Jair Jurrjens is looking good. Jason Heyward is (still) looking good. And it looks like we're in for a pitchers dual at The Ted. Braves lead 1-0 going into the 5th inning.
The error at first should have negated the first run, and the second scored after the second out was recorded, so it should be negated as an earned run too. Right?
I told my dad Monday that I was afraid we had used up all of our runs for this series in the first game and that we would probably score 2 tonight. Looks like I overestimated it.
When I got there around 5, the following tickets were sold out: $1 skyline, outfield pavilion, upper deck, BOGO terrace. I had to go with a SRO ticket. Of course there were single tickets to be had for $30+, but that’s not in my budget. Keep in mind I was only looking for one ticket, not trying to get 2 or 5 people sitting together.
Anyone else remember Amazin’ Avenue flipping out when Jerry Manuel made the choice to leave Pedro Feliciano in against Matt Diaz with the bases loaded?
some dumbass worker was “doing normal checks” on the powerbox and “cut the wrong cord.” How the hell do you cut the wrong cord? You should probably know what cord to cut if you’re an electrician. You might, you know, hurt yourself if you don’t.
Wags is filthy. Chipper is clutch. Heyward drives in another.
Feel bad JJ didn’t get any more run support and get the W.
Also not good that Glaus got the golden sombrero tonight.
well discuss bitches!
Adam Laroche was correct

Another typical JJ game so far.
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 7, 2010
yup
Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010
We need more runs.
JJ better not get cheated on a BS 2-1 loss tonight.
Scott Coleman - April 7, 2010
Yes.
No JVL tonight, please
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
You have to admit
A 16-5 win followed by a 1-0 win is pretty hot too.

He needs to trust his stuff more. Save his arm from so many unnecessary pitches.

His control is slipping away from him.

Just cant get into a situation
Where you have to throw fastball to Soriano

"Throw Strikes."
Duff_Man - April 7, 2010
Forgot how to read I guess
bravos1984 - April 7, 2010
Is it just me
or has Soriano turned into an opposite field hitter?
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
Yeah I noticed that
His bat is not that slow is it?
UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010
He also
Turned into this less than stellar player that everyone is ostracizing him as one of the worst contracts EVAR now, too
royhobbs - April 7, 2010

BRaves1 - April 7, 2010

He was OUT

Is that our payback for Nate’s center field “catch” yesterday?

But I’ll take it.
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
Damn…so close
Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010
Darn near a DP there.
UMDBHIK - April 7, 2010
YES
TOSS BOBBY
royhobbs - April 7, 2010
What the heck?
Was that even close?
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
Chip bobbled a bit, that's why we barely missed the DP
kreese555 - April 7, 2010
im going to miss that trot next year
Doghnut - April 7, 2010
HE WAS OUT!
Scott Coleman - April 7, 2010
On the replay
Clearly out. Stupid ump
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
Karma for the McLouth play I guess
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
Makeup call for Monday.
UMDBHIK - April 7, 2010
Wow cleary out
OUT !
UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010
bullshit call
Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010
Whoa...
After the replay, I can say “bad call there, ump.”
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
Replay shows we got him
kreese555 - April 7, 2010
Its okay...time for a(nother) DP
Scott Coleman - April 7, 2010

Texastriplecrown - April 7, 2010

Texastriplecrown - April 7, 2010
Damn, clearly out
MatM - April 7, 2010
Hmm, we’ll call it even for McLouth’s non-catch last night.
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 7, 2010
Fontenot reminds me of Eugene Levy in Almost Heroes
Every time i hear his name. Gee Fontenoh (phonetically)
kreese555 - April 7, 2010
JJ tiring out?
Not getting on top of his fastball
UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010
That's what I was worried about, but at 65-70 pitches, he should be fine. Definitely looks like it though
kreese555 - April 7, 2010
Glaus looks smooth
receiving the pickoff throws
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
I agree
He’s certainty solid on first
Texastriplecrown - April 7, 2010
and striking out
BradPerala - April 7, 2010
yeah i like his style
hope his power is “back” at the plate too
BradPerala - April 7, 2010
What is the pitch count on JJ?
romone_braves91 - April 7, 2010

Did anyone hear Buck Belue today talking...
about the Heyward jerseys?
Cammando2317 - April 7, 2010
Need new pre-game group...
Not real impressed with the 680 group.
crosby - April 7, 2010
Hmm...
To each his own, but I love it. I really like Buck though. I could take or leave Leo and Lemmer is always great.
Cammando2317 - April 7, 2010
Foul ball,
but nice play by Glaus anyway
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
damn close
phew

Looks like Moylan needs to start stretching.

We need a vidro, like, yesterday
Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010
And I’m back.
McCann and McWill - April 7, 2010
Jeez.
Need the Vidro, stat.
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
How come Lowe sucks and gets 16 runs to play with
And Jurrjens gets only 1 run to this point and the way things happened last year will get a ND or loss to show for it.
Jay212033 - April 7, 2010
JVL
McCann and McWill - April 7, 2010
Law of averages. Overscore for Lowe, underscore for Jurrjens.
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
Deja-vu all over again ain’t it.
NCChopper - April 7, 2010
It's all mental now. Gotta make a great pitch and get out of this thing
kreese555 - April 7, 2010
That was a terrible Change up
MatM - April 7, 2010
Damn it
Where the hell was Heyward?
Whatever, you know what it means:
royhobbs - April 7, 2010
Good DP guy up now
ground ball, c’mon
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
To his credit, he does look composed
kreese555 - April 7, 2010
Hey its Soto
That douche that stole McCanns starting All Star job.
McCann and McWill - April 7, 2010
Ugh
Just thought about Max Scherzer getting Chipper AND Yunel on the stupid fake to third and first.
royhobbs - April 7, 2010
NICE pitch
Scott Coleman - April 7, 2010
One batter too late...
Come on Bobby… it’s time.
crosby - April 7, 2010
time for what?
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
cake?
McCann and McWill - April 7, 2010
mmmm. cake!
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
The cake is a lie.
royhobbs - April 7, 2010
I'm still alive.
McCann and McWill - April 7, 2010
Cake or Death?
NCChopper - April 7, 2010
Beat you to it.

Hehe, nails all mine. New polish though, does that count?

Scott Coleman - April 7, 2010
Now THAT was a good off-speed pitch
bravos1984 - April 7, 2010
Come on...
Scott Coleman - April 7, 2010
Little more giddy up on that one, 95 mph
MatM - April 7, 2010
If he walks him, McDowell’s on his way out.
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
Call to the 'pen anyway
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
Oh there he goes
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
Awwww man
Times like these, I wish we had Oakland’s foul territory
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
Well, he does have Dempster up next
kreese555 - April 7, 2010
Do they call ground balls in Denver a mile high?
McCann and McWill - April 7, 2010
Yes, but flyballs are 2miles high.
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
lol @ the ‘AH FUCK!’
soup du jour - April 7, 2010
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
The ball is slipping out of his hand
MatM - April 7, 2010
Dempster next… so perhaps a DP is still possible.
NCChopper - April 7, 2010
Dempster got a hit last time, remember
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
I know, thinking he now owes us a DP.
NCChopper - April 7, 2010
Overthrowing quite a bit
Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010
81 pitches
Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010
how many this inning, like 30?
fphjr01 - April 7, 2010
Medlen in the 'pen
Good choice.
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
Haha, stupid Dempster swung
kreese555 - April 7, 2010
Meds up in the pen
fphjr01 - April 7, 2010
Remember
Jurrjens only went 5.2IP in his first start last year
royhobbs - April 7, 2010
I’m surprised they’re gonna let Dempster even swing. He makes contact and it’s a DP waiting to happen.
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
Come on JJ
MatM - April 7, 2010
And he's swung at 2 balls
kreese555 - April 7, 2010
Kill me. Please.
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
What the fuck was that
kreese555 - April 7, 2010
Well that.
Was a disaster.
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
OMG
HEYJUDE - April 7, 2010
God, I’d love to see JJ get out of this with the win intact.

I was thinking the same thing.

Not that long
I’m just that quick.

Yes, Prado I’m pretty sure.
Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010

I was hoping to see less of that this year
bravos1984 - April 7, 2010
You and me both.
NCChopper - April 7, 2010
where was that second pitch?
Wren_and_Stimpy - April 7, 2010
I hope Medlen is ready
MatM - April 7, 2010
Well the good news
Is this has drawn a live lookin on MLBN
fphjr01 - April 7, 2010
no difference between the second and third pitches yet the third is called a stike.
should be 1-2.
Wren_and_Stimpy - April 7, 2010
Smoltz cursed him. He had two strikes and then Smoltzie started talking about confidence, blah blah blah.
McCann and McWill - April 7, 2010
A wise man once said
Fuck it, Maddux said when things get tough, throw slower, not harder.
royhobbs - April 7, 2010

I didn’t realize it was everyday today.
McCann and McWill - April 7, 2010
Tequila and shot glass at the ready.
NCChopper - April 7, 2010
I'm surprised Nate threw it.
Seemed like last year he never did that.
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
Not worried
Sets up more storybook nonsense for Heyward.
royhobbs - April 7, 2010
0-2
Now put him away for crying out loud.
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
Top of the order for us?
Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010
you are correct, sir

GoBravesNY - April 7, 2010
Just a temporary setback.
Now, our offense will wake UP and put this away.
NCChopper - April 7, 2010
Every time I flip back to ESPN they are talking about Heyward. During a Red Sox/Yankees game. It’s weird.
Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010

JD Drew and Nick Swisher. RF Vacancies are an idea away.

let’s get some offense going…
Wren_and_Stimpy - April 7, 2010
So were either of those runs earned?
The error at first should have negated the first run, and the second scored after the second out was recorded, so it should be negated as an earned run too. Right?
Bronn - April 7, 2010
Concerns for your fantasy team?
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 7, 2010
mine!
GoBravesNY - April 7, 2010
Concerns
for treating JJ fairly. Not that the umps were much help.
Bronn - April 7, 2010
1 was. 1.80 ERA
GoBravesNY - April 7, 2010
The first run
would have scored regardless, you can’t count on a DP. The second wasn’t
Zach Towery - April 7, 2010
But I can count
On an out, and the runner at home should have been dead to rights.
Bronn - April 7, 2010
Come on, Melky.

UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010

Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010
I don't get it.
Dempster isn’t throwing anything over the plate. Sit back and wait on him and stop Frenchying at crap a foot outside.

I don’t get the swinging at pitches you couldn’t do anything with, even if you were to make contact.

I know I’d swing….but then again I haven’t played baseball since I was 8 yrs old.

sorry about that, haven’t figured all that out yet.
McCann and McWill - April 7, 2010
After you enter the IMAGE URL, and the code is generated, go in between the last " and the /> and enter the phrase:
height=“less than 200 preferrably”
and then post it.
royhobbs - April 7, 2010
Awesome, thank you.
McCann and McWill - April 7, 2010
I’ll tell you what, if an occasion tonight warrants the redwood pic…I’m not using no fucking height tag
Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010

Nice job, Meds
Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010
Medlen
Nasty Changeup
UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010
Good way to start out there, Meds.

NCChopper - April 7, 2010

kreese555 - April 7, 2010
That changeup was wicked.
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
Don't worry everyone
Matt Diaz is still on the bench.
royhobbs - April 7, 2010
Depressing
Yet Melky is in left
UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010
He doesn't help much

Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
Melky is not much better again RHP

UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010
Booted another ball
MatM - April 7, 2010
Any chance that Meds becomes a starter someday?
fphjr01 - April 7, 2010
Error is spelled P-R-A-D-O, apparently.
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
scored a 1B
for some reason
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
Not sure why either. I mean, it was hit pretty damn hard, but he could have snagged it.
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
All he had to do is get in front of the ball, instead he tries to back hand it. ugh
UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010
Come on, Dorn!!
bravos1984 - April 7, 2010
Get in front of the ball Dorn! lol
MatM - April 7, 2010
LMAO..
Mighty Healthy - April 7, 2010
Prado probably could've knocked that one down
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
Wow
scored a hit sorry Meds
UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010
Tough call
mdhenshaw - April 7, 2010 via mobile
They shouldn’t do wide shots with Meds on the mound. He looks like a child out there.

Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010
WOW! GLAUS!!!

Kinda making up for his error. Somewhat. Almost.
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
Seriously
If anyone is going to make a defensive play that takes runs off the board, it would be Heyward.
royhobbs - April 7, 2010
i dont think so. That error could cost us the game

i dont think so. That error could cost us the game

Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010
Glaus almost made up for that boot earlier.
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
Nice, but really wasn’t a terribly difficult play, definitely doesn’t make up for his earlier shenanigan.
MatM - April 7, 2010
Maybe Glaus just needs more difficult plays
The easiest one of the night is the one he booted
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
Glaus
unassisted DP? i’ll take it
drumzalicious - April 7, 2010
I told my dad Monday that I was afraid we had used up all of our runs for this series in the first game and that we would probably score 2 tonight. Looks like I overestimated it.
BullManUGA - April 7, 2010

No, but that would be awesome.
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010

BRaves1 - April 7, 2010

Two nasty pitches there

Glaus took 2 pretty good pitches then swings at BS
Mighty Healthy - April 7, 2010
those two breaking balls

UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010

GoBravesNY - April 7, 2010
Ok, I hate the fact I hear the Cubs fans cheering more than ours.
NCChopper - April 7, 2010
that's
until Heyward comes up to bat lol
drumzalicious - April 7, 2010
WHY DID I START GLAUS AND LEAVE GARRET JONES ON THE BENCH
Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010
lol
drumzalicious - April 7, 2010
Mistook Garret Jones
for Garret Anderson?
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
Alcohol

Bronn - April 7, 2010
The cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems.
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
Because you enjoy inflicting pain on yourself
bravos1984 - April 7, 2010
How Glaus was swinging in game 1, you must have been drunk
Mighty Healthy - April 7, 2010
Mike Sweeney would have signed for the minimum lol
Mighty Healthy - April 7, 2010
Yunel just does not see the ball from his hand
This is horrible
UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010
to those that are watching
how’s the attendance
drumzalicious - April 7, 2010
Looks a little above average lots of Cubs fans
UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010
good sized crowd
Mighty Healthy - April 7, 2010
When I got there around 5, the following tickets were sold out: $1 skyline, outfield pavilion, upper deck, BOGO terrace. I had to go with a SRO ticket. Of course there were single tickets to be had for $30+, but that’s not in my budget. Keep in mind I was only looking for one ticket, not trying to get 2 or 5 people sitting together.
Lizziebeth - April 8, 2010
christ
that was outside
UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010
At this point,
I’d be happy with a ball in play
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010

Well, we got that…

But you gotta move to Atlanta. :)
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
Ah the spring.
Love is the air.
McCann and McWill - April 7, 2010
Will you throw in season tickets?
NCChopper - April 7, 2010
It could happen.
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
Yeah I was just going to say.
You could that guy that the pine tar on his bat was actually liquefied baby and he’d still take the same approach at the plate.
The Feathered Warrior - April 7, 2010
Glaus is a good guy
Just still working on his timing he basically did not play all of last year
UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010
Very Garret Anderson esque
MatM - April 7, 2010
The .400 avg from ST wasn’t going to last
bighop - April 7, 2010
The 2nd game of the season, and Glaus is already the new FUGA,
give him a break.

94 pitches for Dempster…we just need to keep it close and crack that pen
Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010
Lets hope
If we get to Marmol, we get the one who cant even hit the backstop
UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010
Dempster’s looked very good.
soup du jour - April 7, 2010
Marmol is always a possibility to walk bases loaded...
fphjr01 - April 7, 2010
Yes.
they’ve got a lot of holes out there
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
This
Get into that soft underbelly, and we got this
royhobbs - April 7, 2010
Ernie Johnson:
1.2.3…AGAIN.
NCChopper - April 7, 2010
Marmol will shut us down
I hope we see Jeff Sumardja
Mighty Healthy - April 7, 2010
Marmol will either strike out the side, or walk in a run.
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
Haha,
exactly
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
we're swinging at BS today though, so he'll K the side
Prado, Glaus, and Esco been swinging at everything.
Mighty Healthy - April 7, 2010
Sometimes
you just need to get past the SP and everything is OK
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
Marmol
will either walk the first 3 or strike out the side, no in between
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
i was just about to say that.
ccarr25 - April 7, 2010
That’s a strike
MatM - April 7, 2010
Man, I remember Medlen’s first game…he was nervous as fuck. Good to see him throwing with confidence.

Jay212033 - April 7, 2010
FUCK…Marshall warming up
Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010
make sense
Heyward due up
UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010
If there’s anyone who can dismantle him, it’s Heyward
Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010
Nah
He tired. And we still have Matt Diaz.
royhobbs - April 7, 2010
That means
Matt Diaz pinch-hitting for Medlen, I believe
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
Meds change is filthy
kreese555 - April 7, 2010
You mean his "dave"pitch?
mdhenshaw - April 7, 2010 via mobile
No, Meds calls his “steve.” They hang out on the weekends and watch Cricket.
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
So, is Dempster this good?
Or is our offense still bad?
Mike Kerns - April 7, 2010
a little bit of both… Lots of swinging empty tonight
UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010
Both could stand to regress toward the mean a little.
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
Evidently so
Jay212033 - April 7, 2010
I think Dempster is dealing today…maybe not THIS good, but he’s definitely a solid #2.
soup du jour - April 7, 2010
I think i read that he was 0-9 pitching at the Ted.
HEYJUDE - April 7, 2010
I'm curious how Heyward will do against LHP
Hmmmm….
Mighty Healthy - April 7, 2010
Didn't Marshall strike him out Monday?

It was a clothesline . . . FROM HELL
royhobbs - April 7, 2010
Looks like Fontenot was trying to get a bit frisky and Renteria was having none of it.
soup du jour - April 7, 2010
Edgar was pissed
He almost fought Ted Lilly after being plunked but he got ejected, so Rents took it out on the rookie Fontenot on a steal.
royhobbs - April 7, 2010
...
NOW I remember! He stole on the next pitch, if my memory serves me correctly…and yes, closeline from hell.

FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
Holy crap! This is a Judo throw I teach my students!
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 7, 2010
I think it's a case of Dempster being a little ahead of our hitters.
We’ll be fine
kreese555 - April 7, 2010

BRaves1 - April 7, 2010
PTC has gotta be Meds
Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010
its looking like only Meds right now, although Heyward still has a shot, as does someone off the bench
GoBravesNY - April 7, 2010
Whoever
gets the GW hit
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
and now its not Heyward. Its gonna be Meds and whoever gets the GW hit
GoBravesNY - April 7, 2010
actually maybe Heap. We’ll see
GoBravesNY - April 7, 2010
Marshall in it looks like
Damn, hopefully we learned something from Monday
UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010
yep
And we get to see how Heyward adjusts to the lefty.
kreese555 - April 7, 2010
Scares me a bit
Just dont see that many good lefties in the minor leagues. Granted Marshall is not a “great” lefty

Happy thoughts
Anyone else remember Amazin’ Avenue flipping out when Jerry Manuel made the choice to leave Pedro Feliciano in against Matt Diaz with the bases loaded?
Man, those were great times
royhobbs - April 7, 2010
Those comments were classic
Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010
Speaking of the Mets
has our good buddy Manny “I’ll Cost Ya” made it into a game yet
UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010
That was a no-win situation
Leave him in and its Feliciano vs Diaz, take him out and Bobby PH’s with Chipper.
fphjr01 - April 7, 2010
At least it’s just 1 run down… we don’t need to start 2010 with a 1 run loss this early.
I think the next 2 at bats will be different.
NCChopper - April 7, 2010
lol Moylan

royhobbs - April 7, 2010
No anti-Glaus posts yet…kind of disappointed.
Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010
Patience, grasshopper
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
Although I’ve seen him twitching. Know what’s up with that?
soup du jour - April 7, 2010
It’s withdrawal from the lack of home runs.
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010

Well played, sir.
Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010
lol
You new here, cowboy? You know the drill. 9:20 am.
royhobbs - April 7, 2010
Wasn’t there a game last year where by the time the game was over there was like 4 anti- fanposts already?
Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010
True
Can’t remember who, I think it was GA
royhobbs - April 7, 2010

Nasty Pitch

So far,

Good Scoop
Glaus
UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010
Good scoop by Glaus.
NCChopper - April 7, 2010
I agree
UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010
Nice pick by Glaus
Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010
That had bad news written on it, but he snagged it, phew.
MatM - April 7, 2010
Glaus looks to be settling in at 1B. Good scoop and a couple of good plays.
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
Minus the bases loaded error
UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010
Potentially game costing… nonetheless.
Cammando2317 - April 7, 2010
Sadly
right now its true
UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010
certainly game costing..
Mighty Healthy - April 7, 2010
Well, a few good plays to one bad one. I can see him getting a little better as the season goes on.
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
Here’s to the optimism!

Good try though

hahaha… that was alllllmost another one like last night.
FineHamAbounds - April 7, 2010
I love when my fucking power shuts off in the middle of a Braves game.
Scott Coleman - April 7, 2010
haha. I was wondering where you went
GoBravesNY - April 7, 2010
supposedly
some dumbass worker was “doing normal checks” on the powerbox and “cut the wrong cord.” How the hell do you cut the wrong cord? You should probably know what cord to cut if you’re an electrician. You might, you know, hurt yourself if you don’t.
Scott Coleman - April 7, 2010
Cut the red wire
THERE ALL RED!!!!!

Smoltz has said a lot of interesting stuff. I need more Maddux stories though.
McCann and McWill - April 7, 2010
Yeah, he wasn’t bad last night during the Yanks/Sox game
Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010
Great minds think alike McCann
LAKERJK - April 7, 2010
haha. correct
McCann and McWill - April 7, 2010
I am really enjoying listening to Smoltzie tonight on my MLB.tv!
LAKERJK - April 7, 2010
Cubs announcers making fun of overweight Braves fans doing the wave

But funny.

because there are zero overweight dudes at Wrigley doing embarrassing crap

If the Braves come back from this game
I’ll order one of those awful Heyward car windshield shirts.

Why wasn’t that a strike, wtf
MatM - April 7, 2010
Prado really botched that one
Smoltz's Beard - April 7, 2010
He's been kind of
“¡Ole!” today
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
Prado's defense is pissing me off today
Mighty Healthy - April 7, 2010
It has been bad
his “error” earlier was horrible
UltimaParadox - April 7, 2010
If we wanted 2 bonehead plays and a head-high strikeout, we'd kept KJ

Much like Glaus’ DP, it doesn’t subtract opposing runs, though.

Moylan is my hero.

Practically the whole Cubs team is a jerk

Sorry if its been brought up...
but that umps strike calling is fucking obnoxious.

Nah, I like it. No doubt about the call.

Stop hating already. He very nearly had a great bunt. Give him credit
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
And an easy 6-3
of course
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
What I want to know is why Cabrera is still hitting against a lefty in the 8th inning with the Braves down 2-1? Where the hell is Matty?
UMDBHIK - April 7, 2010

AllSaintsDay - April 7, 2010
Heyward RBI double in 2nd...
Braves immediately stopped hitting until just now, when Prado doubled, Chipper homered
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
JJ was great through 4
then struggled mightily in the 5th, gave up 2 runs
Jacob Peterson - April 7, 2010
Heyward double + Chipper HR
= 3-2 lead.
schlagdawg - April 7, 2010
Heyward RBI double
Cubs get 2 unearned runs off JJ due to shitty defense.
Chipper does what Chipper does. 2 run homer.
ATLandUNC - April 7, 2010
jurrjens pitched good not great
bad hitting
chip just hit a 2 rum homer to put us in the lead
BRaves1 - April 7, 2010
Heyward RBI in 2nd
Braves suck until 8th after losing lead
Prado 2B, Chipper Homer
Wood
