Open Thread 6/3: Braves at Dodgers #2

We need more runz! This is the runz and 9-game winning streak thread.

Troy Glaus is a man on a mission. Nate McLouth got his first extra base hit in 4 years. And Kris Medlen is dealing.

Braves lead 3-0 going into the 5th.

new thread = runs

Lets go Imhotep!

third…!!!

failure
Failure for comment

And failure for not being third.

you're talking about the marlins, right?
not around here please
RUNS RUNS RUNS

Love this team!! Glaus baby! Wicked pick off!

Come on in boys, the water is fine

Perhaps you are not as strong as the Emperor thought.

HeywardBombTime

Damn Pitcher refused to throw a strike, ruining my prediction.

Heyward time. Everybody sacrifice a live chicken.

Lakers up 84-66 in the 4th
damn... I hate the lakers

yeah really… go wizards

they’re going to roll the celtics

Thank God it’s only bouncyball.

HITS HITS HITS

RUNS RUNS RUNS

"Nate 's 1st hit in 4 years"

:)

Question..

sin Medlen is pitching so well… what´s gonna happen when JJ returns…???

my guess

Meds to the pen

Yeah

Peter’s arm will have fallen off by then!

Either Peter’s or Saito’s….

meds goes to the pen.

DFA Derek Lowe

OBP is overrated

If on base percentage were important, they’d display it up on the scoreboard…

+ Frenchy

so is that really a minus then

Heyward

too passive.. waaahh

Heyward's eye is almost TOO advanced
Heyward

walking machine

Heyward

Funny stuff

+11111

have you never seen that before?

So much for that rondo guy being the 2nd best player in the playoffs
Kuroda: 74 pitches
If they keep offering first base as a sacrifice to Heyward, he's going to get bored....

Soon, he will start demanding they offer second base as a sacrifice.

Lol demand a balk

I patiently await the next GLAUSing!

Steal 2nd! I want more runz!

NEED MOAR RUNZ!!!
let him loose... steal 2nd!
1-1

good count to go

Who else has to wake up early?

The game will still be going on when I’m waking up at this point

Is 6 AM early?

much earlier than I do… I get 7:30. I feel your pain

I will sleep when I’m dead

Me

but its worth it

it's only 8:23 here :)

amen. I love the west coast games.

5:30

Thanks quants!

Me

Of all times:(

mccann

hole in his swing up in the zone

and right when i said that........ fuck
hey mac....glad I picked you for p2c

looking good tonight…and this season

anyone know which radio stations arent behind?

Hard to listen and watch the site at the same time without having the outcome ruined lol

Man

Brian still hasn’t gotten it going like I thought he would. Back in the spring, I was sure he was set up for a career season.

honestly I’m surprised his average is as high as it is, I just dont remember him having a hot period all season

Ross has looked good.

Yes indeed he has. And great defense too.

He’s been hitting decently since switched to the glasses. He’s just not hitting for power yet.

Glaus him again!

does this team

have a multi-HR game from anybody? yet?

not that i recall

not yet…i don’t think so.

Try and pitch him inside please…

Well. I think JH running distracted him that time.

Heyward caught stealing :(

Not the best move right there.

heyward hosed @ 2nd
J-Hey Fail, happening more often than I'd like
Good throw

Bad slide.

Well shit

Why do they always make a perfect throw when Heyward is running?

heyward not having a great last couple of games…other than walks

that wasnt a k-throw vidro, was it?

there were already 2 outs

AH!!!!!!!!

Bob Saget!

Easy, tourrette's guy...

Heyward thrown out?!

he could have scored from 1st on another glaus bomb
nice throw... :(
Here's a little story about a pitcher called Meds

poor middle reliever couldn’t keep his family fed. Then one day JJ’s hammy got sore, Meds became a starter and proved he could slam the door…on batters that is…sit ’em down, strike ’em out…

Georgia Tea....
good middle reliever

few bad outings to start his career

this felt like a limerick gone bad...
Someone didn't watch Beverly Hillbillies.
nope :/

too young for that, i think

Beverly Hillbillies theme.
Super Meds! Super Meds!

couldn’t keep his family fed
becomes
from a park called the Ted

I don't like that call... not with glaus at bat. Let him swing heyward in
On the plus side

I hear CS are REALLY gritty.

Glaus's robbed HR

They just said that if it werent for Ibanez Glaus would have another HR. Don’t forget he was also robbed by Victorino in the 1st Philly series too. Should have 12 on the year!

apparently medlen is

“Twirling” a two hitter

Twirling a 2 hitter

Chip has a way with words

glad we both caught that

My ears are learning how to turn off when he speaks.

His way with words is to bludgeon you with them….

ugh cheap hits

make me angry

welll that was ridiculous

Gosh, that was just Loney!

Chipper on his Hoveround could have gotten to that

The Rascals have a tighter turning ratio. ;-)

and and and

they show wilford bremley commercials

*

on the built black and white tvs of course

built in*

/sepuku

got all of that one

Wonder what the statistical probability of victory is when ahead 3-0 after 4.5 innings

fangraphs

say 79%

does it change if key fans go to sleep? or stay the same?

now it says

83%

2 more runs and it apparently becomes 100% for the Braves

*99.9%

60% of the time, it works every time!

The Reds would like you to know 99.9% means absolutely nothing

I see what you did there. And I approve. +100
Shouldn't that be +99.9?
*sigh*

This is why I love coming here. It makes my existence as a smartass seem less lonely. ;)

Also, something about the Braves, right?
I know nothing is ever absolutely certain.

But the Braves, all alone among mlb teams, is 23-0 when scoring 5+ runs. That just blows my mind.

Awww.....no vidro :(

What’s “Farmer John?”

nice no throw fucknuts…showed some maturity there

uhhhh

not sure you can blame esco there…

no that was actually a compliment that time

see comment below, apply to above
oh haha

nice clarification, totally got the wrong idea

That sounded like credit where credit due

haha, it's hard to not read a comment as facetious

when you call Escobar “fucknuts” lol.

Celtics within 13... making a comeback!
the fighting irsh
"it's as if medlen has 0-1 painted on the scoreboard"

haha scully’s pretty awesome

you gotta hear some of his stories man, he’s the best

Hey fuck you guys.

We got Chip Caray, the man with a thousand verbs.

But he only uses 2

Fisted!

DeWitt

tried to lean into that one

Sniff - Sniff ... I do believe my hubby gave me his cold.
How dare he?

:(

nice throw fucknuts
VIDRO!!

“Medlen is just toying with the Dodgers tonight.”

i hate you chip

don’t we all

why?

that ball was nowhere near the warning track

(i get the LA feed)

I like Vidros sometime.

I like this Meds guy
65 pitches through 5.

Meds rocking it tonight.

7 innings easy tonight.

His kung-fu is very strong.

Don't get ahead of yourself just yet.

If memory serves me right…Meds has had a little trouble getting through the order a 3rd time.

VIIIIDROOOO!
Vidro's

The med that Meds prescribe

Inning Ending

I think one day of the year u should make graphics for mudane events.

such as.. strike 2!!! or Ball 3!! almost a walk!

or at least a bomb ass triple play one (should that ever occur for us)

A triple play one – just in case I may do.

I’ve had a Grand Slam one since last year, couldn’t use it – but used it TWICE so far this year!

I try and not use ‘em unless it’s more of the “events”.
Trying to give those with less than stellar connections a break.

Medlen is my favorite pitcher.
Yessir....

He’s alright.

“we hope you are enjoying our broadcast”….well chip…it could be better

if he wasnt in it

They should bring Boog back.

This!

pay him whatever he wants

ESPN has deeper pockets

Was that it?

too bad.

I’m assuming going from calling MLB games to small D1 basketball games has something to do with money

i was hoping Don was coming over.

Boog's with the 4 letter empire...

…think i saw him call all of one game of any sort since he left FSS

I've seen him calling college hoops

He did several of those. It’s a waste of talent.

da mn

that strike was def hammerable

Glausosaur just missed another one....
damn

almost Glaus

Real men

wait until there are people on before they mash.

Real men

don’t walk ~ Francoeur

Real Men

aren’t mets.

Okay, now I'm confused

If that wasn’t “fisted” then nothing ever was.

damn

thought he had another one

I'll be home in an hour...

I need this game to get drawn out a little more

Troy with another awesome swing.
NEW JUSTIN BIEBER SONG

Hell yeah!

good god
no

justin bieber’s existence proves there is indeed a malevolent god

what's the name of her new song?

Ouch. Love it.

noooooooooooooooo!

LA LA LALALALA LA LA [Squeak]

When did she leave the iCarly Show?
I did not realize

how much Hinske crowds the plate

Hinske takes a walk

I got the trivia question, in case any one cares.

So yoou know who Justin Bieber is?

Escobar going to 2B

to right center

if he knew how to run hard…

only a single

but close!

Well, pretty nice call

But didn’t hit it hard enough.

why Yunel

almost..

I like Manny, but ...

… he really needs to do something about his hair.

Esco need his 1st homer
Way to go Esco!
Yunel with a HIT

in play (no out)

!

Esco getting that opp field stroke goin again....

….good ish right there

ESCO!!! double
double or single?
looooooooooooooong single

not really
little liner over the second basemans head

“Hit the ball with Authority” That was a nubber

Nice esco!!!

Meds has 50 strikes out of 65 pitches.
awesome.

fucknuts

starting to look really good

kuroda up to 94 pitches

and due up 2nd. probably his last inning

Nate McLouth....

your love, your love, your love is my druggggggg!

nevermind

fuck you.

that was stupid

he doesnt get doubled up

No kissing and huggin, girl you got a husband, who loves you

Now if Korupt gave a fuck about a bitch he’d always be broke, never have any fuckin endo to smoke

BIG at bat

Sac Fly time. He can do it.

Rick Honeycutt was my next door neighbor when my family lived in La Habra Heights...

We used to jump on his trampoline with Ricky, his son…

WOW FUCK YOU NATE
FUCKING FAIL... GAH
really nate?
wow

that was terrible

Damnit Nater....ugh

What the fuck was that?

McSigh......
NATE WHAT THE FUCK YOU CAN'T EVEN BUNT
woah

damn good play by J. martinA

Why is this guy playing again?

What an idiot

AND ALSO WHY ARE WE BUNTING

I think that one’s on Nate.

coach doesn’t trust him to drive it. He trusts meds more than nate.

Because Nate had already gotten his hit for the month

Good question. I guess Meds had to do it himself.

Great play by Longest name in the league Martin
atleast not a vidro
nate

uppercut bunt!

Pitcher next - STUPID BUNT

your pics are the best!

UltraMegaNateFail
bwaaaahahahaha
at least no vidro

But with meds might as well

Thank you manny
HAHAHAHA KRIS MEDLEN IS A BETTER HITTER THAN YOU NATE SUCK IT
Manny sucks

end of story

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

MANNY BEING MANNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Manny is an idiot lol

KRIS MEDLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, Manny-wood.
Don't worry guys

One of OUR pitchers is batting!

MEDS MEDS MEDS!~!!

HAHAHAHA MANNY
Nate may have just made sure...

That Melky starts in center tomorrow.

We can only hope
Woohoo Manny being Manny!

That’s MEDS-TASTIC

nate mcclouth actually has pretty even karma

it just happens that “even” is veeeeeeery far below average

Bat Mclouth 9th damnit

la russa approves

i approve as well.

manny what the hell lol

"Manny just picked up Nate McLouth."

Manny sucks at fielding.

I love the Hair…

Manny Ramirez has the mind and coordination of a child.

except with a baseball bat in his hands

can I get a description of what just happened?

Manny was flashing the Gold Glove

Manny charging in hard to try to catch a sinking line drive. Should have had it, didn’t, it went under his glove, he fell down, it rolled into foul territory.

i don't think he could've gotten it

maybe he if dove, or wasn’t manny, yea, but manny should’ve just played it cleanly on a bounce

Manny B Manny has holes in his glove.

mannywood do something like that

what did manny just do?

failed massively in the field. he sort of ?? attempted a running grab but ended up falling down like a retard. he did a nice tumble. 10/10

I really, really

want to see him land on the ball

he did in boston once

I know

Wanted to see it again, live.

Went tumbling down trying to make a catch on the grass, lol
Tell me those aren't dredlock pigtails coming out of Manny's head....please?

The announcers in MLB 2010 The Show would be bitching out my RTTS pitcher for taking a swing there.

That was hilarious:)
HaHa, they gave Meds a HIT (laughing at Manny)

Yunel really should have scored on that

I don’t know why he didn’t

yea....

oh well

Because he was on 1B and had to hold up to see if it was caught?

2 outs

didn’t have to hold up.

Had to hold up at 2B then.

this proves

even pitchers need hit jerseys
time for you to go to work!

that was a ball

OG Rickie Weeks right there

Dodgers should totally bench Manny for FUGA.

sinking liner to left,

drops under manny’s glove, scoots away = double

Meds is the shit.

Photobucket

Don’t you motherfuckers dare.

I won’t talk about PeMo. You don’t gotta worry man.

Meds and PeMo

getting it in that night

Starring Manny Ramirez as Velma....

Ah!!

Double Bob Saget!

Dodgers’ pitching coach Rick Honeycutt led Lakeview HS to back to back AA GA State championships in 1970 and ’71.

Mighty Healthy

you in here still?

yeah man.. what's up?

You like Kanye? Me and my rooomate are having a debate. I say Jesus Walks is the best song he’s ever made and he’s saying it’s Can’t Tell Me Nothing.

Si

“Jesus Walks” by far……….. although my favorites from him is “Good, Bad, Ugly” f/ Consequence and “Last Call”

is first call the one where he tells the story of how he got signed?

i mean last call
yeah...

it’s like 15 minutes long lol…

As the lone member of the Black Delegation on TC..

I approve this message. lol

rickie weeks?

aren’t we all lol sigh

I hear Rickie Weeks likes doing barrel rolls?

haha

wrong race, dude

Is Manny a fake black guy? It’s tough to keep up with all these silly racial denominations…

for some reason hearing barrel i immediately thought of Donkey Kong

Except it was 'barrel roll'....

You should be thinking Starfox!

Try a barrel roll!
(tap Z twice)

sure is 4chan in here

Manny; poster child for what happens to you when you can't use roids anymore

he could never field

David Ortiz too. Or maybe he was just fat and it caught up to him.

david ortiz is OPS’ing .930ish right now. That’s above his career average.

Is it really? Shows how much i pay attention to northeast baseball

yea, if you can imagine troy glaus’s may - ortiz’s was more impressive by a decent margin

Big Papi; the post child for when you start them again

travis hafner, richie sexson, mo vaughn disagree

Didn’t you hear?
 
Steroids don’t help you as a hitter at all.

Brady Anderson as well
Marcus Giles

Poster-child of roid rage

I feel like he's the 1st marginally good player that was able to use steroids to become a legit superstar
although superstar is probably the wrong word... all-star perhaps'

sure was.. his one fluke 50 home run season goes largely unnoticed in the steroid debate

I thought it was female hormones.
Maybe he was trying to get silky hair.
He just makes me wanna heave.

FUGA sighting!

Braves are so fucked for Lima Time day on Sunday

LOL FUGA ON DECK!

Medlen, like the oil in the gulf, looks unstoppable.
Too soon...too soon

I felt it was too late to go with the even better Toyota pitching night…efficient and unstoppable.

Meds....

only thrown 17 balls

3:1 strike:ball

i’m a fan.

TWSS

i’m not sure i get that one…?

Ut-Oh, you don’t have the secret password?!

i must not

and i’m on the fence in thinking that not getting it is a good thing

Garret?

….rly?

EITHER K FUGA IN 3 PITCHES OR PLUNK HIM

EITHER RESULT IS ACCEPTABLE

what exactly does FuGA stand for?
F U Garrett Anderson

FUGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wanna see some professional fucking gliding!

FUGA

professional eye at the plate

This oughta be an auto out.

Indeed it was
FUGA

with the robust .157

Gamecast showing FUGA rocking a Braves hat

Dont throw him a high fastball

For the love of god

Professional flyout

god, I kinda miss that lol.

i do to

it brought us together when we were really scuffling

rec’d so hard

man i miss that guy

Oh hey FUGA… I hoped thought you were dead

hey, a pop to left.

seen that before.

 Professional pop fly

Chip

FUGA never played for the Dodgers

It was the Angels, right city at least

He plays for Dodgers now.
true

but Chip said he returned to the Dodgers

Chip says a lot of things.

Flip flops for out 2

Awesome ball-to-strike ratio by Meds.

elevatin a bit

last inning for the meds?

yea he is. got me worried too
He's been pitching all over the strike zone the entire night.
pitch count in the 70s, i think...

i’d really like at least one more inning, but Kemp-Ethier-Manny up in the 7th, so maybe not.

idk, i think he’s doing what he has to

If he gets two more outs

I win the nightly over/under contest

Can some explain the FUGA thing please?

it means fuck you garrett anderson. TC members said it so much last year that it just became the official nickname.

Fascinating Utilitarian Garret Anderson

I thought it stood for

Flip-flops Under Garret Anderson.

ok

you win

+100

My name Fook-Mi! This my twin sister. Her name Fook-Yu!

Fook-Mi and Fook-Yu!

Twins, Basil…

mlb.com is showing some front page love to the Braves

Yahoo still has his picture with an Angels cap on.

Meds on cruise control

K-Meds is on fiiiiiiiiiire.....
One more for Meds

KK to pen?

no. at this point, JJ is a bigger question mark than KK.

agreed, there is no question that kk cant win

The man is a loser

He just needs to quit showing up to the ballpark with the team-he increases the probability of losing just being in the stadium.

D. Lowe is getting his trade value up….we can offload his salary and get a big bat/Chipper replacement/who knows what else?

I’d be happy with Corky Miller and salary relief

No.

I meant buy the big bat/etc with the freed up salary. I didn’t mean we’d get someone FOR D. Lowe…..although, that would be EPIC.

77 pitches for meds

he’s got at least 1 more inning in him

I vote K-Meds as Game MVP

the game's not over.

i’m being optimistic.

Medlen/Glaus Co-MVPs.

WTG Caesar!

“That was the change up and it sounded like he hit it with the morning paper.” I originally thought he was boring, but Scully is cracking me up.

haha, same

i couldn’t get over his voice when i listened to my first game called by scully, but he’s grown on me

I think Vin has a great announcer's voice

which makes Chip’s suck hurt more to me because also has a great announcer’s voice. If only his words would match it.

he also*
I'm in the minority who likes chip (I almost enjoy his stupidity)

But Vin Scully is the real deal. I could listen to him every night.

he’s been stellar at inducing and controlling contact tonight, easing some pain from the JJ injury

Our pitching is absolutely loaded.

What are we gonna do next year? seriously, what are we gonna do?

another vasquez deal

only better!
who gets dealt? KK?
JJ or (if the braves eat a ton of his contract) KK
I always think of Medlen when I hear this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IsRckT21sE

Not sure why.

And the winner of the most random/ strange post the night!!!!

Congrats!

Meds hopefully will be GTG for 2 more.

Lakers beating the Celtics. Dodgers losing to the Braves. I’m finally at peace with the City of Angels.

i'm not

Go Celtics!

The Celtics are evil, the most evil evil that ever evil’d.

I’m just tired of the Lakers/Celtics’ finals. Maybe they can both lose.

Oh man...lots of work to FTFY
The Celtics are evil, the second most evil evil that ever eviled where the first is the Lakers. Other than the Yankees, the Mets, the Red Sox, the Phillies, the Patriots, the Panthers, the Falcons, the Bucs, the USC Trojans, the Washington Huskies, the Ohio State Buckeyes, the Oklahoma Sooners, the Alabama Crimson Tide, the Auburn WarPlainsTigles, and the Ole Miss Rebels.

Okay, that looks about right.

Wonder how the Dodger's bullpen is feeling after a long game last night

And now Weaver can’t pitch…so…

Finally finished my Glaus gif…hope he does something to merit posting it!

Jeff Weaver

afraid of the Braves

nice to see you too, Jeff.
LOLWEAVER
good outing, sport

That was a quick appearance by Weaver.

a quick SCORELESS appearance
LaRussa likes this new pitching strategy.

THE FAKE OUT

Braves induced blister

he’s scared! lol

Don’t feel bad Weaver. You don’t wanna face MVP when he comes up to pinch hit.

I switched feeds....

Going from Chip to Vin Scully is like going from wiping with sandpaper to having Halle Berry wipe you with a cloud

Interesting visual there.

hahaha
althought i'm curious how a cloud could be effective as a wiping device?

Never question Halle Berry’s methods

Justice kept here in check...

too much?

also depens on which kind of cloud

cirrus would be nice I think…

Lol

Dodgers Bullpen fail. I love this, after having played 13 innings yesterday.

14

14 innings yesterday
10 on Tuesday

link?

here you go

thanks

I dont see anything my man

my links are beat :(

damn. beat me by 5 seconds.

come on game... stick it out one more hour for me!

Big braves outburst?

lakers w the 102-89 beatdown of the celtics

score not the whole story… lakers looked solid all night

Gasol was awesome.

He was really really good

Has Don forgotten how bad the D’backs pitching is?

SIde by Side graphic of Heyward and RatLocks .... I'm sorry Jason.
Jason

OBP is impressive

yeah, that was the first thing i noticed.

chipper looks like a coach right now

it’s his destiny

or Hooters Patron of the Month

Go Bravooos

I live in So. Cal and have to deal with so many F’en Dodger fans. GOD I hate them!

If Haywood doesn’t do something sexy with this at bat I’m going to quit on him.

Its Heyward

Haywood was the guy from Major League 2 I think lol

You don’t get around here much, do ya?

He’s talking about Jaywan Haywood.

of the Mavericks?
I'd like to see Chipper as a Player/Coach next season
a la jake taylor

maybe he could be a gm / player

I LOVE THIS BRITISH SHIT!
Can NCChopper photoshop a chipper head on jake taylor?

Or Jake Taylor / Roger Dorn head on Chipper’s body?

I’d love that.

that's what he basically is
jaywon howards up next baby

Let’s go Hey-ward!

Clap Clap Clap-Clap-Clap

LET’S GO PADRES! LET’S GO PADRES! LET’S GO PADRES! LET’S GO PADRES! LET’S GO PADRES! LET’S GO PADRES! LET’S GO PADRES! LET’S GO PADRES! LET’S GO PADRES! LET’S GO PADRES! LET’S GO PADRES!

HERE WE GO GALAXY HERE WE GO

makes me laugh every time

Thinks JHey would be even better if he would be about a half step closer in the box
next pitch

he gets jammed inside

and he still gets plunked.. outrageous
I think that sometimes

but man he reaches balls a foot off the plate sometimes where he is

he took your advice

got hit.
how do you feel about that?
/snarky sarcasm

Lets go JHEY, snap out of it!
Only fans in LA

wear sunglasses when it’s night time.

and Corey Hart
My New Haircut

everytime I hear that song

always a good laugh when I watch that video

definitely my halloween costume in 2007

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLEuWEvH5GI

he actually used that as his at bat music the year he was an all-star

what a shame…..

Again. It's not a dramatic enough situation for him to do anything. haha
There is some truth to that
I wanna see Heyward destroy a ball...
...or get hit by one...
he did...

didn’t you see the way the ball recoiled after colliding with his foot?

Heyward HBP

damn

OH FUCK YOU MILLER
Heyward - Hit By Pitch
Hit Heyward....ball looked like it was limping.

0-2 HBP….sounds like one of our guys

What's up fellow TC-ers

Been out drinking at Darkhorse watching Braves game and just got home. Enjoying the Glausasaurus tonight!

I say we call up Freeman and DFA Glaus

Don’t anger the Glausaurus. He’ll go all velociraptor in Jurassic Park on yo ass.

Ha ha!

I was just typing something similar:
You fans are rockin’ with the threads! Just in from Screen on the Green in Piedmont Park (movies on the big lawn). Fight were breaking out, so decided to get on out of there. Had the MP3 radio on in one ear the whole time.

What was playing tonight?

I haven’t been since 2006 when they played Ferris Bueller.

Whoa

That was the last one I went to too! Tonight was Transformers 2. I guess we got in about half of it before the fighting broke out.
Next Wed. at Flicks on 5th it’s gonna be Sherlock Holmes.

I really need to start going to those more

Especially now that I’ve moved down into the VA Highlands. I’m going to make it a point to hit up some things other than Braves game. Granted, those are easy when you only live 2.5 miles from the Ted.

Love that area.

Wish I could afford it! All the houses are so unique…and like you said, so much to do.

HBP don’t score runs.

BMAC!!!

Follow it up!

ok mac

revenge jhey here!

Apparently

The dodgers were tired of not seeing him on base as well.

That was their offering to the Heyward
balancing out the natural equilibrium

or some shit like that

LETS GO BRAVES! BEAT THE DODGERS!!

Anybody check to make sure the ball was still breathing?

TWSS

hahah best TWSS of the night

I just got hit with the beach ball!!!

damn haters!!!

Do you have on Braves attire?

looking for a steal here. i need it in fantasy!

sadly, i do too.

did Chip just try to tell a baseball story?

10 cent beer night?

Ozzy at Wrigley sing at the stretch

that was brutal....
3-0 mac

setting up the patented glaus 3-run homer

i'm feeling this too
Walk Heap

and then G-Rex will seal the deal

1/2...

let’s see some oracle-ness up in this shiznit

Joe Simpson is not a fan of the NBA post season
I mean

It is kind of ridiculous that a 16 team playoff should take 3 months to play out.

Can Everyone Get This Straight :

It’s “Glausosaur” not “Glausosaurus”.

Still with a Rex at the

end right? =)

glausosaur or glausosaurus rex

Glausosaur
Llamasaurus

Both are awesome

GLAUSOSAUR HUNGRY!
Glausosaur time....
BMac - 2 baserunners now on for Troy!

This team is really impressing me with it's patience.

agreed. i love to see that out of an offense. the worst thing to watch is first pitch groundouts.

seriously.

16 BBs for Kuroda coming into tonight, we get 4 off of him, and now the one off Miller.

B-Mac: Since Chipper can’t play I’ll just do what he normally does.

cardinal sin

bring up the guy who has hitherto bawmbed

Can you say… 3-Run HR?

IBB to Glaus?

Let's go back to Mannywood with this one...and burn the sumbitch down

Even when Troy Glaus doesn’t put a ball in play, he’s still hitting them.

Put it away, Glaus!
damn

got fooled there

ouch

big slider

Glausosaur

not too speedy

Damn…when was the last time he did that.

Glaus Fail? whats?!!
wow fail

and holy shit he’s slow

boy is Glaus slow lol

DFA DFA DFA DFA

so much for 2 on 1 out
circa april
ducks on the pond glaus
Damnit...a rare Glaus vidro

…at least this week

let's go

crabs medallion

meh

i’ll forgive glaus. seems a while since his last GIDP

that's awfully white of ya...
Release Glaus, he suxxxxxx! HIDP!!!! Come on!!!

Oh boy, I thought i saw a bit of a pull up at the end… FINGERS CROSSED!

i didn’t see anything. mostly i saw a very large man running very very slowly.

WALLLLLLLLLLT!

WHERES MY SON

Who are you people?

This Vidro makes my skin itchy.

God Bless America

by the dude from OZ… wheelchair dude sings..

Manny is gonna shank him for phone time…

class over!

I’ll catch some of it at home! See you guys in a few

Troy Glaus should be nicknamed

“Speed”

and norton will be known as

slugger

this as well
Why are you associating Troy with Keanu Reeves?

PeMo. PeMo. PeMo. PeMo. PeMo. PeMo. PeMo. PeMo.

Say it all you want.

Everytime you do I feel more vindicated.

/wraps self up in smugness

PeMo. PeMo. Pemo.

PeMo!

You owe me a new monitor.

My old one has a fist shaped hole in it.

PeMo can probably get you one.

Then you can't see this

PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo PeMo

My brainwaves can sense crappy nicknames from 1763 miles away.

Also, I am posting this from my ansible.

LOL….after I looked up ansible

I saw this movie about a bus that had to SPEED around a city, keeping its SPEED over fifty, and if its SPEED dropped, it would explode! I think it was called “The Bus That Couldn’t Slow Down.”

I’m watching the Selma marries Troy McClure episode right now.

Hi, I’m Troy McClure. You may remember me from such dates as last night!

McCann Glaus and Hinske

should be dubbed the “Speed” section of our lineup

they should be called the “fast and the furious”

you can throw Escobar in there too.
while he isn't a burner either

his typical fails on the basepaths make it hard to tell if he should be included in said group

Random Observation

Pick whoever is playing in a WNBA game. Combine the two mascots for a cheesy band name.

For example, Seattle is playing Phoenix? Mercury Storm!

Atlanta playing Indiana? Fever Dream!

San Antonio playing Chicago? Silver Stars Sky!

Washington playing Connecticut? Msytic Sun!

Dream Fever and Silver Sky Stars
sounds like a club...

oh wait

whats the WNBA?

women nude bathing association?

would be much better television that what the current WNBA puts out there

I would have zero problem watching more Taylor Lilley.

LOL hopefully not if the same women are competing

haha

no kidding

i would just like to point out

that the ct sun actually play basically in mystic. found your matchup oddly ironic and slightly pleasing.

Liberty Lynx!

Shock Sparks!

Sun Fever! Mercury Dream! Liberty Sky!

haha

How to kids from Japan into sports for 300 alex…

There are a lot of new people on here tonight..

Quite a few names I don’t recognize..

great news!
I'm new...this is my first season at the Blog of Chop
my first season as well..

But even so, I’ve gotten to realize the regulars.. And tonight there are a lot of noobs!!! =)

bunch of noobs

crap they are on to me…

Do you recognize me

after all these years?

i've actually been here a while

always lurking. this year is the first that i made an account.

same

though made an account last year. never felt the desire to comment

This crowd sounding like the Mormon Tubercular Choir.

i have no idea what this means

but i LOL’d

Is Medlen pitching?
the better question...

holy cow, is Medlen PITCHING.

Yes, and already 1 ground ball out.

Matt Kemp taking lessons from Fucknuts right there.

1 pitch outs are nice.

Lakers won, btw
fuck Kobe

i dont like him. Sorry to the Kobe/Braves fans here

Meds is killin, Glaus is killin

…what more can we say, top billin

Holy crap

Ethier is hitting .369 so far??? Wow.

His OPS is over 1.100

smaller sample size

since he was hurt

still impressive though

that’s down from .390 when he got back from the DL

2 quick outs
nice finally got him out

Oh you got Glaus out, huh? Now this is happening

medlen might be able

to GO CG?!?!

Only by the will of Heyward

If he gets a few more quickies, maybe.

unlikely

but it would be special if our first CG of the year came from a guy who started the season in the bullpen.

Now now… This isn’t Christmas…

Def needs quick inning here for that.

Meds at 80 pitches

complete game?

Galarraga was @ 83 last night when he got robbed

he doesn’t know how to get outzzz

Watch Manny do something crazy and meaningless here
His Pippi Longstocking hair isn't crazy enough?
I meant like a HR
No doubt

I cracked a loud laugh at that mess.

Crazy and meaningless

Like taking women’s estrogen supplements?

Thus my question above.

I wonder if Manny gets cramps once a month too?

Manny with PMS……scary.

Many standing in front of our batters in the field. Not scary.

And with that out I secure an over/under victory tonight.
nice inning

for Meds there

1-2-3

meds is good.

I don't know why...

but he makes me think of a shorter Avery…

What was Manny saying there?

Game almost over?

Meds for starting rotation '10

Was Manny sayin’ shit to one of the infielders?

Pitching is, as Jim Rome would say,

Phe-nom-a-nal!

I hope KK enjoys Sarcastic australians
What's been Medlen's biggest pitch count this season?

He can probably get the CG if he throws around 100~110 pitches

97

is medlen’s high

Medlen > Manny

what was Manny saying? anyone read lips in spanish?

you know I don’t speak spanish

Nice to see Manny is cutting down from his normal 8 bags of chew and is only going with the 6 tonight.

1 more run

until the 5-run autowin

Does anyone else find it amazing

that the same team that was completely horrible in April brought it last month and have started off June on the right foot. I guess we were just having a Spring Training hangover in April. Just took us a litle longer to shake the rust off..

idk about amazing

happy circumstance, yes. uplifting, sure. expected? a little bit…

i think a shutout of the dodgers would signal to the rest of the league that we’re for realz

Kris Rowengartner

+1/2 for the Rookie of the Year reference?
-1 get it right or don't make the reference
Heyward glides out there

(ducks head)

Graceful as a gazelle.

Just rolled in from playing baseball myself.

We lost 21-20, sadly, but at least the Braves are rolling along.

WOOHOO!!

You sure you weren't playing football?

We play by some fairly lax rules. No stealing, no called strikes, and no walks. And we often have to play on a softball field due to some group of kids called “little league,” whatever that means. We could take ’em.

I would just be the most patient hitter. Ever.

That’s basically how it works. No point in NOT throwing something to hit.

I'm I greedy

… for wanting Heyward’s average to be over .300 and stay there?

Nope...

…we should all be so greedy

Hard to be greedy

When expecting the expected.

I am greedy

I am waiting for Mclouth to hit his weight 180?

I just wish they’d shut up about the comparisons to Manny, Jr. Griffey, etc. and let the kid mash.

Speaking of Griffey

I’m 26 and Griffey retiring is like an indictment on my childhood. He’s the first baseball player I can remember following from beginning to end of career. I just remember how amazing he was in the mid-90s when I was growing up and how much I worshipped the guy at the time.

Hard to complain when his OBP is .400

Blah blah blah … Scoreboard.

OT: Drake is the shit

yep…that’s all i wanted to say.

first Kanye, then Beiber, now Drizzy.. what’s next?

Well I was listening to Ke$ha earlier. YOUR LOVE IS MY DRUG!

I dled her whole album…catchy…whores love it

i’m not going to front, i like that song.. my girl is into that mess

best canadian melodrama teeen actor of all time

until he got shot lol

that fucking crazy ass kid covered in feathers….classic episode

you and mvhsbball should start Braves Fan Music Section to TC..

Smoltz Beard

has the indie rock/alternative/punk genre covered

I’ll take rap. that’s 85% of what i listen to

I guess I’ll get everything else in between…..Starland Vocal Band anyone?

I do have like 12500 songs on my ipod

I have 12501. So THERE.

I know this gets brought up alot

But seriously what are we going to do when JJ gets healthy?

6-man rotation.
Meds to pen

more than likely

Meds goes back to the long man role unless KK just falls apart

I think Meds will go to the bullpen. This is only one start, his other outings have been short and shaky.

Do I agree with it? no….I wish KK would head to the pen..

I'm guessing they will take their time bringing Jurrjens back

just to figure out this whole situation

At the very least

JJ will have plenty of time to get healthy and rehab while not having to worry about the rotation struggling (too much)

mcclouth to the bullpen. he’s the one who doesn’t really deserve to be in the rotation regularly.

Dodger Dogs ...

You see the prices?

Water: $5.
Sodas: started at $6. Didn’t catch the dog price.

They were $5 last year, IIRC.

Hot dogs at the Ted

are like 7

yeah but the chicago dogs are delicious

and like 4 feet long

OMG

Those are ridiculous. I thought I was in heaven.

hinske whiffs on the change
What's up with Fucknuts tonight?
Been distracted... Hell yeah ESCO
Escobar

is starting to rake

Thata baby fucknuts!

attaboy Yunel.
i think it's fair to say

the real esco has returned.

Anyone

warming up in the pen for the braves

Alright Esco!

Esco showing signs of life...WTF

career .300 avg doesn’t mean much huh?

this is a crucial time

both glaus and escobar are coming around…who do y’all think keeps this up?

Yunel is back!

Nater's still hit or miss though

ESCOOOOOOOOOO9’

how bout another RBI, k-meds?

Come on Chris Midlen!

Nate, 1 pitch OUT
and Medlen hits for himself.

i like it.

Meds..

send a ric flair into right field.. another RBI

Another 2 bagger would score Esco, probably.

just

hit it to manny

hahaha!

it made me laugh.

This pitcher's got some crazy movement on that curve.
Wow

Glaus leads the NL in RBI. Who woulda ever thought he would lead the NL this late into the year?

this late? who would have thought he’d ever lead anything with the start he had. Glad he turned it around!

Maybe next year people won’t freak out in April….

haha

thats funny

or this early, given his horrid April.

I think it makes sense to again say I was wrong about Glaus.
It's May 34th
Meds

looks like a pitcher there

or a mclouth
touche
mcclouth pitches doesnt he?

wait.. he doesnt? he plays where? …then what the fu…

well...

at least he tried

at least we'll see j-hey again
This Miller dude for LA....

…no more of him for the rest of the series..he’s just smothered all the offense

Yeah.  
Like a prom night dumpster baby.

Probably won’t get him for tomorrow night. went 30 pitches

he's gone 2 innings.

so obviously his arm will be worn out tomorrow and we’ll kill him.

they had to use a lot of bullpen arms yesterday during their 14 inning affair w the D bags... er backs
When JJ comes back, I say we platoon Huddy on off days and Medlen in CF.
meds

they didn’t want him to tire himself running bases. he did that on purpose

I’m sorry, but Cookie needs to die a horrible slow death.

whitey in left
And...

They’re playing “Don’t Stop Believin’” at Dodger Stadium.

short leash for Meds here

hope for a quick 1-2-3

don't think so

only 83 pitches so far

want to make sure

he cant lose this game

If Meds throws a CG..
today, he becomes a man.

and grows an inch
you seen his GF or fiance

I think he already is

pics?
no pics

they showed her during his first major league game

and tomorrow bobby will take him to get his learner's permit
Greg White

in at left

Fucking breaking news. I get to stay at work until 1:30 or 3AM. So much for catching the end of this game.

breaking news?

A cop gets shot in Orlando and people act like it’s something worth reporting this late at night when nobody is watching TV and the people that are watching are drunk or asleep.

Hubby says, "Medlen looks like someone had to drive him to the ballpark".

(speaking to how young he looks)

He does look young.
Def!

Saturday at the Ted he stayed behind after BP and signed autographs. One lady asked him to hold her baby so she could take a pic, and he agreed. I thought he would be apprehensive (it was pretty newborn), but he took the baby, even reassured her that he had him, smiled and took the pic. It was so cool and cute at the same time! Wish I had the pic uploaded to include here, but I’ll post it soon. Maybe next time he pitches.

Good try Escobar....
tough play by Omar

dumb throw by Esco

well that wasn’t good

Esco almost gunned Loney down...

pitch count: 86

Sorry if this has already been discussed

Do the Braves have a CG yet this year?

I doubt it..

Bobby over uses the BP, under uses the Starters

Hanson has the only CG.

Not that I remember.
I don't know if this was brought up before...

But along with myself, do you guys disagree with Seligs decision on the “Non-Perfect” Perfect Game?

Best to leave it alone

or else Selig is opening up Pandora’s Box

No, but given his track record

I knew he’d fuck it up in the worst way possible

It was brought up before.

And before that….

And before that….

And so on….

Just stop it….

not everyone has been here all night..

So he asked a simple question. Do you really expect someone who just got here to search through all 1,500+ comments to see if someone brought it up.

I do. There’s this thing called lurking. It’s highly recommended.

well, sorry I have more of a life that keeps me from "lurking"

I was out to dinner with my mother. Haven’t seen her in over a year. And his question actually interested me.

You have too much of a life to lurk, but not too much to argue about lurking. Good to know.

well, now that I am home and I'm watching the game..

and the fact that we are up 4 to 0 late in the game, plus commercial breaks… Yes, I have time.

I argue for a living...

Trust me, I’m very good at it.

wait do i know you from talkingchop or japersrink

Both?

sure

Haha, your name does stick out. I was on JR for many games this year.

I feel like it has to be what it is on the field..

After the fact seems like it would have cheapened it a little bit. How many calls during the perfect games actually went the other way?? You gotta look at it both ways..

Time for a Vidro Esco

Who had more people...Staples or this game?

probably staples

Heyward, that change is so dirty
Meds is doing this verse mostly righties...
this is a positive.

righties had given him the most trouble before today.

Medlen's change is still filthy.

and he’s only thrown 87 pitches. leave him in.

who is this loney character? and why does he keep getting hits?

apparantely he stole a blessing from the Heyward

Glausosaur hops

Meds has much better stuff than last time out
Don Sutton and Jim Powell talking about Meds

Saying he’s very observant of other pitcher’s, specifically, Hanson’s. Making him sound like a good pitching coach down the road…

*pitcher's pitches
bring in Moylan/Saito/Wags

one out each

WHERE WAS THAT?!

that was definitely a strike

Whoa...

What was wrong with that???

wooooooooow

Come on.

where the fuck did that miss?
Wow, come on blue
Meds is ON!!!!!!
Gamecast

says he struck out twice

that's cuz he did
Doesn't matter

Way to come back, kid.

More K-Meds...huzzah
Way to battle back!
finally 4

Image and video hosting by TinyPic Image and video hosting by TinyPic Image and video hosting by TinyPic Image and video hosting by TinyPic

any more crabs

and you’ll have to go see a gyno

BURN! …literally.

well, a wee-wee doctor, but all the same

The K’s should all be on medallions around the crab’s neck.

yes they should. but i got home in the 2nd inning and started this

still no one has explained the significance of the crabs in relation to Medlen…

i did but they made a new thread

Crabs Medallion…

Crabs Medallion…?

??
I’m with you

one of the many mispellings/mispronounciations of medlen’s name. got kicked around the posts first then i believe got used by a mod in a write-up or something “official”

Step 1) Everyone misspells Kris Medlen’s name.

Step 2) Everyone makes fun of everyone misspelling Kris Medlen’s name by finding new ways to misspell Kris Medlen’s name.

Step 3) I invent the spelling of Crabs Medallion.

Step 4) The moderators pick up on it and it spreads like wildfire.

Step 5) ???

Step 6) PROFIT!

4 strikes for that last one.

Vidro please!
Who wanted Meds to pitch later in games?
Cause he says

STFD

THE BRAVES HAVE 1 CG THIS YEAR

who the hell was it?

Probably was JJ
rain shortened game?

Didn’t we get an 8 inning cg?

Tommy Hanson

5IP in that rain shortened game in NY

hanson vs mets... game called for rain
Technically, Hanson got one because of rain in New York

Hanson 5 innings in NY

holy echo batman
Even Joyce would have called him out on that pitch!
Damn this pedestrian suburb I live in

Meds went to high school down the street from me and he and my brother played HS ball against each other. No one here talks about him.

Now they should.

What school??

He went to Artesia HS

my brother Cerritos HS and I went to Bellflower. Go Bucs.

I mean Gahr. Sorry.

Meds went to Gahr.

Unless he gets a quick dp, I don’t believe meds will go 9. He’s hovering at 93 pitches right now.

infante is killing us this inning
Tough break there

Broken bat and all

should'a stuck that one in his pocket

WTF was that Omar? Why did you just stand there?

well that sucked

Glaus sacrificing body to save extra bases there.

Whew.

yeah, twice this inning.

Shit, they’re really killing the ball this inning.

cheap hits

suck

wtf? what happened?
Come on Vidro *shakes dice*
This is where your metal is tested

Couple hits that shouldn’t have been…focus up and get the DP Meds!

…and especially your mettle.

Cyborg Hanson tests his metal

No, no. Medal.

hahaha

I knew it was something different, but I’m drunk and just went with metal. Thanks for the smart-asserry. ha, still laughing…

Anyone up in the pen???

SHIT SHIT SHIT

Good Game meds

bullpen time

SHITTY dribblers... lucky bastards
crap.

the only hard-hit ball this inning and the bases are loaded.

yeap thats about right
viiiidddrrroooooo
Come on Meds

Bases loaded. Need a big DP here.

MOylan time plz

carrol looks a little like matty d
that bastard

Jamey Carroll

Here comes Bobby.

Great game by Meds.

Meds is out.... :(
EOF sighting right here
Great game Meds
here comes Bobby.

you’re the man, Meds.

This is the time on Sprockets when we cry.

Time for Moylan! clap clap clapclapclap

great night

for meds.

WAGNER WANTS THE SAVE!!!
Defense fails, so Meds has to be taken out.....sigh
Infante ruined his CG bid...
Moylan time

Ronnie Belliard coming in

I have Meds’ pitch count at 96. Great work.

Hey its ronnie Belliard!

Also, you pitched a gem tonight Meds. Have a seat.

And he hit well.

correction

he hit it at manny

Thata baby Meds! TC loves you.

who is in the pen?
99% Moylan

right handed pinch hitter up

Don’t really like pulling him there, but, oh well.

I'm nervous

This. Have faith in one of the best pens in the league though.

Not a very good follow up performance from Infante after yesterday.

Sooo East Coast people

Are you staying up?

yea yea yea PeMo yea

it's summer

nothing better to do

yuppp, even though I have work at 7am

Are we Braves fans?

does a fish shit in water?
yup- 5:30 conference call in the morning
Ireland people

staying up… 5:30AM and counting

Give that man a Pint!

Whoa. I think you win.

if I went to bed now this would be considered an early night

who could sleep when the Bravos are playing?

Ding

But then again I never go to bed until 2 or 230

get this kid a win plz

On a side note

Got the new Deftones album today. Not sure what kind of music fans you folks are, but it rocks.

i was going to download that today

Whoo – last bar fight I was in was a Deftones show at the Point in L5P many years ago.

It's a small world between us apparently

My friend Holly plays down there all the time. I last saw the Deftones at the Tabernacle back in 2003 when they were on the self-titled album tour. I’ve just recently gotten back into them.

Heh heh, it is a small world sometimes.

Come on PeMo! Make your drunk party buddy proud.

THat picture is hilarious.

Just because I'm still bitter about that ball 2 call:

how do you save those like that?

print screen

copied into paint, uploaded into photobucket.

print screen straight from gameday, huh? interesting…never thought of that, thanks.

PeMo lives in Vermont

Vermont, Australia

I’d trade a no run for a DP.

this
there's already 1 out dp ends inning

Thank you captain obvious.

come on PeMo

uhhhh

what was wrong with that?

Should be 1-2…

wow getting squeezed

ball 2 was right on the corner

Peter "DP" Moylan?

He’s got one in him, I’m sure.

Sweet defense...FUCK
Dammit

What a horrible throw from Heyward.

into the mound. oops
FUCK MOYLAN, two games in a row
wow

Heyward not helping his defense there

SAFE???

How did he hit the plate???

sideways slide… he was safe

Here we go

blowing this game

Heyward with the throwing error... wow

I’ll take a few Ks

How did he get around that tag???

How the fuck he score on that?
wow jhey...big fails tonight
That was fuckin' strange.

What the fuck was that Jason?

short armed it I think
WOW

..he was safe

helluva slide.
Where was Heyward throwing that ball?!?
2 sections to the left of home, row 3, seat 2

That slide was off the hook.

I'm sorry Mac...

but you GOTTA let that ball come to you.

Wow…amazing slide.

Also, Heyward’s arm has been pretty fucking awful so far this year.

this

3 throwing errors to the plate

Yeah

That’s been my big question mark. I know it’s hard to follow Franceour’s arm, but I just want respectability. Also, that was an amazing slide.

Dodgers

3 walk offs in a row btw coming into tonight

nice slide/awareness by dewitt

LETS FUCKING GOOOOO! End this shit Moylan!

I live in LA

but if the Dodgers pull this off along with the Fakers win … mad poor on my soul tonight.

What’s with people from LA and not liking their own team? jeez

TBS made me a Braves fan as a kid

and I’m a Clippers fan. That’s right, I said it.

dude...

I’m the same way. Braves fan thru TBS, LAKERS fan since I moved here 7 years ago!

You're killin me with the Lakers!

It’s wild how many people out here I meet that are fans for the same reasons we are.

That is one of the worst throws I've seen in a while...

He had too much adrenaline pumping there I guess.

heyward hasn't made a good throw yet from what I remember

SSS but still

moylan

kinda served that one up though

hell of a slide

OMG, one hit from tying the game. I can’t freaking believe this.

I'm just not

trusing Moylan like I used too….

And once again hillbilly radio feed cuts out.

And we have a ball-game!
Strike him out, then no big deal Moylan. Come on KID!
ALL charged to Meds..> FUCK MOYLAN

So, what’s wrong with Moylan?

hasn't had his good stuff lately
nothing

Good hit by Belliard

this as well

Moylan made a great play to make it clsoe

Pete Moylan

Has been suckin dick lately

You serious? He’s given up two groundballs this game. That’s what he’s brought in to do. He can’t fucking guide where they go off the bat.

This got really fucking stressful all of a sudden.

Close the book on Meds
he deserved much better than this fucknut show from PeMo

But I mean… who loaded the bases? Peter isn’t entirely to blame.

The defense loaded the bases….

Nobody is to blame

Both teams played hard!

take it one game at a time

you don’t understand…moylan is expected, no demanded, to get that DP. he’s not allowed to have a couple bad outings.

How many pitches did he throw?
4-3

shitballs

4-3... 2 down.
Ahhh come on Peter

just one more. For the love of Heyward.

Well meds

line not so good now, but a QS

I is sad.

:(

and just like that...
come on, y'all.

Belliard’s hit was a dribbler. Not Moylan’s fault—-he got his ground ball.

it was right down the middle

it was a fucking ground ball. it’s not like the 4 straight doubles last time he was out.

Probably a ground out if Prado isn’t playing up the middle for a DP

Moylan is starting to piss me off....

Guess Wags will be pitching again tonight.

Shit, not Kemp. I HATE this guy
Hate, becuase he's so damn good
Coudl be worse

Could be Ethier.

ask and ye shall receive
must get Kemp here

dont bring Ethier up

This is all on Infante

2 horrible plays on defense.

This.

Moylan shouldn’t have even been in this inning. Still, Moylan is failing pretty hard, too. Where’s this “picking up your teammates” thing that Chip and Joe were talking about earlier? This half inning sucks.

Glad our offense kept putting up runs

Good thing Meds helped himself out.

His starts got screwed by those infield hits

3 inherited runners… all scored.

on two ground balls.

neither one hard hit.

Yes, I know. Not blaming anyone, just frustrated.

but

1 of them wasn’t earned

Espn has 3ERs to Meds

Just catching up – wish BMac would BLOCK the plate better.

And Peter is letting Meds down here, big time.

Yea. As i was saying. The ball travels faster than your hand. I know it was bang bang, but I’d like better instincts there.

It comes down to this
3 runs charged to Meds... FUCK MOYLAN
Oh shut the hell up all of you.
YEA ITS PeMo

This is entirely different if Heyward doesnt fuck up

yeah, 1 run should be un-earned.

Would htat ball have been a DP?

close…either way its only 2 runs in

Trade HIM!

bc thats what I said

i was being sarcastic.

No extra innings please

Late where I’m at.

The East Coast???

Where most of us reside?? ;)

May I suggest graduate school on the West Coast for just these kinds of situations?

What...Saito wasn't available?
Moylan

groundball pitcher for the double play

Shit get up Saito/Wags

No, don’t walk him please!!!!

Fickle fanbase.

seriously.

Pretty sure this is Derek Lowe’s fault

I love that in the same thread

We can see unrequited Peter Moylan love, and then later, a slew of “Fuck Moylan!”

Ever since you guys started using that stupid PeMo nickname, Moylan's not had things go his way.

Just saying.

Don't you "You guys" me.

I never did it.

what's happened to moylan recently?

Hitting a wall due to overuse?

Please don’t put Ethier up there.

lets walk kemp to get to ethier

Then walk Ethier to get to Manny.

smart smart.

crap.

THAT one should not have happened.

OH FUCK MOYLAN
shit like this makes me sick
Obiviously PeMo's thinking....I dunno what the hell he's thinking
Kemp didn't swing there???

WTF??

EOF

in against ethier

moylan

6 strikes, 8 balls…

who's coming in?

EOF here I bet.

FUCK MOYLAN

I can’t say it enough

Oh, Vin Scully

Your Irish accent for Eric O’Flaherty .. needs work, my man.

Heyward really screwed us that inning

the over throw put both runners in scoring position and cost us another run on the play itself

EOF is on the team for situations like this

Let’s hope he wins

I’d rather Medlen won.

best bet is to walk Ethier

he is one of the best hitters in baseball with the game on the line..

too bad Manny Ramirez is behind him

You’re not bringing EOF in for an IBB.

I understand their thinking

dont put the go ahead run into scoring position…

so it makes sense, just dont give up the long ball

This is rediculous

The ‘Just for Men’ commercial?

You referring to the Emmitt Smith commercial?

Yes, it’s something else.

he moves and grooves…and scores!

EOF… it’s in your hands.

I don’t like to bring God into this, but… PLEASE!

We'll be fine guys!

Ethier is good, but O’Flaherty will get him to pop out to center. Go to the ninth and get some insurance. WE GOT THIS!

i like your thinking.

I like your moxie, friend.

too bad wagner pitched 5 of the last 7 days

Our D let us down tonight.
how?

infante misplayed a broken-bat dribbler.

Heyward… overthrow.

Okay EOF

Just get us through this to set up Wags in the 9th.

It’s not Moylan’s fault… it was probably Dave’s fault.

Ethier has a higher OBP against lefties?

good research bobby

But 32 less RBI’s. I’ll take it.

EOF is plenty good.

I like our chances.

Everything in front of you, Mac.

Ugh...I hate Ethier...he's good.

That was a strike

how bout some strikes guys

Strike 2 but no way was that a strike
just get him the fuck out
I love Peter, but 1 batter retired out of 6 faced in 2 outings

needs improvement.

beautiful strike 2

damn make up call

ball 2 was a strike

wicked strike. make him chase inside now.

Ha! Missed target, but it was over!

There is a periodic cycle

during the season when suddenly Peter Moylan sucks. We call it PMS syndrome.

K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HELL YEAH EOF!!!!

EOF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK NO RACIST!!!

EOF

with a huge K

Hell Yeah!!

That’s what I’m talkin’ about Eof!!!

thatta baby EOF!!!
Drinks on Eric!!!! STFD
get over yourself, Ethier!

you effin SWUNG.

One Irish K!
By the way

Strike 2 was a strike, look at gamecast

looks good on gamecast...
reply fail.
thank god, now lets pumble them here!

wtf is pumble

pummel with a B, obviously. :p
A rock from the Yukon Territory.

Usually found by streams or creeks.

FUCK O'FLAHERTY

Oh wait…

Sit.
The.
Fuck.
Down.
Ethier.

why isn't hohn or joe west behind the plate?

i wanted to see ethier tossed!

then it woulda just been a 4-pitch walk. and prolly a balk at some point

fuck to the yeah

Now would be a nice time to redeem yourselves, Infante and Heyward.
heyward up 3rd

close and late. you know what that means.

make up for that error

that error was huge!

IBB if anyone's on base
ibb?

intentional base on balls

thank you ..This is my first baseball game

welcome, then!

having fun yet?

Its just sooooo confusing in here….whats a vidro? twss? meteor? I dont get it

The fuck’s an Odarp?

an odarp

is a martin prado evil twin. apparently they’re good at baseball.

No

no evil in Odarp. Nitram Odarp is all good.

most of that is TC slang

in order:
DP
“that’s what she said”
the cause of everything

you are a godsend….they really should make a noob guide for us that dont understand : )

well someone's gotta answer the questions

everyone learns the same way…
“what’s this?” “(sarcasm sarcasm sarcasm actual answer sarcasm)”

are you having fun?

lol this game is way to stressful…..calming me down

intentional base on balls

International Bouse of Bancakes?

no no no no

that’s IBoB

heyward needs a hr

EOF…I love you.

Heyward should go yard to make up for bad throw
10 run homer it is
It's up to Wags now boys.

EOF IS THE BALLS

“In other words, Ron Burgundy was the balls.”

Ok....here's the game plan....

We get 2 insurance runs in the top of the 9th, then Sandman for the save in the bottom of the 9th.

To Ireland

Holy crap

That is my favorite Simpsons episode of all time.

Mine is Cape Feare, but this is also an excellent choice.

Yeah

While Sideshow Bob is awesome, you can’t beat Rex Banner when it comes to secondary characters.

Cape Feare is up there, but I have a hard time topping Monorail as cliche as that might be. Brother From Another Planet is also one of the best.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT. The innocent words of a drunken child.

Beer

The cause of, and solution to all of life’s problems

this

although it helps I’m Irish

I like who’s coming up to bat this inning.
 
AS Prado
Imhotep
The Chosen One

EOF dsiplayed some serious emotion on strike three.

Yes he did!

Nice to see really. He deserved it.

TC! You know what time it is. 3...2...1....

HITS HITS HITS!!!!

RUNS RUNS RUNS!

Spousal abuse?

No more wire hangers!
Belisario

one ugly mug on that dude

Teeth of a beaver too
HITS HITS HITS!

HITS HITS HITS

Question

Just got here. So was that RBI single Moylan gave up legit?

seeing eye single

so not really

DONT LET THESE GUYS LIE TO YOU

MOYLAN GAVE UP 3 GRAND SLAMS AND DID NOT INDUCE THE GROUNDBALLS HE WAS SUPPOSED TO.

HE ALSO KILLED A RINGMASTER.

little dribbler between Prado and Glaus.

Martin was playing up the middle for the DP, Glaus was (i think?) holding the runner.

We need Wags tonight big time

has he pitched 3 days in a row?

I know at least 2

I believe so. Saito might be available

RUNS! RUNS! RUNS!
Prado

walks.. nice

Wow. Yahoo’s pic of this Dodger pitcher sure isn’t flattering.

Walkin'

Like it ain’t no thang.

HITS HITS HITS!!!

walk to odarp
HITS HITS HITS

RUNS RUNS RUNS

NEED MOAR RUNZ!!!!

awesome mlb at bat just crapped out so I have no audio

NO BUNTING

WTF don’t make them IBB HEYWARD

why hes not hitting much right now

Come on Omar

get the bunt down

or get another late-inning 2-strike hit?

Pathetic Omar

omar is a terrible bunter
Omar

fails at bunting

Fuck

get the bunt down Imhotep.

ugh I hate having to listen on the radio

WHAT TEH FUCK OMAR

That was horrible.

wow that was fucking terrible
damn lucky break

almost vidro

let him swing Bobby
WHAT THE FUCK OMAR
OMAR

Some drunk guy in the stand actually knows his first name. Probably the ‘Larrryyy’ guy from Miami.
Foul ball – strike three (whew)

I know we're ahead, but I feel like we need Rally Caps.

this

Can you believe this is a real cap?!
At least it doesn’t look like a “tent”. ;-)

at least ethier wont be up.

Omar… not a bunter

WHY DID YOU DO THAT!?!
obscure stat check

anyone know how many successful bunts we’ve had this year? it always seems like we’re just failing in that department

Good call, rookie ump

Glad Jim Joyce wasnt back there.

Too early?

Get rid of Infante, we need Chipper back!!!

funny

that people were saying the exact opposite a week ago

Yeah

That’s what I was going for.

Why on earth was the bunt on there? Dumb idea.

Especially for us

we can’t bunt worth a shit.

So

Why is Omar hitting 2nd?

cuz hes legit

good hit and run guy

low OBP though

no power and hitting for high avg..

Heyward just "picked up" Infante....
da fuck, j-hey

Jason that was sad – Kid’s in a bit of a slump here

Heyward

not squaring the ball up like usual tonight lots of choppers

They're staying on the outside corner...he needs to step up in the box a little
agreed

seems like he is rather far off the plate

HEYWARD

Advances Prado on first pitch. 4-3, 2 down.

I'll call it now

BMac double down the RF line.

no way

they’re pitching him away, away, away

just watch. On this 3-2 pitch.

Um, no. Typical BMac pop UP again.

Those were two pretty poor ABs right there. Time for Heap to pick them up.

great ab jhey
Even Jim Joyce could have gotten that call right
Jason! Shame on you.
heyward be struggling a bit

might be time for a day off…

He’s been swinging at a LOT of first pitches lately.

Heyward

is showing his human side

now that is a ball

ugh

Saito

to close tonight

SHIT Saito not Wags up

WHYYYYY???

Wags

worked 2 night ins a row at least

Saito pitched once in Philly.

Wagner has pitched like in 5 of the last games.

Jesus Christ guys, come on.

BOBBY DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING!

THIS IS STUPID!

Ooooh. Saito closing. In front of his old team.

Interesting.

High inside mac swings. Shocker!

saito.... good call
This Dodger crowd is just plain stupid

Hillbilly radio just went to music. WTF?

No Wags???

WTF?

would you like to have him available at the end of the year?

Pitch ’em until their arms fall off, I say.

Just leave one over the middle of the plate. Only one.

he did, and Mac popped it up.
They did

And he just missed it

Arrgggg…. he did… and Mac missed it.

Mac fail... :(
Have you tried Ubuntu?
Yes.

Because all Macs suck….

(I still love you, though, Brian McCann)

Wow Mac pops it up, imagine that

Well…this is going to be fucking stressful.

as per usual
i'm getting tired of these mac popups
Heap continues to rip the ball
Damnit Heap

…he’s got that same illness Nate has

Come on Takahi

shut this down!

Let us all hold hands, and ask for forgiveness. LETS WIN THIS SHIT SAITO!!!!!!!

What's wrong with Heap?

He’s been horrible in clutch situations this year, iirc.

you do recall correctly sir

haha, sir?

*facepalm*, ma'am
Channeling Marcie, of course.
pretty much.
Mac

has really struggled lately with actually hitting the ball

Still drawing a ton of walks though

Can someone tell me why in the HELL isn't Glaus batting cleanup

right handed starting pitcher?

MATCHUPS MATCHUPS MATCHUPS INTANGIBLES CALM EYES MATCHUPS

When’d we trade for Jeter?

Mac > Glaus vs RHP

Glaus > Mac vs LHP

Against LHP .304/.429/.571
Against RHP .266/.348/.403

which

is better than McCann at this point

The other team’s players never suffer from sudden narcolepsy when I want them to.

Mac needs new glasses
he's had 3 pairs already
MOAR glasses
Lets go Sai-to!
Oh shit. This is gonna be crazy.

9 wins in a row plz.

Allright Saito

Let’s shut it down, baby!

Saito

how ironic

i hope Wags is at least stretching in the BP

MLB GameCast blows

BOBBY MUST BE SMOKING

WHY IS SAITO IN?

because

he’s our set up man . . . 2nd best reliever and our closer has worked 3 days in a row

Wags has pitched the last 5 games i think

he needs a night off

I KNOW THIS

I’M MAKING FUN OF PEOPLE WHO OVERREACT TO GOOD DECISIONS IN ALL CAPS!

I'm so nervous

Ugh.

BOTTOM NINTH... 1 run to protect.

Manny / Loney / Martin vs. Saito

Ugh, Saito makes me effing nervous.

What?

Oh I know…he’s having a good year. But his stuff isn’t like Wags’ It just makes me nervous. That’s all.

34/8 K/BB ratio ain’t too shabby.

time to solve some crimes

with manga’s own Mr. Saito. the super terrific happy lucky detective

Braves baseball makes me nervous
alright Saito.

this is your time.

Wags pitched 4 out of the last 5 games i think
You are right, sir.

Get past Manny – biggest out here

Why cant basic cable pick up braves games US wide? It’s annoying…

Ted Turner is gone
Man, that sucks

I feel sorry for the Bravos fans outside ATL now that TBS decided to shit on all of us.

^ Why do they think i started watching them?

TBS is how I found the Braves (and baseball for that matter)

I wish they cared

I’m lucky that I live in Atlanta and can always watch the Bravos. It really pisses me off that the TBS execs ended what was such a great thing. If it weren’t for TBS, nobody would give a shit about that Braves outside the metro-ATL area.

I’d probably be a phillies fan

Ouch

I don’t wish that on my worst enemy

and I a dodgers/angels fan...
And I a....Braves fan, who just didn't get to watch his team growing up.

Grew up in New Orleans to a Savannah/SSI-raised dad.

Sit down Mannywood Saito

chip just shit his pants

when the fuck doesn’t he?

idk man this is my first game…no idea

PLEASE DONT HANG ANYTHING TO MANNY

DON'T leave pitches up.

please.

Come on Saito. You da man.

Damn

that was a strike against heap

Popped him up

Nice Saito

excellent.... 1 down
hurry this thing up saito, i need some zzzz's
pop out to 2nd

1 down

CAMERA MAN GOT OWNED
made me nervous.

That plus Chip.

SWING AND A DRIVE!!! Belted deep!! and Mccann smothers it.

he did a nate

and misjudged a flyball by 20 feet or so

MANNY

Big Swing – strike one – high cheese.
Curve outside.
Fastball just outside… no swing.
That was close…. pop-up a mile to Odarp.

ONE DOWN.

I'm sooo nervous

Now that manny is down, im breathing alittle easier.

exactly what my little brother just texted me

Hi bro!

hmmmm

i’m drunk so that freaked me out for a second…

Ok I'm here

just in time to watch Wagn….Saito close it out

Medlen > Manny (and) Saito > Manny

Life is good.

life

will be better if when saito gets the save

Affirmative.

Saito

trying to get a little extra on his fastball there

hurry up please TS

getting sleepy

Chip...

DEEEEP FLY BALL BELTED RIGHT!

Caught by Prado.

THATS A STRIKE

I didn't think so.

gameday agrees

gamecast

has it as a ball

this guy has a tight zone

we’re getting squeezed… man

was a strike

against Heap

WHERE THE HELL WAS THAT?

off by 2-3 inches... good frame by Mac, but it was outside
2-2 count

FINISH HIM!

GET OVERRRRRRRR HERE!!!

Man…how about not a fastball…

no walks, please.
5 straight fast balls

now you have to throw another one for a strike

can of corn for Mclouth

2 outs

Oh god… THANK YOU MOSES!

One more

COME ON!!!!!

LONEY

FB ball high & outside.
Same place, but fouled back (why he swung…???)
BB fastball just outside. Good pitch.
Pop foul into the dugout…. 2-2 count.
How ’bout a curve? Nope – low fastball outside again. Full count.
High FB – popped up to Center!!

TWO DOWN.

Nate made me nervous there

His “I’ve got it” gesture looked an awful lot like a “Where the hell is it?!” gesture.

that was lucky

6 straight fast ball

ONE MORE SAITO. Arigato!

one more.. c'mon
c'mon, Saito.

let’s get this ol’ batterymate of yours.

One more to go

Russell “Steroid” Martin

SHUT IT THE FUCK DOWN!!

that was a ball

gonna agree but not gonna care

and Galarragga had a perfect game

You suppose Russell Martin is related to Ricky Martin?

russell martin is a douche

hes no victorino

Biggest asshole in the league.

C'mon Saito

Mou Ichi dou

you mad, you mad

finally got a call for us

wee

What an idiot.

what happened

Martin showed up the umpire. You know everything is gonna go against you after that.

One more

Oh shit… Saito’s hurt.

OH FUCK FUCK FUCK
WTF JUST HAPPENED WHAT IS THIS

Throw something off speed

MARTIN

Gets the call on the corner fastball! Strike one… Martin didn’t like!
Better pitch – strike two!!!

SAITO HURT

Shit

Saito is hurt

what is going on?
yeap thats about right
Oh no...what happened?
Wagner gets free warm-up time now and comes in for 1 pitch save?

what exactly happened?

Billy Wagner with the one pitch save?
Shit

Get Wags in there to close this down

What did he hurt???

Does it look serious?

did not look serious

started favoring his left calf area, walked off the field sort of limping

It didn't look bad

Looks like a strained hammy or something like that. Hopefully it’s just a cramp.

It begins

NO METS NO METS NO METS!

Oh gosh, not another hammy please!

Venters???

HEEEEEEERE’S JONNY!

Cramp, ONE TIME!!!

VENTERS IN!?!

WHAT THE HECK!?!?!?!?

NOOOOOOOOOO

Thanks for ruining our setup man Bobby lol

VENTERS TIME
...well, it's only one strike left...he can get that, right? RIGHT?

At least one in the next 5 pitches. :P

ADVenters in Pitching
Not Good :(

I’m hoping just a cramp.

Venters coming in.

i can handle that.

if saito goes down

i guess that forces meds into the bullpen as a SU guy? problem solved?

This is ridiculously backwards,
resop
That's good thinking.
not w jj still out... might see kimbrel back up w the big team if saito has to miss any significant time
well no, you're right

but when he gets back

Well, if Saito goes down you can bet Resop gets the call.

you are ready

for Resop to play LF again

he deserves it to say the least

WHY DOES NOBODY HAVE CONFIDENCE IN VENTERS GOD DAMNA

Confidence as a pitcher? yes. a closer? maybe not
For everyone asking

Saito painted the corner for strike 2 and landed weird on his left knee. Maybe a strain. Maybe a sprain. Maybe just an owie.

Owie is what I'm hoping for

looks like a muscle pull or strain of some sort

this should get interesting

Saito just came up with a sore left leg - didnt look too bad

it looked like Saito said he DIDNT feel a pull

Well shit

a 1-pitch save for Venters? That’s a fun way to get the first of his career.

Injury didn't look that bad

said he didn’t feel anything pull, calm down

Is Venters actually in?
can PeMo reenter?
no PeMo
damn really wanted so MoPeMO
The Dodgers would allow it....

Moylan could give them the game.

Oh shut the hell up.

Cranky much, DoDaSu?

A little cranky a little drunk

Mostly pissed off at the FUCK MOYLAN FOR GETTING THE GROUNDBALLS HE WAS SUPPOSED TO INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY SAYING IT WAS THE DEFENSE"S FAULT

I did blame the defense….mostly. Infante was pretty fail that inning.

looked like a hamstring
The Venters!

Sounds like it could have been worse.
 
Ol’ Man Saito could have fallen down and busted a hip.

Yeah, he left his walker in the pen.

He should have borrowed Chipper’s Hoveround.

Venters out of the pen
Alright Venters...

Just throw one as hard as you can.

as long as it isn't down the middle

LETS GO JOHNNY VENTERS!!!

We knew when we signed Saito that injuries would be a concern.

figured it would be arm though, not leg

FINISH HIM JONNY!

Only need 1 strike, bring in Heyward for the save.

+1419827412894712
At least he's coming at 0-2
That last shot looked like it could be a knee. idk
you got this, Jonny.
1 pitch venters......

Quick, find a way to blame everything on Bobby Cox.
pitched

Saito too much lol

so

If Saito goes down do they call up Resop as a starter and move Medlen back to the pen or visaversa

Cue up the rainbow llamasarus...9 in a row!!!
Venters can get a save here
Nothing to see here. Just another victim of the Braves.

1 pitch save baby

WOOOOOO!

more impressive:

one pitch K

1 pitch awesome.

Honorary K for Saito (even though JV gets the credit)

Vazquez gets the credit?

Awww, I love Sonic. So cute and badass looking at the same time.

good pitch

Venters

LOLOLOL...MARTIN

sex party?

this pre-dates sexy party my friend

BRAVES WINNNNN
Wow..

1 pitch and it’s done

ROFL!!!

VENTERS NINJA’D THAT!!!

pretty ugly win

but a W nonetheless…….

not really

would you call it an ugly win if the dodgers got all their runs in the first instead of 8th?

what i meant

saito got hurt, we scraped out 4 runs with the help of their D, they scraped out 3 runs with the help of some luck and our D

perhaps

i’d still say it was at least a little pleasant to look at, given meds’ awesomeness

Hahahahaha sweet.

Ummm...hey TC faithful

we’re tied with the Padres for the most wins in the NL!!!

fuck yeaaaaa

If you’d said on April 2nd we were tied with the Pads in wins on June 3rd, I think I would have run out into traffic.

1 pitch 1 out save for the Venture brother.

love the pitch counts tonight...

Medlen: 96
Venters: 1

1 pitch SAVE!

Ballgame!

Longest winning streak in a decade.

RAINBOW LLAMASAURUS SAYS THIS IS WHAT 9 STRAIGHT WINS LOOKS LIKE

WELL PLAYED SIR!

Jesse Jackson approves.

BAAAAAAAAAAAAHD ass.

I love me some Rainbow Llamasaurus. I love this nine times more….

I approve of this.

Needs more Llamasaurus
would love to see what 15-20 wins would look like....
rainbow llamasaurus orgy!
Russel Martin

fails doubly because he’s a Canadian

Bobby is a fool.

Bobby got lucky. Bobby killed Saito. Bobby sux. Wags should be pitching because we need a save. Moylan shouldn’t be pitching because he’s overused. Venters shouldn’t be pitching because he can’t cut it.

Wow...

He brings the hook with his first pitch. Did not forsee that. And neither did Martin.

i actually expected it.

Martin probably had his fastball sized up based on warm-up pitches. with an 0-2 count, surprise him.

THREE GAME LEAD over the Phils!
Screw the split

Sweep the dodgers!! 9 game losing streak officially nullified!! Go braves!!!!!!!

time for bed

till tomorrow everyone

THIS TOWN, THIS CITY, THIS CROWD
(sound of single gunshot int he night)
HOPE YOU ENJOYED YOUR FIRST BASEBALL GAME THERE PAL

lol I’m sorry it was too easy

Great game Bravos

Random question to the ATL residents here. Anybody going to the Atlanta Summer Beerfest on June 26th? That would be a fun time for some of us fellow TC-ers to meet up and enjoy everything Braves.

Will you be supplying to underage consumers? This greatly affects my decision

Hah..

I suppose I could supply beforehand. I think that actual Beerfest is a little more regimented.

Not planning on going. I quit drinking a few years back, so not up for paying $25 for…nothing in return, lol! But back then, that would’ve been quite a bargain for me. Willing to be a DD though!

Congrats to you on that

I’m not quite at the point where I’m ready to give it up. Granted, it’s not really been a problem for me thusfar, but I know quite a few that had to quit. Either way, I figured the festival would be a fun way for some TC-ers to get to know each other.

Just finished a book.

 Anyone recommend anything good?

Kinda random, but, fuck it, braves won!

Bernard Cornwell

reading this now…pretty amazing.

Cover looks sick. Im reading it.

depressing as hell, but i feel like everyone should read these sort of memoirs to appreciate what we have. if you saw the pacific on HBO it was partly based on this based.

On ep 9 of Band of Brothers. Gonna watch Pacific after.

The Bible? It’s kinda long though, and I found it a little pretentious and preachy.

Friday Night Lights by Buzz Bissinger

One of the best sports related books I’ve ever read.

too bad that guy’s a total ass

Agreed

That guy made a complete ass out of himself against the bloggers on the Bob Costas show. Either way, the book is a-freaking-mazing.

I’ve been getting my O-LIne fix with The Blind Side and It Never Rains in Tiger Stadium

Alright, night everyone.

Great win. Let’s keep the mojo going.

Thank you all for making my first experience a pleasant one

Try bare balled next time.

yeah!!!!

wow. Thats all kinds of fucking awesome.

Is it wrong that Heyward is riding Glaus

No? okay.

why is heyward holding a lizard?

he should be carrying mcLouth

he's been doing that all year
THIS.

someone needs to photoshop immediately.

hahaha…i took this from one of those “primitive” baptist websites

Dammit

another pic I don’t have uploaded. Took a random pic at the game Sunday of a kid with a lizard puppet on his arm. I really need to quit my job to keep more up to date on my hobbies. Argh.

Tips Cap to the die-hard Eastern time zoners (like me) who stayed til the end.

See everyone tomorrow night!

yup, sleep time

i still got a movie to finish

and thus, our beloved Braves have sufficiently atoned for a certain losing streak earlier this year.

:) :) :)

It's been fun everybody

I’m gonna try something with the recap.

I’ll post a quick recap for you to talk in, and then the full one will come later. Sound good?

i approve.

with my two weeks of experience posting here (the walk-off grand slam was my first game.)

3 games in front of Philly

night y’all

Way to put this one on ... ICE

well worth staying up past 6am

You, sir, are the shit.

where do you live?
Kildare, Ireland

just outside of Dublin

I can’t say it’s been real, and I can’t say it’s been fun.
 
But I can say it’s been real fun!

Goodnight all.. peace!
Early morning for me

Good night all.

Tomorrow we go for

10!!

Recap thread is up
