy scores

Nope.

Held up.

Yea didnt notice

multi tasking sucks cant concentrate on the game

BMac doubles, Glaus to 3rd

McCann double, second and third...

…now c’mon, walk Yunel ;)

Ball one…

Oh well, RBI groundout...

…no bases loaded situation :(

Brian hits a double Troy held at 3rd

Whew

that was opposite field to

Watch Yunel find a way to GIDP lol

he tried his best

did he just call him Sneaker?

come on BJ! I used to like you

Snitker, the 3rd base coach

yeah, Jordan called him sneaker I'm pretty sure

Wonder if

Escobar can hit into a DP somehow. He likes to do that when we have less than 2 outs

Troy scores on a FC,Yunel out mac at 2nd

Esco, rbi

Wow

Almost a DP

1-2 BRAVES DOWN

Well, we scored…

Sweet!!

They changed the call to a single on Heyward.

Heyward up

We signed a power hitter not Jeff Francoeur!

I want to see some power from Glaus but i ‘m glad he’s hitting though.

Singles better than strikeouts

or weak grounders to short

or

unassisted triple plays

Heyward swing and misses at the first 2 pitches

crazy

that their calling Heyward “Speedy Jason”

1-2, 1 out, McCann on 2nd

2-2

2-2 count, lays off a close inside fastball

whew!

That was strike three and Heyward got the call ;)

sure was

3-2 count, pitch low

3-2

ANOTHER WALK! 6th of the spring

Another 7+ pitch...

…plate appearance. Excellent.

walk for Heyward

I like how Heyward takes the anti-Frenchy approach

Its like he is waiting for a pitch he wants, instead of one at the eyballs

And a walk

Heyward with a walk

Heyward

walks

Heyward

Walks. BOOO hit something

you knwo

im so anxious to see him hit something that it does kinda make me aggravated lol

wow works a walk after being down 1-2

WALK.. fastball low and outside

Melk man up

Can I ask something

whats with the annoying “Why did Heyward fall so far”? Pujols was drafted 403rd

and how many times did we hear in the 90s how Piazza was the last player selected? The guy’s a HOFer.

Melky safe

I absolutely love watching the Kid work the count.

CaptainRockSxD - March 9, 2010 via mobile reply

whoa off the glove/body of phils 3B no play made all are safe

Scott Coleman - March 9, 2010 via mobile reply

Bases loaded

Melk reaches.. bases loaded

Hinkse is a bulldog

Hinske

is such a big dude its crazy

Hinske up.. bases loaded.. passed ball, nobody advances

Heap wanted to keep the Gr—- fuck. I can’t even say it

wild pitch they stayed, i thought coulda made it but w/e its spring training

nice looooong blooper

Eric hits a double 2 run down the RF line

Hinske

2 RBI Double

RBI 2B. 3-2 Braves. I like HInske

Hinske bloop Double... 2 runs score

hinske

2b 3-2 Braves

3-2 lead

I guess we have our pinch hitter

The Anti Norton

The rake

He had one good year

Err part of a year

The Anti Norton Virus

Let’s hope all of our bench catches it!

Cooper'sTown - March 9, 2010 reply

yahoooo

When did Heyward cross home plate? He was too fast for the camera

come on Nate

put the bat on the ball

this

McLouth is up..

I have a feeling

this is going to be the story of Halladay.

He pitches great but doesnt finish the game and Madson and Lidge blow the game.

if thats the case WHOOOOOHUUUUU

woah

are you my twin? (see my post below)

i have a feeling

charlie manuel is going to let halladay throw complete games against the braves, the way the bullpen blows games when he’s starting

looks like SAC Fly to center 4-2 Braves

RBI flyout for Nate. 4-2 Bravos

Sac Fly

from McLouth

Nate sac fly

McCrap SAC Fly to center

Its McLrap. Learn to spell.

I LOL’d

Whats the word on Schafer?

Wrist not healed

dont expect to see him with the big club till 2011

dang, he desperately needs AB's

should get a bunch in AAA after he gets healed up

he needs to stay in AAA until at least September.

actually

he took BP today and should be ready for AAA at the start of the season

Prado up, Hinske at 3rd

Hinkse also advanced

Lets go Marteeny Weeeny!

Full Count, Prado

walk Prado good eye

Prado walks

Prado.. WALK

Nice job Odarp. Gets a walk. Chipper up 1st and 3rd

Nice at bat!

Jason Heyward would be proud.

Chipper to the plate

ah

at least he put a nice swing on the ball.

yep, a diving catch robbed him.

Chipper up.. Prado on 1st, Hinske on 3rd, 2 Outs

Chipper up 1-0 count

are we sure bobby didnt fire tp?
i am lovin the walks tho

dude your screenname grossly resembles...

doc halladay. just sayin’…

sliding catch in LF thats the inning

Chip

nice hit but caught

Chipper flair to LF.. Francisco catches it, ends the inning

that looked better than 7-U will reflect

Harold Reynolds actually got a lot smarter about baseball since he left BSPN

I really like watching MLBN.

he wasnt bad on ESPN either

He was the best former player they had/have, imo

I like the Diamond Demo, but he regularly embarrasses himself in my opinion

EOF in, Thurston at 3rd

Infante at 2nd, Eric O'Flat in to pitch

EOF in to pitch, Infante in at 3rd

this is nice

get to see all the nice RP arms all we need is saito

Bocock singles

If Bocock actually turns out to be good...

he might warrant a nickname that is just way too easy. Any takers?

"Bocock"

lol

"Blowcock" seems to be the most obvious

HAHA!

they are hitting him hard

Thats what she said.
:)

haha nice

that's what she said?

twss

Nate makes the catch on a fly ball.

Rollins flys out to nate.

McLouth

getting some work out there in CF

please stop saying walla walla

which is in Washington by the way

Just wanted to say that it's great to see the Braves on TV again...

This is the first game I’ve been able to watch in ST. Awesome.

Also...

Doesn’t Mike Morgan sound exactly like Bob Rathbun?

So that’s his name…

As long as it's not Joe Morgan, I think we should all count our blessings

Or Tim McCarver, but yes.

I think Buck has to be up there, especially because his dad was so good

Yeah, he's bad...

Though he doesn’t bother me as much as the other two.

When those 2 get together

i start to bleed from the ears

wait i'm thinking of Jon whatever his name is...his partner

Shane Victorino is a bitchhhhh

Flying Hawaiian is the worst nickname IMO

i disagree...

Any of those Letter-Rod names are worse (A-Rod, K-Rod, F-Rod, etc.)

Those bother me

but for some reason I like I-Rod

Maybe you just like names that make you think of phalluses? Do you also like “Big Unit”?

haha. I happen to like “Big Unit”- One of those names that is so crazy that I just have to like it

singles

Ick

I hope Omar’s okay…

Agh, what happened?

Yeah, got up a little slow.

Nice play by Infante

Infante saves Thurston

and almost gets hurt in the process

what a play by INfante!!! whoa slide into second same time Victorino did gets up with a little limp hope he's good

Lmao

Lets just close our eyes and pretend that that didnt happen.

And Omar looks PISSED

Crap

I hope Infante is ok

CaptainRockSxD - March 9, 2010 via mobile reply

Thurston’s gonna kill Infante

more like the opposite

i dont think Infante was expecting that.

Thurston probably should have gone to first on that..

you’re absolutely right, Infante looked pissed

What the hell was Thurston doing there?

Maybe he thought there was just one out? I don’t know tbh

Maybe he needs to play 2B only…

in Gwinnett.

I walked upstairs, what happened?

I asked, nobody’s telling.

scroll up

Maybe its because you asked.
/sarcasm

oh, you know it!

Runners on 1st and 2nd, 2 outs. Easy grounder to Thurston at 3rd and he threw to 2B. Infante wasn’t really covering and had to dive into 2B to catch the ball and make the force play. Omar looked pissed and it looked like he got a little banged up.

Thurston should’ve just gone to 1B.

thanks!

taking out a competitor so he can get the spot on the bench?

That doesn't look good for Infante

bravesforever16 - March 9, 2010 reply

Baez still plays baseball?!?

Hey, it's Baez...

Otherwise known as the guy Ruben Amaro would rather have than Cliff Lee.

…there was something about the way mike morgan said glaus was ‘smokin hot’….

Yeah, that made me uncomfortable

My friend on Facebook just messaged me about that. hahah

I understand why :)

should've said "no homo" right after just to be clear

I just LOLed

looks like

the guys are getting more innings in the field. starting to feel more like real baseball

8 for 8 baby

CBPoY!

Wow.

You’ve got to be kidding me about Glaus. He is so on fire, he is carbon now.

lol

can’t believe i got this joke

lol

award6 - March 9, 2010 reply

Stop Drop and Roll Troy Glaus you are on fire

CaptainRockSxD - March 9, 2010 via mobile reply

I like that Glaus is hitting

but can we get something other than singles out of our cleanup hitter?

i have a feeling his power will come back

No glasses for BMac??

Is this new?

he got lasik again

really?

I totally missed that…thanks. I just hope he’s g2g for the entire season.

He got his eyes redone in the off-season. Reports are that they’re good now.

carpengui - March 9, 2010 reply

McCann up, Glaus on 1st, 0 Outs

Troy Gluas is so hot, someone asked him: “My Jason, aren’t you looking pale today”

Ha... Great minds.

the only thing that worries me about Glaus' streak

is that he seems to be smacking fastballs

Are we 100% sure that Troy Glaus isn’t just Jason Heyward in disguise?

anyone else

know who else is pitching tonight?

I hope Minor and/or Kimbrel.

for the Braves who's left isnt much (aka no big name prospects or w/e)

i know Chavez

who else is after that?

oh god

maybe I’ll go make some dinner next inning…

Chavez, Acosta, Resop, Abreu… let’s get some runs!!!

gondeee - March 9, 2010 reply

hmm

i kinda wanna see abreu

so do the rest of the Phillies hitters.

Lets go Esco!

Listening to Brian Jordan

Brings my IQ down at least 50 points. JESUS!

gondeee - March 9, 2010 reply

haha

I miss Joe and Boog.

All I can say is simply

+1

Yeah...

I like Brian, but he doesn’t really add any insight.

“Scoring runs early in the game usually leads to more wins.” – Joe Morgan

thats too much like the Bush quote

“Most imports are from outside the country”

Do they drink the same water?

god that man was dumb

I know Obama isn’t doing all too hot right now, but at least he can put a simple sentence together without hurting your head.

too bad Brian Jordan can’t

no kidding

“The key to winning in the game of football is to score more points than the other team.” – John Madden

Everybody get ready to sacrifice a live chicken for Jobu and Jason Heyward

Yunel with a full count

5-4-3 ewwww

Yunel does his job, GIDP

"The Yunel Special"

DP for Esco

Jeez Escobar

...typical

imagine that

esco GIDP

I mean

must he always hit it on the ground

Heyward

Hard hit flyout to LF

Heyward flys out.

Heyward reaches for one and flies out to LF

Heyward. no patience. what is this!?

Just proving he’s mortal I guess.

Well that wasn't too good

I guess he isnt

making the team now

Chip on the mic

Famous Southern Drawl

Chipper just used the word “barrelled” to describe hitting the ball… Interesting.

Ortegano in

should be interesting…

Why

cant we hire Chippers dad as hitting coach?

Heyward's already taken the job!

“Jason Heward”
Jesus

Hicks boots one.

http://blogs.ajc.com/atlanta-braves-blog/2010/03/09/chipper-on-heyward-braves-need-him-from-day-1/?cxntfid=blogs_atlanta_braves_blog

Chipper talking about Heyward making the team

Ortegano

pitching

So who wins the beard/hair battle… 2010 Jayson Werth or 2004 Johnny Damon?

Terrible range by Gregor there, but a good throw

dying quail falls in RF, Howard goes 1st to 3rd

Not Good 2 runs scored.

Howard , Werth scored.

havent been paying attention

who is at third?

thurston

thanks

now that I think about it, i did hear that

Another base hit, another run.

Wow...

Not going well for Ortegano.

Ortegano getting shelled

5-4 Phils

And Chavez coming up, ugh

Put

Jason in to pitch

I bet he could do better,

he was a great pitcher in HS, I hear.

Ortegano getting killed out there

No, I’m sorry. The Mets don’t have the talent to compete for the NL East crown

can someone sneak into the booth

and disconnect Brian Jordan’s microphone??

Yes, please do.....

Finally one out.

Is the game over or what?

so wait

we have a choice between Chip and Brian Jordan? god we can’t win

I guess we're destined to win many games this year...

The karmic inbalance would be too much otherwise.

No post for about 20 mins what’s up?

I think its cause all the regulars are out and our AAA pitchers are pitching now.

come on boys talk to each other out there

9th Philly to the plate this inning

Thurston is trying to make the team by killing all the other IFs

+1

Runner on first and second, 2 outs.

Now basesloaded.

Pinch-hitting for Howard… That doesn’t happen often.

but it worked, of course

whoops, wasn't listening

discount all that

take out Ortegano. You’re just killing his confidence at this point

Yep, me too now, ugh

Hit scores 2 , 7-4

now i know

why i have never heard of this southpaw ortegano

Brian Schneider

is obviously better then Brian McCann

Howard up now.

Finally. Who’s due up?

melkman / LF
infante / 2B
mclouth / CF

damn. I want to see freddie

he’s due up 5th

btdubs

where is the quote on your signature from?

Its from Will Ohman’s Harry Carary impersonation from a game in 07(?).
Video

ROFLCOPTER

i’m speechless.

haha. The Tex one is gold, I just like Yunel a lot

Finally the inning is over, geez.

2 quick outs.

Nate makes the 3rd out.

ouch

he’s 1 for 13 now

Fuck. Its Manny

oh well

we wont win this one Manny is in

He's actually looked pretty good this Spring,

believe it or not.

Ok I see why nobody was posting

We’re losing!

touché

In a word Ortegano.

Gets a K for the second out.

acosta...

looks like he picked up a new pitch. that was nasty.

ryan c - March 9, 2010 reply

It always seems like Acosta is a guy who has issues with pressure situations, he’s got the stuff, he needs to figure out how to put it all together.

Lennox - March 9, 2010 reply

Yeah, I agree.

I never thought I'd do this

but
Nice 123 for Manny

Nice,

I thought for a minute NCChopper was back.

haha

Another K, to end the Inning.

Too bad it was foul, Thurston was all over that pitch

Verlander is hilarious in those 2K10 ads.

Lennox - March 9, 2010 reply

Freeman up

down 0-2

He too pwnd that ball

FF, swinging at balls in the dirt. for an out.

I just yawned, then I realized why

End of 7, another 123 inning.

Chavez in.

Chavez in...

…let’s see if he can tone it down and be effective.

I wish.

Gives up a single.

2 out .

forceout at second ends the inning. nice play by hicks

Hicks showed some nice range on that play

and goes down swinging

that right there sums up the story of Hicks

3 outs

Mike Minor in to pitch

yay. and a nice play after the mistake by Gregor

i know.. lol

Mike Minor fastball @ 93 MPH

I didn't know he could throw that fast

for Minor. I’m impressed

MM 1,2,3 inning

carpenter still on to pitch 1 out

CoJo.. suddenly I’m very interested again

crap 2 outs

Wow. That was crushed. I thought it was gone

CoJo creamed that..

nice oppo shot

Damn. Off the end of the bat, opposite field, bounces off the top of the wall.

Oddly...

The second Cody hit that he thought it was a routine pop-up and it sails to the LF wall… That’s strength

He's got serious strength...

…he just needs to make contact.

Freeman is up next.. we need Thurston to reach

A fan from Ocala hauls in the souvenir

I miss you Skip!

+ a shit ton

oh well

guess not. See everyone later

That's it. Final 7-4

I'm out!

On the bright side, the only poor performances tonight were by people not expected to make the club anyways. All our regulars except Nate and Chip have been performing with excellence up to this point.
