I proclaim this the RUNZ THREAD!

WE’RE WINNING!!!!!

RUNZ THREAD!!!!

RUNZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Photobucket

Hey Baby!

f* Justin Bieber.. I can’t even look at those two words back to back

VICTORY THREAD

new thread was an excellent idea

that was quick!

Time for the Sandman to start warming up.

WOOOOWOOOOO!!!!!!!

Clutch hit Matty D....really needed that
Diaz RBI hit to get in Hicks who was PH running for Troy!

what

is wiggleman doing???

I’ll gladly take the loss in Fantasy… thank you Matt Capps!

Now Wagner can come out and get that stat!

Matt Diaz F*N rules. That is all

let’s hope this is the first step to get back on track for him

true, true. Let’s hope

In a completely unrelated topic.......

board game magnate Milton Bradley has decided to seek counseling for his various psychological issues.

wait are you serious?
if by counseling you mean asking the mariners front office for help

which in turn means counseling.

ok you

turns out he’s asking the front office to help him seek professional help, not asking waka and jacky Z to play armchair shrink

*you're right
lol

about 5 years too late…

I just realized....

We just gave Matt Capps his first blown save of the season.

Not a BS...just a Loss
Oh right....my bad

Not sure what I was thinking…

Nats fans are weeping

what fans?
haha

yeah all 19 of them are pissed right now.

so they’re going to be retroactively upset about tonight’s game?

The ones that are about to become fans once Strasburg comes up

all 11 of them?

His ERA raised to 1.10 from 1.09 or something. They’ll be fine

Alright Wags

I hope he still remembers how to pitch

See? If you had waited on this thread, we wouldn’t have Vidro’d.

Maybe the vidro happened because you refused to leave the old thread behind. Did you think of that?

It happened because I clicked to come over to this thread literally 10 seconds prior to…lol

try 5 minutes.

hahahahahaha. You need to either upgrade your computer or your ISP.

naw, it actually got over here in fairly respectable time.

define respectable.

I just opted to go with AT&Ts DSL – and it is FAST. Only $25/month too!

respectable (adj)-worthy of repect, a satisfactory amount

Ok, wise-ass. Quantify it.

lol

plus, i live out in the country, and verizon is the only service provider than caters to my little shack.

why the hell

does chip say things that people might be secretly thinking but in no way ready to say out loud yet? its awkward for everyone…

?

what did he say? i cant get past fisted

“Albert Pujols can win ballgames all by himself but he can’t do it all by himself.” -RicK Sutcliffe

Has he been hanging with Joe Morgan?

No, Sutcliffe is as dumb as they come all by himself.

Ha Ha. Does ESPN even bother to interview these guys?

Pretty sure they don’t bother. Morgan, Sutcliffe, Hershiser, Kruk, and Phillips.
 
That’s a world of stupidity right there.

? Hersh is pretty smart.

3 threads….impressive

i just hope this new one dont fuck us over. hicks clearly beat this thread to the plate

i like to think my late arrival brought about sympathy.

Oh for the love of Heyward, please go 1-2-3 Wags.

Kimbrel, start taking notes

wait

Kimbrel, close your eyes for a second

Here’s to TROY for getting it all started!

Now SLAM THE DOOR Wags

ack. bad start

Fuck...

Not a good start.

Not good Wags

Damnit…COME ON!!!

dammit
pet peeve sorry

Just setting up the Vidro

Teeing off on his first pitch – I’ve seen that a few times this year.

twss?

boooooooooo

Boo you and your late thread-making ass.

If you wanna fight I got Jack Johnson and Tom O’Leary right here waitin’ for ya…

So not to go all Laurel and Hardy here, but………
 
…….who’s on first?

Guzman

posted before I finished, Guzman running, Hinske playing 1B

Every dollar of it

Nevermind. I see Hinske replaced Glaus.

Please please please. Hold this lead Wags.

All of Braves Country is counting on you.

Just want to say good luck, we’re all counting on you.

Just want to say good luck, we’re all counting on you.

also

throwing the ball at guzman’s head is NOT a good way to throw to first

Probably reduces the chance of an SB, though.

especially if you bean him and knock him out

Hard as Wags throws, I have a feeling that’d be the end of 50 percent of Guzman’s grey matter if that happened.

sure it is just dont miss
1 out!

And vidro still possible.

Alright listen Chip… Using your 2nd string catcher isn’t that big of a deal. I wish Bobby would learn that

C’mon Wags you got this!

No runz no runz no runz!

Better start drawing some glyphs on the floor around you to ward off those runz….

Wil Nieves? Didn’t the Braves draft him, or am I thinking of someone else?

you may be thinking of jason heyward
i know i am...
there were two other nieves that played for the braves

roberto and melvin

Melvin. That’s who I was thinking of.

I don’t know, but wow. Ah crap, in the pic I brought up he has a wedding band on. No good to me.

BBTN said Heyward has been playing with shin splints all year. Have an of you heard this? Also can’t they get worse with him playing with it.

He's had them since spring training

I had them senior year of high schoolwhile running cross country.

What’s the cure, rest?

Pulling tampons out usually help…

:)

That was filthy.

Anyone else wish Wags was a career Bravo?

What would Smoltz have done for 3 years?

Except then we wouldn’t have seen Dank Lob and Reitsma attempt to be closers

STFD meat!

It’s that mean man again…

one more to go…

Ball Game!

hell yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank god...thought we blew this one
Oh my god that scared me

WOOOOOOOO!!!!

Wags got that stat...
thats what we pay him for

Bye bye 8 game road losing streak!

and also bye bye 11 game losing streak when Heyward doesn't play or has no hits in the game
and also bye bye 5 game losing streak to the Natinals
there goes our 8-game road losing streak!
LLAMASAURUS LOVES THE TASTE OF NATINAL DEFEAT


First road win since the Braves were in “A Whale’s Vagina”

WHOOOOOO!!!!!

I LOVE YOU LLAMASAURUS!!!!

I'll take it

But this win was uglier than Sam cassell

That’s just about Ark of the Covenant ugly.

No.

Nothing is uglier than Sam Cassell.

Tayshaun Prince maybe?

James Carville disagrees.

James Carville

is a professor at my school.
I see him running every other day.

i wish i could take his class

whatever he teaches…it doesnt matter

sam's long lost brother
Apparently

you guys have never heard to Tyrone Hill

uglier than Tayshaun Prince?

I don’t see Prince as ugly. Olden Polynice blows them all outta the water by a mile.

We win!!!

There it is.

I was about to ask for that!

Had to be done. i actually made it to the end!

WHEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome. I’ll do NAHWAL later, but if you care: P2Cs were Diaz, Infante, and anyone who pitched besides Saito.
Heyward saw 2 pitches and 0 for balls

later everyone

I am going to say that nobody gets the wild-card tonight.

wow! you must be psychic!
what am I thinking of right now?

and if you say tacos….

I was going to say tacos.

…or Heyward’s man-parts.

nah, I got that Vance to take care of that

Infante instead of Chipper?

and hicks on SS?

yeah, but its close. That 9th inning fail really did it. Had Chip seen 5 pitches and got out he would’ve been the P2C.. 1 pitch at bat isn’t accpetable in the 9th

Yeah, and I totally forgot about his Homer until I saw the post game. DUH on me.

So is Meds taking JJ's next start?

and if so, when is he coming out of the pen to rest? I really wish he could get a chance to start and have a strong game. I would love to see Lowe or KK go to the pen.

More TC violations!!!

So glad we got that WIN. Tomorrow, we take the SERIES!

.

This is what all OT’s should end with. Of course, this one won’t because I just monkeyed it up.

Indeed.

A win tomorrow looks very hopeful. Hudson against some scrub…

we always seem to do poorly against scrubs...
great diaz interview

Loved the shaving cream pie paranoia

Did you notice that Diaz credited his success tonight to TP?

espn2

when did attractive women start bowling???
