Come on ESCOOOO!

SCORING THREAD!!

WAKE UP! LETS WIN THIS ONE

Took awhile to get here.

Ohhh yeah 2 hits already!

Finally a hit from the leadoff spot

New thread

chicka chicka yea

Bringing this inning's hits over here ...

What the hell I was trying to do something else. And then the braves bats wake up.

Odarp base hit plz!!

Chicks dig the long ball.
 
They also dig back to back hits.

Hells Yeah! Let's do this Bravos
LOL NICE THROW FROM 2 FT
but in all honesty

probably shouldn’t have been running from 3rd there

I wrote “2 hits and a homer. Consecutively. Make it so.” in the previous thread. We got the two hits. Now just need the homer.

Let's get this back
Yeah!

We’ll take it!

Good base running Yunel!

Also, heads up running by Esco!

Thank you, Mr Pitcher

Sweet Defense.

:)

lol

is that a real bird? i wanna get me one of those for the house

I love this image!

do you have one for fielder's choice? lol

No, but in MY heart it was a screaming HIT.
;-)

Prado’s hitting under .400 now? Trade his ass, jesus.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG...we are definitely coming back

That better, guys?

Poor Conrad. He got trampled.

More runs!! Woo Woo!!!

Let's Go Braves.. Let's Go!!! Clap Clap
I'm clapping!
i can't

get a rhythm with that

here we go…

LET’S GO BRAY-AVES
CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP

I wonder if beerman2619 will join us now that we've scored
Bad news Braves I for one can’t wait for Bobby Cox to be gone. Lets face it this guy hasn’t done a good job managing this team for a long time. Good god this team is terrible wonder if this team could beat the braves of the 80’s i followed. Stuck with them then and i will stick with them now but this season is over quick for these clowns. Derek Lowe is the ace of this staff ha i think that says it all. And for all you clowns that say fans shouldn’t get upset with the way this team is playing don’t have a clue. Just because a fan gets upset about there team doesn’t mean you are a better fan so give it a rest. This team is terrible that is a fact.

Get that quote outta here. What a bum

i told you - REVERSE HEX!

we should thank him

don’t make me read that shit again.

hide it by clicking the boldness

New technology is amazing. whats next?

avatars.

The twelve foot tall EarthPandora-loving dudes?

yeah, not the little pictures by our posts… cuz those exist and everything

I must agree.

Amazing the effect a small pecker has on a guy.

BOOM

head shot

such language...

and i thought you were a classy lady. :P

Now, what have I ever done to create such an impression? LOL

true enough. ;)

But, I appreciate the fact you may be so eagerly fooled.

I like this edgy side of you. Get ’em.

Pshhh

And you give me a hard time when I jokingly say “boner” after a brave does something sexy…

Wasn’t me – must be thinking of someone else. I’d never discourage boners of any kind.

Eyyyyy.

Cudda been someone else I guess…

Btw

That was really hot.

But I’m sure you’ve made one or two go away in your time.

’tis life…some come, some go. Some stay and come back for more.

I wish I had that name. I like beer and really want everyone to know it.

The Braves are terrible. It’s science, baby.
 
- Ron Burgundy

He appears to have offered up a "Let's go McCann" in the old thread.
PSA

Don’t feed the beerman

It’s kind of funny when he drops these nuggets of negligence and then nobody responds to them.

Old man legs it out.

Hell to the Yizzzzeah!!!
Let's keep going guys - I got 'em all!

i really dig the images!
do you have a bunch pre-made?

Made ’em right before game 1 of this series. Hoping it would change our luck LOL.

Wow, that was lucky. Way to run G'PA

THERE WE GO!!

1 home run would provide a small lead here.

WHERE ARE THE NEGATIVE NANCIES OUT NOW?!

Oh yeah, they’re probably busy working on a fanpost of how much this team sucks.

they're probably

taking matters into their own hands

They’re having tons of fun in the little sandbox known as “Rosterbation”

theyre still here

i hope they don’t go unnoticed when they are still around after we win

i hope to see you in the WINNING game recap.

:)

wish i could

i took a break from studying to watch the last 5 innings. Predictably, right when i showed up we lost the lead.

That’d be a first.

speaking of negative nancies

So, first Vance is pissed at me for being eternally optimistic, but now I’m a negative nancy? I wish I could make up my mind!

seriously dude

it’s tiring to keep up with your mood swings

You know

I say that about you all the time

Negative Nancy, Somber Sally, Debbie Downer……..I hate all of those broads

i think

they need boy names, cause they’re all stupid boys

Negative Norman, Somber Stu and Danny Downer.

Morose Marvin. Lugubrious Larry. Depressed Dave.

Points for the adjectives.

+1

for lugubrious

Haha, been studying for my GRE.

I was about to say, that’s an SAT word right there

i sucked on verbal

on the GRE…however i did no studying whatsoever. there were words in the analogies of which i’d never heard before! so i started looking for root words and such and i didn’t recognize them either. ugh.

GRE...that was such fun.
even better

Feed just cut out — is LaRussa switching hurlers or do I need to offer a sacrifice to the MLB.tv gods?

Switching pitchers.
the former. hell do both. what's on the sacrifice docket tonight?

So, I’m getting Tweets on the college game. Apparently one of our players SCORED on a fielder’s indifference. Does that not make sense to anyone else?

not to me

which college?

Civil War, Ducks doing the scoring.

It's a stretch. They have to be up big time.

But it really doesn’t make sense

We got a fielder's indifference on the infield fly botched play.
For those who care.

Apparently it was a triple, then the catcher went out to the mound without calling time.

Ground balls are finally going our way! B-e-a-utiful!!1

Bringing in the same fat guy who struggled last night

Thanks Tony!!

Fuck Yeah!!!

I’m going back to deadliest

So I muted my tv, turned on some Offspring, and took a sip of my bourbon and coke.
We are coming back. Therefore:

I RESOLVE TO CONTINUE WATCHING A MUTED TELEVISION, LISTENING TO OLD ROCK MUSIC, AND DRINKING ALCOHOL, until we lose a game.

+100 for Offspring

Or your liver fails.

Your resolve is a testament to us all.

That’ll be 2nite bcuz da Braves suck like da Bad News Bears!!!! OMFG we suck go pirates!

PUT ON SILVERCHAIR NEXT!

meh

they’re okay.

Candlebox is queued up next.
nice pull

what about dishwalla?

i used to love the commercial that used to come on XM’s alternative channel, about how the Gin Blossoms were available to play “Hey Jealousy” at your next birthday party.

Butthole Surfers

pepper

but i like their earlier stuff too

Haha, I busted out a PBR as soon as we lost the lead. We shouldn't mix our alcohols though because...

YOU GOTTA KEEP ’EM SEPARATED

Tomahawk Chop... Let's do IT

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ac5erpd9H8&feature=related

i got in an argument

with a guy @ thegoodphight. he wouldn’t shut up about how the atlanta braves is a racist organization for the chop, our name, etc…

sigh

Tell him to get back to me when the Redskins change their name

he says that ANY organization

professional, college, prep, pop warner, little league, whatever

is racist and bigoted for using any type of american indian mascots

Tell him to shove it

i went into a sarcasm filled rant

about how i’m irish and we were oppressed and enslaved when we first arrived and how i’m completely offended by notre dame.

Have you heard Carlin's rant on this subject? It's pretty sweet.
I think it's actually a good way to remember who was on this land first.

It’s more like we are honoring them.

i agree

the atlanta braves were never out to offend anyone or profit at the expense of a culture

Good Lord

Do actual american Indians give a shit about that.

all they care about

is their casinos.

Ask Chief Osceola how offended he is.

I would have said “hey buddy, 1993 called. It wants its Mitch Williams mullet back.”

Rumor has it it’s been seen at Studio 42 on the MLB Network

that guy thinks he’s the shit on MLBN. I watch him nightly for my pre-sleep LOL

Offensive onslaught!!!

Man, Denys Reyes has been around forever.

Oh hell yeah

I WAS HOPING FOR THIS GUY AGAIN!

Eh. It’s up to Mr. Troy

Blergh, right at Holliday.

Good baserunning Prado!!!!! I like it!!!
Nice hustle by Prado
anyone got a link?
stream torrent

is all

Ahhh I thought that one was gonna drop.

Biblical proportions

This losing streak is truly of biblical proportions and sack cloth and ashes may be what is needed…..

Gage,

Do we root for hometown pitcher, Boggs?, I think not today….

Hahaha, my brother went to high school with him. He’s generally a terrible pitcher though. Poor guy.

Yeah, Justin did too, and your right, he's usually not that consistant.

I hate it for him. He’s a good boy.

Yep, and from a great family,

my brother was a CPA for his Dad’s firm, until he went out on his own.

I wonder if Tommy is paying the Cards to keep him on the team? j/k. of course

lolled. On the phone with my buddy to tell him he was on and told him. He said his mom would have said the same thing. His brother graduated with Mitchell.

Stick it to your old team Troy!

Glaus single up the middle

predictionz

C’mon Troy. U Can Do EEEEET!

you can do it all night long

Good eye Troy

I’ll tell you what this umpire is terrible for both teams

Those were all called balls for DLowe…don’t complain.

Oh man…I hope he stings this next one…

I hope the ump squeezing Boggs results in something similar to him squeezing Lowe.

Bases loaded for JHey again..

Jason with bags full of Braves.

I hope he does well here.

Heyward

please hit a triple or homer!

i'm about to sacrifice a live chicken to get us the win
Pedro Pedro Pedro Pedro Pedro!
run that voodoo down

Little Jerry. lol

Haha, LaRussa is crazy with these substitutions.

Bobby should have pinch hit Diaz to make him come back out.

Tony is determined to make this a three hour game

Let’s go Heyward! clap clap clapclapclap

Cripes LaRussa, leave someone in the 'pen would ya?
I'd rather JHey face any lefty other than reyes

Glad Mccann got that asshole out of the way

Are you serious Tony?

I fucking hate that guy. He slows the game down more than any other manager in baseball. I hope Jason rocks a HR off his 19th lefty of the night.

This.

Especially when he waited to change pitchers last night till we declared Diaz as the PH.

probably needed to

considering this is the 4th pitcher of the inning. I have no clue how miller got warm this quick.

Man, I dont change my underwear THIS much

NO. 22!!!!

Time for a GS!!!!

Boggs’ pic on Yahoo looks like an arrest pic of a child molester.

LET'S DO THIS FOR REAL!!!!!!!!
it's bases loaded???

2 walks in 3 innings. C’mon Jay Hey

Come on Superstar! You’re so due.

JH...

+Eleventy

Is that 2 Elevens.

Ummmmm…….yes?

111- i think, according to Bilbo Baggins
That was eleventy-one.
thus my hyphen after the 1

Maybe not so much on that strike 3 call taken.

Corky Miller!!!

/ban

There you go, acting like one of those veteran TC assholes who think they’re so powerful.

agh. swung at crap there

Aargh. Don’t swing at that…

But....

Do swing at that.

I saw Jason Heyward was ranked in the COMBINATION of player power rankings of all sports. He was number 17 i believe

I’ve seriously gotta get my arse in bed. Keep the hope alive, ladies and gents.

Thanks for stopping by

Always a pleasure. Until next time, Mr. Beard.

wow

that was the most enlightening comment Ive ever heard. About Lowe hoping Jason does good and Chris hoping Jason does bad

Joe about to pull a Chip right there

Ahhhh come on Heyward!!!

straighten that shit out

yeah, that would have made two hr's tonight.

You gotta swing the bat there. Come on.

We cut it to one. We can do this fellas!
:(

i’m gonna be sick. What the hell is that Jason? You took 2 down the middle kid!

argh jason

you gotta swing the damn bat there, man!

man

we are terrible w/ the bases chucked

crap

we needed that one. still, more runs = good!

So…………….about that day off for young Jason….

Next game hopefully.

yeah lefty tomorrow…i sure hope so.

sad thing is that as bad as he’s been playing, he’s probably our 2nd best hitter on the team.

Hold ’em here 1-2-3, and get the mojo running again in the 8th.
 
PUMP IT UP!
 
Keep yer sticks on the ice folks. OUT!

Well

Time to prepare another sad day.

We need a new mascot to get the team going

I recommend we change our name to:

The Dancin’ Homers

Now this is something I can endorse.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that is SO racist

This is something I can endorse.

echo
Double post?

Apologize if so…I’m in the thread, watching MLB.tv, and trying to burn a CD at the same time.

pssh

post the head of Glaus on the body of the Hulk while you’re doing all that and then we’ll talk

Multi tasking. I like it.

i hope it's not

“data”

lol

Beard is a dirty perv.

Hey, f you buddy. That was all Bigjoe

You brought it onto yourself

Who burns CDs anymore. Jump drives are like terabytes now, nobody uses those glorified drink coasters anymore.

Well, since you’re being such a dick about it, I’m burning a bunch of songs for a friend since Itunes won’t let him play songs after we used one of your precious jump drives. Happy?

No

Not happy. He needs a better computer.

Pretty much. No chance he’s going to be able to play Diablo 3 on the piece of shit he’s using.

CD\DIABLO3\DIABLO3.EXE

haha

I think the last game I ever played on DOS was Doom2

Double endorsement!

Nice play Prado

Slick play by PRAY-DOE

Should we have gone Medlen last inning then came with Moylan for the full inning?

curious

Marteeeny Weeeny!

Medlen and ground ball outs. Good thing.

thats a tough ball to stay down on

HI EVERYBODY

Better late than never. How’d the braves’ 3-4 runs score, and how did the STL 5th run score?

L4D > LOBs

L4D2 the passing > awesome.

Left 5 Dead 7?

+1

For Yahtzee…I think. Right?

+10 for being correct

I still have only play L4D2 once…fail

That was only on Sunday’s game.

Agreed

i agree with myself alot too.

lol

Aside from that I agreed to soup’s statement

Did you just agree with yourself?

your pic is too big. go away.

;)

Straighten up everybody! sddbaker, put your drink down and get off the table!

lol

that was a big ol glass of drank in the other thread

Run 3: Runners on first and third—tapper back to the mound. Conrad (on 3rd) broke on contact, throw to the plate from the pitcher was waaaay wide. Escobar went to third on the play.

Run 4: Immediately after, Chipper hit a ground ball between first and second. Fielder stopped it but Chipper beat the throw.

Chipper got an infield single to score our 3rd and their pitcher threw an error to get in our 4th.

Good job Medlen. Right back to the bats

All right. It's run-scoring time.
Let's Win so Joe Simpson has to walk back to the Hotel!!!!

STFD LUDWICK YOU DESERVED THAT!

Nice inning for Medlen

Let's get some runs...

Ohh boy. Stike 3 on a hanging slider.

Alright Diaz…time to do work.

Diaz is up

We’re going to score. I can feel it.

LaRussa, some of us have work early tomorrow morning.

YES!

I said last night that Motte was a ticking time bomb…Let’s hope I was right!!!!

Tony…
I would like to get to bed at a reasonable hour. Please and thank you

Off Topic Warning -

So, I learned how to install vinyl siding today. Helping my Dad cover a storage building on his property.
Will be doing this the next 2 days. He’s older, so I’m enjoying the daddy/daughter time.

that's very nice :)

leave now. Talking Chop is only meant for bashing the Braves…none of your father/daughter time.

:)

Let’s see – if bitchin’ is required – can I say how much I HATE aluminum nails?!!!

Yea totally ruining the negative vibe around here

My dad and I reroofed our house last summer. It was hard work but a good time.

How nice. Yeah, I figured once he’s gone it will be a memory I’ll cherish every time I see that building.

Who's this Smoltz guy that broadcasts for PTV? He's pretty good.

The best corny joke teller in the world – and don’t you forget it!
LOL

Some pitcher with a bad shoulder

I think he was a catcher or something…

a golfer
Heard he lost to Joe yesterday on some nice chip ins.
He was giving away seven strokes a side!

I think he was a Red Sox and Cardinals pitcher for a while.

Oh that's right. yeah he was okay i guess. Jk. he Rules

Soup…sorry I couldn’t get that Greinke blowup for you.

Haha, no worries.

I’m going to drop all of my hitters after today’s bucket of fail.

That a boy Matt…do nothing and get on base!

Matthew with a walk!

Come on Hinskeeeeee!

HAH!!

C’MON HINSKE!!

The Cards are going through their entire ’pen here.

Okay, Hinske, no repeat from last night. Let’s do a double and not a GIDP.

Hinske’s going deep. I can feel it

TWSS
there it is

I haven’t had one in the GT tonight…i needed to get it out

TW...

Oh, nevermind.

hahaha

that’s discipline for ya.

I’m expecting a mound visit from LaRussa any time now…

hand on the rail… itching to get out there again…

Well, at least we weren't doubled up.

Yay!

Damn. That almost went really poorly, then almost went really really well, and then just went poorly.

Hinske legs of lead

I thought we signed him for speed?

yeah, it was for the stealz

Nah, he’s the emergency pitcher.

that was a nice play. RISP!!!!

And we have a runner in scoring position!

Come on Esco. This is where you shine!

Escobar, you bastard…please do something

Wow.... I mean wow...

I always thought Hinske was faster than that

Hinske = Sloth Jr.?

escobar is showing signs of life too

hitting sharp balls to the right side of late

And again, that sucked.

Dang it! Escobar has been hitting the ball solid lately, just not much to show for it. One inning left.

I believe!

goodnight...long day

go Braves.

Later on. We’ll wake you if the game gets good.

heart of the order up in the 9th

we can do it

The announcers said Franklin might not be available tonight

Good to see Wagner getting some work

Agreed. It’s been a week since we’ve seen him.

lol

WHO IS THIS MIDGET LEFTY PITCHER

Wags!

Make quick work out of ’em!

Heyward laughs at Pujols

HA! You call that a fly ball? Shits weak bro.

Heyward

“That guy reminds me of an old me.”

Wagner: The Crippler.

The good ole one pitch walk.

hey matt, move next time

LOL

get Holliday a $120MM bag of ice.

yay Wags!!! And a “little bit of chicken fried” playin in the background….. =)

OW

Might be a broken toe there?

shit. what'd i miss?

7th inning come back?

VIDRO HWEW.

Does Wagner even acknowledge vidros? I figured he just strikes motherfuckers out.

he’s gettin a little confused this inning…you need 3 STRIKES to strike him out, not 3 balls

'Twould appear not.

I remember he got Andruw to Vidro in new york back in 2007

Maybe he'll miss the next 2 games with a hurt toe!

Bad big toes are no joke!

Holy shit

Hoffman just gave a homerun to tie the game. And then gave up a grandslam.

The thing to top all of this, it was against the Pirates.

Wow, Hoffman must be feeling like shit
Maybe Wags is too right now?

HBP + BB = FAIL

it’s probably time for the dude to call it quits. I was watching the other night and his changeup doesn’t drop anymore.

he wants those 600 saves

Must
get
milestone
save

and the giants r playing homerun derby off of moyer

Throw strikes please.

I think Wags is wound tight tonight.

Lots of wondering where these are going to go. LOL

god West is ugly as hell
we are ugly as hell
as ugly as molina?
who is we?
Who you callin scruffy??
shut up

Nerf-herder

underrated band as well

true

very interesting song lyrics if memory serves

I really wish cabrera hadn't tried to catch that fly ball with his forearm right now

But when else was he going to get a chance to practice his belly-flop for all the summer pool parties that are going to be happening soon?

If memory serves, I think Wagner has always had a hard time pitching in non-save situations.

add him to the list

Come on Billy

+1

And Molina has killed us so far

Yeah he's a pest
We're here to help you Billy, get back in school to stay...

We’re gonna work real hard, and stick it out, til graduation day!

yippee yi yay

Yeeehawww. Lets get another one here, Wags!

Good lord

STFD #2

I know it’s coming…where’s the photoshop?

Once more, with feeling!

Thank you sir, may I have another?.... answer = yes.

If anybody is going to score for us, it will be 2-3-4 guys. PLEASE!

WOO!!

Freese just melted from that heat!!

Wags just kicked some ICE!

Prado get on, Chipper get lost.

Simple as that.

THE POWER OF TEAM MASCOT COMPELS YOU

Very nice.

thanks

coming from Queen of Photos, that means something :)

IMO

The “daughter” in the Heineken commercials is a smokeshow. I’d totally make the risk too.

when was the last HR we hit?

i can’t seem to remember it happened to so long ago

1 week ago

The walkoff by McClouth

That long ago? Damn…

thats the last I could remember
Thousands of Years Ago...!

The Ghost of Christmas Past…from the Future.

We need the Unicorn of Optimism!

I like that guy. One day when we have a lead going into the 9th, we shoudl use him.

Hey NC

Can I get a hat that is turned inside out?

I hear it has magical powers.

Screw your AT&T game summary Smoltzie.

we suck...
speak for yourself
nah.. no need
our leadoff batting average speaks for itself.. sub .095..

which, as terrible as it is, is an improvement. gotta start somewhere.

The jjhova12 confidence poll speaks for itself

0.95%

also, how many players in our lineup are batting sub .200?

Oh, and by the way, crack all the jokes you want to about me.. I’m just pointing out the facts at this point.

thank you?
as of last night we had 1 player batting over .255

but after this outburst tonight that probably changed

bench players don't count/

stats so far matter

You think you are the only one that can read a box score?
...

I’m illiterate…

and just for the record.. I'm as big a braves fan as anyone else..

we are just in an awful slump right now and it sucks watching them struggle.. Sorry if I struck a cord with the initial comment.. No harm meant.

you came to the wrong place

if asking questions about the braves lack of offense is on your mind

Good response. No worries.

Well, Hopefully they'll find their bats when they come to DC to play the Nats next week.

I’ll be wearing my Chipper jersey with pride..

Maybe I’ll see you there!

Ah, You're up here in traffic hell as I like to refer to it also?

Hopefully we can beat up on the Nats to get out of this slump…

Indeed, lived in NOVA for the last 24 years. And I’m hoping we can beat up on the Astros this weekend and that it carriers over to the Nats.

Sweet, I'm in Falls Church. Only been here a year and a half so far though

Not cracking an age joke but you’ve almost lived here longer than I’ve been alive! =)

I live in Falls Church as well, look at that. And no worries about the age joke, I’m only 27.

Oh ok, 25 here..

You’re what I refer to as a local then. I lived in GA for 20 yrs, CA for 4 and I ended up here

You guys should go bowling or something. Or go get drinks at PJ Skidoo’s

Haha, PJ Skidoo’s…I haven’t been there in years.

I think that if you look around baseball you will see plenty of veterans who are also doing poorly. It’s early, things can change.

all subjectivity aside

we have probably had the worst offense in the nl so far.

just sayin.

No doubt. Chances are they won’t stay that way, but I don’t deny that it’s a fucking disaster to watch at the moment.

I just think we got ahead of ourselves

In spring training and in the first couple of weeks. We will turn it around, but realistically we might be a year or two from truly competing. Just too many Charlie’s at this point.

That may be the case. I still do think we have Wild Card potential. Winning the division was never a possibility in my mind.

Blargh. Motte is wild. Show some patience!

Bad AB from Martin.

why swing without any strikes against this douche?

patience pays with motte

Ahh Marteeen why did you swing at that? Dude is so wild.

Alright Mac Attack

lets hit a long jack right here

HEY. Lets turn this Motte into Motte-zah ball soup

lolz

....

I don’t want to, but I like it.

Smoltz

Is that you?

wow. the winningest worst joke evar

I'm back

a run as a welcome present would be nice

Game of inches… sigh.

Crap

Heap SUPER FOUL

does anyone else's tv sound like it is peeing?
do you

have a pet or a drunk friend nearby?

no

theres just almost a static noise in the background

i think your pants have surround sound.

HAHAHAH.LETS TURN THIS GREEN!!!

Oh yeah, my Pete Van Weiren book came today. First 60 pages have been great.

Come on, Glaus. You’re our only hope.

wtf

It’s not September yet, Heap shouldn’t popping out like that yet. :(

BRING THE MOTHA F’ING POWAH TROY!

where's the rally

unicorn farting rainbows?!

NOW!
I asked for it at the beginning of the inning

but it didnt show :o(

and then there was 1

come on glaus

The last time Glaus was up 2 out in the 9th with a man on he homered…

Heyward on deck. I’d be down for another round of back-to-back jacks.

here it comes

SQUARE IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like how Motte is trying to look like Brad lidge.

CHIPPER

STEAL HOME!!!!

it would be insane

straight up that first base line. Would have never seen it coming.

1 run losses - didn't we do this a lot last year too?

Enough I say!

GLAUS!!!!!!!!!!!! didn’t hit it out………..FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fml. I was sure that one was gone..
man

thought it was there for a second…

how did that stay in the yard. mother fucker

Good damn it. Are we using the right kind of bats?

Think we could sneak some aluminum ones in next game?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
damn it.. that looked solid =/

nice going chip joe

DANG IT!!!!! That call made me think it was a mash!

Here is something to cheer you up

http://failblog.org/vote/

Fucking Joe…doing his best Chip impression right there.

+1

I thought it was gone by his reaction…

Douche

really....

that’s one of my least favorite Chip traits….

And I hurt my voice screaming at the ball to go. Ow.

when is it okay to be pessimistic?
when the unicorn is stabled.
+1

After the last out at the earliest!

mmmmm

September?

Sadness...

But that was an entertaining game, even though it didn’t go our way.

Agreed. As stupid as it sounds after these last two losses, it’s nice to see signs of life from this team.

FML

we just can’t win now… we’ll come around. hopefully

Tomorrow night - Good Luck Idea

Everyone watches naked.
Those with laptops take necessary precautions.
.

laptops get hot…

Thus my encouragement for precautions. I have a platform with a fan – gotta be reeeal careful.

Thanks for making me laugh!

Figured we could use one. :-)

And if you have a laptop pad with a built in fan

Trim the short and curlies!

OMG! laughing :)

I;m no longer surprised when you suggest stuff like this.

me too, and I’m still not sure if its a joke or not

Let’s just say – if we don’t win – it’s because someone didn’t do it and it won’t be me.

great

guilt trip me into doing it…

Shit I almost called it. well goodnight everybody hopefully we win tomorrow

GAHH I HATE JOE

He gets soo excited over routine fly balls

he wanted it to go

I guess we all have to be depressed together

 I can’t remember the last 7 game slump the braves fell into

Well dammit. Baby steps. We’re getting there. Things will turn around real soon.

Alright guys,

I’m out. Little bit too depressed to score NAHWAL so I’ll probably just keep posting them and not scroing until the weekend rolls around. Later

I'ma outta here as well.

Night guys!

As bad as we're playing now

I recall the Detroit Tigers whom after getting Miguel Cabrera, Edgar Renteria, and Dontrelle Willis were pegged to score 1,000 runs and win the World Series. They started the season 0-8, after getting swept by the Kansas City Royals

well let's hope that happens against us
On the bright side

at least I don’t have to post those unicorn and Riley pics every game, since they didn’t do anything.

This won't last forever - I promise.

I almost pity Houston who will get the fullness of our wrath of this horrid streak wihen they come to BRAVES COUNTRY next.

I’m gonna hold you to that promise. :P

I smell a win streak brewing...

they’ve toyed with the lion for too long

Keep thinking positive folks

we get the Astros, Natinals, Pirates (twice) and Reds in the next month. I’m excited.

omg, Pirates twice in one month? Christmas already?

MAY will be MAGNIFICENT!
I'm numb from the losses,

doesn’t hurt as bad now as he did.

Maybe this year WE will be the ones to come from the depths to win big down the stretch. Maybe…..

Goodnight, my fellow masochists.

Well, we can now officially go from "Worst to First" again!
It Was A Very Good Game

You didn’t know who was going to win til the last out. The only problem was JHay didn’t do much and we lost

what's the record for most comments in a game thread?
What's the braves record for consecutive losses?

This crap is ridiculous. From two great come from behind wins in a row to 7 straight losses. Does anyone still think it is too early to worry?

Yes it is still to early to worry too frigging much. Did you watch the game?

We did very well and our worst hitters woke up! We will win tomorrow, they are just warming up to it cause they haven’t done it in a week. Yeah a week. You folks make it sound like a year ago.

Oh ok. If you say so...
