the facepalm is strong in this one.

Double Play

more fail

getting tired of that
LOL

its hard for me to stay optimistic with this team

just in time for a vidro
last inning for me

lets get a run. and no italics!

yep the italics are gone

and so is the offense

Scoring thread?

Man it feels like we are down by 10 runs.
Rally New Thread!

This is getting to epic proportions is seems

Ok

We are going to have to change the Double Plays from Vidros to Glauses

Pronounced “glasses”

This offense blows
Runz Thread up too late...

This is literally getting hilarious.

i'm seriously about to cry

Fuck you for starting this thread at that particular time. You ruined our inning!!!

like it really matters at this point.

What do you mean? It is 1-0…

Seriously...

Being down 1 run with 4 innings left to play is not that bad.

I know it's not

my point was, does it really matter when I put up a new thread? we’ve had scoring chances all night

I mean we’ve left like 11 runners on base in 5 innings lol

Which means that we are getting on base a ton…

Which means that we are getting on base a ton…

i know

i was just saying that it didn’t really matter when I did the new thread to ruin our scoring chances, cause we’ve had chances every inning.

Sad thing is...

If I didn’t know better, I’d believe you.

And is that 1 run unearned?

I’m out. work and shit to do that I’ve neglected. Call me when we win

I turn on the TV to see Glaus GIDP

whew … i thought you missed it

no more italics. Glaus’ ab was worthless

Oh my...

Oh my…

even shitty teams score runs....i dont get it
usually i'd be thinking of the natinals

but they’re looking pretty good so far

it’s amazing we have enough people to warrant 2 threads per game at this level of play

we may avg. more threads than runs……

i kind of do the math

we’ve had what…2 inning ending DP w/ RISP, right? I figure that’s worth at least 300 “FUCK!!!!!” comments

I'm lurking

Just have nothing to say. This is unbelievable.

I’ve posted around 30 things so that just means it’s probably 40 or 50 ppl doing the same thing.

just checked amazin’ avenue…. we’re winning thread count 2-1

Troy Glaus

Up to third in GIDP

Lets get Henry Blanco back

 LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!! LET’S GO PADRES!!

haha

I needed that

It’s games like this that are gonna drive Tommy to the American League.

Who the hell could blame him?
Or JJ, or KK, or Huddy….

KK probably saw more run support back in the Japaneese league

at least we’ll get to see him on ESPN every other night when he’s with the Yankees.
and Jair with the Red Sox.

ugh. This post makes me sad.

Mike Pelfrey

24 scoreless innings straight?

Hey at least Glaus was really hustling down the line on that double play….wait, nevermind

my head hurts.

byebye.

maybe its a tumor

it's not a tumor!

ITS NOTA TOUMA!!

Castillo

Got that one into the air at least

REYES COMING UP!

STAB! STAB! STAB! STAB! STAB! STAB! OWWWW….MY HAND! STAB! STAB! STAB! DIE REYES!!!!

You rock.

You’re my favorite person on TC so far.

z

Cue Mac throwing one into center like Major League 2. Maybe he needs to think about Playboy Playmates.

Roob Baker...classic
SCORE DAMMIT!

if not for Tommy, then for Bobby! SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it just me…
Or does Frenchy look super dorky in his mets picture? Ya know. The picture they show on the scoreboard, or while showing the lineup? Looks like a bad yearbook picture.

You mean more so than when he sticks his teeth out so far they border the strike zone?

Shut up with this "in effect stolen a run" Miller!!!
Cuss statistic: 2 errors for us and counting ... again

you’ve got your hook in my mouth, ya motherlicker.

well that one guy doesn’t think any of us should curse anymore

That's not what I said,

I said when peeps just jump on here to fuss and curse, not here to discuss Braves baseball.

i dont think im refering to you…didnt you respond to someone else? Id know if it was you.

Postivity

Does anyone remeber when we started 2007 with some sort of perverse Scott Thorman/Criag Wilson “Platoon of Doom” at 1B?

It can get worse.

On the bright side, phillies lost.

Marlins did, too.

Yeah

But I don’t hate the Marlins as much as I hate the Phillies.

what

Joe Morgan just said Hanson’s curveball is slower than Wainwrights?

More SB failure

ugh

can’t throw it to CF if you drop the pitch!!!!!!!!!!

Heap might as well just pocket the ball

That lead off base was unbelievable.

He was standing near 2nd.

Yeah...

Tommy just doesn’t hold guys, and they know it.

Petition to change front page blog titled

Stop worrying, the Braves will be ok

We need a nickname for hanson.

Hanson should be "KK" not the other way around.

Big Red, Tommy Gun, or just Hanson.

Hahahaha….Tommy Gunn…

porn star correct?

Yeah – he was in Pirates and Pirates 2.

I admire your ability to come up with that off the top of your head. Props.

he also co-stared in gentleman, start your zippers.

They told me it was Big Red.

% of Runners thrown out by Heap this year?

< 10%?

SIT DOWN WEINERHEAD!

MY STABBING WORKED!

Reyes goes down again!

nice job

You’d think a New yorker would be use to stabbings, but these seem effective

that’s a whole lotta chewing gum. i love it

if you don’t chew big red…

one of my favorites of all time, that quote.

Hanson’s pitching is just nasty

And so is our batting it seems.

Hanson has all of his pitches working today.. he deserves better

Joses, Joses … STFD.

8 k’s in 5 innings.
I love Tommy Hanson.

The strikeout are nice, but if he doesn’t start getting more FB/GB he’ll never go deep into games.

I hate the offense

wait, there’s none to hate…

anyone see the thing about a gon

on mlbtrade rumors, not wanting to get rid of the farm but in games like this your like why the fuck not!

Because it is just as stupid even in games like this.

you rather gamble for a year of decent for a future of just plain awful.

not saying we should at all, would be devastated if we did. Glaus is just making me sick and a little crazy

ahh gotcha. Glaus is stinky up the joint so far. He can turn it around (hopefully).

i didn’t know someone could move that slow

Vazquez got lit up again today

Do you think we could trade Melky back? Straight up?

i would.. Vaz misses the NL, big time

Because pitching has been our problem?

i think he’s trading him for javys offense…he lays down a mean bunt

haha

would be more than Melky has done so far

Well

I would rather have Javier Vazquez in the rotation than Melky playing everyday

pelfrey taken out yet?
Was still in at the end of last inning

Honestly, I don’t think he goes back out for the 6th. His pitch count was over 100.

pitch count has to be almost 110

Alot of baseball left in this game

as said many many times before

TOMMY HANSON YOU DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER

TOMMY HANSON IS AWESOME!

THAT is how you call for a ball. Good job Esco.

i would prefer he use 2 hands the way things have been going.

this

i was thinking the same thing.

Mets go down! Braves offense coming up...

I seriously questioned if we would catch that pop up.

Braves Country…where every pop up is an Adventure.

Held my breath until it was in his glove.

1 run down

But feels like 8

Everyone watch this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3JUNudVRvo

and send those good vibes for another HR.

never gets old

those were the days.

We need runs, now.. Hanson probably has 1 inning left
Would anyone blame me if I became a Pirates fan for a while?

my dad’s a die hard…..i wouldn’t recommend it.

Yes.

I would blame you.

Dude...

The pirates are awful…
It ain’t over till it’s over!

Come on mets BP, bring the suckiness us braves fans have come to love!

I'm here

and ready to whine

ha, join the crowd

u think glaus is the new greg norton?

At least GN hustled...
norton only got himself out

Glaus laughs at that

if this game gets called? 0-1.. i'm going to be pissed!!!

We’ll just blame it on Bill Hohn.

all umps are against us..

He is the crew chief after all….

rain delayyyyy

Well that sucks

1-0

NOOOOO!!!

Game is getting delayed…

Fucking rain. Go away.

I call the tarp as the P2C!

Even Mother Nature hates us right now.

Bill fucking Hohn trying to hand the game to the Mets….

(sobs uncontrollably)

Your sobs are the reason for the rain.

Bill Hohn thinks your tears are tasty.

Tears of unfathomable sadness?

bill hohn smiles and hopes this game never comes back as it is now official

You beat me to it, dude.

I said it before the season started and I’ll say it again. For this team to score even 1 run they need to get 3 hits in a row. When you have 4 of your 8 hitters under .200 that just isn’t going to work.

God ended Tommy's Night
i'll be pissed

if he has to get taken out by rain delay…

Well, he only would’ve gotten in one more innings with his pitch count. I’d be more pissed if this gets called as a Mets win.

I agree. What a ball club.

*inning……..I give up on typing.

Gay.

Gah! We went through this last thread!

oh brother.. PC PATROL

Aren’t you mature.

I meant “Providence College”.. no offense intended

I meant “happy”

That sucks

since we just completed 5 innings

What’s the ruling for counting as an official game? 4 and a half complete?

4.5 if home team winning
The tarp comes out

precisely at the start of the 6th inning with us down 1-0? That’s not even funny.

that might be the ballgame

They said it’s still an official game. But what do THEY know?

That means its been 5 innings. Facepalm

Jason Heyward just wanted to relax for a couple minutes. So he summoned the rain.

Braves ground crew > Muts ground crew

I hope the rain didn’t mess up Jose’s weave.

is our luck...

…really this bad? wow.

Time for some Simpsons to cheer me up.

shut your face

I'm too lazy to look - who do we play next?

Pujols and the Cards

Does it really matter? :P

STL

oh shit….

Albert pooholes and the cards.

Heyward > Pujols
I wish

Maybe somewhere in an alternate universe

Thanks Everyone :-)

oh damn

I gotta go do the preview for that.

who is that directed at?

what are the chances the game is called?
slim right now
High...

On the Braves radio feed, they just said next hole in weather is scheduled at 1am…

That's only 3 hours...

They routinely wait that long on games.

Last one we had was, what, 4.5 hours?

We were already going to have a late arrival in StL...

If we don’t get out of NY until 3-4 am, we can sure kiss game 1 against the Cards off as a loss

For a day game, sure, but this late in the evening?

I think God is crying...

from watching our offense…

Heyward cries?

THERES NO CRYING IN BASEBALL!

Haha Garret Anderson flew out…glad we got rid of him!

Cyborg Hanson

EXECUTE RETWEET 4-20-10 8:35PM/ @CYBORGHANSON48: HUMAN TEAMMATE GLAUS TROY POSSIBLY A ‘GIDP’ CYBORG /END

Wow

Kelly Johnson has 7 HRs, thats depressing

and we got rid of him, damn

He had his chance with us and didn’t deliver. Who cares?

Terry Pendleton?

That’s so what they said

why didn’t we try him in the outfield?

he'd have 0

with us, he’d be infected with the virus

maybe..

He’s good for absolutely 2 incredible hot streaks per year.. Similar to the one he’s on right now

?!?!??!!?!???!?!?!?!?!

are you serious?

Just checked the radar

Does not look good, I am thinking this one is over

but justinincredible is loving those kelly highlights
Matt Capps has 8 saves... wtf.

fantasy conspiracy

I’m digging it

loving it. He’s on my team…

I'd be ok with Matt Capps getting 143 saves....

I just don’t want him getting any during the games where the Natinals are playing the Braves.

wait

that’d mean they’d win the east, i’d have a problem with that

LOL....good point

Braves still get the wild card, then crush the Natinals in the play-offs, though?

better, no playoffs for the phillies
All it would take is a season ending arm injury to Halladay...

haha that’s bad

Rain Delay Kill Question?

If you can choose any Braves from the past to help with the offense today who would you choose?

I would go with the Crime Dog and say later to Glaus.

Hank Aaron and replace…anybody.

The Big Cat circa 1998

this

galarraga is one of my favorite players

I love this pick.

Henry Aaron. Not even a question.
Better question- Brooklyn Decker or Marisa Miller?

Andy Roddick is right behind you...

fail on my part. Of course the Hammer has to make an appearance.

Hank
Murphy
Justice

Sid Bream

“Here comes bream… The throw to the plate..he iiiiiiiisssss…SAFE! BRAVES WIN BRAVES WIN BRAVES WIN BRAVES WIN!!”

David Justice

my fav player when I was a kid

this

I like Dave as well.

Chipper Jones from 1999-2004
Not 2008?
Those years

He had a better mix of average AND power

He was just hitting for average. Chipper during those years above was cranking out HR left and right.

I’d rather have a guy who hits .360+ with 20+ HRs than a guy who hits .300+ with 30+ HRs. Of course, it all depends on how many guys are getting on base.

I would just want a batter who causes the opposing pitcher to shiver in fear of the thought that he has to pitch to a guy who can crank shit out of the park at any giving moment. We don’t have that at the moment.

Pitchers always fear Chipper, regardless.

I really doubt that. Esp. now.

2005 adruw

He was a beast that year. He carried us to the Playoffs.

EricGreggWasPaidOff, do you have a voodoo doll of Bill Hohn?
Stab him. Please.

Note that he called the game before Heyward had his at-bat

I really hate Bill Hohn.

I'll have to make one for future use...

I should also get a Pujols voodoo doll prepared for the Cardinals series.

Man

Jose Molina needs to teach Heap how to throw to 2nd

yes, McCann threw one two stories above Escobar
4 games with the Cards....

that’s gonna be an ugly series.

Glaus is like 2 holes. And Melky hanging out with Yunel, like I’ve been seeing, is poison. The exact opposite of Javy. Both Yankees. One good. One bad.

Not looking good.

http://www.weather.com/weather/map/interactive/USNY0172?zoom=8&interactiveMapLayer=radar&from=today_media_map

nice. Citi isn’t in the Bronx

Does that mean it’s over then?

Like I said...

Chance high

Stop being so negative!
Stop being ignorant

You think positivity is going to make the rain go away???

seriously. check weather.com. nobody is playing ball up there. jeez
Stop being an ass

You think reminding everyone of the worst case scenario is a good thing???

You think pretending the truth isn't true

is a good thing?

De-nile aint just a river in egypt…

You have a recent history of stating negative things and really beating a dead horse over it. Then, when the opposite of what you’re saying happens – you just shrug it off. Remember the Troy Glaus thing?

I miss Skip and Pete…:(
I got Pete’s new book. Did anyone else?

It should be here tomorrow.

Looks like this game is going to be called

Later Everyone, I guess there is tomorrow… sadly

Arch ESPN!
I hate those commercials.

we might get some baseball in 1hr if the umps are nice

Hohn was spriniting over there to call the game too, before Heyward had his at-bat. The camera cut to him rather abruptly.

just saying…it’s expected

It's not looking good on the radar

I hope they don’t call it. We might have to. We can’t have a double header tommorrow because we’re playing StL.

Hey Scott - how was Riley's checkup?
GOOD!

He’s pretty much out of the woods for good now, but there’s a chance he loses a little feeling where he got bit (which is on his front left leg). Besides that, he’s great

great to hear!

That’s very good news.

So glad for him. Thanks for keeping us updated on him.

that’s good to hear

Nooo not Riley! Riley and the rally cap graphics jinx us! DON’T DO IT

/banned

Oh the graphics are banned?

no

you are for saying the Riler graphics jinx us. Riley brought us wins against Colorado and Philly.

I’ve only posted K graphics tonight pretty much.

i'd like a certain rainbow llama to pay a visit soon =/

I hope we have a reason for it too.

It’s getting pretty restless. Destroyed everything in my apartment

Heh.

You shouldn’t keep it confined in closed spaces for too long.

Well I figured letting it out for wins would have it on a fairly regular exercise schedule. But not this week…

Maybe llamasaurus is crying right now....

That’s what’s causing the rain delay.

Maybe you should put a leash on that thang.

Can you

get it to write a fanpost? Please!

well see everyone tomorrow

Here are some Braves Quizes to pass the time

http://www.sporcle.com/games/tags/atlantabraves

fail

does not work for me

works for me. I love sporcle btw

oh it works now. Nevermind

I’m warning you, it is addictive

I don’t know. The first quiz “Can you name the opening lineup?” seems pretty tough. I can barely remember the lineup for 2005 or 2008 let alone 1988.

haha. I meant in general. Braves stuff is pretty weak, but its one damn good site

Hey now, don’t hate. I made this one:
http://www.sporcle.com/games/SMcGrady/2009_Braves

that’s actually been one of the better ones about the Braves. Most are just obscure knoweldge (ie. opening day 3B). I liked it

Where did you go, Reid Gorecki?
A lonely nation turns its eyes to you

Ugh. That trivia forces me to type in Greg Norton. It seems pretty cool though.

glad you guys enjoy... It can end up consuming your life without you knowing.
fail

Now I am addicted.

can’t say I didn’t warn you

I liked it. I played it last year and I was surprised with some of the answers

like the ex outfielder for the Cards that came up for one game. haha. I didn’t see that game, but i remember it.

only in new york do they get 2 new fields……..both without the roof.

Good point! A billion dollars, but not a cent for a roof.

please? more money out of our pockets?

too f*cking late : )

haha. where’s the brooklyn accent

did the ump called the game/
Hohn

I thought he wasn’t allowed to ump our games?

was that the deal after the big hooplah?

Like I said, as far as I know, they don’t make that stuff public. Nobody knows.

MLB doesn’t care. They just want the game to be call and get it over with. Fairness be damned.

haha. who knows man? stuff probably just gets swept under the rug

or someone got shot by his goons

Since we have some time to kill.....

Goal is 7.5 mil views….

– Thank Your Military -

Movie Question here:

has anyone seen Changeling? It was the movie with Angelina Jolie and was directed by Clint Eastwood.

what about it? I saw it

did you like it? I just finished watching and thought it was really well done

what he said, down there. The only reason I didn’t stop was because it was Eastwood. I really didn’t like it

I would like to extend to you, an invitation to the pants party. The party...with the pants?

well it seems like everyone either really likes it or doesn’t like it at all. I guess i’m one of those who liked it and you didn’t.

I thought it was just okay.

Michael Westin from Burn Notice was weird in his role. Just didn’t buy him all that much

that’s true. it wasn’t fantastic, but I liked it

Saw it...

Wasn’t impressed.

Alright, new movie question:

The Hurt Locker? Like it? Love it? Hate it?

About as unrealistic as Avatar

thank you

i literally have no idea how that movie won Best Movie. I forced myself to watch the entire thing and I still want my 2 hours back.

I mean about as realistic as Avatar

what’s funny is that both comments mean the same thing.

Yes but the first failed to relay the proper amount of sarcasm.

Or perhaps facetiousness? I don’t know. I never know.

Love it

what did you love about it? I’m just trying to figure out why everyone loved it so much. There was no story, the characters were boring and cliched and it went from scene to scene with no real purpose.

Don’t believe in the Academy Awards. It’s high class horseshit. Saving Private Ryan did not win best picture because some assholes said the movie was unrealistic. So they gave it to Shakespeare in Love BS. No thanks.

Eh...

Specific examples aside, I rarely agree with the Best Picture as chosen by the Academy. They tend to go for the pretentious selections, and not which movie was actually the most enjoyable or the best written or overall best acted or any other metric that might make sense.

I agree

I heard they choose movies that need a boost in making money. The greatest travesty of all time has to be “Citizen Kane” not getting the award. It’s such a great film even today.

Pardon my French....

but the rain always fucks Hanson. lol. Always.

Nickname should be The Rain Man.

Tell me aboot it.

It’s ABOUT you Canadian freak!!!!

it used to be good when it rained

First we’ll use Spahn
then we’ll use Sain
Then an off day
followed by rain
Back will come Spahn
followed by Sain
And followed
we hope
by two days of rain.

Spahn and Sain couldn’t win squat with this offense the way it’s playing

Spahn and Sain and, please, NO MORE RAIN!

on a side note….

cut Glaus loose while we’re still treading water. Let Hinske play.

I thought JJ got fucked more often by rain. But yeah – Hanson does, too.

JJ gets robbed pretty much EVERY start he makes

Rain or Not. Look at KK.

That's true..

KK, JJ, Hanson all need a Lowe blister for good luck

KK got royally Jobbed. 3.80 something ERA does not deserve a losing record.

Dude made 20 something starts without giving up more than 2 ER. I think we need a memorial for JJ’s 2009 season. It was amazing. Damn you Offense!

Odds are

that the Braves got to play better than these last 6 days…the lack of fundamental or just a decent mental game have been hard to stomach

With this particular team, and Glaus hitting in the 5 spot, we couldn’t win a game to save our lives.

go home
only if you can tell bmac to start attacking
lol
I should have been like, "I am home, son."

lmao. good stuff.

rofflecopter!

Thank you, new guy. Don’t try the veal!

baby cows. mucho malo. no recommendo.

an old TC account makes you a more fun person to be around? that’s a new one…

i guess. you just said it. not me. noob. lol

i’m going to keep stats on you for as long as it humors me…

first up: “laugh at own joke” or LAOJ.. right now you’re slugging a perfect 4/4 1.000

wow, cool!! a stalker!!!

lol. Get bent, asswipe. You’re batting 1.000 in Crazy!!

Yet they’ve won half of the games….

miracle

it’s a p r i l 2 5 t h. i’m surprised you’re still here during a rain delay.. fair weather fans usually peace out when they see clouds.

No, not a miracle.

Bad luck that they haven’t won more than half…

I'm watching VOLTRON

I found a link to all of season one online! I’d rather see us score some runs though, 0-1 loss due to rain would be the freaking worst!

I’m out guys and gals….. see you next time

I should get to bed. Check you cats later.

I. Want. Mike Rowe.

I don’t drive a Ford, but his commercials would almost convince me.

Really? The dirty jobs guy?

ahh, now i get it. You devilish creature

Never miss an episode.

interesting. and now you changed your avatar back. superstitious much?

At this point, I wanted to make sure it wasn’t me or my different avatar causing the funk.

Interesting

I hadn’t noticed

part of grasshopper training. I have to be aware of my surronings. Why must you let Thoreau win?

OK

so the offense is dead and Tommy was dealing. i just got in from work

dead and in the ground for several days...now its just starting to smell
yeah

and this new dude is pissed that the game is going to be called.

positive!!!!!******

No matter what - Tommy's night is over.

Just to recap his amazing performance:

5IP, 5H, 2BB, 0 ER, 1R
93 pitches – 63 srikes – 8 Ks

aaand, it appears a loss. That’s a killer (esp in fantasy with no QS)

and all he can do is lose it. :-\

Not true.

If the Braves resume playing and immediately score 2 or more runs, Tommy is in line for the win.

There in lies the problem.

Dude

check this out….it’s not being negative. it’s the weather…

http://www.weather.com/outlook/driving/interstate/hourbyhour/graph/USNY0996#

Yes. I've seen it.

Everyone has seen it. If you really want to make a point, you could at least send a link to doppler radar weather coverage. Those probability based forecasts are almost meaningless.

+1

we’ve been playing in 100% chance of rain for the last hour and a half

+1’ing your friends!!!! lmao. pathetic.

these kids are friends. look at their profiles. same ava

nope. trying too hard

what's odd

I’m texting people in the Queens area and they say its really not raining that hard

Hohn, man!!! Hohn!!! The noobs just don’t get it, yet!!!

LOLz. I know its Hohn. He’s too afraid that Tommy may get a win. Plus he drafted himelf 1st overall in UEL and figures this is a good time to pick up a few

noobs?

new to TC doesn’t mean new to baseball or the braves.

stop taking it personally. That’s chief/ a running joke at TC

they’re trying to get a rise out of us, dude. probly mets fans

See, this I'd believe.

Bill Hohn probably would try to call the game for the Mets due to rain, when it wasn’t even raining. He’s now my least favorite umpire since Eric Gregg died.

not sure he’d risk getting shit started with the braves again

i take that back.. his mustache says he’ll do what he wants

ahh ’70s porn. What would we do without it?

Good job, Tom!

Sorry we suck right now, and for the rain?

damn it

srikes strikes.
/fail

If tommy gets the loss I’m seriously going to punch someone…could have gotten more than ten SO if it wasn’t for rain. We had a chance to win that game. Stupid Mother Nature.

So, it's come to this

I just drank a beer in the shower. Low point of my year, week, day, evening.

You kidding? Shower beers are the best

game called. last place in the NL east.

says who?

WCNN radio feed on mlb at bat
i hope they're wrong

noone else is saying anything

espn still hasn’t said anything

SCOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOT!

Not according to ESPN … yet.

Seems awfully fast.

haven't heard anything yet

ESPN went to the game, said no decision yet and transitioned into SportsCenter.

That’s what I saw/heard.

UGH, I may just stop trying at NAHWAL – my guesses have not been very good for the first round.

you’ve missed attendance by oh so much a couple times, and Chipper is no different than anyone right now. Although that would be understandable for you to vanish from the NAHWAL scene

Gonna give it the “old college try” for the rest of this next series, hopefully I’ll get a bit closer. I admit most of mine are pure guesses and I need to pay closer attention to the attendance the night before in the places we play.

i'm retracting my previous statement about the game being called

my apologies, must be going deaf

1984, you still around? Got any places I can vent political anger?

wht not here? No one is watching. :P

because I’m not joking and the subject of Israel is way to touchy for this place

Braves Fashion Question

The LLAMASAURUS and I will be attending the game in St. Louis tomorrow night, so I was wondering, do I wear my sweet ’90s shirt with Taz on it (which I wore to Opening Day, that turned out well), or my brand new shirt of awesome?

both… can always switch for a rally moment

also… can you make shirts with the llamasaurus on it?

This is something to look into

go to customink.com. should take about 5 min

just bought that shirt two days ago

Braves site says Escobar got a "lecture"

Click HERE to read

loving "clintonnj"

and his comments under that post…

I never scroll down far enough to the comments. Figure it’s a waste of my time.

you were right ;)

damnit

it starting raining here. hard

So is Hohn intentionally waiting to decide on the game to make the Braves even more delayed to STL?
Is Bill Hohn a douchebag you ask?

Why yes, yes he is!

why must you insult douchebags all over the world by calling Hohn one of them? He is so much worse than one of them. He is a Hohn

You're right...my mistake!

k, now wait, I’ve posted here……look for BMacAttack….

lmao. My stalker…

LAOJ: 5/5… i should put you on my fantasy team

I’m laughing at you, tho. boss. you’re too damned funny

lol you guys

I can’t even type “lol” without him typing…….

decision is out on this one… laughing is present but target is unclear… still 5/5

He’s like the Shermanator in American Pie.

oooo 5/6… the boobirds are getting anxious

how ridiculously retarded

aww we both have noob stalkers. how cute!

is he after you too? or the other troll noobster?

the other one. Vance

stay strong!!!! fuck the Mets!!!!

there was this one random met troll here before. When someone said that its bad that we lost to Maine and Niese because they suck they guy was like no they don’t prove it. then did the same thing later. annoying crap

i wouldn’t be surprised if he counts the strike thrown to heyward for the STL game since it might turn out to be an extra pitch anyway

such a little Negative Nancy!!

stalker has become the stalkee?

i think we could get some baseball in about 30-40 minutes…. in all seriousness

might not happen. its raining pretty hard out here

Where are you getting this info? Weather.com seems to say the opposite.

Adios everybody

I gotta get some sleep. A test and a Cardinals preview to write tomorrow morning.

its 8 PM?!?

Well I never really went to sleep last night…soo yeah lol

haha. well good night then

Tommy Hanson's line for the week

9.2 0 0 2 3 12 1.86 1.45 – - 0
IP W L ER BB K ERA WHIP Win % QS

just sad

I'm calling it.. baseball in 30minutes unless we get Hohn'ed
game called...
Game Called Officially.

Game called.

Games within one run shouldn’t be called. They should be finished later on.

this this this this this

I know, right?!?! How is that not the rule?

personally worse- i have to spend all day with mets (and yankee) fans tomorrow. FML

To top it off....

there was a pitch thrown in the 6th. I’m less upset about the game being called than I am about starting an inning and then calling the game.

Even Mother Nature has it out for us it seems...

Maybe in STL our luck will finally change.

It's cancelled

what a crappy night. Bye bye….again.

I’ll cover NAHWAL at this point

I think this is one of the worst ways to lose a game. One unearned run and it gets called immediately after the 5th is finished.

and leaving 10 on doesn’t make it any easier to swallow..

and Hohn rushing to call teh game before Heyward even had a complete at-bat

true

and they made Hanson pitch through a whole inning of pouring rain.

maybe its better that the rain ended this slump…tonight is hopefully a wake-up call to our guys…

what a crappy day. see everyone tomorrow

night everybody

chief, it’s been a pleasure i think.

Right back at ya, weirdo, I mean, buddy!

If he still had a stache...

Hohn would be twisting it right now. Whilst fist bumping the weather man.

lmao

I got it for ya, BMacAttack…..

6/7

reply fail?

Nah, he’s like, my side-kick. I got it for him this once. Lil bugger was tired, and needed to sleep off the stupid.

What stat did I fulfill?

haha. Nah!! This little spammer was e-stalking me. every time I laughed at something, he was counting, so I just said, “I got this one for ya, lil buddy.”

sigh

when’s the game tomorrow? who’s pitching?

Huddy v. Lohse in StL

Huddy v. Loshe

WAIT

Tommy pitched a complete game. in a loss. how classic.

The absolute shittiest ending to a shitty week.

Hell, at least it can’t get any worse, right?

depends… baseball only?

what else is there?

p.s.

the new sig.

check it.

Let's see...

My GSD was playing with me yesterday morning when a tumor on her spleen ruptured and she died a couple hours later…

It can get worse, my friend…

Well, at least you aren’t in Sacramento……..ooooohhhhh……..nvm…..

I really was hoping for Braves wins the last couple nights

To take my mind of things…

Facepalm and Epic FAIL there

You and me both

what’s a GSD?

One positive from this...

only 5 innings of Morgan to suffer through

I know it's way too early for this,

but the standings make me sad today.

sad state of affairs, all around

A 4 games sweep of the Pujolses will put us right back in the thick of things

ha

that would be pretty damn awesome.

The baseball gods are laughing hysterically right now. Drunken bastards…

Can I haz 10 game winneng srteek, plz?

w/ Glaus?

your honor, the jury has reached a verdict….

this sucks

its not like this is a team outside of the nl east….we will be back in ny many more times and your gonna tell me they couldnt finish this another time!…

It shouldn’t be a called game if it’s a one run differential. The logic in this is insane.

im just at a lost for words….i mean we can only blame ourselves but still MLB cant let this happen!

And poor tommy!
This.

1 run….unearned.

Like I said, (aside from somebody supposedly dying) it can’t get much worse.

It was my GSD (German Shepherd)...
Sorry to hear that, if it's true.

Somebody told me you were spamming earlier or something, so…who knows.

I havent been on here the past 2 days...

SO anyone talking trash can Fuck Off….

You winners in here sure are amazing… don’t like someone’s opinion – ostracize them and treat them like crap…

But accusing me of making up my dogs death is pretty low…

We’re all in a shitty mood, bro.

And there were a shitload of newbie spammer types on here tonite, from what I’ve seen. Like I said, if that’s true, then I’m sorry to hear that.

If not……

I am so sorry for your loss.

My dog is just like family. I lost one to cancer last season. I feel your pain.

when did you change your ava? It wasn't last week was it?
A couple of weeks back.

I’m thinking it was a mistake. We started losing soon after.

facepalm

really cool ava : )

but, facepalm. change it back, asap!!!! por favor!!

Blame this game on the crappy D
How can you even call this a complete game and keep a straight face?
It's easy...

If you’re Bill Hohn.

Fuck. You. Hohn.

Complete bullshit.
