5+ ERA

is enough reason for me

I don't hate the guy

But you know the deal, a lot of people can’t look beyond poor statistical contributions and assume that he eats babies and murders single mothers.

He tortures puppies too

MBL1 - June 20, 2010 via mobile reply

Personally, I looked at the eaten babies and dead single mothers and assumed the poor statistics. And damn, if I wasn’t right

I liked his first start...

that’s about it…after that, he inspired Jojo’s performance…

Did ya’ll see the guy in the Glausosaur costume during Braves Live?

Gotta be someone from TC!!

We may have lost a member then.

He’s surely dead from a heat stroke at this point.

My only experience with them was during the Giants/Marlins series, and I was not impressed.

Shit. Reply fail. Apologies.

And yes, heat stroke. Heh.

lol

I remember Tom Glavine once pitched 4.2IP but struggled to get out, so Bobby brought in Will Ohman who got the third out on one pitch, and got the win for it

i miss

will ohman. where’s he at now?

Part of Baltimore's horrendous BP

that's a shame

we should bring him back

to do the lineups

i’m beginning to think that how KK gets his first win, either from someone else’s bad start or a rain delay that knocks out the starter.

It's possible

that he never gets one. I could see it.

I'm thinking

That the day he gets his 1st win, the crowd needs to act like when Tom Glavine got his 300th win

like Cubs fans? Shoot me.

Hey now

Even the Cubs fans were classy about it, and gave him a nice big warm reception. They know history when they see it

I remember that game. Wasn’t it in 08?

Saito pitched one scoreless IP for Gwinnett. one hit, no runs, no BB, one strikeout. 13 pitches, 8 for strikes. He should join team Tues.

I personally liked the LOB posts

maybe not after every batter, but I thought they were useful.

Okay then….

It was the “no-hitter” posts every time our pitcher was doing good early in the games that were not cool.

I love that Arby’s commercial about the Steakhouse sandwich. When the guy leaves his car in front of the steak house to go to Arby’s, I like to imagine him coming back out with a boot on his car for parking on one property to go to another.

MBL1 - June 20, 2010 via mobile reply

K for EOF

so far so good

Wilson Betemit

I love playing the Royals, we get to see guys that were fringe players for the Braves

he owns us

in 10 abs

Escobar?

I tuned in during the second inning. Is Escobar just getting a day of rest? Or is he out due to that weird leg problem he had the other night?

just resting

said just rest on the broadcast, but I am sure it was a contributing factor for getting the day off

hes probably a lil sore

nothing serious..

Bobby reads TC and saw that I thought Esco would get the day off on Sunday

I really did love Betemit

When he was with us. Talk about a fleece – Betemit for Willy Aybar (drugs, DUIs, injury) and Danys Baez (appendectomy, free agency)

i always thought he had a ton of potential

never did get it figured out though

Not after leaving Atlanta

No other team really gave him a chance to be the left infielder he was supposed to be, but the Braves of 06 needed middle relief very badly, and Aybar was a younger, cheaper version of Betemit, but nobody could predict that ht would lose his head in Atlanta.

what happened to aybar

i don’t even remember

Chipper forgot he was on the team

Toiled in Richmond, traded to Tampa Bay for Jeff Ridgway who stunk too, but Aybar has been doing okay as a utility guy for the Rays

He’s been with Tampa the last several years,, including a nice role on their 08 World Series team.

yea, i mean i know what hes doing now...

royhobbs said “but nobody could predict that ht would lose his head in Atlanta.”

didn’t know what that meant.

drugs, alcohol, DUIs, not reporting to camp, visa troubles

oh wow thx

Bate-ah-meee

Poor David. He must be absolutely roasting in there.

Rain.

rain from the sky? rain from unruly fans? rain from leaky stadium?

all of the above!?

WOOOOO!

Remember the uncontrollable outrage in 2006 when Wilson Betemit was traded to the Dodgers for Willy Aybar and Danys Baez?

Betemit was hitting like Prado that season.

Oh yeah

I remember checking the AJC blogs after that trade happened and it was fifty times worse than the worst arguments here ever have been. He won a game like two days before the trade too, so his value was never higher, which is probably why the Braves were able to warrant two playesr from the Dodgers for him.

sadly

that trade did not end well for us

Farnsworth time. RUNZ RUNZ RUNZ

Tiny strike zone

Carl Pavano

Carl Pavano is throwing a three-hitter against the Phillies in Philly. He’s thrown only 89 pitches over 8 innings. The only run came from a Wilson Valdez home run.

how the hell does he have more HRs than Esco?

esco would have like 10 HRs

if he played at CBP

You think Heyward would have 50 so far if he played in that sandbox?

nah

maybe 45 but not 50

If Howard played at a neutral park like Turner Field, he’d only be a 25-30 homer guy.

i always overreact :)

F HIM AND HIS FAMILY

I’ve defended KK and still think he is alright for a 5th starter, but when JJ comes back, Bobby has to leave Meds in the rotation.

I’ve been a KK supporter all year, but two back to back poor starts have left me a bit sour.

I feel the same way at this point. I will support him but man you got to give me something to defend. I really wish D Lowe and KK could switch places. That would make the hate a lot easier to handle.

Can someone tell me our record

With and without Nate in the lineup?

with: 0-26
without: 59-0

we were playing pretty well even with him in there

It was just when Hinske did not play

WTF

I just realized Chipper has 4 SB

thats one less that J Hey

Chipper hasn't been caught

That’s kind of awesome.

Way ahead of you. I already knew that

w/o - good, with - bad

I like those pitching match ups.

what are they again?

Hanson vs. Danks
Hudson vs. Mark B
Lowe vs. Floyd

I will be at the 2nd one. Like that I’ll be seeing Huddy, but not so sure I like that we’ll be facing a lefty.

two lefties = uh oh

Infante/Ross/pitcher spot due up.

LOL at that sign

MBL1 - June 20, 2010 via mobile reply

pretty good sign there

I don't like it.

I can’t support anything that Favre does

That 's why I said score MORE runs :)

I would say they were waiting on you

But they did score in the first.

I'm guessing Kimbrel is filling Meds' spot in the bullpen..hence the lack of face time

oh dang

You are the best friend

that a best friend could beeeeeee…

Sneak preview from the new Author TC is introducing tomorrow:

KK SUCKS PERIOD
Finally people are starting to agree w/ me and a couple of others on here that KK is not a MLB pitcher and doesn’t have the skill set to even be a #5 starter. I pray when JJ comes back KK is traded or sent to the bullpen. Problem is with his record he is almost untradeable and is worth nothing as far as value on the trade market.

I mean come on 5 earned runs against the Royals, DAMN IT KK – trade this sorry POS to the Brewers for Beer and Cheese already.

Only saving grace is that the Royals are so crappy hopefully we can come back in this game.

by Holty_Panthers_Fan on Jun 20, 2010 11:42 AM MST

was that in the OT or somewhere else?

the VFYS post that gondeee just put up

lol

So he’s resorting to hiding his comments to avoid getting blasted

Well, he’s the same guy that said that Chipper didn’t enjoy baseball any more.

If HPF joined the GT, I’d probably lose it. I’d be like Chipper after BMac’s triple

HPF better hope JJ pitches better

than he did in his first rehab start on CSS. He only made it 2 innings giving up several runs.:(

hahahaha

Seriously the new author or are you joking

why would he make that up?

Mutts down to their last inning against the Spankees.

Done. Mutts shut out

LETS GO CRAIG

CRAIG KIMBREL WHO IS THAT

MBL1 - June 20, 2010 via mobile reply

fuck yea i called this

man that was a nasty first pitch slider

Opponents only hitting .147 against Kimbrel. Yikes.

kimbrel DOES exist!

Walk or Strikeout:

MAKE YOUR PICKS!

K

gorunder to second

pop out

O/U of 1.5 walks

I like the over on both

that is what i'm thinking as well

WALKS

his ass back to the dugout

2Ks and a fly out

well i was way off

Ball 3 was strike 3

No, Don, your reasoning as to the creation of interleague is not correct. Interleague started before the ASG determined home field for the WS.

Get Venters up

How do you completely miss in a full count

Jesus Christ. Don’t walk the leadoff guy in a tie fucking game.

WOW

FUCK LIFE

ruh roh

FUCKING SHIT KIMBREL

Bobby: Damn it, I’m too old for this.

as he throws in about a half-can worth of dip

WALK OR STRIKEOUT?

Mets lose 4-0.

If the Braves can win, they’ll send the Mets 2.5 back and the Phillies 5.5 back.

Man, I'll be glad to get Saito back next game

Erm what was that? Lol

CalBravesFan - June 20, 2010 reply

Well, seeing the ball thrown into right field would have been a nice change of pace.

Mutts lose, Phils lose, Expos lose, and Marlins won.

Let's hope Chris getz out.

Yeah, my timing was pretty bad on that one.

Yeap thats about right

Kimbrel on the wild side:(

I really wish

Roger would just pull Kimbrel off the mound. He’s thrown like 3 strikes in the inning.

please get this kid out of here NOW

Three strikeouts coming

I can feel it

Me want Venterz

MBL1 - June 20, 2010 via mobile reply

Mets and Phillies both lost

Lets take advantage of that and get out of this and win this damn game!!

This guy is supposed to be the right-handed Billy Wagner? Give me a break.

Great idea…load the bases for the guy who’s been hitting everything this series.

Too many Braves haters in here

dont forget… we know how to win games late

they have a great closer

Kimbrel

donig what he does

THAT WAS A STRIKE!

As wild as Kimbrel is, he’s not going to get anything close.

Load the bases, so we can get to their best hitters.
Get their best hitters out.
Score runs in the bottom of the 8th.
Make it easier on Wags in the 9th.

:)

genius!

they don’t call him Little Wags for nothing.

just go yard chipper to cap off your good series

why not bunt?

because that's idiotic

Idiotic enough to win us two games in the last week.

oh yeah, so that must mean bunting is the best solution

since it worked twice. sorry but with 0 out and your #2 hitter up you don’t bunt. period.

btw

suicide squeezes aren’t normal bunts

Why?

Heyward has been struggling recently. Might as well get the runner into scoring position with a legend and one of the hottest hitters in baseball coming to bat.

tough to bunt it out of the Ted.

Yeah, this isn’t Philly.

Wait, that doesn’t make sense.

im assuming wags will pitch the ninth?

we better win in regulation… because chavez will be the only reliever available in the tenth and on

reliable?

with all of the pure POWAH glausosaur consumes, his body fat ratio is a bit high. needs a breather.

FickleFan says:

Erihury - June 20, 2010 reply

Lovely! I like it when they score faster than I can post.

Even the albatross that is KK cannot stop the braves today...

The apocalypse must be near indeed.

letsgobravos - June 20, 2010 reply

THIS IS BRAVES COUNTRY

Auto-Win engaged

Glaus is terrible

0-1 today

i noitce the zagnuts comes out when we need clutch run late

where did it come from

Smoltzie said one night he ate a Zagnut while throwing a no-no. He gave up a run and spoiled it.
Thus, Zagnut = runs.

Wags gets on the PA system

STOP SCORING RUNS!!!

AND ALSO, THERE’S A GRAY ACCORD WITH ITS LIGHTS ON!!!

Oh…that’s just Heyward taking a piss out in the parking lot.

WAGS WAGS WAGS WAGS

NOW LETS END THIS GAME!!

omar goes

lets just get the game over

what does zagnuts mean???

SHAME ON YOU

Suggestions for the Hinske fan club

“Hinske’s Heroes”-Kind of a play of Hogan’s Heroes.

“Hinske’s ?’s”-Bunch of guys dressed up as question marks since there’s nothing about his name easily accessible.

The Big H's

haha...definitely the ?'s

HULK HINSKES

Have a bunch of guys in ripped up Braves shirts and bandannas with fake big yellow moustaches

I like this.

I should wear my Hulkamania shirt to the SBN meetup

Hinske's Skis

im in for dressing up for that.

h-inske we trust...

dressed up like quarters.

Hinske’s Hyenas?

Hinske’s Haberdashers?

wow

11 walks, 9 hits…we had 20 baserunners today

dun dun nah dun...dun dun nah duun

Hinske,Glaus and Melky know how to hustle!

Well this one is in the books.

Exit Royal Enter Wags.

Take my hand

We’re off to Braves Countryyyyyy

Before today's game...

Major League Walks

Atlanta 306
NYYanks 283
BOston 275
Twins 271
Rays 271

Make that 317 now.

tells you how important that stat can be

5 of the best records in baseball

Stupid, walks don’t help you score runs. If they did, they’d put ’em on the scoreboard ’n shit.

I disagree with that completely

It gives you more baserunners and working the count more can lead to more hittable pitchers and better counts for hitters

I hope/think he was kidding :D

rabble rabble rabble

/end sarcasm

I get it.

I like baserunners.

Lots of them becomes run scorers.

who plays LF

didnt Gregor ph last inning

Venters?

Infante

CUE

ENTER SANDMAN.

GET THE BROOMS READY

Oh Noes!!!!!

Glaus is limping

oh shit

Glaus hurt?

Glaus limping as he exits:(

Glausosaurus coming off

Esco… going to play first…? Prado… going to play first.

glaus was limping off the field?

or was it just me

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO GLAUSUVIUS

He's been playing with a bad foot fr days now.

Probably, just needed a break form it.

NONONONONONO!!!! NOT GLAUS

MBL1 - June 20, 2010 via mobile reply

I hope Glaus is ok :(

Was it that slide into home?

must have been

Glaus probably just needed oxygen

or a 6-hour nap.

Sounds like a typical weekday for me.

Could it be cramps? With all this heat and humidity.

I hope

Could really be anything...

Think about his day: stand around, stand around, stand around, run like mad and score from first base.

WAGS

fourth straight day of work

Third I thought

hmm

i got my info from DOB, he could be wrong

It is his fourth

I believe

He saved the game Thursday against the Rays

of soul reaping.*

Hopefully he just slid wrong and the day off cures all

Or we’ll build him a bionic leg.

WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY

Yes, but can we really make him faster than he was before?

At least shinier.

This is the Atlanta Braves.

They don’t have a lot of money.

BTW

I really hate the delayed strike calls.

wicked pitch !

wagner has no stuff today

only hitting 95

NOT GLAUS NOOO

MBL1 - June 20, 2010 via mobile reply

Ks him

K-2-3

2 more to go!!

Nicely caught, firstbaseman Prado.

I like secondbasemanPrado moar

MBL1 - June 20, 2010 via mobile reply

97...all is well

Wagner is 39 and throwing 97 MPH

MBL1 - June 20, 2010 via mobile reply

ROIDS ROIDS ROIDS ROIDS ROIDS

What's your point.

Most 39 year olds can throw 97. It’s like a national secret.

97mph on the inside corner

that’ll work.

1

98 mph on that last FB

could really go for an esco here

Not a smart pitch there

gotta waste one Wags

was that 98?

Mitch Sigh-er.

WOW

I leave for ten mins and we score 3 what happened

Hinske 2-RBI double to the gap. Melky RBI single to LF

Chipper Jones, Troy Glaus, Eric Hinske, and Melky Cabrera happened.

eric hinske happened

thanks guys

Time for the Vidro Monster

Oh, there he is.

lol

that is good

Wagster

GET OFF MY PLATE YOU HEATHEN

Might be interesting trying to turn a Vidro with the reshaped infield.

I like this Wagner guy

MBL1 - June 20, 2010 via mobile reply

yeah, he could actually be good one day.

Ah, a fellow Der Ring des Nibelungen fan.

....Parsifal ftw

I don’t know whether to applaud that comment or not.

/opera joke

Delayed strike calls are lame.

He isn’t delaying it. He calls the pitch then he stands and marks it. It is a technique that is taught.

I to go

U to go?

DONT RETIRE WAGS!!!!

+1000

Thanks for playing. SIDDOWN.

Hey you!

STFD!

K-tality!

2

1 more out to go!!

ITS BECAUSE HE DIDN'T SEE IT

funniest thing ive heard in a while

Yeah, that one had the plate.

billy waKKner

Ruins my plans for the Vidro, but I’ll take it.

Go get one more there Wags.

Oh god

get your ass to the dugout. Just because you can’t hit it doesn’t mean its a ball.

They call that “defensive indifference” where I’m from.

Yeah, go ahead and stick your knee out there. Good luck walking again.

Chipper

Chipper: "I'm tired, not re-tired".

Chipper now batting .250. I predict he will be hitting .290 by the All-Star break.

Okay everyone

Nice to have caught up with some of you guys. Enjoy the rest of your days, and you’ll likely hear from me again next weekend

Have a great evening to all.

Hay guise

Is it just me, of have we been running around and handing the AL’s asses to them?

7-2 interleague record is damn good for a team that usually struggles against the AL.

I wonder if Ned Yost is brining the Royals to Pizza Hut for 10 dollar pizzas………

*bringing

ahhh the sweet smell of defeat.

Defeat stink after de win.

MOST RUNS IN NL

BRING ’EM!

cox says KK didn’t have his stuff today for the FIRST time all season…
