Open Thread 4/14: Braves at Padres #2

Tommy Hanson is dealing. And our offense is...well, the same as it's been since Opening Day.

1-0 Padres. Top of the 6th.

Time to score some runs!

Please?

Seriously. It’s hard to win with no run support.

more offense

new thread = success

haha i just opened this

it comes true!

Chip just jinxed us. goddammit

"Gotta score more than 1, right"?

Uh… No, Chip.

He’s on fire right?

Chip = EPIC FAIL

Chip you bastard

Surely the Braves are going to score more than 1 against Clayton Richard, what time are you effing watching

This should be a ritual – everytime we are playing badly, start a new thread!

no

it would break TC’s servers

??? Pretty sure overloading the threads are what slows servers down.

You mean these?

that would be a lot of threads

at least this early in the season

Monday would've had

643 threads

It would have been just you loading the threads.

3-0 to Matty D

Walk!?

And... another player swings at ball 4!!!

according to mlb’s gamecast, all of the ones he swung at were in the zone.

Please score some runs!

How about Chris Resop tonight? 6 IP 1 BB 10 K

whoa

What?!?!? I have literally never been more surprised by a pitching line

Are you sure

that you didn’t switch the K and BB columns?

No lol 10Ks and 1 walk

Did Durham forget to bring bats?

Wow

only one walk, most impressive stat for him

FISTED!

I dont even care about the out at this point.

First out + "Fisted down the right field line."

Chip – fisted number?

just 1 so far :(

I thought it was two…

You guys

Are gross. Nobody talked about fisting this much in prior years.

including Chip

He’s been a fisting machine this year

...sigh

a 3-0 count turns into an out…

Matty being too aggressive there

Have we had a walk yet tonight???

they dont help you score runs

No OBP on the scoreboard, after all
nope

and Richard walks nearly 5 per 9 innings.

We need to step out more – slow this guy down.

FINALLY. PRADO

Double for Prado

Our offense is offensive….We’re making another crap pitcher look like Cy Young

he's not crap

He’s not great, but he’s got potential

This dude is a Randy Wolf clone.

Well

that’s pretty good, then.

He’s not Scottish though.

Marteeeen!

LETS GO!

PRADO IS RAKING. How many in a row?
we need more prados

plus a few Macs and Heywards. Only guys that are hitting at the moment.

Are they calling that a clean double?

yep
At this point

I’ll take it.

Support the effort to clone Prado today.

I have a $5 for you.

HR for HERO…I’m calling it.

Can you imagine

how bad our Offense would be right now without Prado?

we’d have KJ and been unstoppable

If we score here...

we’re gonna need a new thread.

C’mon Chipper….we need another one of those come from behind two-run homers.

I need the fantasy win for Hanson

I was wondering how long it would be...

Someone posted a Trade for Jose Guillen fanpost.

ugh

I’d rather have Frenchy back

please no

Just what we need another old hitter that does not hit for power, average, or walk

shut the fuck up…really?

No shit.

both of you watch your fucking mouths right now.

I heard

Some guy named Dye is available

And with as many teams that are out there, you have to ask yourself “why?”

Defense.

BS ump

That was ball 4

Wow

outside, but called a strike

2 on for BMAC!

We finally got that walk!

Figures that it’s Chipper…

2 runners on? wtf is going on…head…exploding…bleh

setting us up

for the Vidro

We can get 'em on

Save the explosion for when we get ’em across the plate rather than leaving them outhere.

Come on Heap!!!!
I have you as my P2C!

AAAAAHHHHH

the ump is screwing us

Woooo

come on BMac.

For the love of Heyward, bring Marteeen in.

McCann HR

I feel it

lots of feelings latetly

They’re usually wrong, too.

The memories

At least four guys proclaimed homosexuality towards Brian McCann last season.

I feel a DP

TWSS

a little late, but i’m reading the recap and that one was obvious!

A Signs quote?

really?

reply fail, this was supposed to be down there and this was supposed to say

That’s what she said. DOH.

0-2 count again

Guys are swining waaay too much

MCCANN DOUBLE!!! 2-1 BRAVES

double for Mac

SWEET 2-1 Braves

HEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here it comes......

That’s why Mac is a fucking All-Star.

B MACCC!!!!

RUNNS!!!

2-run double for McCann.

Hells yeah

BOOM! RUNS! WOOOOOOOOO!

I'm, uh

So gay for Brian McCann. Again

Me too

But not at the same time as you. Taking turns.

Funny, because I am watching Modern Family right now…

where are you watching it? It’s like 10:30 here.

DVR…

Ahh. Damn new technology.

We whipper-snappers have all of our doo-hickies and fancy cassette players.

Beta

Don’t fuck with it

guh

Julie Bowen . . . MILF

Yes, yes, oh god yes!

I’d PIIHB.

Chip may beat you to him…

Love me some Heap!

nice

So THAT’s what RBI’s look like!

I havent seen one of those in weeks.

all you people that said a DP was coming can go suck it, DX style

If you aint down with that, then we’ve got 2 words for ya!

Mac

willed “fisted” that one to the wall

=O

a hit with RISP!!!!

Dear GOD!!!!Runs…..Glorious RUNS!!!!

Ok Troy! plant one in the seats

THIS

is the spot for Glaus to hit his first HR.

eventually

we cant be wrong

Glaus always swings like he's gonna mash one

and always misses it.

+1. He’s been looking like he’s just off since Opening Day.

troy

just missed two sweet ones

Glaus quote for the day: I can’t hit for power anymore…

other glaus qoute for the day: "i can't hit anymore"
last glaus quote of the day: "my ass hurts."
Got that one

Says Glaus

Tory Glaus: Maybe that will suffice for now!

78 comments

since BMac’s double. LOL. We were desperate.

It's only two runs, but i guess it's like a homeless man eating...
LOL

Chip makes a point to talk abotu rubbing up baseballs . . . oh lordy

Well

you have to take a break from fisting every now and then.

Glaus single!!! McCann can’t score though

SINGLE SINGLE SINGLE SINGLE!

Glaus gets a single….McCann to third

Glaus single to center.

base hit Glaus Man

RAWR

Glaus rips one!

Another hit with RISP! No RBI, but still

DID YOU SEE THAT HIT FROM GLAUS!!!?

Glaus! He’s waking up!

Holy Crap!

Glaus singled

Nice rip Troy!! He hit it too hard though…but still, it’s nice to see.

Have we had a sac fly yet this year?

Singles power baby!

Hey, I just realized something…Chipper scored from first???

must be feeling better, that is a good sign

Yeah

but that ball was hit to the deepest part of any park anywhere

haha

I’m sure a line-up change is on the way so Chip can nurse the strained hip he just suffered

big park, but yeah definitely a good thing

There was a gurney waiting near the on-deck circle.

Don’t do it Yunel

Who was it who said

that the running the bases thing would tire Richard out? +1 to that guy/gal

i think that was me

but i won’t take any credit for it

Seems we both said it.

great minds

think alike

Twas I. BWAHAHAH!

“The night is over for Clayton Richards – don’t know if him running the bases affected him….”

How many games did it take before FUGA HR'd?

I remember it was in Arizona, but I can’t remember how many games it actually took

I don’t recall anyone on the team named FUGA…

i was at that game!

and I literally had to take a moment in the nearest men’s restroom after he hit it. I think it was first week of June or so.

May 31 was his first

He just had to get comfortable
May 31st

LOL

Anyone mad at Melky should just take a deep breath

and remember FUGA.

Okay

Someone here has to agree to buy one of those Heyward shirts if Glaus can HR before May 31st this year

What shirts are you talking about?

These

Oh sweet Pujols…

By clicking the link

You’re in

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

DAMN YOU! You didn’t tell me that before.

BTW, that was a classic critique!

Irony

I ordered one

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

I said I would

If the Braves could come back on the Cubs, and then they did. I’m a man of my word

Admirable, sir. I don’t think I would have ever followed through on that sort of promise – especially for THAT shirt.

I talked the guy down

To knock off teh shipping. Ain’t no way I’m playing the full price

I don’t blame you.

YAY A RIGHT HANDER

IM FEELIN A HEYWARD GRAND SLAM

why would they bring in a RH to face Heyward? haha, this could get ugly

that is what I am wondering

seems retarded

doh, forgot about Yunel

Maybe

Righty to Yunel
Lefty to Heyward

Heyward is gonna hit a big fly tonight….

1 out, Heap on 3rd

Now, let’s get him in please.

Troy Glaus quote of the day

“I told Justin I would get a hit for him in my next at-bat, so he wouldn’t look like a retard”

You need to tell the other guys

that they’re making you look retarded

lol. I won’t tell Prado, but Melky, Nate and Glaus need to listen!

get Melky on the phone first thing tomorrow.

Who wants to see McCann steal home? LOL

as long as it's successful
FAILURE

at least it was not a vidro, but Mac out at home

uh well. it’s better than a Vidro?

Damn't!

Mac ran right into that and was out by ten miles.

But if not

they would have gotten the double play and ended the inning. Going home stopped the dp.

He should’ve at least tackled the catcher – run at him full speed.

Heyward against a righty...

oh yes. oh yes. oh yes.

Why can’t we ever situational hit with a man on 3rd with less than 2 outs?

Beats me...

I hear other teams are able to do it.

mccann

is so unselfish, he did that to avoid the DP and allow heyward to hit a 3-run HR

Let’s go JAY HEY!

Can a catcher not plow another catcher or something?

What was with that play?

outs at home are the worst.

Keeping the righty in against Heyward

make him pay

Lets go Heyward!

JAY HEY COMES THROUGH!

Base hit Heyward

Glaus rumbles home
3-1 ATL

YEAHHHH

MVP! MVP! MVP!

Heyward quote for the day: I’m not God…..yet.

HOW THE FUCK DID GLAUS SCORE, OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

justin told him that his slowness was

making justin look retarded

justin, you genius!

My name is Matt Foley, and I am a motivational speaker!

Jay Hey!!!!

1B, RBI, E2!!!

MCCANN LOOKS LIKE A GENIUS
YeaHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
SOOO GOOOD

heyward is a freak

Not going to lie

Whatever soundtrack was playing in the background of “Jungle Fever,” I’m hearing it right now

Woohoo!

it worked. Thats why I’m on my way out again.
But, I need some help. I’m in dire need of holds in my fantasy league, who should i pickup
LaTroy Hawkins
Chad Durbin
Danys Baez
Ryan Perry

Not Durbin

I’m not sure how he has 3 already this year, but he’s supposed to be the Phils version of Jo-Jo. Long relief innings eater

none

Those guys all suck hard.

so what do I do? I’m screwed for holds and can’t really just give up a category

Fernado Rodney?

Interim closer now

Fuentes went down

I actually have him on my bench, but am too afraid of his ERA to start him, especially with K-Rod already starting

Jepsen

is he LA’s setup man?

I think so

He got the hold today after Shields loaded the bases on 0 outs

I guess i’ll add him to my growing watch list

Get Baez

So I can laugh at you whenever he fucks up

insert Jewish racist joke that I can’t think of

Hmm

“protect jon stewart, he’s the most important jew” ?

haha, more like the only one

Family Guy

NO other show makes as many jewish jokes

South Park has its share.

Hello?

South Park?

Haven't really watched SP

Since . .. 11th grade

some of the newer eps have been pretty solid

The FB one was classic…I am just now watching tonight’s – about Tom Cruise being a fudge packer.

The WoW one was legit too.

WoW was is arguably the best ever, especially for nerds like me who used to play. FB one was hilarious too.

“My God, they are Jew-bots. Flame on”

All we need is Mac, Heyward, and Prado. Everybody else are donkeys right now.

chipper?

Chip is a future Hall of Fame guy so when I talk about other guys he will always be exempt.

ROFL

They’re intentionally walking Melky!?

BUAHAHAH

Intentionally Walkking Melky, he is easier to get out than Hanson

I’m going to die laughing if Hanson laces a single through a gap in the infield defense.

Sorry for the stacked graphics – I couldn’t choose. :-D

you keep postin until your fingers fall off. it means we’re doing good.

But…that would make me have to type with my fists.
Chip would be attracted to me and I’m just not prepared for that.

Your Hubby should fight Chip. That way we would not have to hear him anymore.

They’re intentionally walking Melky. LOL.

hahah

they’re walking Melky. funny. Though Hanson is worse even than the way Melky has been playing

at least

Hanson is putting it into play tonight

Heyward

on pace for 175 RBI’s or so this year.

And Glaus is probably on pace for 225 LOB’s.

come on tommy

draw that bases loaded walk

Weird slide by Glaus… his feet and legs were airborne… he tagged the plate with his rear end. Another half second and he coulda been tagged out.

He was running so fast

he was floating

It's times like this

that I wish Tommy weren’t a legendarily bad hitter

ha, i know right?

I was hoping for some bullshit blood like their hitter got on Monday

Tommy is

still sitting on 1 career hit. Might not ever get #2

WALK, Tommy. WALK
I'd just like to point out

it appears that switching threads did actually succeed!!!

Inning over...but we scored!
Man

Scoring runs sure helps the spirits, I dont drink as many

Justin,

Melky only saw 4 pitches that AB. Thoughts?

not being patient enough

should have swung at two to make sure he had to go full count to walk him

Luke Gregerson

ERA – 13.5…me likey

Happy Birthday, Tommy! You finally have run support!

Heyward sure did make a heck of adjustment after that stretch of 7 or whatever strikeouts in 9 at-bats.

He’s been great.

OPS over 1.000

Just a grown man

He just rakes

Are we sure Heyward didn’t get a Golden Sombrero on purpose just to see how it looked on him?

Luke Gregerson

Anyone else think that’s the weirdest name ever?

i think the padres lead the league in weird names

Yeah... Everth is weird too

Marc Rzepczynski?

Jarrod Saltalamacchia
Biff Pocoroba

Anthony Slamma?
Paul Assenmacher?

Assenmacher

That’s a winner.

that guy

will make you wish you were left handed

3 runs for our starting pitcher?

KK is probably miserable right now.

All i want for my birthday

Is a two-game winning streak on sunday and tuesday

All I want for my birthday

Is for them to win every game between now and then-September 30.

Maybe asking too much.

I'd settle for playoff tickets.
all i want for my birthday

is Jason Heyward’s babies

that’lll be a mill for one.

I want the same.

7 Nov!!!

Another strikeout for Hanson!
GASSSSSSSSSSSS

7th K for Tommy

HAHA, GIVE ME YOUR TEARS GYPSY

HAHA

lol’d. harder than a chip carey fisting comment.

my wife make-a dis cheese with the milk from her teets

How many K’s is that now?

His curveball looks great

Hanson

still bringing it 96mph

Between Tommy, JJ, Mac, Heyward, Esco, and Prado, we may have the best young talent in baseball. I think we are going to be seriously nasty in the next few years.

farm stystem loaded with great pitchers, and freeman

I’m still dreaming of kimbrel to get up here.

+1

Lots of great prospects too

Maybe when Chip gets old

We’ll hear him gush “FROM FIRST . . . TO FIRST!” with a crop of young Braves rookies

maybe not the best, but easy top-5…we just need to start locking some of them up

What's the pitch count on Hanson?

noventa y cinco

Warum sind Sie sprechen spanisch?

Parce q’il n’e parle pas la Japonaise

Three of those “balls” were strikes. Grr

Doubleplay time?

I vote for this.

i like double plays...

that would be ideal

nope

strikeout time

Nah

We need to make the game more interesting. A couple more hits should do the trick

HE SAID IT! LATOS INTOLERANT!

"Latos intolerant'

groooooan

Chip would make the "Latos intolerant" joke.

/facepalm

The Chip double dip tonight

The Beade walked… Vidro time

The Padres have some really douchebaggy players. I don’t like Venable or Eckstein at all.

we have melky cabrera

tie game

How is Melky a douche? I mean, I get that his BABIP is in the low 100s now, but that makes him a douce???

nah

he was a dick to me at ST

Story time?

yes

please share.

haha, he, prado, and escobar were taking some batting practice behind the outfield before the game, was standing near the fence watching, then they all went out to head to the field, wished em luck and held my hand out to get high fives, prado and escobar gave me high fives, melky gave me a flip of the wrist, kind of rude

Meh. That doesn’t seem douchey to me. I mean, he probably could have given you the whole hand, but he was trying to do his job, ya know?

He's coming from the Yankees

What do you expect?

didnt expect much

thats y i wasnt too upset about it, just kind of like ‘wow, what a douche’

Yeah, that is aggravating

But Eckstein is 90% heart
WHAT!

where the fuck was that pitch?!?!?

Hanson is giving guys too many big counts
He's a power pitcher...

It comes with the territory.

wheeeew

Hundley lines it to center for an out

Throw that shit away Eric.

naw

Donate it to Talking Chop

Better still….give it to me so I can sell it on eBay

Anyone else very disappointed in Cougartown?

that would imply

that I had expectations that it might be good.

C''mon

It’s called Cougartown. Any dude in their 20s is hoping it’s good. But then you see Courteney Cox

You know she's in it before you watch it

(presumably)

So if you’re smart, you don’t watch it. I’m in my 20s, and I wouldn’t touch her with a 42 and a half foot pole

Yes

But it’s a prime-time sitcom. You don’t go to a Braves game to watch Tom Glavine, you’re there because you want to see Tommy Hanson. It’s like you go to watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall knowing it has Kristen Bell in it, but then you’re blown away by Mila Kunis’s superiority

The point is

Courteney Cox aside, you’re hoping there’s some unknown, lesser-known cougar that just steals the show. Like if Julie Bowen were on it

If I want to see Cougars...

I can find plenty of them without sitting through a horrible sitcom

Well listen to you

Mr. I have an awesome life and have a teleportation device to Whole Foods and Barnes and Noble where I can look at cougars all day without your fucking sitcoms

It’s not a show about “Cougars” though, it’s a show about being middle aged and divorced. The whole Cougar thing was just an attempt to draw interest and lower expectations.

Zooey reigns supreme

Finally

we agree on something

She’s insanely attractive, and is in a solid band…what’s not to like?

Yes man was a turn off for me.

haven’t seen it

Be weary

Watching that flick will make you realize your life is worthless and that you have no actual talent. And then make you want to go out and learn something new

I already know all that

Although

(500) days of Summer pissed me off. But she was adorable in Yes Man

did you not like 500 days, the movie, or her in the movie?

The story

Especially the ending

Her character was the greatest villain in movie history!

I’m in my 20s and she looked really good in the pilot episode. She’s like 50 right?

I thought it might be decent.

From the guy who made Scrubs.

I find it really funny.

No, the first couple of episodes I didn’t like, but once they dropped the “Cougar” storyline and started focusing more on the other characters, the show has been funny.

ugh

pick off throw into RF

Someone reeeeeally should send Chip a note on words and phrases that really should not be used in a national radio broadcast to people who know what the hell the subject matter is. It’s baseball dammit.

Dennis Miller syndrome?

aw, c'mon

Chip’s not that bad.

Can we just get the batter out and not worry about the fucking runner with 2 outs?

Oh hell...

They throw the ball away on a pick-off attempt

Mistake of youth.

Should have just concentrated on the guy at the plate. Too happy about his earlier success I guess. He’ll learn.

Where was that pitch?

Cut the crap Tommy….I’ve only got one thing to say to you.

Strike this MF’er out!

Or, in the edited for TBS version

“Strike this mumble guy out!”

ha

major league references, classic

Those are strikes...
Awesome play

Escobar, inning offer

Did Chip just say “pecker?”

pretty sure I heard that

I always worry about what that man thinks about in his free time.

A what

Petco Pecker Runs Record?

Other than Glaus (and maybe Chipper) we’re a really solid defensive team.

Teheran only pitched 3.1 innings tonight...

pitch count on?

Just got home from work

and not wanting to read through two threads (man we’re sick)….quick recap????

Three-run 6th inning, Hanson has 7 Ks. Braves lead 3-1.

Nothing happened until the 5th inning.

Pads scored on a 2out hit by Gonzalez. In the 6th McCann knocked 2 in, another came in later.

HEAP. HEYWARD

All you need to know

the usual suspects…got it

ROFL. They must have been cracking up.

Well, at least they were still laughing about it when they came back from the commercial.

Skip and Joe smokin that purple stuff during the break

Time to steal...

and then bunt him over to 3B.

We can dooooo it.

haha

That’s funny. Good one.

yeah

wishful thinking on my part. here comes a vidro

Have we won a game in which the opposing team didn’t have multiple errors?

I'm pretty sure the 2nd game of the Cubs series

but you make a good point

Guy hitting .500 to bunt…awesome

Prado

dont bunt, best hitter

Do not bunt, you old fool

How about a Hit n’ Run…

that seems to have gone out the window

I’ve heard other teams do it, I may have even seen a few.

Wish we would do it more, and steal bases too.

The two times we've tried hitting and running

we’ve had strikeout/throw out DPs

why why why

lets prado swing the bat!

Martin Prado buntin = epic failure of life.
Just go ahead and swing Marteeen

get the average up to .500 already.

I think that a .500 BA should be known as the Prado line.

He just slipped beneath the Prado line
What do you call bunting with your .500 hitter

??

Excessive drug use.

and now our hottest hitter is in a 0-2 hole

lol “Houston lost again…”

How’s everybody doing? Good to see we have a few runs on the board.

Great,

we’re winning!

man 0-8 just awful

Pitcher

taking his time

That was a strike lol

that was a strike, this ump is all over the place
PHILLIES ARE SO GOOD!

ZOMG 7-1 vs the Astros and Natinals

I know...

Those were hard fought victories.

crap

bunt failure

I think we can blame that on whoever thought bunting was a good idea

New Rule:

Martin Prado should not bunt. Ever.

a terrorist points a gun at prado and says, "bunt or i'll blow up the world"
Jason Heyward would stop this from EVER happening.

Bobby Cox logic dictates that whoever bat’s number 2 in the lineup should bunt in that situation, because if he was the hottest hitter on the team, surely he’d be hitting elsewhere.

a lefty?

they are just asking for a 2-run homer by chipper

BUNTING WITH POSITION PLAYERS IS RETARDED.

Caps for emphasis.

i'd be okay with bunting melky

if he can make contact

yeah if he can do it

bobby cox…. sigh…

TYPING WITH CAPS IS JUST ANNOYING

Caps for doucheness

oh yeah, sarcasm

Typing wtih caps

is for Sgt. Slaughter

that too, also proving that you have way too much time on your hands

You say that as if everyone else didn’t know

probably the best post in TC history. that or the “microsoft paint” fanpost

Pretty awesome spotting them an 0-2 count right there. How many sac bunts have Prado even attempted in his career?

chipper sucks!

trade him!

chipper

pops out to Center

Come on Chip

take a freakin pitch.

The patience of Chipper made me dizzy.

Matt

with the SB. Cool.

It's not news that Houston lost

It’s news that Albert Pujols did not hit a HR.

Dude had a 1.446 OPS

before today’s game

I think that's greater than

all of Houston’s lineup put together

yeah, they showed a graphic on MLBN where he was better in HR and RBI

pretty sure Douchebag in New York has a higher OPS

nope:

1.380…

But damn. 1.380. It’s like when he was first called up all over again

my fantasy team is hurting

without that pujols homer

how about Pedroia with 4 HRs already? I’m thinking along the lines of 50 HRs this year

Ugly Slide

just ugly, but what does Diaz do gracefully

we need to move chip further back in the lineup...i'm sorry but he is not a #3 batter anymore
Up in the lineup would be better
Disagree

He is mostly patient and minus one bad year, still one of the best contact hitters in the league. plus he can still drive fear into a pitcher

Are you basing this upon last year?

Or upon the 17 times he’s been to the plate this season?

Walk for Heap

righty coming in for Glaus

Time for Glaus homer now?

We can has plz?

Glaus doesn’t give Heap much protection.

He will just wait

singles power!

hey!

he hit a double earlier in the year, so shut up

I want you to be right.

that makes two of us

I am soooo glad you were!

woo

I kept calling it, so I had to be right eventually

Eventuality always comes through!

a righty? go right ahead, heyward's two spots away....

Heyward for Pujols straight up…would you do it?

Only if I was getting Heyward

no way

Heyward is the future!!! I want Pujols and Matt Holliday!!!

cant resign Pujols

so no

It would cost the Braves close to 200 mil
Looking at just the WAR aspect alone

Pujols is due a payout that would seriously dent the national deficit, and Liberty is not going to give us that to use on one guy, so nah

Him and Holliday are going to be like 50% of the Cards payroll

I think their payroll is going to expand a bit, but, yeah, close to it.

got free tickets to the mets braves game in new york next friday

anyone else going to be there?

we get the Mets next weekend?

YESSSSSSS!

yeap….sunday night game of the week…joe morgan ftw!

oh fuck

NOOOOOOOOOO!

Santana for Cy Young.

Glaus will come through here.

wow

he really did

Chase Gallagher

7.2 ERA

I thought his name was Sean

yeah...

had a brain fart there

Man, i hope Glaus goes yard

Then all you mofos have to buy that retarded Heyward shirt too

THER EYOU GOASDFA
You called it!
HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

god dammit, now I actually have to buy it

heeheeeheeheheeheheheeeheheheheeheheeej

talk to the guy and work your magic, I’m not paying full price

Just email the guy

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh

Glaus with the 3-run homer.

GET THE FUCK OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I TOLD YOU

HAHAHAH

You and I may not be the only ones that believe in him now!

Pretty sure I have believed in him all along.

Sorry,

I’ve just heard how bad he sux from so many on here, I felt like I was one of his two or three fans:)

Yep, you’ve been calling this one.

haha Glaus homer!

Glaus just hit 4 singles.

That was interesting.

Troy

There it is!

FINALLLLLYYYYYYYY!!!

YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH baby!!!!!!!

Jesus Christ! Glaus still has power!

TROY MOTHER FUCKIN GLAUS!

I TOLD YOU BITCHES!!!

u wanna run my fantasy team?

I guess somebody needs to run mine.

Word.

Justin, you should have told him about your retarded problem sooner

I told you earlier

get Melky on the phone tomorrow morning.

He has to read the TC threads…that’s what Troy did.

that ball was

KILLED. Good God

THAT WAS A FUCKING BOMB!!!! I WANT MY EXTRA NAHWAL POINT!!!!!

that was beastly!! wow. Let’s hope that gets him going now for sure. WOW.

Dont lose faith

Glaus delivers

I knew he could do it all along!

Just needed to shake the rust off :)

Holy shit

that was Andruw Jones territory up there.

seriously

I want the distance on that baby. Wow.

3 RUNS score!!!

I really should not find that picture as awesome as I do.
why not

awesome pitcure

I just find way too much awesome about a picture that scarcely communicates more than "Braves lady"

:-) I love it, even if I did make it.
Makes me think of Glavine/Maddux commercial every time. Makes me smile.

Let’s hope this cements Hanson’s first win of 2010.

That'll wake the neighbors...

So what Heyward shirt do we have to buy now?

Please!!!

Please be the start of something good and not the exception Troy!!!

That was fucking MAJESTIC!!!!!

Who called that Glaus homerun earlier

that shit is epic!

Several people did – including before the game.

including every other game haha but I’ll take it.

I kept trying

he delivers

I'm watching that shit again

Troy Glaus now has an OPS of .700

I got nearly as excited for that as I did when JHey launched his openning day.

lets not get carried away now…..

Just saying that was a fucking bomb and it was more of a surprise than JHey’s…

i had goosebumps for the rest of the night after that one

Champ from Channel 4 NEWS team just weighed in

the ball went 450+ feet.

Haha +1

Brick just loves lamp, though

Damn.

That might have been the longest non-Heyward HR of the year

so at this point

who gets the P2C, troy or mac?

melky cabrera

he took a walk

MAC – he lifted our spirits and gave us hope.

Who called

430 ft earlier?

Probably underestimated it

That hit the upper level of the bleachers. Projecting where it hits the ground, we’re talking 450 feet easy.

Tomorrow, first thing

I’m getting on hittrackeronline.com and finding out just hard he hit that crap.

That was a bad ass Pose ’n trot from Glaus

I

wasn’t gonna get on here tonight but WOW what a hell of a homerun by Glaus. That was a bomb.

I want some pretzels

Moylan comes in for the 5th time already…

“Who do you want Bobby.”

“Moylan.”

(Next Inning)

“Who do you want to bring in?”

“He’s already in there.”

Peter Moylan in the game???

Inconceivable!

he needs to upgrade his iPhone.

Soon

Bobby will have an iPad

Just so the letters M O Y L A N would be bigger.

The Braves could bolster their bench a lot if they’d just realize that Moylan is the only guy in the bullpen who gets called to pitch. Just get rid of the other guys to clear up those roster spots.

I don’t think that word means what you think it means…

Man

I miss Andre the Giant.

+1 for the PB reference

Never get into a land war in asia, never ……( I dont remember), And NEVER play a Sicilian when death is on the line!

+1 for the reference

-1 for utterly butchering it.

I would’ve gone with -2 for butchering it.

I broke even?

I consider that a win.

And besides, I aint seen that movie in like 15 years.

-1 more for not having seen that more in 15 years.

It’s always worth re-watching.

Hey mates, I'm Peter Moylan
think

Chip will mention vegemite

The question is whether we’ll see Saito and Wagner …

or mike dunn!
don't think he's there yet

I always like when the new guy gets in there in his first game.

I can't wait for SB and justin

to post pictures of them wearing their lily white Jason Heyward’s Up, Park at your Own Risk t-shirts

Nationals Meet Up Day

Haha

Agreed. Although I might wear mine in Baltimore during the Nats/O’s game

I’m going to make a legit attempt to drive down to Atlanta this year. I’ll keep you updated.

Word

Too bad there’s no Pickles Pub or anything close to it in Atlanta.

don’t get me started on that place. my buddy and i did a beer pong tourney there last year and i woke up in a house where i knew no one

lol

That place is godly

Chipper bobbles the ball....no error, though
Chipper

is like a black hole at Third

HAHA did he tell Glaus it’s still going? Anyone else catch that?

any word on the tale of the tape on Glaus’ HR?

Someone will put it on here tomorrow I’m sure.

God, imagine if we see 25+ more of those from Glaus this year…

Frank Wren would look like freakin a genius, eh?

hmmm….. *a freakin

That will be nice

Would make me very happy. I’m rooting for the guy.

I know

when I watched him hit that bomb. I had flashbacks of The Big Cat Andres Galaragga hitting bombs for us.

Oh man

good comp. They are very similar. Let’s hope Glaus doesn’t get cancer, though

Big Cat was better defensively, though.
give Glaus time

He was a decent 3B, should be a good 1B

Well

Was he better after 8 games?

Probably not

How many years do you think Glaus is going to take to get up to that level? Probably more than he spends here.

Yeah

I was always a HUGE Galarraga fan. When he came back from Cancer that was so inspirational.

Word.

Big Cat was my favorite player back then.

Yeah, I liked him too...

…though I suspect he was juicing like a mofo.

Yeah

it wouldn’t shock me if he did. The guy that you know juiced though was Javy Lopez in 2003. Lopez was on fire that season. He hit 43 homers and I remember he hit 2 homers in quite a few games that year.

Lalalalala – refuse to believe. Will not read again.
LOL

Andres hit a grand-slam for me when I was at the Ted for my Bday … think it was 2006.
Awesome.

in 2006?

Last HR was in 2004 (and only 1 that year)

Well, then it was 2004 – I was trying to remember which trip it was.
Thanks.

Or…not. Only 1 in 2004?
Dang, it was a night game in April….cold as hell.
I’ll have to look it up.

April 8, 2000

off Livan Hernandez :)

Thank YOU! My memory is crap.
Hubby says: “You have the memory of a puppy”.

2000?

So Livan must’ve been 20-23 years old then

In his “prime”

Maybe in Cuban years which are twice as long as Earth years.

No wonder Yunel has sucked this year

he’s like 52

hold it together here bullpen...lets get out of here with a win
No fair!

Padres get old man Dick Enberg and we get Fisted

I know

wish we had Dick Enberg

Vidro

nice play Yunel

I like this guy, Yunel

We should keep him.

edward.....

salcedo

Yunel = 3B

ahhhh… beat me to it.

I thought

Salcdeo 3B

either or, really

Yeah, all depends on how Salcedo progresses i guess.

He is a big guy right

6-2 or 6-3

SIT DOWN THIS IS BRAVES COUNTRY TOO
Who likes the Twin Killers?

This guy right here does.

I <3 Peter Moylan’s ability to get groundballs

I love his never ending stamina

Yea that and his beard, but I liked the glasses so I’m slightly disappointed with him

Nice job of everybody getting out of the way (Moylan/Prado)

not this guy again........

Ok, someone tell Moylan to hit Eckstein right in the mouth. Just for fun.

More fun

If he hits him down under.

Hahaha

+22

However somewhat spoiled by Chip talking about “dancing” and “second base pillow”….
His wife must be so proud.

well, "pillow" is better than "sack"
Eckstein

Finally out, thank you god

=O

eckstein records an out?

I feel a walk here
I feel an ass.
Let's go Heyward!

That was a rip.

If you hit Heyward

I’ll kick you ass.

J-Hey HR for good measure?
wow

that was right down the middle

Heyward

Ks looking

He hits more foul choppers than I’ve ever seen.

Right down the middle

NO GUM!! That must of been the problem.

If Melky gets a hit

this place will explode

If Melky gets a hit

Then someone’s buying a Heyward shirt

fine fine

when he finally homers

melky: "fuck patience, i'm hacking"
Melky..

.097 avg, 0HR, 0RBI

those numbers

are depressing for Melky

diaz to heyward “just swing at everything…thats what I do”

Hahah

“It felt wrong not to swing.”

A Signs quote?

Really?

Melky Ks

looking

3-2 count

….aaaand another out.

but he saw 6 pitches that ab!

pitiful, melky
wait

i thought mclouth was in the game???

scratch right before the game no word yet

He is. Melky moved to LF.

melky replaced diaz i think

Melky’s making it very hard for me to like him.

Hinske pinch hitting!
Hinske striking out!

I sure hope Vizcaino is awesome someday, cause Melky ain’t worth a velvet painting of a whale and a german shepherd getting it on.

yup, cause no one has ever had a 2 week slump in baseball before

Melky’s been in a slump for the better part of 4 years …

yup…having a 1.7 WAR last year sure is a slump

Yep, he had the best season in 3 years in a ballpark that seriously favors left handed hitters, and was barely average …

so an improvement is still a slump…good to know

No, it’s a hot streak (fueled by nuYankee Stadium), after two straight years of absolutely awful play.

What I was actually implying was that Melky has not been very good at baseball in his career.

a 540 PA hot streak? interesting…

Look I’m not saying the guy is great, but jesus christ, give him a fucking chance. unless you can provide me with concrete date that the majority of his numbers came from the LH side than just give it a rest. new Yankee stadium was not the hitter park everyone thinks it was.

a 540 PA hot streak? interesting…

Not really. It’s not exactly a secret that guys sometimes have good years or down years and then revert back to what they were doing before.

But you’re right about his splits last year being pretty balances, I was either looking at the wrong year or his career numbers.

It’s a joke dude…lighten up a little.

No joking that can’t be supported with sophisticated SABR statistics is allowed here, don’t you know?

Haha

Talladega Nights FTW.

Agree with Beard tho.

Or it's not like Vazquez is doing much yet either
+1 for the Talladega Nights quote

+.5 for almost getting it right

does hinske play outfield???

yes, he can “play” both corners

UZR actually likes his OF Defense …

SSS I would assume, but hey…I hope I’m wrong!

208 games in the OF with a UZR/150 of 5.5.

damn, well I can’t imagine it, but I suppose he doesn’t look as slow as Glaus

has melky not gotten to full count yet?

well that was a shitty inning

Hinske Ks

ugly inning

Haha, Yankees shoulda asked for Vazquez/ Melky staight up……We screwed them

Sean Gallagher, dealing!

Well that inning was a buzz kill.

Saito time?

I want EOF

EOF in the 8th, Saito in the 9th! There’s no point in bringing Wagner in for a non-save situation.

Good lord

Why doesn’t he just go into the dugout and start smashing some watermelons while he’s at it

He’ll never be as awesome as Black Gallagher!

I think Hinske stepped in some Melky on his way up to the plate …

don't look now, but

glaus has more RBI (6) than mccann (5)

Braves game at 6pm tomorrow…Caps playoffs game at 7pm tomorrow…hmm…

Ovechkin is a frickin animal.

cough red wings cough

worry about the Coyotes, maybe?

a little

Goaltending is a big suspect

looks like

they might take the first game though.. =/

I was a little surprised to see the down years from Zetterberg and Datsyuk. Any reason?

Hockey is unbelievable live....

I don’t know how anyone watches it from their couch.

Agreed…such an intense game!

I saw the Caps play the Rangers at the beginning of the year and it was one of like 5 games they lost at home. But yes, the atmosphere is amazing.

It’s alot of fun being around a team where the fans actually care.

Yeah I can see that and get that. The Pens baby team is in my area and acouple years back people went nuts for them. But I just can’t sit and watch a game of hockey on TV.

I love it, but that's just me.
hahahaha

There was an article in the Post about fairweather Caps fans, and I declared that only people with the blue jerseys from 1998 are true Caps fans with “Bondra” and “Kolzig” only allowed.

haha, I don’t pretend to be a die hard fan. But I’ve been watching them off and on since 1994 so I’m allowed to get excited now

Baseball > hockey

normally yes, but playoff hockey?

All baseball > all hockey

Olympic Hockey > World Baseball Classic. Every time.

...well plaued, Mauer
!!

how intense would hockey be if playoff games were single elimination instead of 7 game series.

Lets not encourage rioting if we don’t have to.

GO HURRIcan...nvm...I'll stop
If Saito got a groundball here...

It might literally be the easiest DP in the 119 year history of baseball.

Mo Vaughn on first with Bengie molina batting

DAMN!!

You beat me to the Bengie Molina reference!

he is the slowest moving thing in baseball

I think Cox would beat him down the line

lol…Mo Vaughn, nice

All of the Padres stacked their numbers in the game Monday night.

Looks like Saito is throwing Blanks up there

I had to make some sort of pun.

The comedy

During late night TC sessions is unrivaled by any blog on the web.

I'll need to step up my game.
blanks Ks

nice pitch Saito

Dirtier than Christina Aguilera
ok

just got in from work. How did we score?

Heap, Heyward,

and Glaus’s first HR that means beard and justin have to buy lame Heyward shirts

go-ahead 2-run double from Mac

epic 3 run HR from Glaus

RBI single from J-hey

McCann 2-run double, Heyward RBI single, Glaus 3-run HR

Glaus 3 run bomb, Mac 2 run double, Heyward single

Saito

looks like he did with the Dodgers. Straight up nasty

Lot of pitches this inning, though

I’d be so happy not to use BW.

hasn't pitched in a while, though right?

might be good to get some work in?

Wouldn’t it be great if we also got D. Lowe back to the way he was with the dodgers, but we get to keep his magical offense catalyst?

This ump’s zone still sucks, btw

true

but Saito is mowing ’em down anyway

Yawn…come on guys – 7am is early.

Strikeout

another K for Saito

His fastball is sneaky quick

Wow, almost gotta admire that fan’s persistence…almost…somebody slap him please

Really!
Gosh, I was just allllmost ready to mute the TV.

Let’s go Padres.
Let’s go Padres.
Let’s go Padres.
Let’s go Padres.
Let’s go Padres.
Let’s go Padres.

Hey guys, not nice.

Don’t make fun of retards.

Someone should throw that dude off the upper deck.

I feel bad for him

usually people help you and get together. But nope just him sounding like an ass

Every now and then

It seems like 4 or 5 people join him.

I totally was that guy once

At RFK in the 13th inning of a Braves/Nats game in the rain. I got so many people to join me, and I was screaming at Heap and Francoeur, talking about their high schools

I remember, back in 2005

Trying to get a bunch of people to chant MVP with me every time Andruw came to the plate. No one joined me until like the 7th inning. Every game.

he should have won MVP that year, no question

That was a hard year

Pujols was just so perfectly balanced, but Andruw was a beast with the league lead in HRs and RBI, but too many lauded his .260-something average and strikeout count

No one considered his defense

Which is the best UZR year we’ve got, and the fact that he played CF instead of first base. Position adjustments + defense would have put him well ahead.

I'm not disagreeing

I also think the BS of the BBWAA felt they “owed” Pujols for all the runner-ups he had to deal with being behind Bonds all those years prior.

The funny thing is

That was practically a down year by Pujols standards. He’s had 5 seasons that are better than that one.

His defense puts him over the top no question

Filthyyyyyyyyy
Good god

Saito’s pitches are so dirty the Padres are going home with STDs

LMAO

Now that was funny. lol

What is that idiot chanting?

LET’S GO PRADO!

I thought so too.

My first thought was that it was somehow related to Chip’s comment about a Petco Pecker from earlier.

Let's go Padres!

The 3rd base ump obviously doesn’t have a date tonight.

He has a date with the remote and.. wait a minute

Shame on you :)
if we don't score in the 9th

does bobby go to b-wags?

He shouldn’t

no

not a save situation, save him

He needs work

Hasn’t pitched since Friday

I would say yes

Just guessing since it’s been a couple of days and he wants to get that blown save behind him.

Ground out to end the inning!

Man, I wish JoJo wasn’t hurt!

why, exactly?
he can be our mop-up guy in blowouts, like monday
uh.

Yeah, but I’d rather use a position player than Jo-jo

Why?

Would you trust JoJo out there with only a 5 run lead?

No one

trust Jo Jo with a 10 run lead

Oh, I was completely kidding…I wouldn’t trust JoJo to babysit, much less pitch with anything less than a 25 run lead

So we have to play extra innings?

Free baseball
good play Prado

I hate Venable

Post game questions: continue watch season 4 of Oz, or watch Paranormal Activity?

Paranormal Activity was a disappointment for me.

Sleep inducing, that one was. It was more boring than The Blair Witch Project – and almost as stupid.

Sleep

You insomniac

paranormal activity was terrible I thought

Paranormal Activity is more of a comedy that horror film.

Paranormal activity it is…

417ft

seems short

Yes

Yes it does

source?
TV

Airtran “how high did it fly”

oh, cool

im getting the SD feed on mlbtv :(

Guarantee that hittracker

has it longer than that

yea

after adjustments

Well

They always plot where it would hit the ground-that thing hit the second deck, like 30 feet up.

A homer and 2 walks for FYF today…

Good for him

I’d actually like to see him succeed, but I kind of hate that it’s with the Mets.

Once everyone else starts hitting

He will strike, with strikeouts and ground outs with men on base

Yunel to Glaus

Yunel, “How do you hit it so far”
Glaus, “Swing Blindly”

Who told Yunel the frosted tips looked good?

IDK but it looks great on him. He looks like a middle schooler
Half the reason why i bought an escobar shirt haha

No one I know. Ugh.

If McLovin goes yard

Someone’s buying a Heyward shirt

Note to McLouth: Make excuses when you’re 2-17

WOW did everyone just see that. Troy Glaus and Yunel Escobar having a conversation?

that was awesome.

I guess Yunel is learning a little more english.

P.S. Yunel’s frosted tips are SWEEEET! haha. It’s like 1997 middle school hair do

Mclouth Ks

4 consecutive Ks for the Braves

I don't think McLouth has a clue of what to do at the plate. Combined with spring training and this season

i don’t think he has double figure hits.

we are in trouble then

neither does Melky

Nightly Nate McLouth strikeout – CHECK!

Mclouth

Really opening his hips early on his swing
Reminds me of Kelly and all of his struggles last year. His back foot is collapsing trying to smack the ball in the air

What happened to the Nate McLouth that was good in Pittsburgh?

well, he did have poorer vision....
it was only one year
Relativity.

He just looked good in Pittsburgh the way Eckstein looks huge among dwarfs.

5 Strikeouts

Prado hat trick

Worst swing by Odarp all year.

Braves win is worth crappy bowling game in the morning.
Soooooo glad they didn’t let the Padres embarrass us again.

chip is bailing pretty bad right now

Braves trying to speed things up

Diaz approach

Wow

6 Ks in a row

I miss the power we had with

Chip, Andruw, and Javy…they alone were hittin 100 HRs a year

and the rest of the team

was hitting 5

2003

How did we lose to the Cubs that year?

Kerry Wood

Was a monster that NLDS

Man

even though we didn’t win a championship that 2003 offense was fun to watch that season.

plus

we had a true leadoff in Furcal there for a while…and then Marcus Giles had a few good years…those were the days…

well

at least we’re winning…….

Time to wrap this game up...

So when did the Padres sign 1999 Pedro martinez?

This strike zone is ridiculous

Who's this reliever?

He’s nasty.

what a way to end the awesome night

Bring everyone back to earth

Wow. 6 Ks in a row. At least we’re winning.

Fill in the blank...

If the Braves were to lose tonight, I would _____________________.

Do you mean tonight the 14th

or tonight the 15th? Because it’s the 15th here

still watch porn, then fall asleep?

normally works for me

Multitask.

Baseball on tv, porn on laptop.

oh its all queued up…just waiting for wags to shut the door

boys – so predicktable.

Drink every beer in my fridge

make a sacrifice to the baseball gods

“go on a rant about how the season is OVER!!”

sabsturbate and cry myself to sleep
Wagner in
we're desperate for that win

Bobby Cox bullpen management, at it’s best

He hasn't pitched since Friday

give Bobby a break on this one

ABSOLUTELY NOT
haha,

okay, okay! no breaks.

STFU and go order your shirt

I’m going to just get super drunk and forget about that bet

I have your phone number and your XBOX handle

LALALALALALALALALALA, I can’t hear you

BW may want to put the taste of the Giants “oops” away.

Yes

and he prefers not to go too long between starts.

Well, someone might want to let Bobby know

Because it’s been like 16 years.

everyone’s a smartass lol

should say appearances rather than starts

Anyone believe that McLouth will play MUCH better if he would grow out that beautiful long blonde locks again

like in Pittsburgh

Ugh

classic “closer can’t pitch with a big lead” situation here. C’mon Wags, we’re only up 1!!!

BOOOO

Wags sucks send him to the DL for sucking just like Gonzo

He can keep Jojo company

They can recover from their “injuries” together!

For Wags,

we can call it a “brusied toe”

Vidro or K please.

There’s the K
Now for the Vidro

LET’S GO PRADO!

I knew Chip was evil

6-6 in the 6th

Hairston Ks

one out

True Story

Carrie Prejean, the chick who’s been in the tabloids a lot lately was a member of the Pad Squad a few years ago

That is not surprising at all somehow
oh god

now some kid has joined and having to listen to Chip. UGH WHY HEYWARD WHY!!

Come on Wags

get us out of the inning and knotch the W

I AM HAVING THE WEIRDEST CASE OF DEJA VU RIGHT NOW

What? Wagner is going to give up a 5-run homer and blow the save!?

As soon as Heyward comes up to bat for the Pads
jo jo on the dl

for whiplash?

Flu like symptoms*

That usually means drunk

Remember Tim Lincecum didn’t play at all in his first all-star game, because he was trashed?

Jo-Jo

Hurt Feelings

Too much pressure on the knee

carrying around that ERA

Jo Jo

story sounds so fake. Lets face it he sucks

Maybe that's why Bobby is keeping him around! :)
Wagner with another K!
Hairston Ks

Wagner blows the brothers away

Hey Good News, Tomorrow's a Day Game

6:35 EDT

going

to have to rush home tommorrow

ahhh have to work….thank god only 2 more weeks of night shift

for those of us who like Will Farrell

http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/theotherguys/

Who is Will Farrell?

A guy who is not funny.

Maybe he should spell his last name

with two "e"s then.

woah, woah, woah...

…old Will Ferrell was classic

Frank The Tank

was the shit!!! You’re my boy Blue!

But he's funny looking ;)
sorry didn't know this was a spelling bee. sorry i'm not perfect pacgnosis

I want to see Hyde get the call up

Wagner gives up a walk....
Cabrera walks

Blah Eckstein up

1am…hurry the fuck up southpaw

oh god

eckstein is up

So i

assume Hanson pitched a great game

aside from the 4 walks

let's call it

a Derek Lowe “lite” performance.

4?

Damn, I’m more drunk that I thought

yes

as chip would say
He was crisp

haha

you guys pay way too much attention to chip

Here’s a shot to deep left field field, Matt Diaz going back…one step and he makes the catch.

1 run in 6 innings – 7 or 8 strikeouts, I forget.

If there was a player I wanted to see 95 to the face

It would be Eckstein

6 walks, yikes.

At least we’re winning.

Hope Wagner is just dicking around, he doesn't look sharp...
hasn't worked in what, 5 days?
Rust + no urgency

 = not looking sharp

finish the game!

god this has been a long game

Just hit the 3 hour mark…and game over.

Man

that was a strike, I hate Eckstein

The "Rudy" of baseball

thanks chip

BRAVES WIN! BRAVES WIN! BRAVES WIN!
Eckstein pop-out

game over

Ron Burgandy says,

You stay classy, San Diego?

BRAVES WIN! IT'S A RAINBOW LLAMASAURUS MIRACLE

That is messed up.

acid flashback…

sweet sweet victory

until tomorrow!

thank god

sweet mercy.

good night everyone.

Finally!!!!

See you all tomorrow.

Rockies just walked off on the Mets…Ianetta

LOL Mets

I don’t want the Rox to be hot coming in here, but screw it, I’m glad they’re whooping the Mets

Why can’t the Natinals do that to the Phils? :(

Because they’re not very good?

BOOO

WE SUCK WE ONLY WON BY 5 RUNZZZ

Alright

Time for sleep…

Great game see you tommorrow

Alright folks. Bedtime.

See ya’ll tomorrow

Time to go do a recap

I saw Javy had another bad

start maybe we can send Jo Jo for Javy
