I would be willing to bet
This is a phantom injury for McLouth

Anyone have a tv link for the game?
I missed Turner Field.
Scott Coleman - April 2, 2010 via mobile
ugh. I was really hoping for the home hats….
I really loathe these ST caps.
Chief Noc-A-Homa - April 2, 2010
almost as much as I loathe Fred Hickman
Chief Noc-A-Homa - April 2, 2010
finally
get to watch one
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Woohoo TV Game for me tonight!
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Amen Sista,
Go Braves!
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Not for me...
Would either of you ladies be interested in play by play?
Scott Coleman - April 2, 2010 via mobile
I'm sure they will be some guys on here that will do it,
but if not, I’ll wing it :)
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
I’m multi-tasking – finishing up dinner and dishes … and may miss some.
HeyJude, you “wing it” much better than I, but if you need me to try and help let me know.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Look at you with the new ava!!!
I dig it.
Chief Noc-A-Homa - April 2, 2010
Bought that!
Cammando2317 - April 2, 2010
Anyone else with MLB At Bat 2010
Get the new update? It looks much better than it did a few weeks ago.
Scott Coleman - April 2, 2010 via mobile
But look-it…..the Sox aren’t wearing ST hats……I just wonder why is all….
Chief Noc-A-Homa - April 2, 2010
I can help
with pbp since i rely on it nightly
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
A volunteer!
Thank You so much!
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Andruw is in CF
Think he’ll get cheers or boos when he comes up?
Scott Coleman - April 2, 2010 via mobile
…crickets? lol
Chief Noc-A-Homa - April 2, 2010
Glavine, cleans up nice,
sitting in the booth, with Joe and Chip. I sure have missed Joe.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Boog and Syndrome had it down to an art. But I like Chip, too.
Chief Noc-A-Homa - April 2, 2010
HAha
See what I did there?
JOE and Syndrome….
Chief Noc-A-Homa - April 2, 2010
I’d have to do the radio if Joe were to go away. No one makes the games worth listening to like he does.
I’m really gonna miss the chemistry he and Boog had together.
Chip will be a whole lot easier to tolerate this year if he would just known when to squeal like a girl and not.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
I thought this sucker was televised?
BigG1392 - April 2, 2010
FSS has it
bighop - April 2, 2010
Nevermind. It’s on Sports South… my bad
BigG1392 - April 2, 2010
Pierre up 1-0 infield bunt single
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
eh. not much you can do with that one. I’ve always liked Juan Pierre
BigG1392 - April 2, 2010
Pregame interview with Chipper said 1-25 – of all the teams he’s ever played with – this team is SOLID. He said that’s not real “sexy” but it fits this team and they the ability to get the job done if they stay healthy.
Sounds sexy as HELL to me.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Beckham up 2-2 count pierre swipes second
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
beckham ks swining
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Sit down Beckham!
BigG1392 - April 2, 2010
JP steals 2nd base. UGH.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Evening everyone!
10-4 - April 2, 2010
Hola!
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Would that be you modeling your shirt up above?
10-4 - April 2, 2010
As a matter of fact.
It’s my nightshirt one…I’m too bashful to show more LOL.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
haha
10-4 - April 2, 2010
hello
bighop - April 2, 2010
Happy you could join us!
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
me too, i haven’t been able to see an actual live game all spring. the only ones i could actually see were dvr’d day games that i watched that night.
10-4 - April 2, 2010
Beckham down swinging.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Hanson hits 95 mph w a fastball
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
The "Q" on Quentin's jersey looks like an "O"
Can’t they spring for a little tail so I don’t think he’s “Ouentin”?
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
Is it a font issue? ;-)
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
If so,
they need a new font.
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
Melky Cabrera
shows Juan Pierre what a “throwing arm” looks like.
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
Quentin up 2-2 pop fly to melky 2 out
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Konerko up 0-1 single pierre scores 1-0 sox
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Esco dove and just missed
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
and that’s what happens when you have a GOOD leadoff hitter
BigG1392 - April 2, 2010
And aren’t afraid to steal bases.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Haha,
Pierre? Well, he certainly does hit a lot of singles and steal some bases. Doesn’t do anything else at all though. I’d take any guy on our roster but Conrad over him batting leadoff.
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
He’s able to bunt for a hit, steal a base, and has great speed. That’s all you really need.
BigG1392 - April 2, 2010
Well, no.
You need on-base percentage. Something that Pierre is not good at. At all.
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
oh god. skinny Andruw!
BigG1392 - April 2, 2010
Yep, he looks great!
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
I’m glad he’s back in shape.
Now I just want him to have a really off night against us.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Andruw
gets a small hand. No boos that I hear.
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
New slim Andruw, same bad swing.
10-4 - April 2, 2010
Melky does an Andruw, floating back to catch that ball.
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
Andruw up 1-2 pop fly to center 3 out
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Andruw does look like hes in much better shape
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
I wonder if that will translate to not being terrible. Since he’s in the AL, I’ll be rooting for him.
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
attaboy Melky
BigG1392 - April 2, 2010
Melky with a single!
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Bottom 1st
Melky up 1-0 single to left
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
And this is where our lineup gets dangerous.
BigG1392 - April 2, 2010
Seeing eye single for Prado
bighop - April 2, 2010
i think it was more of the third baseman’s glove running away from the ball.
10-4 - April 2, 2010
no, it intentionally dodged the glove
bighop - April 2, 2010
Prado up 1-1 single to left hit it hard under 3rd basemans glove
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Prado hit! Chipper up with 2 on and 0 outs!
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
any links?
sepulcher - April 2, 2010
I don’t know why they do it, but for some reason i like that the Braves don’t wear their real uniforms until the regular season. Maybe Bobby thinks the honor should only go to those who have earned it or something.
10-4 - April 2, 2010
Interesting theory. I like it.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Just looking at game pictures and highlights, they seem to be one of the few teams that does it.
10-4 - April 2, 2010
Classic Chipper at-bat here.
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
ack. Everything went wrong on that one
BigG1392 - April 2, 2010
Hmm, that didn’t work.
10-4 - April 2, 2010
Gavin Floyd pitching by the way
Chip up runners on 1st and 2nd
3-2 chipper ks both runners go melky gunned at 3rd 2 outs
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Ouch.
Failed hit and run results in a strike-em-out-throw-em-out DP. Prado to 2nd.
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
Unfortunate strike ’em out, throw ’em out DP there.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Wild Pitch,
Prado to 3rd
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
Mac up 2-2 wild pitch prado to 3rd
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
full count mac walks
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
damn, McCann went 20-40 during ST. Would be nice to see a repeat to start the season
BigG1392 - April 2, 2010
BMac may have gotten a bit of a gift of the no swing call.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Braves hitters making Floyd work.
Two straight 3-2 counts
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
I’ve got a feeling we’re going to watch some long games this year
bighop - April 2, 2010
Especially with Chipper, Glaus, McCann, and Heyward. They can work at bats.
BigG1392 - April 2, 2010
How's that for a 3-4-5-6?
Pitchers will need probably 20+ pitches to get through those 4 guys on average.
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
I wish it was 2,3,4,5 with Heyward, Chipper, Glaus, McCann
bighop - April 2, 2010
Fine by me,
as long as it’s because we’re scoring tons of runs.
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
1st and 3rd for Glaus
BigG1392 - April 2, 2010
something i like to see us do more of..
get deep into counts in early innings, get that pitch count up!! MAC WALK
PenderMania - April 2, 2010
C'mon Glaus
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Nice time for Troy’s first homer….
10-4 - April 2, 2010
Just missed it
Off the end of the bat.
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
Glaus up 1st and 3rd 2 Outs
1-0 pop fly to right 3 Outs
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
poo.
10-4 - April 2, 2010
At least we made them throw several pitches.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
we will see a lot of that this season i think
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Four Base Runners
and no runs. I guess that’s the frustrations to expect from a high OBP team without much power. At least it works the pitcher?
Bubdylan - April 2, 2010
Yes,
and we’d have scored at least one run—probably more—without the hit and run
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
That Stevi B's commercial
might be the worst commercial of all time.
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
Good nes is Heyward is due up next inning haha
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Pierzynski 0-0 pop to left 1 down
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
I've been trying to find a video link...
Nothing yet, but found this nifty reference: ~ Click Here for Sites to Watch Live Sports ~
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Rios up 2-1 hard hit to chip who knocks it down but thats all
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Teahen up 0-2 rios swipes 2nd
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Teahen Ks
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
2 stolen bases already for them…ugh.
Hold them closer Tommy.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Anybody think Ross should catch Hanson?
bighop - April 2, 2010
Would be beneficial, especially with the DH – we could have he and Heap both in the lineup.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Hubby said they are using DH rules tonight – the reason for that logic.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Ross seems to have the better arm, and Hanson has the high leg kick
bighop - April 2, 2010
Hanson/McCann =
Runner’s paradise?
Bubdylan - April 2, 2010
Can't really blame him
I mean, it is just an exhibition. He might want to worry more about fine-tuning his pitches.
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
I'd rather Tommy just concentrate on the hitter.
Holding runners isn’t that big a deal. Greg Maddux showed that one.
cavebird - April 2, 2010
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Ramirez up 2 outs runner on 2nd
2-0 pop out to mac
End Of Inning
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Anyone excited?
Heyward’s first PA at the Ted coming up.
cavebird - April 2, 2010
Heyward just killed a guy with that foul ball
BigG1392 - April 2, 2010
Bottom 2nd
Heyward up 1-1 grounder to 2nd
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Esco full count, k
bighop - April 2, 2010
Escobar doing a FYF imitation.
BigG1392 - April 2, 2010
Esco up 3-2 Ks on an obvious ball 4
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Anyone else watching this on SSHD
hearing a popping and cracking sound occasionally?
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
do u have dish? cause im on ss and it isnt in hd
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
I'm on Comcast,
checked other channels and the popping is not on other channels.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
RUN…run like the wind
bighop - April 2, 2010
I wish I had FSS/HD – but analog fuzzy is better than no Braves at all.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Diaz up grounder to short 3 away
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
"Diaz jumps on the first pitch"
Where have I heard that before?
Matty is like the antidote to all of our patient hitters. The Braves: something for everyone!
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
I feel like this umpire is going to have a sore arm tomorrow with the way
he calls strikes.
Erin6 - April 2, 2010
Top 3rd
Pierre up 2-2 Ks on a fastball 1 Out
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Hanson blows away Pierre
Pierre can’t hit Tommy’s fastballs unless he bunts them.
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
sick K on Beckham
bighop - April 2, 2010
Juan makes 3
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
3 Pitches, 3 strikes
Beckham goes down easy.
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010

TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Tommy's looking darn good, by the way.
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
Yes he is.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Quintinup 1-0 pop fly to melk
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Beckham makes 4
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
4 Ks through 3 very nice
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Anybody ready for some Braves offense. After yesterday I am
bighop - April 2, 2010
and here we go...
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Can you request a pennant and World Series championship too?
Since you’re on a roll.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Anybody ready for a Braves World Series win?
bighop - April 2, 2010
Hinkse leads off 0-1 single to left
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
DH rules??
hanson could use some ABs……
atl192485 - April 2, 2010
Cabrerra scares the ball boy to death with that one.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Ut on, I gave Melky an extra “r” there.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Great catch by the ball boy!
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Melky up 1-2 Ks looking 1 Out
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Prado up 3-2 Ks swinging 2 Out
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Chip up 2-1 Single to center
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
That was not Andruw-like defense
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
Anyone else hitting “post” and nothing happens?
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
BMac battling….
I can only post if I “preview” first.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Anyone else having this issue?
.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Seems to be working normal now.
Hmm, must be the ST haints.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Mac up runners on 1st and 2nd
2-2 pop fly to andruw 3 out
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Heap,
just missed knocking in at least one, then K’s to end the inning.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
BMac high fly ball for out 3 with 2 on.
Let’s go back to FL so we can SCORE.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
I agree, lol
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Have patience folks.
We haven’t scored, but we have gotten Floyd up to 54 pitches in three innings without scoring. That’s a good sign.
cavebird - April 2, 2010
Why does it seem like Juan P leads off every inning?
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Ignore this useless and pointless post.
I heard Juan P being discussed in the background and replied before I looked.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Top 4
Konerko up 1-1 grounder to esco 1 Out
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
is it just me or
is this ump’s strike zone huge?
atl192485 - April 2, 2010
and Tommy walks someone lol
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Andruw up 3-1 Walk
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Andruw dives back to 1st – gets dirt sandwich.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010

Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
Pierzynski up 1-0 pop out to short 2 Out
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Rios up 1-0 Andruw gunned by BMAC 3 Out
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Brian McCann
guns down Andruw trying to steal to end the inning
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
Andruw can take a seat! BMac guns him down!
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
BMac
got Andruw but his throwing still needs a bit of work
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Bottom 4
Glaus up 0-1 grounder to 3rd 1 Out
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Heyward up 2-0 pop fly to center 2 Out
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Got everybody excited for a sec, just got under it.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
Esco grounder to 2nd 3 Down
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Is that 2 pitches for him so far?
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Ok, that was too darn quick of an inning for us.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
agreed
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Floyd didn’t even have to adjust his cup it was so few pitches.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
can we just become the orlando braves?
ryan c - April 2, 2010
carpengui - April 2, 2010
Top 5 Scored 1-0 Sox
Medlen in to pitch
Rios up 1-2 grounds out to chip 1 Out
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Medlen on....
one out.
And the White Sox seem almost like the AL Braves. Decent O top to bottom, although I’d like ours better. But a solid overall staff with Peavy, Buerhle, Floyd, and Danks.
Mr. Sanchez - April 2, 2010
Teahen up walks on 4 straight
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
Ramirez up digs out grounder to 2nd runners 1st and 2nd 1 out
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
That hit and run
worked a lot better than ours did
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
pierre grounder up the middle bases juiced 1 out
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
medlen is struggling
beckham with an rbi single
Mr. Sanchez - April 2, 2010
Beckham up 1-1 single to right 2 score
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
What the hell?
I go open a bottle of wine to come back to 1 out, 2 runs in and 3 straight hits?
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
correction: 4-0 and 4 straight hits.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Beckham single through to RF. Two runs score.
Ball got away as cutoff man (a) was lined up wrong; and (b) let it through.
Another single – another run. 4-0.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
We look like
“The Bad News Bears” on that play. Hoping they are getting it out of their system before Monday.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Ugh
singles right by people all over the place. Could they hit one at someone please?
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
Beckham needs to do that a lot starting next week since he’s on my Roto team.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
The good news this year is,
we have the O to get back into the game.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Konerko skies one to LF…. 2 Out.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
Ok Andruw – get revenge for that CS another night.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Konerko up pop out to diaz 2 Down
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
outside breaking ball...
gets him everytime
Mr. Sanchez - April 2, 2010
I wish the hometown fans in the stands could see more offense tonight.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
doesn't look like there are many tonight
Mr. Sanchez - April 2, 2010
Looks like a good crowd to me,
but after last season, it doesn’t take many to look good.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Still have time
TomGarrett - April 2, 2010
carpengui - April 2, 2010
Mercifully Medlen finally gets his…
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
nice
Mr. Sanchez - April 2, 2010
I’m keeping his Scrabble K’s from last year – for some reason, to me it fits him.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Come on Caveman – let’s get the O started.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Or not. I’d hate to be struck out by a Putz.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
I'm thinking after the flight home last night.
Momma and the kiddo’s have worn them all out.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
You’re probably right. ;-)
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Not that it is,
all bad. :)
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Disappointing O tonight
bighop - April 2, 2010
Hey 10-4 – it’s your 2 yr anniversary of joining TC!
Great photo in your avatar too!
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Nice play by Glaus.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Nice play by Glaus!
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Yeah that was a tricky play.
He’s looking really good over there, considering.
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
Gosh, it seems like we’ve played 13 innings already.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Prado quick out 1 in the 6th.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Boy you can tell when we're losing around here!
Jay212033 - April 2, 2010
Ramirez made Chipper look old and slow for out 2.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
2 out in the 6th,
after getting Chipper out on a great play.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
BMac with a double!
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Heap with a double
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
That ball was smoked.
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
McCann good hit, get to see Heyward try to hit a lefty if Glaus keeps it going….he does
bighop - April 2, 2010
Did I hear Tommy say the triple by Heap was the most exciting 2 minutes in sports?
HaHaHa.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
A run!!
Jacob Peterson - April 2, 2010
Now 4-1
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Finally!
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Heyward up after Glaus knocked one run in.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
He k's
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
how glaus knocked one run in?
Kobe:The Legend - April 2, 2010
Hard hit single,
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
At least we didn’t get shut out at home.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Pesky Juan P on base yet africkingain.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
And steals 2nd ….. again.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Good throw by Sammons,

HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Beckham singles, runners on the corner
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
5-1 on FC
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
BMac says he won’t start tomorrow’s game.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Ross starting,
giving Heap some rest for opening day.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
He deserves the day of rest.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
That makes
Literally no sense. Could not make less sense if you wrote it backwards.
If McCann was going to sit tomorrow to ‘rest’ why did he start tonight in a game that doesn’t count?
How on earth could that be?
jjschiller - April 2, 2010
reply fail
Meant to put that under ‘rest for Opening day’
jjschiller - April 2, 2010
Either way, I took it as…. giving Heap a day to rest before Opening Day so he would be well rested for it.
But she can clarify if she wishes.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Makes perfect sense when read that way.
I misread.
jjschiller - April 2, 2010
543 DP, inning over
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
We needed that!
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
I think most of the guys,
have deserted us.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Maybe so. No matter, you’re great company :-)
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Ahhhhh :)
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Beginning 7th 5-1 Sox
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Jenks smoked HP ump
Ouch…
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Heinske sp?,
smoked one up the middle with 2 outs
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Hinske, sorry
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Matt Young,
almost got one out.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Inning over
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
I hope they get the anemic offense at “The Ted” out of their system tonight.
This is not fun to watch.
Once again, a pitcher we see first time kicks our collective butts.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
No it's not,
Where are the ones that told us to be patient? They must have given up themselves :)
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
HeyJude, I just noticed you have a new avatar.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Yep,
Just changed it last night. You have a new one from last year also, right?
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Nah, kept the same one. I’m lazy.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Saito pitching the 8th.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
2 on and 0 outs…
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Suit Tommy up :)
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
and is not looking good,
runners on 1st and 2nd.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Thankfully a K for out 1
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Pop-Up for out 2….
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Full count…. popped up to cetner – Young gets it for OUT 2.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
Thanks for the “details” carpengui – I’ve had too much wine to try and remember the player names at this point.
Enough that I read your “cetner” as “center”. LOL
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Youhad t2 much win an u thnk I typd it wong??
carpengui - April 2, 2010
Ok that’s not fair – not fair at all.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Funny
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
And it’s sad that I could read that perfectly well.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
PBP appreciated
I’ve lost all feeds. Computer is sick.
Bubdylan - April 2, 2010
Saito gets out 3 by a K!
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Curve – strike 1. Another one fouled back. High Fball fouled back.
Another one chased – END OF INNING on K.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
saito
looking good, getting out of a jam
atl192485 - April 2, 2010
Yes, he did
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Sorry I’ve been in and out… church service and family in town…
carpengui - April 2, 2010
I love your organ avatar. Do you play?
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Yep – piano mostly (that’s what I did tonight at church!)
carpengui - April 2, 2010
It’s a beautiful instrument.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Sadly getting rare — I like what synthes can do, but I’d a traditionalist at heart… works for a baseball fan, too.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
I think – the Braves still use an organist don’t they?
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Good for you :)
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
carpengui - April 2, 2010
Infante singles to left to open ’er up.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
Calling all the Brooksy fans….he’s at the plate.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
And unfortunately pops it up in foul territory for out 1.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
C'moooonnnn, Brooksy.
Do what Thurston would do.
Bubdylan - April 2, 2010
Shoot.
Thursty wouldn’t do dat.
Bubdylan - April 2, 2010
I still like him,
but he got out played by Thurston in ST, imho.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
wish I could watch
my PAID MLB subscription isn’t working. MLB.com is having serious issues.
Cooper'sTown - April 2, 2010
Okay, so it's not just mine.
Good to know.
Bubdylan - April 2, 2010
I lost it about 15 minutes ago.
It keeps screwing up my computer, too.
Cooper'sTown - April 2, 2010
THis is the first game I’ve found on TV so far this Spring – Sports South in N. Alabama.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
Cable's for squares.
Wish I were square. :(
Bubdylan - April 2, 2010
I paid for the MLBN,
just to watch the Braves ST games, and they blacked the games out in my area every time including tonight.
Thank God for SS.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Yeah, even if I buy the “Extra Innings” package on my cable – they warn me that the Braves games will likely be blacked out. I’m in NC for goodness sake – it’s not like I can hop in the car and drive to the game.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
I can’t even get the MLB Braves site to load.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
my ability to get that page comes and goes.
Cooper'sTown - April 2, 2010
That's me, too.
Just the red backdrop followed by an eternal progress bar.
Bubdylan - April 2, 2010
I’m getting that alot, and my “back” arrow doesn’t work half the time. Wonder if there’s a April fools virus around
bighop - April 2, 2010
That didn’t last long… Sammons GIDP.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
offense fell asleep yesterday, hope it wakes up by Monday
bighop - April 2, 2010
THIS.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Sammons hits into dp.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
carpengui - April 2, 2010
Wags Time. 1-1 to #85… strike two.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
He needs to keep the beard.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Huh. #85 drove one into center for a single.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
Jordan Danks – finally got his name.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
Ocho cinko.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
1-2 to Nix. Fastball rides in and hits Nix.
TWO ON; NONE OUT.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
Wags hit the batter
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Maybe I should be glad I can't watch this game!
Cooper'sTown - April 2, 2010
yes, you should
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
It hasn’t been pretty
bighop - April 2, 2010
It’s not one for the scrapbook.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Sigh.
I mean, losing’s one thing. But can we get something good going for a half inning to hang our hats on?
Bubdylan - April 2, 2010
How ‘bout – we’ll never play THIS game again.
Geez, talk about not showing up.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
I hope Kimbrel and Proctor will be able to come up later in the season, if needed.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Quentin up.
Inside – ball 1. Sky high for ball two… Good strike outside.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
I'm trying Google Chrome instead of IE
just for kicks
Cooper'sTown - April 2, 2010
chrome
is better
atl192485 - April 2, 2010
still can't get the game
Cooper'sTown - April 2, 2010
Count your blessings :)
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Curve for strike two freezes the batter. 2-2.
Grounded foul toward the 3rd base coach.
Curve just missed. Full count.
Bases loaded. Nooooobody out.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
Bases loaded in the 9th
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Loaded, no outs, not a save situation, Wagner at 96
bighop - April 2, 2010
An April Fool's joke by Wags.
One day late?
Bubdylan - April 2, 2010
It’s April 2nd, so I’m afraid the joke is on us.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Strike 1 to #74.
Strike 2… 2 fastballs.
A little high — 96, 95, 96.
82 breaker… fouled off.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
Heads up for tomorrow -
4pm game on FSS.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
HIt batter — RUN SCORES. 6-1
carpengui - April 2, 2010
Ok, I'm just gonna say it,
the BP sux tonight. Geez, as Wags hits another batter.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Not really sure it hit him, but he sold it.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
And how. I think it didn’t hit him by the replay.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
and when you've already hit a batter that inning,
your more likely to get the call.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Andruw lofts one to the warning track…. OUT. Sac Fly. RBI. 7-1.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
Andruw almost got one out, knocked in another one.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Ok, I’ve seen us score 8+ runs in a inning before….. can we do it again?
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
I already feel bad for Joe and Tommy,
having to call this 7-1 game, the worst we’ve looked all ST.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Now that the damage has been done…
Double Play
END OF HALF INNING.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
carpengui - April 2, 2010
Twelve hits for the Pale hosers.
Eight for the home team.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
I'm watching the game again!
Finally. Now I’ll be able to see that amazing come back.
Cooper'sTown - April 2, 2010
Santos in to pitch… converted shortstop one year ago and made the team.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
Freeman rally cap
Cooper'sTown - April 2, 2010
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Much better reply than I deserved.
Thanks. :)
Cooper'sTown - April 2, 2010
Doesn't really make sense.
I guess what I was saying was that I am excited about the double, and now I have my rally cap on.
Cooper'sTown - April 2, 2010
DOUBLE FOR FREDDIE
carpengui - April 2, 2010
Can we lend them our bullpen the rest of the way?
(puts on rally cap)
Bubdylan - April 2, 2010
Sorry, Acosta is now a Met.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
Grounder to Short… that’s not a good place to hit it tonight.
ONE OUT. Sorry, didn’t catch the hitter.
Thurston now up.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
it was brent clevlen
atl192485 - April 2, 2010
Santos played 2nd last year, and is pitching this year, wow, that was a fast turn around.
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
2-1 pitch short-hopped into Right field -a rocket.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
I'm Thursty for a drink of hitting.
(facepalm)
Bubdylan - April 2, 2010
Thurston robbed,
but Freddie scored
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
Scorcher by Thurston to score Freeman.
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Thurston's way of asking the Braves front office:
Are sure you didn’t want to keep me instead of Conrad?
Cooper'sTown - April 2, 2010
game over on a DP
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
MItch Jones up to bat…. grounder to second ENDS THE GAME / GIDP.
carpengui - April 2, 2010
FINAL
carpengui - April 2, 2010
Alas, it was not meant to be....
NCChopper - April 2, 2010
Drive home safely!!
carpengui - April 2, 2010
It's gonna be better tomorrow,
see y’all then!
HEYJUDE - April 2, 2010
4pm tomorrow - we'll try again.
