Open Thread 4/23: Braves at Mets Overflow

Fear them. They're coming.

Fear them. They're coming.

Braves and Mets are tied in a pitching showdown battle of bad offenses at Citi Field tonight. Chipper drove in the lone run for the Braves in the 3rd and rookie Ike Davis hit a solo HR to put the Mets on the board in the 5th.

GO BRAVES.

BOTTOM SIXTH. All tied up... just like the Brave bats.
Offense

has me pissed, lets turn this around, cuz we look pathetic

OK

Hold ‘em here, KK. Maybe we’ll get Takahashi out of the game at some point.

MELKY WITH A GOOD CATCH!!

+Fisted

Melk man doing something useful

im shocked

Great play there

Melky with another great catch!

FISTED TO LEFT

Castillo must be hating this D

Our outfield picked up a few tricks from the Phillies, I think.
haha

If so, I’m all for that.

Seriously

The Ole song?

KK is throwing a lot of hangers.
Reyes is gonna have a triple...

Fuck!

we got out of it last time...

with less outs

KK is starting to get pounded. Get someone up Bobby.

God, Reyes can fly…

That was apparently "rifled"

At first I thought it might have been fisted, too.

that was definitely driven

Why is he so fast

What’s with the NFL type celebratin’

the flying Jheri curl

I HATE THE METS!!! GO DIE REYES!

Oh my gosh. Get KK out.

ugh

worst team ever

Lots and lots of hard hit balls off of KK the last two innings.
Back-to-back triples? WTF?

Does that EVER happen? EVER!?

GO DIE! ALL OF YOU!!!

Bleargh!

Bay with a triple.

ha

we aren’t a 4th place team but we sure are playing like one

KK always seems to blow it 3rd time through the lineup
Reyes scores :(

Oh my god is that Michael Jackson?!??

Rick James (bitch)

LOL that is not Rick james

It came up when I googled Jheri curl

incredible losing to the mets pathetic
Yeah you're right

being down 1 run to a kinda bad team is terrible. That never happens to good teams.

see my post earlier today about ‘its not too early too worry about the braves offense’

it is

You are completely and utterly wrong.

This is game 16 of 162. Hush.

I bet it was a sweet post

Sorry….I get angry a lot :( don’t get mad at me.

Why is KK still in the game?

that is a good question

due up top 7?

Batting order reasons? Just now getting somebody ready?

Kawakami due up 2nd next inning.

Dude, KK goes from shutting teams down to exploding on cue in the 5th and 6th all the time.

Hell, my grandma could hit doubles on some of these pitches
Wowza...

It’d be 6-1 if the wind wasn’t blowing in.

This. An no one up in the bullpen for us.

NOOOOOOOOO
im going to slam a pie in someones face.

Keep it at 2 here KK
"There is nobody up in the Braves bullpen."

WTF!?!?!?

Nobody up in the pen

What the hell?

Seriously.

What. The. Hell.

Not fooling anybody

at least we traded for Melky friggin Cabrera in the off-season. All is well

we traded

for Arodys Vizcaino. Cabrera was just a throw in

And for -12 million dollars.

You’ve came into the thread and said nothing but negative comments. Shut the fuck up.

+1

Seriously dude. It can’t be fun just trolling like this. Have some faith in your team.

oh come on Bobby move your ass and send someone to the pen
3-0

Bobby…hello? Are you going to the bathroom or something?

BOBBY GET YOUR BUTT OUT THERE

Actually, it’s cake.
Is this happening to anyone else? When I click reply my old posts show up in the reply box.

Oh chipper, WTF?!!?

C'mon, Chip!

Gotta make that play for KK.

Oh geeze. Come on Chip.

Chipper

come on you had that one

I think Heap distracted him a bit…but it should have been made.

way to sacrifice that body, there chip

Yup…the guy who everyone gets pissed at for missing games. He should have dove head first into the dugout to catch that.

Bobby was like WTF?

FYF up...lets do it
I think it's time for KK to have an "injury"
worked for Maine and the Mets

Error for Chip, and rightfully so

isn't this supposed to be the thread for runs for US? not the mets

……
HereComesBream is not amused.

Venters in the BP.

Chipper

should have stretched

brian jordan was right

beat ya to it!

Nope, mad’s post is on top.

according to my screen

mine is on top

Brian Jordan is an idiot.

Agreed.

And so is anyone who says “Brian Jordan was right.”

please

I love Chipper and mine was in all sarcasm. I think BJ is an idiot if you were around for the game a couple nights ago, I made that clear.

I wasn't targeting anyone in particular.

But at least three people said “Brian Jordan was right” already in this thread.

really?

i can only hope they weren’t serious. chipper is the most underrated hitter of our generation, IMO, and i’d want him on my team until his obliques fell off

His obliques fall over regularly...

He just keeps duct taping them back on – along with several other body parts.

Brian Jordan was right.

Or just not stopped going towards it?

Opposing teams should love us

we make them all look Great!

Maine out due to pulling his left (glove) arm elbow while stuffing his face with with chew.

professional much chip?

if you dont knock it off

you’re gonna get banned. This is your warning.

Just wondering, who’s gonna get banned?

not you…we like you!

what about me?

umm…i don’t know you well enough to speculate. i know everyone hates me,

/hangs head

Hate? More like LOATHEEEEE

I don’t hate you!
Here have a donut!

make it bacon.

A bacon donut? Does that work?

Candied Bacon is both deadly and delicious.

nonono, not a bacon doughnut...

just bacon. period.

I was joking about frenchy.

The guy he’s replying to.

yep

that’s usually the guy I’m talking to whenever i hit the little +reply button. I know that’s a confusing concept tho.

Wait…so that’s what that button does!?

whoa

it moves my post over too

this new learning amazes me, Bedevere

please explain again how sheep’s bladders may be incorporated to prevent earthquakes

Is my logic that I’d rather forfeit an out than lose Chipper for several games due to an injury because of a collision trying to get that ball? Granted, there likely wouldn’t have been a collision, but I understand Chipper’s caution.

Well I didn’t finish my question… haha, but “Is my logic wrong?” was the gist of it.

Agree to an extent.

But I think its one he should have caught without too much strain.

Oh my god what is Frenchy doing in a Mets uniform? Is this a joke?
Good move trading him, will make the Mets horrible!

Yeah, it’s breaking news.

Please, don't let Frenchy beat us...

Please?

We’re already losing…

Omg the mets fans are going Fraaaaancouer! FRAAAAANCOUER!
it’s FRENCHY, not Francouer…

I tried positive - I really did....

But these drugs aren’t strong enough to overcome this team’s play of late.

I feel a walk coming on. He can’t keep letting FYF foul pitches off and get him out.

You're right

but not b/c of KK…

Gah wtf. FYF won’t die

Put this fool away, KK.

I just don't understand what happens to KK

69 pitches through 5IP and 2x through the order. And boom, 3rd time through we get the 30 pitch inning that never ends.

oh gah. here we go again

De-fense! De-fense!
1 ER in the last 4 opposing SPs for us.

I really feel sorry for our pitchers knowing they must be perfect or they lose.

Sweet defense.

Wait...

I think I’ve seen this post before…

lol, we’re going to have an over/under count of this phrase next OT.

Come on Omar! This inning is horrible.

“The night mare in the sixth continues!” newsflash Chip: Youre NOT HELPING!

WHY WON'T BOBBY TAKE HIM OUT!?

I feel like crying…

relax

KK due up first next inning

I know. DIDN’T CARE!!

You can't let that dictate when to pull a guy

unless it’s in extra innings or something. KK should have been pulled like 5 batters before because he was getting creamed. Screw the batting order or double switch.

Damn you Escobar, you lazy bast— Oh, wait.

The Mets have their hand on the flood gate lever.

FINALLY IT ENDS!!

Mercifully…

Omar makes a catch

3 errors today. Ugh. Someone needs extra fielding practice.

Fixed

Someone needs extra fielding batting practice

ok

well Infante didnt mess that one up

Whew

hopefully no more takahasi — his spot is due up next

Could’ve been worse the way he was getting knocked around.

Yeah

Bobby is very lucky we’re only down 2

Ok...inning over.

Only 2 runs crossed, bad as it may seem. Once they pull Takahashi I think we can get to their pen!

I think so!

But first we have to make them pull Takahashi.

And I'm back, with a 24 pack of Natty Ice that it looks like I'm gonna need
And I know I know, Natty Ice? 13.59 is worth the headache I'll have in the morning

I’d settle for the 6-pack of Dogfish Head for $13.59 than any amount of Natty.

Gut rot.
Haha, I just bought dinner for my cousin and her boyfriend so I'm trying to budget!
Heh

They should’ve bought you beer in gratitude!

Defeats the gesture! Now I have to catch up with the draft and the game all at once
Haha, you're not missing much on the game...

And the draft has consisted of a bunch of DLinemen and DBacks being taken. A lot of reaches too.

Have the Broncos picked since taking that guard/tackle from utah?
Don't think so.

Zane Beadles! What a name.

Seriously, perfect fit for a guard for the Broncs.
Let's go!

we still got time to do this, go go go braves!!!!

I think I’m going to jump off a building.

14 errors, 16 games = 7 runs scored
This needs to improve.

wow, that’s ugly

Ohhh. Look who wants so much? Look who demands that people paid to play baseball perform as such? :P

well

if only our offense could score runs it woud be nice

Ok offense! Let’s go 1-2-3 here

Can I say – I am sick and tired of this graphic!

Wait didn’t you post that graphic just now…???
confusion

Yep, and I’m tired of needing to.

We need Moylan to bring back the Rally Head

another good start for kk

Sad

that we’ve only scored 3 runs in his 3 starts.

tomorrow's chipper's b-day

braves are 9-1 on his birthdays

Lets make it 10-1!

Here we go now. Top 7th = runs time.

Andruw has another HR tonight. He’d look pretty good in our lineup right about now.

He'd probably go 0-30

after Bobby put him leadoff.

this nostalgically

ATTA BOY O! RIght as I cracked the first beer!

I remember my first beer.
Your grandmother is a, how do you say it in English? oh yes, WHORE
Hooker! Prostitute! Schlut for money!

OMAR! Nice job 2B

Infante, looking good

INFANTE!!

He’s the man!

10YR/$180MILLION, AND THE KEY TO THE CITY

Way to go Omar.
Omar wth another - now don't waste it dammit!

Yeahhh buddy!

MattyD time.

Omar has 3 of 5 hits tonight

Omar’s a weird name.

i <3 the wire
never seen it

but heard nothing but good things about it

Best series ever.

it would have to work hard

to overcome my all-time faves

give it a chance

eventually, i will.

but i don’t really have the time to commit to a new show right now

Yeah, this is the type of show that you will watch 4 episodes in a sitting.

i'm trying to get into mad men

because i like what i’ve seen, but i just DON’T HAVE THE TIME! grr…

I’ve heard it’s a really slow show, but a really good one.

slow doesn’t bother me a bit if the story’s good

Good. The Wire unfolds like a novel, and some people don’t like that.

what do you think of Treme?

Matty D failed

Come on Nate! Let’s get it going

Matty needs to chill a little, he looks more anxious than in the past

Getting mooned by Snitker.

Fail
we fail as a baseball team.

Dude, what are you on?

I think it's called pre-teen :(

did mets’ maine get hurt

Yeah

His non-throwing elbow was twitchy.

We do not fail.

We just don’t succeed sometimes.

Work him nate

Marteeeny Weeeny and Chip are next.

And if they blow this chance, Martini and Rossi might be up after that.

Take the walk Nate!

Do not swing 3-0 Nate, don’t do it.

Infante to second

Prado to first
Hinske to left

/irrational small sample size rabble

Wait, Chip can use the internet?

Does he type with his fists?

He types with boxing gloves on.

like StrongBad!

Compy peed the carpet.

He said he types fast...

He must fist the keyboard fiercely.

According to Gamecast, 1 of these 6 pitches have been in the zone.

Make that 2 of 8.

he types better right-handed

McLouth is imitating the Phillies hitters with all the foul balls.

Fouls off the balls, takes the strike. Oh well.

Nate loses the battle

Nate with a K
Trifecta for him as well

Goddamnit. What happened there?

FUCK-A-YOU WHAAAALE! AND A-FUCK-A-YOU TAKAHASHIIII!!!!
Come on...

Lets just pick up this one run…one at a time…please??

YES!!

I take credit for this one.

3-0…. to K. Ay de mi

Infante steals third....wheeeee
Paid off!

Prado with the 1B to knock him in!

ODARP! Nice job

I’d love to have Infante on my fantasy team, but he doesn’t get enough ABs to take up a spot on my roster.

He also

doesn’t walk or hit for power. He’d be great in the AVG category though.

I have too many power guys on my team as it is… most of whom aren’t even hitting for power at the moment… I’d really like Fielder to step it up.

Marteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnn!

Chipper Bomb....do it

Odarp with the RBI. :-)

Marteeen!

What would be do without this guy.

we would be in hell
our team avg would be lower than .220, which is unthought of

yeah

There's this thing called a "reply" button

use it.

FINALLY

TAKAHASHI OUT!!!!!!!!!!!

We win!

Seriously, I think we’re going to win now.

good freakin' bye!
I LOVE YOU PRADO!!

HE KNOCKED TAKAHASHI OUT OF THE GAME!! TIME TO POUNCE ON THE NEXT GUY!!

Takahashi gone. And with our warmest regards.

One more run! One more run!

Let’s go Chipper! clap clap clapclapclap

First Pitch.

Gapper.

I’m confused, I thought the only way to score a run was hitting the ball over the fence in the outfield …

Bring in I’ll Cost Ya!

Raul Valdes is next

And how is he? Please tell me we’ve seen him before.

I've never even heard of him

and I researched their ’pen a lot for my articles…

Pretty sure he is a 20 year old rookie.

First year in the bigs

32 years old

probably not good at baseball

Weird. When I click reply my old comments show up in the texty-typy-thingymagiggy-box.

Manny! Manny! Manny!

i like him loads better now
Who is the Mets pitcher... and who is due up?

Chip?

I don’t mind but when is some else besides prado,chip, mccan, and heyward tear up the ball?

That’s half the batters. The best half.

This would be a good spot for Chipper to get warmed up for his birthday rampage against the Mets tomorrow...
Oil Spill looking a bit wild

Is anyone besides me getting crazy lag on posting now?

Yes.

If this ever shows up, you’ll know.

Yes.

If this ever shows up, you’ll know.

I'd post a new thread

except my internet is wacky and I’m not sure if it’d actually post

I don’t mind but when is some else besides prado,chip, mccan, and heyward tear up the ball?

Hopefully soon…

Tonight, Omar
arrg

Oh well. We scored!

I’m eating arbys.

Here’s a thought. Stop spamming the thread with useless bullshit.

I second that!
You didn't even know Frenchy was not a Brave anymore.

You can’t be a Braves fan:(

Well, at least we got one back.
Time to post:

1 commercial break.

BOTTOM SEVENTH. 2-3 GAME, METS.

Thread seems to have slowed down.

On the bright side, Heyward isn't leading off next inning....Mac will hit first.

I think the llamasaurus in the headline pic did it.

Pickin’ machine

Nice grab by Hinske

Did everyone else’s TC thread crash?

Really slow

We need a new one

you think so?

this one is only on 400+ comments

Omar is too hood for this thread. He must be slowing it down.

Well maybe not

it’s working better now…

Yeah, it hung for a while until I refreshed.

It’s sped up now after I refreshed the page.

My typing finger hurts.

Dude, shut the fuck up.

Go let your Mother kiss it!
Oh yeah, that time of the game...

Saito is only 1 of 2 MLB pitchers in history

to have a career WHIP < 1.00 and K rate > 9 per 9

interesting fact

One that Bill Hohn is apparently blissfully unaware of.

Where was that pitch?!

In the strike zone.

Seriously.

He’s been calling that all night.

Don’t argue or someone in the thread gets tossed.

Heyjude:
my reply thingymagiggy isn’t working so I’d just like to tell you I did know about the Frenchy trade. I was joking. He just looks so weird in a Mets uniform!

Get off of here kid,

your slowing us down with your BS!

that was a K for Takawhateverhisnamewas

4 pitches ago, this comment was relevant.
Delay made it not so much.

…..Let’s go braves!

FOCUS on the freakin batter Saito.

again?

/facepalm

FOCUS ON REYES.

EOF or venters
That's like asking a blow job or a hand job.

Are you really gonna complain either way?

Ok I’m gonna go now….so bye everyone!!

Be nice to see a Vidro here.

that’d be hard with all the speed, but yeah. i’d love one.

Chip sounds like a Met fan right now.

WHERE WAS THAT?!

no clue…looked fine

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Hahn decided to stop calling strikes

Don't give it away, Saito!

Come on, lets see an out here!

maybe after this game hohn will fistpump with the catcher again
WTF IS THIS SHIT
WTF!?

THEY DROPPED IT!? AND THEN DIDN’T COVER HOME!? WTF!?!?!?!?!?

Ummmm. Someone spin that positive?

At least a meteor didn’t hit the stadium.

Heyward is still on the team….

still got the out on the infield fly

The guy who scored is named Angel...

Oh my word…..

What the hell is this?

what the hell happened?
GOD. DAMN. BILL. HOHN.
Bobby needs to bench

Chipper

Dude, shut the fuck up. You’ve been nothing but negative the entire night. It isn’t funny and is very old.

I’ll be glad when spring training is over and the season starts

We played Great in ST. I wish we could go back.
WHAT HAPPENED?
nothing good
Infield fly,

Then Pagan advanced home due to the fact that our players didn’t know that time was called…and no one covered home.

Reyes pops up. Infield fly called, Chipper drops it. Ball rolls towards home, runners advance to 2nd and 3rd. Ball is fielded but the Braves just stand around looking at each other with no one covering home.

I swear they're TRYING to lose this game...

ohhhhhhh noooooooooooooooooooo

Wow, what seemed like a huge play turns into ultimate fail.

can someone tell me wtf happened?

Pop fly was called infield fly. Chipper dropped the ball and the runners advanced. then no one covered home and the runners scored while the Braves talked to the umps.

Chipper didn’t just drop the ball…him and Infante with no communication whatsoever. Should have been Infante’s call.

Both dudes look lost. We need Esco out there.

In all honesty, Infante was shoulder to shoulder with Chipper and hit him as he was going for the ball.
Just like Heap was coming in fast with the one in foul territory in his line of vision.
Now, he should have made both plays – but I can see how he could have had difficulty.

The entire team is playing sloppy tonight.

God damnit

my head hurts from facepalming so much.

HEAD...HIT...KEYBOARD...

note to bobby cox: no free meats and cheese after the game

FAIL

describes this team right now

Still just a two run game with the possibility of Acosta coming in. It’s alright.

Do you think we’re that lucky.

3 run now.

This game is getting away from us. Self inflicted too, which hurts the most.

game over.

Does that mean you’re leaving?

Sigh

They’ve lost this game…

Might as well turn this game off

with this offense
we will just strike out

I'm going to keep watching and drinking.

You bunch of fuckin Negative Nancies!

Lol

Natty never put me in a good mood. Way to stick with it!

I'm not in a good mood, but by God I'm in a the sky is not falling mood! haha
Love it! lol

Wow. Bill finally calls a strike a strike!

THATS A STRIKE!

Are you shitting me Bill?

all we need to do is pop up the ball

and hope they drop for base hits

COME ON BRAVES!! they don't have good bullpen

lets mount a damn rally and kick the mets ass!!! we got heyward, we can do this!!

Omar with a sweet pick for out 3

please tell me

Omar is gonna come up with runners on base

if we can get 3 off madson, we can get 4 off k-rod, right?

at least the Phillies arent winning…..they’re in the top of the first

rally rally

the pitcher’s name is Sally

Wow, this is a first. I get text updates on my phone about the game.It reads, “1 run, defensive indifference.”

lol

Nice. Fairly accurate, too.

The Mets are making us look like the Mets.

this game is not over till we say its over!

COME ON!

Pedro Filiciano...

this guy isnt dead yet? He’s been around forever.

oh come on we can hit that guy a lot!
1 for each batter

Zagnut

The new rally cap.

Well that darn cap sure ain’t working.

TOP EIGHTH... down 2-5.

Heap and Hey to start vs, Feliciano.

No worries. Its the mets. We got this.

POSITIVE POWA!!

great graphics nc

thanks – I try

The 4th pitch was in on Brian’s Zagnuts

HaHaha – I think you’re right.

I'm a Gonzaga Bulldogs fan.

Does that mean I’m a Zagnut?

is Feliciano a lefty? cause if he his we have very little chance of winning

Bring THE POWAH, Troy.

He put it in play at least…

i feel

a Troy hit coming up

damn it

so close

More bad luck for Glaus

Just not squaring it up.

And terrible break. Just the way tonight is going.

And by ‘just not squaring it up’, I mean McCann and Heyward.

“F***. What the hell was that?” he says. Haha

Anyone know how many games (so far) we’ve only scored 2 runs?

It looks like we are destined to lose this one.

We certainly aren't playing to win.

4 errors, a lot of bad swings. Need to wash our hands of this effort once its over.

aww come on

please hit the damn ball

I wish we had 9 Infantes out there.

He can pitch too?

It wouldn’t matter. He wouldn’t have recorded an out. We’d still be in the first inning.

omar infante=jamal crawford
wait

runs charged against saito were earned?

Every single player I saw on every one of my fantasy team’s had a bomb tonight. That’s a first.

even the pitchers??

Ha, that’d be something. Unfortunately not.

just wait til you play my team

your pitchers will out hit my hitters AND out pitch my pitchers.

Every single player on my team...

Has been a bucket of failure tonight. At least I mistakenly started Cueto instead of Arroyo today.

yeah bring it troy right off the pitchers ankle

The only way we win this is if....

Infante and Prado get to take turns batting in the 9th. No one else – just those two.

Thank you, Citi Field.

seriously, this place feels massive

first pitch swing

thats the FYF i remember

Nate has been getting a workout in center

Glad Frenchy premature there.

That's not what she said.......:)

:-)

you 2 are my favorites. you both post a lot and never once annoy me…which can’t be said about many of the posters on here.

I’m going to have to agree.

I’m honored to be in the same company as HeyJude.
Thanks y’all. :-)

See, 3 runs for KK should not be devastating. But until we learn to support our pitchers more it is.
I can’t wait until we turn this trend around. Hopefully before July.

Derek L:owe

should pitch every day. we support him alot

except the last game against the phillies
next inning leading off melky, infante and ph

probably over

Gotta get it back to Prado so he can win it for us.....

+they should pinch hit for Melky…

who is going to pinch hit? Conrad? not much of a difference, or we could use Ross
escobar, I forgot he was benched or resting
Hell yes!

Escobar and Ross…but only Escobar if there’s someone on base….and not on first base…

serious bad luck again

Dink and dunk.

But they’ve been mashing it today. Frankly, we’re lucky its within 3.

Has our bullpen ever been this good?

not that I can remember

and dont forget Kimbrel, Proctor and/or Dunn could be on the way soon.

Not that I can recall.

Our pen

was pretty good that year when we had Remlinger and Darren Holmes. Remlinger had a great year. I forget which year it was.

Where can I buy this Zagnut bar before the next inning starts…

Hopefully K-Rod has thrown 100+ warmup pitches
yunel is 3 for 4 with 2 2Bs against k-rod, wonder if he gets to PH

Get us started Melky! K-Rod pitched a ton yesterday.

One more time...

I need a save from K-Rod to break the tie and get the point in my fantasy team. Haha, but I sure hope I lose that point…

Please don't be an automatic out Melky...please?
venters is good as hell
This.

I have been impressed with him.

GOOOO MELKY!!

HE HIT THE BALL! AND IT WASN’T CAUGHT!!

YAY

We’ll take it. Nice work, Melkman.

The guy waving behind the plate should be shot.

YES

leadoff hit

LET'S DO IT.

Photobucket

Riley the Rally Dog to our rescue!

There's Riley .......
YAY!!!

I have a new Riley pic too….

Infante failed us :(

He’s still MVP of the night to me, though.

First pitch swinging…ugh…

another damn 1st pitch out

McLouth? can he do it again?
ugh

Omar. Lets go ESCO

Just get on base here Esco…

Ball gets away, Melky advances!

Escobar can’t GIDP!

Melky to second

Esco cant GIDP now YES

YAY

NO GIDP OPPORTUNITY

Terrible sunglasses, Franky…

Are those actually sunglasses? If so, why the fuck is he wearing them at 10pm at night?

I just noticed they are clear lenses.

So he can watch you weave then breath your story lines.

you just don’t have New York style.

K-Rod = WILD!

Kinda makes that 1 pitch out by Prado worse.

*Infante

But yeah, that does look bad.

Oops, thanks. I’m a bit fuzzy still – meds kicking in I took a half hour ago.

Base on Balls

YES

For the love of god, McLouth…please be patient

Sweetness!

Good eye!

Good walk for Yunel
LET'S GO NATE!!! GET THAT SECOND HR!!
Mclouth!! please please please be patient!
Nasty Nate

can do this

MAKE HIM THROW YOU A STRIKE.

ducks on the pond

K-Rod is all over the place....

I have hope!

I swear, if we tie this game I will run naked through my neighborhood

Pictures! I demand pictures!

What’s with the guy in the suit and the skullcap?

Francine Rodriguez is sucking hard

K-Rod is to saves as Derek Lowe is to wins.

WHEEEEEEEE

3 balls to Nate…

Damn…full count now.

Ugh 3-2

it’s your time Nate. Do iiiiiiit.

full count for Nate

come on you can do it

C'mon Nateeeeeeee

time for another nate HR

SOOOOOOOOOOOO CLOSE

OEIWNFOSIdEFSDFN

SO CLOSE

NATE JUST MISSED THAT!!

OH GOD!! SO CLOSE NATE

UGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

NOOOO

SO CLOSE

FUCK

that’s like 3 this year. DAMN!

O M G !
I thought…… damn the bad luck.

I thought I was going to run naked!
Nate stays alive....fouls it off

oh carlton soooo close

shitty wind, shitty park!, gotta be a mets park!
I'm so glad that one was foul...

Sweet sassy molassy this is nerve-racking…

DAMN'T!!

Strike 3 call :(

OMFG

Why was you bat on you shoulder there?!?

Nate ugh

i believed in you

gotta swing the bat….

What the fuck is he looking at…that’s twice he’s just stood there and watched it go by

Nate has run 12 miles tonight in the field – and battling here again – so gotta say well done no matter what.
And, that’s better than a vidro.

Nate did put up a good fight there.
Still...

gotta swing at that.

damn it Bill Hohn

OUTSIDE OF THE PLATE

the zone expanding now

Come

on Prado!!! Win it for us!

Come on Marteeeen

That was right there.

prado hit, chipper bomb?!
And Prado strikes out :(

Game over…

Just a complete clusterfuck of a game…what a disaster.

i missed the first 6 innings, but i got caught up on the theme pretty quick after listening on the radio driving home.,

Misery is over
ugh

so many errors

fuck this game

Weak effort by prado

terrible game for us

1pm day game tomorrow

Hahahahahahahaha. Time to go get faded.

Not a game we deserved to win. Oh well.

agree, too many stupid plays, too many errors, bad calls and bad at bats
Passing the pig...

more like the glue bottle for the gloves

Damn

maybe we can win tomorrow. Go Braves and goodnight everyone.

Positivity:

K-Rod and Takahashi probably aren’t gonna be good to pitch tomorrow night, at least.

Hahaha, at least I ended the night with a giggle.

Goodnight, Gracie

we better win the next two!

Got some G&T with my name on it. G’night everyone!

At least the company was good. Nite everyone.

might as well get this slump out of the way now

we’re slumping and we’re above water…

I feel a very awkward interview with Bobby from Jerome Jurenovich forthcoming.

It's an early game tomorrow

first pitch at 1:05EST.

Be here…if you’re gonnna be positive.

So long, kids. KC gettin' verrrry drunky!
Hey everybody!

You picked a bad night to be positive, but good job anyway!
