Open Thread 5/27: Braves at Marlins 2

Another open thread for your late night chatting pleasure. Huddy pitched good, especially when one considers the driving rain he was pitching in. It's up to the bullpen now...

Runs threaD?
solidify the defense thread
no runs

then runs

agreed

how about the braves win thread

Strikeouts thread.

uggla is out

Pete says “That’s how we roll down under, son!”

1 pitch out for FYF
sounds

familiar

Always swing at the first pitch

In case it’s a strike.

I'm thread dizzy now.

3 threads

is a charm

sweet!

i picked the right thread!

You need another one of those.

Did I miss one or are you hoping for another?

I wanted another.
Why not?

i pride myself on my MS Paint skills, but you’re in another league.

I love that. Moylan looks llike a sad panda/high. I can’t decide yet

lmao Joe

some of the folks stuck around

Moving this often reminds me of college.

kept failing?

Ha. No. I mean I moved from my hometown to college to a new city in four years.

and it's only the 5th inning
wheeeeee, down the middle,

thanks that the batter didnt swing

Continuing the crowd noise conversation

Last inning you could hear someone say “Hey Escobar, hows that hitting streak? One game? Nice!”

That’s both clever and sad at the same time.

yeah

heard that

I heard that right when I turned my tv on.

Escobar responded with

Que?

“Sex? Sex?”

That cracked me up.

“Why, thank you! The highlights do look natural, don’t they?”

that cut was nasty

missed by a long-shot

1 more Pete!!!

For some reason I’m wanting a frozen orange…

go on…

all the orange seats…frozen orange is a concoction served at the Varsity, tastes like a creamsicle. Like an frozen coke, but orange instead of coke. Yum

hmm… sounds good

Gosh that sounds great. I love creamsicles, so this would be divine.

Psssssssssssssh

an frozen? sounds like my brain is frozen

What sound do you mean in Pssssssssh? Because I’m reading it as the jewish sound that would be typed that way meaning awesome

Oh

not up to par on my judaism! Pssssh is the sound I know as “jeez, you’re stupid” or “how ridiculous”. Learn something new!

haha. I should hold you all to being Jewish for one weekend, or at least electronically removed. That would be fun

I’d do it.

Try it. You’ll find it interesting. My rules- no electronics or driving from 8 PM Friday night until 9:09 PM Saturday. You can, but don’t have to, go to a local synagogue and must have chicken (unless vegiterain, etc….) at least once.
You game?

Let me get back to you. It’s not that I won’t — I just thought it mostly involved kvetching about the neighbors.

I’m 20 miles from the Ted. Can’t walk that. When the team’s out of town I’m with my 90 year old grandparents, so I have to drive them somewhere on Saturday! Can I wear pants to the synagogue? Won’t go to any religious gathering that I’m forced to wear prescribed clothing. Am I allowed to speak and/or sing? Again, won’t participate in any religious faction that restricts me based on my gender. The other stipulations you mention are doable.
Why 909?

Does this count as number 3 thread?

technically the thread I made was titled a ‘Rain Delay Thread’

Lets keep us this new thread per inning, i might make it to the end of the game!

feels like pete has thrown a lot more than 22 pitches

Well done Moylan!

there it is pete
FUCK YES

quality

NOW START THE MASSIVE RAINSTORM

We need to get Hanson up in the bullpen then. Dude can bring the Rain.

I thought he might make another bad throw :/
good job Moylan

get some rest

so who pitches next? Venters for 2?

I would say yes.

Haithcock!!

I wonder how many people have no idea what this means.

/shudders as to what may happen to them

well that took 24 pitches

but no runs is good to see

PH

for moylan in the 3rd spot

damn cantu

took 20 of those pitches

Moylan saying “WTF? I don’t pitch the fifth.”

Man, wish I could go to a game AND see the Beach boys for free

Coming up next

In play, run(s)

lets goto work!
Oh Dear

DC getting the hail out of nowhere

that is pretty random. Must be a sign that Strassburg is coming.

ugh

3 errors on the night = embarrassing

Melky’s wasn’t bad. Esco and PeMo, yeah

Esco's

error wasnt bad either, it was a combination of glauses and esco’s fault

no

it was bad…and we thought you were leaving?

We can bring Hudson back in to pinch hit for PeMo, right? I think that’s how rain delays work.

If this was girl’s softball, you’d be on to something

If this was girl’s softball, I’d be off to something.

Hey-oh.

Esco went deep? Tonight?
 
Yunel Escobar?

Maybe during the rain delay.

how about an XBH esco

then i’ll believe you’re starting to unslump

unfair.

i just want him on base

got your wish

walked

So, wait, now you’re back because we’re doing well? I’m confused

how about a walk?

LOL the flyers have scored more in their last 7 games than the phillies have

heard that

Thats awesome

thats amazing

Fuck the Flyers.

I agree

and I live here

As a Bruins fan, I am incredibly bitter.

Ive rooted for the Devils, Bruins, Habs, and now the Blackhawks

lmao

Flyers outscoring the Phillies

This. That’s awesome

Tough for the phillies to score

When their lead-off man has an OBP of .300.

Esco walks

he is on a roll

Escobar knows how to walk....

It’s amazing how he can go from being impatient to patient back to impatient during the course of the game.

Walk for Esco!

Yunel walks?

What is this, Bizarro Miami?

leadoff BB for esco

woah. not sure DRoss was out there

Fuck…he was safe.

Ross was safe as fuck

I don’t know about that call…

wow that was close

thought Ross beat it out

When did Ross

learn to bunt so well,

U KIDDEN ME. HE WAS SAFE
They BARELY got Ross....

To get Ross, they must have used time-warp technology, cause he beat the throw.

Yes. I am aware of that after seeing the replays.

Wait, did the fans boo the "out" call?

Are Braves fans outnumbering the partisans, there?

yeah, 3 Braves fans, only 2 fish fans

don't forget the multiple vendors out there
terrible call

Yup. Clearly safe.

WTF

he was SAFE

SAAAAAAFE!!!
BULLSHIT

HE WAS SAFE

SAFE, oh well.

a hit makes it irrelevant

I guess we're going to get NO calls in the infield tonight on either side.

ROSS was SAFE Dammit.

Back in time to see that TERRRIBLE CALL
bring em home OMAR!!!
Infante!! Tienes que representar amigo
we are not

getting any calls tonight

do we ever though?
even without the bias glasses on

those were MISSED calls

“You can smell the jet fuel coming off David Ross’ cleats.”

another terrible call made by this crew tonight....

guess umpires have off nights too

2 bad calls at 2B
1 bad call at 1B
and rain delay nonsense

Damn, is it just me or are the umps fucking killing us this season? We better start getting some calls soon to even this shit out.

omar looks spooked by the outside corner

C’mon Omar! Rock the casbah!

C.B. Bucknor’s ineptness is contagious

He is pretty awful. Anytime you know an umpire’s name its a bad thing.

1ST AND 3RD

FOR PRADOOOOOOOOO

Omar! There we go.

Finally some fucking luck this game.

Omar

gets a bloop hit

Ok probably been out at second there either way

omarrrrrrrrrr

Time to Joey Devine this kid in his debut.

Hit a 3 run bomb in the 18th inning?

give up

multiple grand slams?

could be a long night

Nope

In his ML debut, he pitched a scoreless inning, then Bobby sent him out there for another inning, and thats when he gave up the slam.

didnt he give up a slam the

first 2 appearances?

Good way to battle. Tough pitch
alright Prado

bring em home buckaroo

Bases should be loaded with no outs

FML.

Sac Fly do it
Prado Has To

Know that a sac fly is not a bad thing.

As long as Escobar tags from third….

Dang it! 0-2 count

Should Omar steal 2nd?

better be damn sure
Yes he should

I wouldn’t send him, no.

He would be save the last 2 pitches
Philly vidros AGAIN AGAIN to end the inning
I say tell Infante to steal
seriously

and then steal home with esco on the throw

fuck no. this eliminates the sac fly!

ouch

that had to hurt

Nitram Odarp!!!
2-2

I send him now hit and run

YES MARTINNNNNN

Prado is infeugo!

PrADO!!!

so fucking good

prayyyyyyydoooooooooooo
Prado

is a machine at hitting singles

Interesting Question

MVP to this point. Heyward or Prado?

No question. Heyward

Couldn’t go wrong with either one….

Chavez

I think he meant for the Braves, not Braves opponents

heyward, no doubt
I think it is Heyward

Because of the power numbers but how many times did he drive Prado in?

I’d say close to half of Heyward’s RBIs have to be Prado scoring….

Umpire

for the Fish

Prado seemed to be keeping us in games almost by himself for a while, but Heyward.

Broken bat Hit!

Imagin if the bat wouldnt have shattered

now we just need Heyward to go yard

it’s been forever

pretty much

hit a homerun 4 hours ago

Another mult-hit game for Marteen and his 61st

In play, run(s)!

you called it
well...

someone called it up there

I typed it after the fact.
 
I’m fine with taking the credit, though.

Me. :)

ah there we go

nice call

Better late then never!

calling a chipper jones righty bomb
doubt it,

probably either a double play or a straight up double with 2 RBIs

no chance at a vidro

cuase Heyward is gonna clear the bases real fast with HR #10

are you a troll or not?

pick a side

he's everyone's favorite Martian

JAYWON HEYWARD? REALLY CHIP?

Nitram Odarp hates baseballsbats!

Daisy was the better Fuente.

a big fly would put this game away

come on j-Hey!

listen to what I say

What did Chip just call Heyward?

Jaywon.

I’d rather drive a rusty nail in bigjoe’s dick than listen to Chip call a game

Ahh…I miss that kid.

where is he anyway?

he used to be on all the time, back when i was a reader and not a comment-poster.

He has his own blog now. Bravesheart.com

its not bad, but i’ve been spoiled by the format of this blog. Picture posting, direct replies, its hard to beat.

Agreed. The commenting on their needs a major overhaul. Can you imagine if this blog went back to the way it used to be back in the day? Yikes.

I must have just missed it, because i don’t think i joined too far after you did.

Let me assure you, it was rough.

He’s off writing his own successful blog at bravesheart.com….you can be his 10th reader

okaaaaaaaay

what the hell! Screwing up your own team’s player’s names? are you seriously serious?!?!?

Didn’t want to get sued by a nonprofit for copyright infringement.

/thinks about drawing Prado, wonders how he got into this mess

does anyone else think chipper’s depressed that Bobby’s leaving and calling it quits cause of that?

I haven't used my Heyward Truck in a while... would like to now.
oh

Taylor Tankersly, long time no see

i saw this guy pitch for bama a few years back
same!

He was pretty decent with the Marlins a few years back too for situational lefty

the few times I saw him, he wasn't really overly impressive

but every team needs lefty relievers I suppose

see Mike Stanton
So who here plays Basballe?

I play but only at local parks, not with high school. Not a fan of HIgh School ball. Outfielder here btw.

Haven’t played since my HS team.

softball count

did play some SS in school

Did for a year in college

2 years of HS, blew out my knee during freaking batting practice junior year and missed senior year.

That sucks man. What happened? In the batter’s box or shagging fly balls?

Indoor hitting in the cage since it was raining. Was wearing Nike Shox and one of the shox ripped and i rolled over my ankle and twisted my knee out of place

Wow. What a freak accident.

I haven’t worn a pair of Nike Shox since.

How sick is it that every time Heyward is up late game, already, teams are going to a lefty?

would prefer they stick to righties but

this gives him time to adjust

oh man

thought heyward was gonna rape that pitch

Is Jason Heyward gonna have to rape a pitch?

damn heyward

Where at in WV?

So late J-Hey

Lies!!!!!!!!!!

well...

a HR would be nice…no pressure though

Can’t remember Heyward’s last K.

it was the last AB =P

too soon?

I didn’t join in until the rain delay was already on.

Never mind.
 
I’m a dumbass.

WHAT

that was a strike?

Chipper batting right handed = train wreck
he

has been better right handed actually

WHATTT

Tiny strike zone all night, and he calls THAT?

Paulino sure can frame it

Alvaro would say that Heyward was due for a regression…

-C

That guy is even more stubborn that Justin and Sanchez.

hows the weather by you

its the apocolypse here

Calm and clear. Got kind of confused when you mentioned hail.

strange -- must be on its way -- I'm west of you I think

Interesting. So apocalypse on the way…should I be gathering supplies right now? Can it wait till the game is over?

Aaaaaand there’s the thunder.

He sure is......

in 20 years

Not really

The only thing that has been iffy is his HR/FB ratio. but he’s got so much power its not unreasonable to think he could be a 20% plus guy.

Big cut

by Chip there

wow

the most pathetic slow clap in history right there

Negative Ghost-rider the Pattern is full

Whatever happened to that Marlins’ pitcher with the one hand?

Best one handed pitcher ever

Jim Abbott

There have been more than one?

I know alfonseca had 6 fingers on one hand

He always creeped me out for some reason. I thought it was the beard.

And if wasn’t so dang ugly – tons of girlfriends. ;-)

Everyone runin
chipper

Walks

Hinske no Ks please

Chipper has no power.
haha

chipper walking….i feel like i’ve seen this before

Chipper is now tied for 1st in the NL with 34 walks....
Chipper - 34th tied for NL leader

and #1 Braves all-time

Matthews 2d, Aaron 3rd

Is it POWAH time?

Even better.
 
In Hinske We Trust

BASES LOADED!! MOAR RUNZ PLZ!!

Ok sometimes I think we play poorly and win, but tonight we deserve a win

We ALWAYS deserve to win

your due hinske!

well chip’s OBP is ridiculous at like .390 or something

Nobody fears CHipper anymore. They all just groove fastballs across the plate cause they know he can’t hit ’em

accept he constantly walks

If they just groove fastballs across the plate, then how has he walked 34 times?

Blind umpires?

I guess I forgot to type that with the “sarcasm” font on

BECAUSE EVEN CHUMPER JONES CAN JUST STAND THERE.
WHO IS THAT?

I gotta run. FML. Go Winnar!

Thats just not right

damn........
Hinske fouls out

ugh

fail with the bases chucked right there
impatiences fucks the braves.

Nice Hiensky, nice

They should bottle up Mike Morgan and sell him over the counter……
 
 
 
 
……..as a sleep aid.

“if still unable to sleep, add one dose of Mark Lemke”

Did Hinske curse again?
I hope he does,

that was a terrible at bat

Depends on your definition of “Motherfucker.”

Did you know

We would not have the word “motherfucker” if the Bank of America hadn’t been around in 1754 to begin that tradition?
 
It’s facts.

Well played, sir.

Didn’t BofA invent sliced bread, too? And then they left a few slices out and accidentally discovered penicillin.

Nice play on the topic. That’s a good job outta you.

It goes back even farther than that. They discovered yeast to make bread by scraping the walls of Mother Earth’s vagina, and then gave it to the cavemen. They then invented fire.

hinske isn;t hitting as well as he was
one game

couple games....
maybe not i retract my statement
let's riot and kill him

get melky some more playing time

Yeah, that’s why Hinske doesn’t start against lefties.

Welcome Hinske to Earth

so sick of this damn willy wonka commercial with the creepy ginger on the bench

-1000 for gingers
they have no souls...
This!
Coppercab (look him up on youtube) begs to differ

I was born one.
 
That’s not nice.

I like redheads.

This is, essentially, what I meant by "WTF no"

He’s not handling the pressure well at all. put him back at 7th

one game

….

against a tough lefty

WOW

that was a slap to the face to the 2nd base ump

he deserves to be physically harmed
Just curious

How many calls have the umpires missed tonight?

This is for Joe Simpson.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GL6LH6ufhM

Is anybody going to see that movie?
I might be talked into it.
K

Venters is dirty

Venters

Oops, wrong way there....FIX

Venters works fast

I like that

So does NCCHopper

Man, can’t wait til Jojo completes his rehab and takes this scrub’s spot in the BP.

oh god please no
sadly...

it might happen…they love that guy

not even a matter to joke about
haha

here I will help you

/SARCASM

sarcasm

i hope?

I thought he was replacing Meddelin?

Hanson still has options, and he’s been a little off lately. . .

Any relation to Cripps Madeline?

lol this is so dumb

but I crack up every single time

Chris Resop!
Glaus showing off the speed there

looked like he was doing the truffle shuffle to get to that ball

+1 for truffle shuffle

HAHA,

nothing better than watching a fat man try to catch those foul balls.

Venters F T W

Venters with some great work.

OMG

i have such a man-crush on venters

Marlins just got Venters Pwn'd
That Venters guy

is ok

nice IP for venters

11,381 official attendance.
 
Actual attendance – 116

Including both teams.
don't forget the groundscrew
you forgot the decimal point its:

11.6

Man, that would have to suck to be that .6 of a person.
 
Is that torso or from the waist down?

is it male or female? and do the parts still work?

3/5 of a person??

That’s racist!!

-C

Is that a history joke!

Do I detect a Laugh-In reference?

Depends on the measurement(s).

-100

then -another 9 = 7…as i stated earlier

that includes the cotton candy, beer, and hot dog vendors

At this point the vendors are trying to get each other to buy their stuff

“I trade you a beer for a hot dog” “Fuck it, whatever”

If I lived in Florida...

and went to the stadium, do you think they would let me in for free at this point?

nice venters

13 pitches — hopefully we can get 1 more IP

We need to get Venters Moylan's conditioning
where are we in the order

I want to see more Venters…chances we PH for him? 100%

if we get to him

then great

Not that I want to use everyone

but we could go EOF, Saito, Wags and be in good shape

Venters nice inning!

hey marlins

ya can’t hit the ball if ya don’t swing the bat!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_Bd5-APPBw

Inning over already?
 
I was too busy following along here.

John John doesn't fuck around

Your name is Joe John?

Johnny Venters = John John

quote fail.

yeah...

sorry didn’t get it

Have a cousin named Carol Carroll

that’s just mean.

Love does stupid things

she married into it!

Haha that’s hilarious.

Phils don’t score again. Still 1-0 Mets in 6th.

They should blow that team up.

How do you build a team around Chase Utley and Ryan Howard? Dummies……………and uh Halladay sucks.

we flip shit when we can't score

they must be on suicide watch with that lineup getting shutout like that

who started

and who is pitching now for the Mets?

Glaus likes to wait

till the 7th to hit

Troy just GLAUS'D one to center....
ringing single

Really?

haha

Glaus…don’t even act like you’re going for 2

they ought to let both broadcasts teams sit in the lower level behind home plate

plenty of room for them

Nothing better than that beautiful sound of that bat.

Run fat man, run

Was it a ringing sound?

Seriously, Chip, a “ringing single?”

POWAH!!!!!!!

damn wish there was runners on there

so we can have another visit from the Santa Glaus

Troy is not even ALLOWED in mexico

Then where did I get this?

well played rhyno
Well played Mauer.
As a batter,

Melky has to upper cut in this at bat to avoid double play.

your baseball knowledge is unparalleled

Melky fail. cant even do the obvious right
Melky

trying hard for that 3U

He’ll find a way

Venters & KK swap?

While JJ is out…?

KK has been pitching fine.

Yes the last few starts

but he could use the confidence boost of not getting the loss…

True, unfortunately that’s not really up to him.

Pfftttt…..KK just doesn’t know how to winz. He’s no D. Lowe.

ELLO PEOPLE!
droppin in to say hi! :D

Hows it hangin?

Good, just tired. I want this game to end (with us winning of course) so i can sleep.

you're back!

are you staying?

Do u want me to stay?

You kiddin’? I’ve been out of tea for hours!

/pokes self in the eye
/cries sweet tea

You’re a real humanitarian, you know that?

anyone surprised he's not bunting?
Didn't even think about that...

but now that you mention it, yes.

lol bobby really riding that "hot" bat
would have to be a hell of a bunt

to move Glaus over

melky is the best bunter IN THE WORLD

Glaus

at least you tried

melky sure did glaus a favor
At least no GIDP....and Melky is faster than Glaus....marginally

Glaus was trucking it

haha

hard “slide” by Glaus…more like tumble to the ground

not the most graceful slide. scary really.

Nice slide Glaus

On the news tonight, Earthquake in South Florida!!!!!!!!!!

all 5 fans felt it

and the beer vendor spilled the beer he was pouring

Don’t joke about things like that.

It registered a 22 on the Richter scale
Cabrera Trips, Falls; No Injuries or Significant Damage Reported

For a second there, i was like “Another Earthquake?” Then followed a dumb feeling.

those avid Florida fans

booing their own pick-off throws?

Esco finding a way to 200!
Melky

almost did not slide back far enough

ESCO!!! RBI double

YUNEL!!!!!!!!
Dig it out Melkman.
TRIPLE...no just a Double
sweet.. I turn on the TV and see Melky

running around third and scoring!!!

Yunel! 2 hit game.

ESCO!!!!

starting to come around

That would be fantastic.

Back to back multi-hit games for Escobar
that is the old esco that I could marginally stand

How’s that hitting streak now Escobar?!?!?!?!?!?!

2 games?

nice!

Shame, that ball was scortched
OOOHHOOOHHOOO

Braves are winning by too much. I have to leave the thread.
 
- Negative Nancy

Major stinkage by Hudson. I demanded a no hitter.

I’m with you!

I recall people saying

FUCK u escobar earlier in the Game thread
WHAT ARE U SAYING NOW =]

Fuck u escobar

that should have been a homer

WE GOTS GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS!!!

Bad News: Hinske has come back to Earth
Good News: He brought Escobar with him

Awsome my friend. Awesome. +1

I can see it in Bobby’s eyes. He’s itching to get Saito up. McDowell and Fupa are trying to talk him out of it. If need be, Fupa will sit on Bobby to prevent him from grabbing that phone.

Madcap comedy ensues.

If FUPA sits on Bobby, he’ll have to retire a lot earlier than he planned to.

damn Ross

just a few more feet to the left

weak

just a little more to the left and that’s another run

Conrad up

Venters done

yep

emptying the BP tonight. Thanks rain.

Pirates next

Not a big deal.

EOF up next to throw the baseball thingy at the other guy.

bring em home brooksy

EOF will take the bottom of the 7th.

Did you guys see that the SEC is implementing a baseball “shot clock”?

Whaaat?

With no runners on base, there's a pitch clock.

Joe West approves of attempt to shorten games

Heard it this morning on 680. Leo, Chris and Perry spiraled into a shouting match over it. Stupid idea, IMHO.

They’re just doing it for the tournament, at least for the moment. The amount by which they’d get off-schedule was ridiculous.

EOF up next to pitch.
so it's about to storm really bad here in D.C.

might be losing power soon…

quick

get the hamster generator

Really hope the power doesn’t go out before I have a chance to get drunk.

drink now and fast

its crazy where I am. Like intermittent daytime with lightning.

Evan Williams to the rescue!

Yeech. Evil Evan. That is like just a half step above Heaven Hill.

I actually don’t mind it. Jameson is my go to, but too expensive.

Jameson is great but I still prefer Maker’s Mark. Early Times is my fave cheap whiskey

Been a while since I’ve had MM, but I don’t remember being particularly impressed. I’ll have to check out Early Times. Someone recommended Dewars white label so I picked up a couple airplane bottles and it was really good. Not sure how much the big bottles cost.

lol

When I saw “MM” I immediately thought of medical marijuana until I hit Dewars…living in Denver has its perks.

-C

I prefer 10 high whiskey

Never heard of it.

LOL

bc its 7 dollars and in a plastic bottle

Jesus. Do you buy it from a guy in a back alley out of his car trunk?
That shit sounds shady as hell.

bottom shelf stuff man, college living was rough and it was a handle too!

does Aristocrat make whiskey? Aristocrat vodka was pretty much a given at all of our college parties…and we paid the price every morning.

the worst ones at all our parties were Bankers Club and Popov

or should i say best

Ha, never heard of those either.

it might be a regional thing

Popov was pretty decent. Ever tried Barton’s?

Can’t say I have

Bartons….ruined my sophomore year of college.

After that, I just sold it to minors for enough cash to upgrade.

-C

I like your style.

Ah, good ol’ charcoal filtered vodka.

Tastes as good as it sounds.

Nope.

My friends refused to believe there was a vodka cheaper than the ’Crat. I took a pic to prove it to them.

I took a shot of that

absolutely fucking terrible…worst thing ever

Oh ya. Thats why it was only used in making hunch punch

Wowwwww.

How long ago was this? Of course I quit 8 years ago. Just don’t remember ever seeing this!

’Bout 2 yrs ago. Its still on the market, I think. Godawful rotgut.

yea I took that shot like 3 months ago

It looks so little in your hand. Cheaper than Bartons?

My friend bought it….I wanna say he said it was like 4 or 5 bucks

Yeah, slightly cheaper than Bartons. And it was a full liter, I just have big hands.

Anybody heard of this?

Cool Colt Malt Liquor

My economics professor first told me about it several years ago.

Yeah, I think I’ll pass. Old Crow is about as low as I’ll go (sick rhyme sequence).

Try some Rebel Yell. it’ll put hair on your back.

When I miss work the next morning can I blame you?

I’ll gladly sign that permission slip.

Dude…you weren’t kidding about the intermittent daytime.

How does the one affect the other?
can't find mouth in dark...too drunk and disoriented...but then wait...he must already be drunk
got

to separate the alcohol from the rest of the mouth wash?

Filter through esophagus; repeat.

Power outage drinking is almost as awesome as blizzard drinking.

snowed in at college drinking may be the all time best drinking

Nothing better than a blitzed off your ass snowball fight.

Those were good times. We’d always do an Arnold marathon. followed by a beer pong marathon.

Incorrect.

Hurricane Opal party in a frat house. I went streaking through the quad. During a hurricane.

well I live in the northeast...soo

I’ve never experienced anything more than a tropical storm

HURRICANE PARTY
Conrad

can of corn to left

its ok…you hit that GS

i like insurance runs

always fun

On the radio they call em SafeCo Insurance runs.
Pretty clever advertising by SafeCo.

wonder what Esco

was telling that ump

look like he was apologizing for something

LolMets still leading the Phartans, 1-0

Bottom 6th, now.

End of 6

Just as I say something.

esco talking w/ ump?

A sign of maturity? I didn’t see what happened

Yunel apologizing and checking on the ump at the end of the inning...

what did he do? Maybe let the bat come back to hit him after that hit?

“The beauty of the color I’m using now is that it doesn’t wash out so quickly. That cheap stuff used to just melt in this heat. But mow the highlights really stand out and they’re durable.”

LOL

What's the phillies scoreless streak now?

Whatever it is….I hope it goes about another 100 innings.

I'm guessing Derek Lowe has something to say about that...
+1000 innings please

Phorty something

hahahaha

slow motion Huddy shaking off water like a dog

I have always thought Esco

was a mature young player. LOL im calling him young and im only 17

shit

the lone lefty gets a hit on a bunt

that was a strange path to the ball...

and a fail at fielding it

EOF fail? Good bunt…

Awesome

the 4 fan wave behind the plate

wow...

not to pat my own back…but I totally called this earlier

1 is McCann 2 are vendors other one is drunk fan

Wait. Nolasco still gets the loss at this point? Chip is dumb

yea he would…if it holds

sort of a good bunt

hit to hard.

What are the rules about which of our pitchers would get the win tonight if not Huddy?

He was leading when the delay came.

He didn’t pitch 5 innings, so I think the pitcher who ended the 5th gets the win – that’d be Moylan.

He shoulda let KK pitch, he might have gotten a chance at the win.

haha sneaky

I like it

omg

another fail….

you got to be kidding me

two weak ass fucking hits

WTF

2 bush league plays and they have runners on the corners

Enough of the ERRORS please.

Our lead is not large enough here for this bullshit.
agreed

we never seem to get a 1-2-3 inning after getting insurance

No outs. trouble
Carl Lewis voice:

Uh Oh

god I hate hanley ramirez
guessing

Heyward wont win the gold glove in right?

Francoeur did! He is better!

Give him a pass tonight

that field is slick

almost

 a vidro

Whew

Though they had the double play there.

This is a Cincy defense kind of night.

We're playing defense like the Falcons
At least we're strong against the run.
Its like

we have 9 Jamaal Andersons out there

My sig approves of this statement.
Damn

I gotta stop giving you ammo.

Billy Wagner

says thank you

It was already a save opportunity….

man I cant add
thats okay

basic math can be difficult in times of failure

Knew it from the sound of the bat

ball was hit to softly for a double play

Pictures of fielders always means shinanegNs

David Ross says

FUCK YOU CANTU

and F U dolphin!

F U WHALEEEE

nicely done there fellas

Son of a bitch…

sawyer?

I miss Lost

they needed more time to explain everything

They needed to get canceled shortly after creating a fucking mist monster…

-C

wow

we hit the most guys with 2 fucking strikes

now a weak HBP

this inning has everything going wrong

WTF is going on here?
oh that is weak shit
Marlins bring the tying run to the plate....
My bad...

Meant go-ahead run.

SRSLY?

WTF have y’all let them do while I was off in college-land?

What just happened? Not watching but according to yall Heyward failed. That’s not good….

heyward error allowed runner to get to 3rd

Chavez sighting!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I’d rather die a brutal death by jumping off a building, then falling on the road and being squished by a car so they have to carry my squished body off the road than have Chavez in the game.

its funny

Bobby goes out of his way to talk about how good he’s been lately, but won’t pitch him with a lead.

Eddie and Alan (Butts) were grilling him pretty hard in the pen last Thursday morning. It seemed like they were trying to work on his ability to keep runners on base.

in all honesty

who is left in the pen other than saito and wagner…

4 outs for each?

Good night Yall. Done writting for the day.
EOF Fail

brutal outing and didn’t even get one ball hit hard

Yup. Too bad the box score won’t make it look that way.

nuts! Where is kimbrel when we need him?

Would have been nice to have Resop in the pen for multiple innings

Filed under “Things I never thought i’d hear”

Pretty much, yes.

saito in the 7th...
Saito in

guess he will have to g 1.1

why does gamecast have jesse in?

Bobby: “Damn. Saito hasn’t pitched in a long time!”

SEE YA

sit down Dan

Saito when not pitching 4 days in a row

can throw 93mph

so you're saying this rest concept actually works???
maybe
way to hedge your bet there
I like to play it dangerous

I also like to live dangerous.

/austin powers’d

(I probably botched that quote, didn’t I)

rrrrr…rr…r…e…ssss….st?

Sit down Ugly

Ooooh uggla just got DISSED!

better watch out

for the roid rage

pick off cantu

they guy is like 10 yards off the bag

Ross is gettin drilled in the face
Man Ross

his face must hurt

That’s gonna do it for me, gang. Sleep awaits. Until next time.

See ya Saturday. :-)

have some good zzzzzs, will try to hang on here.

Phillies still losing

And yet to score

throw the heat!

gamecast not updating, wtf is going on?

yeah really wtf it also says chavez is in
come on...

get us out of the inning plz

SAITO!

what happened?!?!?!?!
came in w/ runners on 1st and 2nd, 1 out

struck out uggla and ross to end the inning

K

fuck yes saito

Saito with the K

he got all excited

I need an idea for a Saito photoshop.

what about a bruce lee vidcap

enter the dragon or otherwise

Consider it done.

oh Chip

you racist son of a bitch

lol

what did he say?

Domo arigato Mr. Saito

lol i’d chuckle at that

The delivery was horrible.

its his unintentional comedy that makes it kind of funny in an awkward way

Domo Arigato mr Saito

I bet he's been saving that shit up all season.
you know he has

its kinda funny

It's funny in principle...

but he annihilated the delivery. Anything he says/does is awkward and therefore not funny. He’s the guy who ruins everybody else’s joke.

Smile at that

Cody Ross!

Oh my god Chip...

MAJOR Styx fail.

pretty f'n turruble
he's a knucklehead

It was embarrassing to hear – luckily his kids are too young to realize how BAD that was.

LOL... so true.
2 big K's for Saito to get us out of that jam

well, that was exciting

prado leading off?

i can’t remember

According to gameday Chavez is in and there's one out... fuck you mlb.com
Saito was wearing Chavez' jersey

that way he could help his stats the only way possible

Refreshing doesn’t fix it.

i missed the bottom of the 7th

what the hell happened?

Marlins score one on EOF and Saito strikes out Ugly and Ross with runners on 1st and 2nd
sick! thanks.

EOF gave up 1, Saito came in and struck out 2

why

does espn say chavez pitching with one out?

prado is not happy
Nitram Odarp!!!

we need to get some more runs!

MOAR RUNZ!!
Mets score two on Reyes 2B

I never thought I’d say this, but goooo Mets?

is there anyway both teams can lose?

That would be the ideal outcome, but sadly it is not possible.

meteor hits the stadium? first place Braves!

Prado is killing it tonight.

Like most nights….

its become the norm
I become worried when he doesn't have 3 hits after 7 innings

Yeah it’s almost like he’s doing it at least 3 times out of every 10 or something. Maybe there should be a stat for that. lol

going to need

a new set of bats

Dan Meyer

Look at what we’re missing out on

Prado

says fuck you ump, get a hit anyways

Prado sez "Fuck you ump"

I think he actually said “Fuck you Jobu, I do it myself”

Come on Heyward

another blast to 434 ft would be nice

we need ya here big fella
gamday still way behind

Nice! I found a solution to my no cable problem! The gym in my apartment complex has tv’s on the elliptical….hehe….at this rate if i don’t get my cable fixed atleast in another couple months i will be in better shape!haha

haha

watching a baseball game on elliptical would be insanity

Ha! Sweet deal.

I’m a lil’ dizzy! had to go back and get some more water! even better is that they have wifi in the gym so i can be down with all you tc folks!~haha

Nice!

I could handle that…and a shelf for the laptop to be here, too.

lol i have made a shelf! very hard to type though! all the pitches look like curveballs!

Verrrrrrry nice!

Nitram Odarp hates baseballs bats

i might be wrong

but did I just hear the “larry” chant at Heyward?

They figured it was worth a shot...
All 5 fish fans must have been pounding brews during the delay

hard to confuse those 2

maybe heyward looks white out there under those bright lights?
Worst umpires

1. C.B. Bucknor
1a. Bill Hohn
1aa. Angel Hernandez
1aaa. The rest of ’em

Joe West can suck it too
Just about to say...

throw Joe West’s name in the hat.

He's not a ump

he a singer who just happens to umpire and do it terribly

You’re only counting living/active umpires, right?

Joe West should be in with the first 3.

Joe West is pretty fucking terrible. He deserves mention there

who is the guy

with the loud strike calls

Heyward is silly, as usual.

Heyward

walk machine please come again

Heyward EARNED that walk....
heyward

makes walks look so goddamn sexy

BUNT WITH CHIPPER HE HAS NO POWER

I hope he hits a hr it would be pretty funny

He just wanted to pass Matthews for all time walks...

now it’s back to business.

nice AB hey
Chipper going

to single here

replace single with [walk]
same thing haha
:)

no disrepect to your epic 2B call up there

C'mon Chipper....no vidro, no vidro, no vidro

Gameday’s finally caught up.

chipper should be bunting….LOL

wow

quite a few walks it might take Frenchy 300 years to get there

chipper takes another walk?

At the rate Heyward's going

that mark won’t stand long

what is it again?

Chipper

has 1377 walks

sorry, thought he was talking about the rookie walk record

All time walks by a Braves

please dont swing chip

unless you rip it

LOL...

they’re scared of Chip.

no they aren’t. there were like 10 people all over this site 2 weeks ago talking about how no one is afraid of him anymore. And people on the internet know everything

You forgot the sarcasm font again.

Lol... I got it.

Throw one up there for me too.

"They" say...

now that chipper has passed that guy for most walks ever, he might concentrate on getting hits now.

3-0 to Chipper….he’s going for sole possession of 1st in the NL in walks

AND HE GETS IT!

#35!

Hinske due up

only regular w/o a hit tonight

Against a LHP…should be interesting. Walked against him last night, IIRC.

Way to be Chipper!!!
loaded w no outs

BASES LOADED!! MOAR RUNZ!!

Poor ole Fredi

we still want you next year

chipper

needs to publicly “contemplate retirement to opposing teams’ radio stations” every day

Chipper loads the bases - and has sole ownership of the NL Lead in Walks

HEyward HAS TO BE Near the league lead in walks
He's got 27 walks

Before the game, the league leader in walks had 34. Heyward had 27. Chipper had 33.

Chip... stealing Skip's calls.

The embarrassment continues.

HAHA Bases loaded and Freddy wishes he was, not bad Chip
I don't know. I feel like his dad is the only one that can pull that off.

Yeah but I laughed cause I dont expect it from him, hes so PC

Haha

Chip with a line from Skip

Caught that too!

The radio announcers said...

that Chipper passed Eddie Mathews for Braves Franchise walks tonight if I heard correctly.

Bases loaded...No outs

we have to score here

hinske

just drop a bunt.

bases juiced, no outs

pinch me?

just need one of his FBs
Wow

great pitch there by Meyer

Hinske

down 0-2

Phillies have only three hits tonight
not gonna lie

I’m feelin good about Hinske right here

Uggla isn't.
Paulino

not bad defensively, just cant throw out base runners

FUCK YOU MUNCHKIN

damn.... nice play by uggla
ah

so close!!!!!

Wow

Uggla huge Vidro there

crap….o well

Ugly night for Hinske

thats just unlucky on that one though
not optimal but

i’ll take it

that was SOOO 2009

YES!! MOAR RUNZ!!!

Dan Meyer

is showing why Tim Hudson was worth the trade

love Meyer's

9.00 ERA

Glausosarus

time

he likes to

feast on RHP

err more fail

LHP

Time for a patented Glausasaurus single.

strike single

insert HR

Glausy

He’s about to shine

did he hit it hard?

Yeah, it was ripped pretty good.

Uggla had to dive.

drilled it

spectacular defensive play by Ugly

Damn that fugly uggla

Ouch

0-5 2K’s 1DP

Who else would have laughed...

if they didn’t turn the Vidro because Hanley was too lackadaisical.

Someone clall the police cause Hinske just got robbed

Hinske hustles down the line all the time

I like that.

He and Melky are about the only two guys on the team who consistently hustle to first base.

I think they brought that mindset with them here;)
2 words.

Hey. Ward.

Eh....possibly

I don’t really consider Heyward running to first as “hustling”, though. He just has a very natural, long stride.

Haha, so what you’re saying is, even when he hustles he makes it look good.

No, I'm saying Heyward doesn't have to hustle....

His natural stride carries him to first base in 4 steps.

We need this guy next year too.
 
Hinske’s been awesome this year, even if he doesn’t hit lefties.

meyer apparently can only throw strikes to lefties

Hinske has got to be pissed Moyer cant pitch for shit to anyone else and he got his best stuff

I don't know. It took a great play to get hinske out, so it's not like Meyer just blew hinske away

Saito gonna pitch bottom of 8th

Ehh…I’ll allow it.

Glaus walks

trying to force our hand with Saito

if it gets that far, we won't need him
bring em home melk man

Walkasaurus

WTF

was melky doing

Hahahhaaha @ Melky running back to 1B.

he potentially could be called out if tagged, if “perceived” to be rounding towards second

haha

melk man almost fucked that up!!!

but…nicely done

No longer save situation for Wags right?

you are correct

Hopefully we dont see him then.

i like no save situations


Waiting on score

Someone tell Glaus that walks don’t score runs, dammit!
 
I"m off. Enjoy the rest of this dubya. I’ll check in with Hazel Mae in the morning for the grisly details.

MELKMAN

I love you in a non-gay way for this.

I love

the sheer determination in his face

Its like he is taking a dump or something

6/57

beaat the streak!!

6 game hit streak for melky
FYI

Chipper has 23.5 miles worth of BB in his career.

That’s pretty awesome.

gimme a prediction here

another 2B for esco?

LOL @ Wagner’s face

BIZARRO RACE TO THE BAG

Only Glaus and McCann don’t score from 1st on that. Well, Chipper might not have either, depends on if he’s using the walker or the cane that night

He scores with the segway. Or the power wheelchair.

Hov-a-round!

Martinez

for the 8th?

him or “looking alot better lately” Chavez

did he shower?

haha

horrible pitching

Esco

having a good day

2 walks

David Ross slam here would be nice
4 BB's from Meyer in 0.2 IP
He's dialed in.
But to the wrong area code
Chris Reitsma

like

Another walk

we’ll take em.

Ross

should be 2 for 3

and the one out was stroked

meyers not close
DRoss needs to blow this one open

like a Boss

i'm feeling good
Meyer hates throwing strikes eh?

Well, if you don’t throw near the zone, you don’t have to worry about giving up hits. It’s LOJIKAL

Possible Greg White sighting if Ross =/= out?
I'm loving this....

Meyer is falling apart and the Marlins JUST NOW started warming someone else up.

Ok… at moments like this does anyone else feel bad for the pitcher?

...nope

Huddy had to deal with that 4th inning monsoon

this

that shit was down right crazy.

only when its a Braves pitcher. Or somebody that used to be on the Braves, or in their system

ross swinging for the fences

End 7th.

Mets 3, Phillies 0

Whoa game is still on just got home from work what happened

rain delay for an hour
long rain delay
rain delay 1 hr 17 min

meteor shower

they knew you were going to work

so they stopped it for an hour

Dogs. Everywhere.

locust

Dogs and cats!!!!!! Living together!!!!!!!!!

Esco got a hit..

so they paused to celebrate..

he's doing better, but I admit that made me laugh.

yea it was just for fun.. glad he’s doing well tonight

There’s a game tonight?

Fisting marathon.

I’ll fist you!

Obligatory TWSS

You couldn’t fist me if it was the fistingist day of your life and you had an electrified fisting machine!

Awwww…..so I should return the electrified fisting machine that I borrowed from Chip Caray?

Escobar is really starting to break out of his slump. He has been walking alot this year but now he his hitting the ball hard everywhere. Hopefully, Chipper is waking up too and back to his old self

chavez for the 8th?
please no

maybe the only person who could lose this lead now…aside from Jo Jo who doesnt count cause he isn;t healthy

Manny I-cost-you?
You are a sick individual.
So

We going to see Christhian Martinez in this one?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

ANOTHER WALK

He's got to take him out now right?
Rough

day mister Meyer

The last 8 fans are booing their pitcher - as Ross walks.

BB #5 = more runs
who PHs? clevlen?

Clevlen on the DL, Blanco is up though

Florida has completely given up on this game

the whole state

well, 80% of the state ate supper at 4:00 and went to bed long before this game even began

Saito

still in…

Fredi doesn’t look to happy

haha

Saito is out of the box and he hasn’t even swung

saito looks like ichiro a little…probably not the same result though

What if.......

Braves would have gone 500 during that 9 game losing streak, where would we be now?

4-5 games better than where we are now

hahaha

I call math fail on you :-p

I was just trying to start up a convo about how we would be in first now and probably be on a tear but I failed.

Peeps worrying about Heap missing a few games

made me laugh. You would have thought Corky was still our back up. :)

oh man

Corky was sooo bad

seriously :(

Corky needs to be added to the list of names that will get you banned if you mention them.

I second this emotion

Is Dave Berg on that list?

No, but sure why the hell not

supposed to have replied here

whats wrong with Dave Berg? He’s great

I tried to pull out the most random reference I could. He’s what came to mind.

??!?!

a childhood hero? Wtf?

if they walk saito!

saitos doing that slap hitting that all japanese do

Saito

please dont swing

might get hurt

Saito lookin like Ichiro trying to run out of the box while swinging

comical

Saito

Bunt lol

wtf is Bobby thinking
I wonder if he would walk Saito too...

but I guess not.

10-4 made a flow chart about that once

Saito throws right, bats left.
Thanks, Chip.
Swing it like a Hattori Hanzo sword
Kill Bill-y the Malin
add +1 to this guy
haha

meyer 43 pitches

blah

Saito dont swing!!

seriously...

lets see him throw a strike

Swing hard in case you hit it!
meyer's era

now 11.25

WHOA

we have 4 errors how did that happen

failure on defense...

one error was stupid though…melky’s wasn’t bad at all

Moylan, Melky, Heyward, and a player to be named later.

man wish we would got some more….still only up 5

What a swing
I will pay someone $10

to make a .gif of that Saito swing.

im with you.
Maybe even throw in that clip of Chipper Jones laughing at the end.

Instant classic.

 I think I made one of those.

This one?

Yeah, that Chipper laughing

What I’d love to have is that Saito swing, followed by about 3 seconds of Chipper laughing.

Hahaha... that's great.

Sorry 10-4 for the animated gif.

or the “chipper is disappointed” .gif.

Find me a video of it and it’s done.

Should have pinch hit

If you cant trust the other two guys in the bullpen with a 5 run lead then when can you trust them

Maybe Bobby wanted to see if he could hit in case we needed him to come on the bench in an extra inning affair.

and someone wants to blow saitos arm off
with a win tonight

dont look now,… 1.5 gAMES BACK!!

go knock on wood now please
Unfortunately...

They face the Marlins after we battered the shit out of their bullpen.

-C

Ugh…why couldn’t the Marlins be playing someone not in the NL East next?

On the bright side of things, we should be coming off a winning series against the Pirates when the Phillies come to town. If this comes to pass, we’ll have won four series in a row…

-C

man! wtf am i doing on an elliptical at 11:30….i’m sweating buckets! go braves! Saito just made my night!haha

more saito, bobby?
1-2-3 inning PLEASE
Please.
fail

Not fail, I was just +1’ing, without typing a +1.

Mclouth

in at center

Okay, Vanderbiltian threat has been dealt with. What do I need to know that happened?
final score?
LSU 7 - Vandy 5
Dude...

101-98 Lakers with 58 seconds left

thanks

I forgot all about the game

Suns Tied it
lakers forgot about that rebounding concept
GAME TIED

101-101

Jason Richardson

The bank is still open
Fuck... gotta run downstairs.

Now it’s tied.

Did not realize the bank was opened after hours. J-Rich with the bank shot 3 for the tie.

Artest

what a lucky shot

you suck artest

DO not like that

Not a good start to the bottom of the 8th....
Paulino

single back up the middle

its like a broken record

I HATE MIDDLE OF THE INFIELD SINGLES NOW

goddamnit every single one

101 101

3 seconds left

Wow

was anyone watching the basketball game? amazing

i fail at seeing threads

nobody on the lakers wanted a rebound i guess

take saito out plz
wish the bobcats still had Richardson

so good

you still have Nazr Mohammed

Saito should’ve been pulled.

Ross

going to have a few bruises tonight

DRoss must have some sort of baseball magnet in his mask/face area
SAITO'S LOSING IT. TAKE HIM OUT.
HOLY SHIT

what an end to the game

Holy rebound Batman!

man, i can’t wait til we win so i can bust out my new artwork

wow

Lakers Win

Anyone know what time Pete will be at the game on Saturday for his book signing?

Suns fail.
K

GET SAITO OUT OF THE FUCKING GAME…GODDAMNIT!!!

/SARCASM

not the point. we’re up by 5 and saito’s been overworked of late. give him some rest.

he hasn't pitched in 4 days
Lamb to the slaughter.
That looked like the end of the Thunder game

when Gasol got the rebound at the end of the game

BACK TO BASEBALL NOW

Nice play Hinske!

OMG

webgem right there

attaboy Hinske

wow, thought Artest and Kobe were going to need to get a room for a minute there

fans must be glad

If artest would have missed it, he would have probably beat him two children after the game was over

Hinske

Better defensive 1B than Glaus

I dont think Glaus is that bad

Great play by Hinske
Why didn't someone stop me from leaving...

went downstairs just to see goddamn Artest.

way to go hinske

how very un-Dorn of you

that was worth pulling a tube for Eric

Hinske: "I can go 0-5 whenever I want fuckers!!!!"
How can you

answer Craig Sager’s questions when you’re blinded by his suit?

sbnation's craig sager suitwatch- comedy

his hair “situation” is pretty damn bad too

makin up for not hitting well tonight!
Love Coghlan's walkup music

And Hinske has been worth every penny.

People who still complain about the Vazquez trade need to be put down.

bring back Vazquez

RABBLE RABBBLE RABBLE asdkflasjfkldas RABBLE

Like the animals they are.
ROAR MOO rIbbIT
Saito

inning over

Just as good as a 1-2-3 inning.....
prediction

heyward XBH

HR to alloborate
elaborate?
i was never one for spelling

i always lost the spelling bee on purpose so i could sit down

Holy crap. Saito survives.

Hinske and Glaus sacrifice their bodies to make a play.

I like that also.

It’s late, their tired and wet.
I admire them being gamers.

I read that as “Its late, I’m tired and wet”

My mind is right in the gutter tonight for some reason

Plus, It’s late, I’m tired and I misspelled their they’re

Phillies

on the way to a Phive game losing streak.

Have they scored yet?
nahh gonna be shutout 3 straight games and 4 out of last 5.. ridiculous
That's crazy. Facing 2 knuckleballers really seems to have screwed them up.
NOW TAKE SAITO OUT

-C

i'd like to see MArteeeeen

go 4-6 today

alas

i can’t have everything

wow, anybody watching the lakers game also? artest just made a buzzer beater putback after Kobe missed for 3!
that was dumb, how can you not rebound the ball

stupid internet…..how bout that eric hinske fella

impressive
For very little $.

I like that also. I’m in a complimentary mood tonight.

Bobby, who are you going to bring out for the 9th?

Wags of course.

So close Jaywon…

Domo Arigato Mr Beardito

If you think I’m not bringing that back from now on you’re crazy

Chip with the HR call yet again.

That douche-nozzle.

holy shit

fuck this ballpark

fucking chip
Hey, don't know if anyone's mentioned this yet

Joe West set to be disciplined for his antics in the White Sox game.

How often do we actually see umpires disciplined?

what did he do?

He acted like he was the best thing that ever walked on a baseball feild.

he acted like jason heyward?

I mean Jaywon Howard

There we go. That makes more sense.

He tossed Mark Buehrle and Ozzie Guillen after two balk calls. I did a fanshot of it.

Is there a video of it in the fanshot? I still haven’t seen it.

The title links to the article and it has a video.

Called 2 balks on Buerhle, ejected Ozzie Guillen and Buerhle for virtually nothing.

In the interview with Ozzie after the game he said West told him to get the fuck off the field

LOL... that makes me chuckle.
Called a borderline balk

Very quickly ejected Ozzie Guillen. Called another balk just moments later, and when Buerhle threw down his glove in disgust, he was tossed too. Then he had his personal PR man talk about it.

damn........ just missed

end of the bat bullshit

Chip knows what a jackass he is...

he tries to play it off like he wasn’t doing the HR call, he tries to make a smooth transition and ease us back into the out call but it’s always too late.

He has the worse case of premature ejockularity I’ve ever seen

Is that

Wagner up… you got to be kididng me

wtf.... why?

Dammit Bobby

guys...

bobby is allowed to use his closer in not-that-close situations sometimes, everybody calm down

pitched once in the last 4 days? i dunno…

did he not pitch yesterday?

Yes, the first time in 4 days I believe. Could be wrong.

yep, he pitched yesterday... also in a non-save situation
so help me if we have 3-4 close games in a row

anger!!!!

Pirates are up next…if we have 3-4 close games in a row, I’d be pretty effin’ surprised.

Hell, I’d be surprised if he throws more than once against the Bucs.

-C

just played 2 close games w them a few games back
Let's hope we don't use the JV line-up again.

One was against our backups, by and large.

-C

we're playing 20 games in a row, so it wouldn't surprise me

if the JV team is back out there Sunday

That’s true. Last time the JV squad was in there, it was 10 straight.

-C

Called it. I don’t think Bobby understand the concept of no save situation or other guys in the pen not name Moylan or Saito.

Chavez and Martinez are still available. Why not them?

the game is not close enough?

Good one :)
We dont wanna lose this game
Apparently

Martinez is just a space eater in the bullpen we could be up 25 and he still wont come in

I wish we did that when jo jo was here

He used him on Wednesday after Chavez got rocked in the 8th.

I have no fucking clue why he was called up. There have been several situations where Kimbrel could have had opportunities for work.

maybe bobby knew he wasnt going to use him and that he’s better off working every other day down there

but there were moments where he could have been used. we were up by seven one game…that would have been a perfect opportunity. instead I’m pretty sure Saito came in

I’m not defending him just trying to get in the head of Bobby

I know…frustrating is what it is.

He’s doing his job of keeping Resop’s space on the bench warm.

we have to save wags for our series at home

so he can get the W when we walkoff

wags needs work

u dont know how the games will be…wags needs work…he has been sitting for too long

Never respect a guy who calls himself Gaby
When is Jo Jo comming back?

i kinda hope never

JoJo never goes away

he is like that rash… oh wait

He isnt on the DL anymore so must be staying in Gwinnett

phils lose 3-0
HAHA nice!!!

Hope they don’t come to the Ted pissed and take it out on us.

yea

hope they take it out on the marlins and exhaust themselves against the fish

Mets win.

We’re two outs from 1.5 back, guys.

I approve of this. Not to get ahead of ourselves, but when was the last time we had sole possession of first place?

right before our 9 game slide
Very early last year

I’ll pull it up in a second.

Nope, nevermind

I’d forgotten that the Marlins got out to that sick start last season.

I have no idea, I’ll try to figure it out.

Official bullpen strategy guide

Winning? ~Moylan,Saito,Wags
Losing? ~Chavez, Venters, Martinez
Tough Lefty? ~EOF

Yes you forgot one

Blowout? ~Jo Jo

the only blowout I want with Jo Jo is his pitching arm

time to move venters to winning

Winning rain delay games

not a strike????
Hanley...

why ya gotta break balls.

Fucking Hanley...

framing hanley is pretty good

Hanley is good

triple

Looked like it stayed forever in the corner.

rain soaked grass

slows that ball down and it sticks in the corner

I really don't like Hanley
something some of our guys can learn from hanley

going the other way

Hanley goes both ways.
doh

this game has been on too long

FU Hanley

get that ugly grin off your face.

the only thing better than owning the fish

is owning the phils. love this shit

K for Wags

he seems to be good at that

Cantu

was sodomized by that pitch

lol, where is the photoshop of that one?

I hope Smoltz’s Beard doesn’t make one

not sure why

but I just bust out laughing

Lowe vs Duke tomorrow should be interesting
Uggla just tried to hit a 5 run homer there
Hell yeah!

ok

that is awesome

is that Glaus

he is riding?

Glaussosaurus

There’s a lot just wrong about this.

lol

sorry, a double jesus/dinosaur reference was too much too pass up

I’m Rhyno18, and I approved this message

+ infinity

You put me to shame. I feel like I should retire my photoshopping skills.

nah, man, your shit is hilarious

Keep them coming then!

Ok chipper

does that mean you’ll come out with two masterpieces tomorrow?

I’m cooking up something big

I’m getting a little excited.

Wagner ends it with 2Ks

Good work Wags

no run for you Hanley

marlins fans suck

they were cheering for the loss there

still confused as to how this baseball game works
WHAT COMES AFTER RAIN? RAINBOW LLAMASAURUS. SUCK IT SPEARFISH

love me some llamasaurus

You my boy, Llamasaurus!

I love Rainbow Llamasaurus.

Can we name him Chief Homersaurus?

No.

Its name is Rainbow Llamasaurus.

Please forgive me. I don’t hang around as much as last year. I’m new to the Church of Rainbow Llamasaurus.

All are welcome in the Church of Rainbow Llamasaurus. Please leave all your money in the collection plate.

when do we serve the punch?

jonestown ftw!

All hail Rainbow Llamasaurus and Jim Jones.

+ a bajillion

Good to see you again!

Imma let you finish

But Rainbow llamasaurus is the greatest post-game victory celebratory animated gif of ALL TIME.

Ballgame 8-3
goddamn that game was long

BRAVOS WIN

Alright

sweet half day of work tomorrow, so luckily I only needed a half night of sleep

See you tomorrow

If the Braves were a Mortal Kombat character

Wagner would be their finishing move.

If only he pulled the spine out of a batter to end the game…sigh…

I know, right? But still, every time he gets 2 strikes I hear “Finish Him” in my head.

What happened to Riley?

I miss him :(

I think the 9 game losing streak.
Let's hope

Duke pitches like dookie tomorrow

I see what you did there.

Him again? Ugh…

Drive by

there’s got to be more classic simpsons moments i can make into victory gifs…but i can’t think of any

I was looking for a gif from the dancin’ homer episode.

good call…lemme see if i can find a video of that

can’t find a video on youtube

Early appt.

Nite all.

I don't get to see tomorrow night's game.... :(

Everyone make sure the Bravos bludgeon the Bucs something fierce for me?

Long game, we (TCers) outlasted the rain and the Braves Won!

Now to get another WIN tomorrow night.

I’ll miss all of you while I’m at a wedding…see you all Saturday.

GO BRAVES!!!
.

thats what i was waiting for! haha! I’m soaked, no more exercise for like, atleast a month! braves win! goodnight all!
