Oh look

none of you are first.

I’d rather be good than quick.

That’s my philosophy.

But sometimes quick is oh so good

Key word: “sometimes”.

That would be an interesting poll. LOL

Not going to lie

There are some words that I can’t help but snicker at when they’re coming from your name.

MOAR RUNZ

Melky’s up…gotta wait for at least Chipper to come up.

RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS
heeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS
Huddy

5/9s of the way to a CG SO.
Pitch count status?

66 pitches
66 through 5...he could do it
we need one more run to clinch the 98% win rate.
useless

The Reds had a 99% win rate before Brooks Conrad went yard on them

and last night's pathetic debacle
YUP

I really wonder how Dusty Baker stays employed.

Is this the WINZ Thread?

it’s the 5-game lead over NY thread!

the mets will give up anything to get infante over their if he keeps goin like he's going

wtf does that mean?

omar for carlos beltran
Takahashi has a really weird leg kick
Yep

They call him crazy legs McGee in Japan.

There are more ppl on today than last night.

Interesting.

Don't have plans until 8

I don’t have anything going on until later tonight. it’s so damn hot outside.

Rally Sheriff McCann

oh jeez

is that his chip n dales tryout tape

I think you just decided what I’m going to do for my birthday next year.

What or Who?

McCann’s going to be a stripper cop. I see no reason why he wouldn’t agree to do that.

He'll send over

Bilbo McCain in his place

He also said

That he loved Saved by the Bell in that interview. He doesn’t know it, but we’re BFFs.

i still have my zach morries cell phone

not in use..but its huge.

morris*

“Dear Slim…”

this is one strange zone
i wouldn't call it a zone as much i would call it an evermoving ameoba

this is one strange zone evermoving ameoba

this reminds me of a quote about the game we dont mention

“eric gregg’s abstract rendering of the strikezone made picasso look like a realist”

Hudson is 1 hit away from having as many hits as the entire Muts team

LOL

BMac is hitting .272 now

one pace for yet another year of a .280+ BA, .350+ OBP and 20HRs…and nobody will notice.

and another year of not starting the ASG....

damn you beat me.

Poor Miguel Olivo....

YADIER MOLINA BEST CATCHER IN BASEBALL IN THE BEST STADIUM IN BASEBALL IN FRONT OF THE BEST FANS IN BASEBALL

apparently not good enough to start All Star. Sorry.

Only gets in if it goes 15 innings :(

Yeah, poor guy.

ummm

a lot of grounders back to the mound today huh?

This might sound crazy but...

I remember when it was around 2006 or 2007 (my member is fuzzy) when Frenchy and Mac had the opportunity to sign a contract with the Braves, at the time I wanted Frenchy (this was before he was awful) over Heap. My how do I look foolish now.

It's okay

you don’t have a crystal ball like the rest of us.

Dennis DeYoung does, though.

That is why I do not

like him. He does not share.

That's because we all thought "oh man Francouer is still really young so he will get this plate discpline thing figured out".

Oh man how wrong we were.

my member is fuzzy too!

I’m glad you said it before I did.

Oh shit…epic fail on spelling error.

There may be an Rx for that.

everyone does things they regret

just slap yourself and move on

The Braves never offered a big contract to Frenchy…just BMac.

I remember being upset about Heap getting called up before Frenchy:(
anyone else gonna make it to the southern league all-star game??
Pagan has owned us this series...
In the singles and Double categories,

but not in the “When it counts” category.

oh god how i hate bill hohn
Noooo -- let Bill Hohn dehydrate and blow away!
they cant sit him

and not be laughed at

They won't

in all likelihood. Beltran’s batting cleanup THursday in SF.

Pagan steals 2nd
He's figured out it's not difficult to steal on Heap

Dang, did Huddy even look him back?

if only mac had an arm behind the plate...
He got a GREAT jump; Heap never had a chance
LOL

Kevin Millar looks like Guy Fieri

but not as cool
Wrong

Neither are cool.

he has rec'd some good places to eat..

toms bbq in memphis is un-real.

Personally, I love him and his Triple D show.

who doesn’t like triple d’s?

not me.. that’s too much. a 32 or 34 C is perfect

anything but A’s…thats gross…get it fixed ladies

/tosh’d

My screen name fits me perfectly then.

Probably pales compared to

Abdullah the Butcher’s right here in ATL

.

Pizza run.
Later alligators.
Root Well.

How's the game thread going?

Am I the only guy who is fortunate there wasn’t a knife around when Kenny Albert attempted to imitate Skip Caray?

that was kevin millar
These guys just aren't good enough for me to care about who is who.

it was Millar…and no

HUDDY THE TWINKLETOES! LOL
3

Racist
hahahaha

but it has tomahawks

the shaved-head white guy from alabama re-ups his membership haha

good reflexes on Huddy
new meaning for "throwing the bat at the ball"

new meaning for “throwing the bat at the ball pitcher”

i think reyes did that on purpose
Reyes...wtf? Who slings the bat past the pitcher??
Milar looks like Spiccoli after he got the GED and went to community college sports broadcasting school
Good stretch

HUDSON: “For the last time, NO I do not have any funnel cakes on me.”

what about twinkies
vidro plz

lets get out of this inning soon plz

geez 1st and 2nd now

sets up a possible vidro though

way to set up th dp huddy
Oh Huddy. Now get the VIDRO and take care of it.

I actually

like the walk…Wright is a killer

Great job with the ground ball!

POLL: bigger douche, reyes or victorino?
we already answered this

Alfonso Soriano.

kevin millar.
Question for TC...

my dad asked me this the other day:

Would you rather be a great baseball player (like a Chipper Jones, A-Rod, Ripken Jr., etc.), but always be on average-to-bad teams your whole career

OR

Be a pretty good, very solid player (like…umm, Troy Glaus), and win a multiple championships?

option 2 hands down
legend is always important..

i’d rather be a legend.

i wish you wouldnt put arod between Chipper and Cal
option 2

but your examples are bad and confused me

Well the 3 guys in Option 1 are all Hall of Famers and will go down as some of the better players in history.

Glaus is a good player, but not great.

yes i get that

but 2 of them (chipper and a-rod) were/are on very successful teams, and 1 wasnt, so its hard to imagine being them and being disappointed, whereas glaus won the same amount of rings as both of them

yeah, i realize that now. I should’ve just used Ripken as my example. I meant a great player like CHipper, ARod, Cal, BUT was on a bad team — not that Chipper or ARod were.

Ripken won a WS

In his rookie year, like Chipper

besides that though…bad teams the whole way

I wouldn't complain

If I ended my career with a ring, and 20 years of a steady paying famous job

so you would take Option #1 or #2?

If I were Ripken or Chipper

Than option #1.

Role players that bounce around but amass titles aren’t ever remembered.

David Eckstein will be remembered

For no good reason, though.

I wanna be a HOFer….legends live forever

Been talking to babe ruth again have you?

Heroes get remembered, but legends never die

soooo

george brett or derek jeter?

Eh, Jeter is a great player though. More of Bernie Williams, IMO, for answer #2.

you're right

jeter was just the quikest yankee of the 90s i could think of that is overhyped

Option 1. Option 2’s rarely get their jerseys collected.

will texas get to the ALCS w/ Lee?
depends

who they play, I’d say yes if they played someone from the AL Central, prob not if they played the Yankees, maybe if they played BoSox or Tampa w/ homefield

Kevin Millar

Kind of reminds me of the frat boy that never grew up.

Something tells me he has a beer bong that doesn’t have dust on it.

The Mets are not swinging at anything.

Throw strikes….dang

ugh now Huddy cant throw a strike

come on huddy….please throw strikes

Huddy……don’t meltdown here. Breathe and pitch your game.

At least Millar is honest about the all star voting problems with the big teams...
Come on Hudson, we believe in you.
beautifully turned vidro
Huddy

gettin shit done

That went well.

there we go Huddy...way to pitch out of a jam
the all-star game is in 3D?

WTF?

really

that would be interesting

ill just go drop 5 grand on a tv that willl give me a headache
yea... have fun with your puny TWO (scoff) dimensions
Random thought

I am surprised that nobody on this site goes “OOOOOHHHHHH OO OOOOOHHHH” while displaying somebody tomahawk chopping. I guess this community is not that cheezy.

I cannot tomahawk chop

Blasphemy, yes, but I refuse to do it

ahh cause it’s kinda racist?

No

You ask Virginia Tech alum to do FSU’s chant

That’s actually a legit reason.

Racism’s not?

lol…yes it is as well. Both are justifiable.

luckily they are both my teams
We iChop around here...lol

If I’m at the ballpark, I sing it. May chop if my hands aren’t full.

Dare I ask what they'd be full of

I’m drinking ice-tea or I might be tempted to answer that.

It's quite alright

Imagination is a powerful thing.

I chopped in Philly on Tuesday….I was also pretty drunk

Yeah, who would ever do that on the computer?

Wassup happy Bravos

…looking like a check box two day today:)

OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH OO OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH
OOOOHHHHH OOOHHH OHHHHHHHHHHH
OOOOOOOOOHHH OOOH OOOOOOOHHHHHHH
I hate you with firey passion of a thousand burning suns
Monkey business?
I've already had an astounding day myself, and to see the braves kickin ass,, simply is gravy on the southern biscuit !!!!

Food of the gods.

haha

glaus is just to slow to outrun that one

slowest man alive

well second behind sandoval

Hudson still needs to throw ten pitches to match pelfrey

MATTY D MATTY D MATTY D MATTY D MATTY D
hit two hard balls yesterday

was just unlucky twice

you can time Glaus' 40 with a sun dial
As Skip would say

He couldn’t run out of sight in two days

bill hahn has matt diaz's kind of strike zone
would the Muts like to take a timeout or something?

geez

Apparently.
Jose Reyes is a joke
Anyone in here see Grown Ups?

I thought it was pretty good.

I would like to see that

but I am poor and have no money lol

no, but only because ESPN shoved it down my throat for 2 weeks

and Salma Hayek

oh my god….totallll milf

Please...

Sir, I’ve been on the Salma Hayek bandwagon since Desperado.

Yes...i'd sample it

thinking about renting Shes out of my League…anyone see it?

Loved it

But that’s just me

Yea I chose Hot Tub Time machine last week over it…but thinking about it for tonight

that movie wasn’t that good.

I enjoyed it

It was alright, but “This Year’s Hangover” or whatever they said…hell no

yea, not even close

Far from that

But it was a feel-good movie for dorks like me

that may be, but i didn’t LOL in any scene besides the squirrel on the football field scene

I thought when he put soap all over his face when Darryl woke up from being passed out was hilarious

wasn’t that part of the squirrel on the field scene? cause he made the bet about the catch and then he wakes up

yea, I didn’t think you were counting that whole 15 minutes as a scene

haha…it was like 5 minutes, but fair enough

I’ve essentially called a Moratorium on Adam Sandler movies until I’m convinced it’s safe to do otherwise.

yessssss...yessss

i can taste the despair building

Looks like Reyes hurt himself again
Jose Reyes is in the All -Star Game.
hes out

looks like ian desmond will have to replace him

ian desmond is the anti omar infante
He shouldn't be playing

He’s still injured, but the Mets are too dumb to let him rest

Interesting.

what?

The circumstances surrounding Reyes coming out of the game. It seems he had a problem and was reluctant to report it. Wright apparently intervened and told him to call time so they could discuss it.

now hanley gets hurt

and infante is starting!

That was one of the weirdest sequence of events I've ever seen in a baseball game
is his right oblique the fucked up one?
MATTYD!!
he didnt do nothing yet, just excited he is up lol
MATT EFFIN DIAZ
matty d just barely missed a HR

damnit

god i love you caveman
Did Diaz just PH for Huddy?
He PH for Hinske
ah, why? Lefty I guess or what?
lefty and better defense
no

for hinske

Matty gotta pick it up a little...good throw has him nailed...but a dub it is...nice

another double for the caveman

this park is the anti citizens bank park
that's why it's a field...lol
Was that just a 405 foot double?

I hate this ballpark.

Not as bad as

Alfonso Soriano’s 405 ft. single

Or the 415 foot one he hit in Houston last year
Jason Heyward's 432 foot triple.
Where he hit that at...Detroit?

Florida

Yeah...now that I think about it, all the so-called "pitcher's parks" all have Field in the name...hmmm
Coor's field

Re-assess your premise.

I think that's the one exception
PETCO Park.

Also, Wrigley Field is a hitter’s park.

Depending on the wind.

Well, each year of the past 8, it’s favored hitters more than pitchers.

Sun Life Stadium

Against the Marlins. There’s this little crevice in straight away center that cuts back to 434 feet. Heyward hit it off the fence in that little gap.

Willing to bet that the new park they're getting won't be more than 405 at any point on the wall
missed a homer by a foot
mattyyyyy dddddddddddd
RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS
so good to see diaz smashing lefties again

the whole first part of the season it was so hard to watch him struggle

i guess thumbs are important

after all

per DOB's twitter
Braves and Heyward decided he won’t play Sunday for Triple-A Gwinnett, which means he’s pulling out of All-Star Game. To be announced soon.
too bad

its gotta suck to not be able to play in his first allstar game

I'd rather he rest -- right decision
while it sucks that he will not get to play in the All-Star game

most important thing is to make sure he is healthy for the 2nd half of the season

Does this mean he is not going to be ready for the start of the second half of the season?

more from DOB
Braves stress that he had no problems at all today, not a setback, but Heyward feels like he’s not ready to play in a major league game yet. So, Heyward will take part in the All-Star festivities and take BP in Anaheim Monday and Tuesday. Then be activated either Thursday or soon. He might decide to play in one or two minor league games before he’s activated, so Thursday not a certainty.

I hope he takes as much time as he needs cause we don’t need him right now.

Awww….:(

Matt Diaz/Eric Hinske > Corey Hart for the price of Minor
corey hart is playing way over his head
Yeah...when he comes down, he's gonna fall hard, and be unwatchable

huddy hitting for himself?

He should be

He had the 1st XBH hit today.

Bonus clause

If he wins the Silver Slugger for pitcher

pulling out is never the answer
walking esco to pitch to hudson???

that’s stupid

IBB to Yunel to Huddy who has 2 hits?

Make ’em pay Huddy!

Really?

Walking Esco to get to Huddy?

Walking GIDP to get to Hudson

Here comes the 3 run bomb

this intentional walk feeds yunels ego
hudson BA = 275

esco’s = 242

Don't tell me stuff like this
Fear the Escobar

wait a minute… that’s not right

Triple, please

Hello again internet friends. Just got back from DQ. The new Pecan Pie Blizzard is awesome.

I want one booooo

In other news, Huddy grounds out

that exists?

Good Lord I just got aroused, better than Pumpkin Pie blizzard??

Never had the Pumpkin one…

sounds good. hows this taste

we are dominating

Waaaay sweeter than the ice cream

husdon ran that out like he was yunel
Good, don't want him injured
He's done something to deserve that though
Ludacris...

the most underrated rapper of all time.

Fabolous

Common

Not really a fan….I’d rather listen to Talib Kweli

sorry

but luda is annoying

He’s great at wrapping presents

Humpty Dance is the best rap song ever
T. I.

T.I. is crazy, but he gets a ton of radio play

Speak the hungarian rapper
biggie

is still underrated

He's also underground

Oh snap

just kidding, I actually liked Biggie. too bad Puffy killed him.

most overrated rapper = kanye

and has the most over-inflated ego ever

well Jesus Walks is one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard, but yes, very overrated.

His first album is in my top 5 all time…since then his head got even bigger and his music has gotten worse IMO

he's a muthafuckin GENIOUS!!!!

no hes a gay fish

haha...but he doesn't have gills
Hudson takes his frustration of not getting a hit out on Bay
geez lead of guy on again
If he dies he dies
Time for Venters, Saito, Wagner
Time for Venters, Saito, Wagner

Time for Moylan, Moylan, Moylan
PeMo?

or did we retire it bc he sucked while we called him that

yeah haha i don’t say it anymore

I see the strike option doesn’t work in the post name…lol

Time for Venters, Saito, Wagner

I’ve heard McCann walk up to the same song that Frenchy usually walks up to.

I really hope they get together in the season finale. The will-they-won’t-they storyline got old two seasons ago.

I know, right? Stupid writers!

They keep recycling the same storylines.

way to suck

FRENCHY

Francouer has really turned it around in NYC

lol lol ol ol olol

"He's been a big part of that clubhouse"

WAT

the announcers' argument

for him starting when beltran comes back was that he has great leadership qualities and a cannon arm, those are way better than what pagan brings them

except for the great D, high OBP and better power than frenchy

LOLMets if they start Frenchfuck in front of Pagan

Even Failceour can't hit into a proper Vidro

He fails at everythiing

In honor of Tim's great pitching today:

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

in honor af it being a recommended vid on the sidebar

and frenchy’s trade anniversary http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyd6CZEV6Sg&feature=related…. its even funnier now

I hadn't seen that in awhile

Definitely made my day

haha

I love Timmy

Damnit Frenchy

you broke Gameday you shithead.

Impatient Mets are impatient.
hence why you called them impatient
I wish gondee were around to use this :|

Photobucket

no Saito today i hope

give us 2 innings of Venters

BREAKING NEWS

AP – Charlie Manuel has tabbed Atlanta outfielder Melky Cabrera as an All-Star replacement for teammate Jason Heyward. When asked why, Manuel replied, “We needed a utility outfielder that could play multiple positions. Plus, he’s a winnar.”

Doesn't Hinske satisfy the "winnar" argument better?
but can hinske play center field?

lol…that was good.

MELKY GOT RINGZ

I say Moylan/Venters/Wags, or just Huddy/Venters/Wags
Only two innings left

I say we just use two pitchers.

Huddy just makes it look so easy

Another nice job by Huddy with RISP
win won tomorrow. thats called a winning streak. it has happened before
actually, todays win would make this a winning streak
let's finish this one out first

4 runs isn’t exactly an insurmountable lead

hudson at 92 pitches...

keep him in there?

pull him
score 10 more runs

put in KK

that way we would still win 14-12 lol
why?

it’s the All Star Break in 36 hours…

And guess who's on the allstar team?

Pull him just in case some chucklehead gets the idea of pitching him multiple innings.

He won’t…besides the starting pitcher and MAYBE the 2nd, they never go more than an inning.

And no one would ever select a utility player to the allstar game

Holy shit…Bud Selig told Manuel to do it. Didn’t you see the 19 times it was said on TC, or did you miss it?

:|

That sounded mean. I’m sorry DDoS!

isn't DDoS

The phrase you see all the time when a website gets hacked?

that sounded awfully Justinlike

Oh shit…

haha MichaelProcton is fully back Proctobombing the shit out of every post

That gets annoying. I love people who try to act like they’re tough shit over the internet

He would explode if he ever participated in an OT

he got kicked off the Panther's sbnation page for doing the same shit

so fucking annoying

seriously.

not kidding

the admins banned his account from the page

I believe it. I mean, if you have a different opinion than someone else, you have every right to make your point. But not to the extreme where you start saying stupid shit that’s totally irrelevant.

let alone relentlessly attacking people for ever thinking something different

in fact we had a thread that was devoted to celebrating his banishment…it was pretty funny

That's alri...

NO FUCK YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

I don’t completely buy that explanation as it’s been given. Why would the NL all-stars have a utility players while the AL doesn’t?

supposedly wigginton

Maybe-but he was picked to give the Orioles their sole All-star, and there’s not a lot of good choices on that roster.

i guess the AL just got lucky it worked out that way

Yeah, it's been a hot afternoon.

yeah…and then Moylan in the 9th if it’s still a non-save situation

i'd take him out

but please no venters

maybe we'll see some KK action for the remaining two innings
let's not get crazy now...=P
fungus amongus
Old school Incubus reference

Nice.

“shinburger”?

uh yeah what? I thought he said shitburger
i see a RF blooper hit coming

what is he drinking out of that can?….

crack cocaine

That’s why he’s pounding them

Purple drink

he’s no Jamarcus Russell

Bitterness

The tears of kittens.

prado 0-8 in the last 2 games with 2 walks

since his explosion in the philly series

maybe he’s nervous for the allstar game?

no its my p2c

I haven’t picked a NAHWAL in a couple of weeks…totally forgot about them.
Were they ever scored?

YEP!

I was completely dominating you btw

yea…you were definitely in the top 10 for the year

You’re kidding?! I need to remember next time to get here in time to post.

Lol…well its basically brndn…..then the rest of us

Yeah, that much I knew without even looking.

i like how you gave me shit in NAHWAL the other day when i correctly picked guessed Matty Diaz as the p2c

lol I’ve been off lately

Stop picking him, then!

i hope Prado is ok…i saw him get hurt in the 2nd i think and it was ugly.

And HOW is the dehydrated Hohn newsworthy of national air time?
Paleeze.

Chipper and EOF should piss in a cup and offer him a drink

A dehydrated Hohn isn't deserving of a cup of piss

“It’s really lemonade, we swear!”

if chipper gave me a cup of his piss id sell it on ebay
lol

Someone would test it for drugs.

If Chipper gave me a cup of his piss, I'd sell it to PED users.

i’d bathe in it

And it just got weird.

hahaha
and boom goes the dynamite

on this piece of thread

several people have pulled this cruel joke on first time drinkers

“want a nice beer?”

.....

you got sumthin you want to share with the rest of us?

haha

thankfully it didn’t happen to me

*barely recovers enough to NOT spit is drink all over the keyboard and monitor*
Cause we're mollywhopping the Mets and they don't really want to talk about us

first two batter in the lineup: 0-8
rest of the lineup: 14-26 with 4 RBIs

of course its venters time

is that a bad thing or something? I guess he’s Moylan 2.0

No its good, until next year when he has Tommy John

no kidding…this is making me mad.

Good game Huddy
Tip of the cap to Huddy!

You did good my man!

Huddy - Our newest Cy Young candidate
hes got some STEEP competition this year
Definitely, but its nice to have someone in the convo after not having anyone for a few years

no way he gets it over Johnson, Ubaldo, Halladay or Professor Snape

dont forget papa smurf

professor snape

has a wicked knuckle curve

He’ll never win it.

he's a Brave, he'll never win it
Venters arm will become detached in early September

Wasn’t he a converted Reliever from a Starter? I would assume his arm can hold on.

Wait, didn’t we just have a commercial break? Ugh, Bobby!

good move by bobby to make manuel pinch hit

KK is going to rot out there

better than him rotting in the rotation

and us losing every 5th day

another quality start for our huddy

Hudson, why can’t Lowe be like you?

I’m stepping out to have some dinner and watch Giants/Nationals. Keep the hope alive.

Enjoy! See you next time.

don't you think KK has a horrible contract by sitting there in the bullpen not pitching

Why is Angel Stadium made of sand?

Earthquake proof.

Ironically

Angel Stadium is nowhere near the beach, unlike, PETCO Park, which has a beach inside the park.

yeah

Angel Stadium sucks. Petco is a million times better.

Just dumping my old stuff for the lulz. I should make another Braves photoshop thread on Monday.

Photobucket

lmao....that's priceless

So wrong yet I can’t stop laughing.

Venters is lefthand relief pitching
To have no hair - Huddy sure is handsome.

Just tossing that out there. ;-)

soul patches get me all hot
on women

soul patches on women get me all hot……..phew

I wouldn’t kick him out of bed for eating crackers.

yes we all know you are a female.

he could pitch to me

all night long baby

MiLOLar

This Cy young picks . . . one of htese is not like the others

what were they?

Ubaldo, Halladay, Wainwright, Pelfrey

ubaldo cause he's spanish?
papa smurf

cause hes blue

Nice...did he even throw 10 pitches that inning?
hahahahahahahaha

millar’s cy young picks: ubaldo, wainwright, halladay, PELFREY

wheres josh johnson buddy?

Millar Fail.
 
Pelfrey? LOL!
 
It’ll probably be Ubaldo barring a huge regression, but Johnson certainly deserves it ATM.

in florida

so he doesnt noe who your talking about

I think

Ubaldo, Wainwright, Johnson, and Hudson are more deserving than Halladay at this point.

Deserving?

Yes. But that’s unfortunately not how baseball works anymore.

Wait, what?

How could he forget about Josh Johnson? That is about as bad as forgetting about Votto for the all star….wait oh shit that almost happened.

I’m hungry. Is the game thread pizza here yet?who was supposed to bring it?

Screw the pizza. It’s Buffalo Wild Wings tonight, baby!

Jonny Venters...

what a beast.

if i could bear children

i would ask him to give me a love child

Venters did great!
homemade pizza in the oven now?
Bread in the toaster?
no I know how to make homemade pizza

So YOU are bringing the gamethread pizza now! YESSS

homemade pizza in the oven now?
Bread in the toaster?
Meat on the grill?

Tea in the pot?

grrrr lol

meant to say the homemade pizza is in the oven right now

homemade pizza in the oven now?
Millar must be a big fan wins. if thats the case, where is jamie moyer and derek lowe?4
FYI Venters just shut it down.

I guess it’s just not that big of news anymore. That’s freaking awesome.

I agree, Venters is tough !!!!!
Damn

Wada 1390 am just took the game off man they sure do that alot

Wags up in the pen.

I can’t wait for us to need him for a save tomorrow afternoon…

If it's bad hten Saito can do it

He’s actually getting a day of rest today

To be honest, Saito makes me nervous. Wags keeps my sanity.

I'd rather save Wagner

and not have to sweat it out with Saito if we have a save opportunity tomorrow. Takashi has been good, but he’s no Wags.

Plus we get three days off for the All-Star break

I’d like to save him, but he’s guaranteed those days off.

homemade pizza in the oven now?

hahahaha

well that was ugly mac
McCann

didn’t look good there

who wants to buy?

my jonny venters autographed sweetspot baseball?

cubs game is almost over… i hope they put on the end of this game

i'm not usually one to defend the other pitcher

but how was that not a strke?

FUGA is on my TV!

I miss him.

I got to see FUGA pinch hit

at the Dodgers/Giants game last week. Everyone just kinda looked at me when I stood up and screamed for him.

WTF is Kevin Millar doing?
more horrible impressions
Marv Albert disapproves
Kevin Millar goes into the Mets clubhouse and comes out..

WITH the facial

Not quite sure, but i don’t like it

guess no one wants homemade pizza then

too bad, more for me

Good grief - somenody stuff a sock in his mouth.

Somenody Somebody

was there some trash talking
Fuck you

Nieve

Breaking news from Washington: Evidently, homemade pizza is in the oven now. Jonathan Sanchez will deliver a statement shortly.

Mets MO

If you can’t beat them, beam them.

Kevin Millar is retarded

thats offensive to retards

Glaus will murder you

Nieve was smart...he knew if it was close, it was gone
So which exec at Fox decided Millar would be a good announcer?
I hate Kevin Millar
the same ones...

that cancelled Arrested Development, they moved them into sports hoping they couldn’t fuck that up too, next stop Fox News

The same one that allowed Joe Buck to call football games
Tim McCarver?
THIS...apparently...

Arrested Development was one of the greatest shows of all time and Millar appears to be the worst announcer of all time.

I looooove AD

Gob and Buster are the best

it makes you wonder. did they try him out before they signed him?
Tim McCarver
If Yunel was smart

he’d go kick Nieve’s ass.

the mets are right

ted lilly is a super replacement for cliff lee

I would be thrilled if we got to face Ted Lilly 2 or 3 times a year.

Matty D heating up quickly...yessir

lol diaz hitting a line drive with a pitch at his head

Caveman follows with a HIT!

let's pad this lead a bit more

so we can dismiss the idea of using wags

MattyD singles

He looks like he’s back.

I don’t care about the freakin METS! golly just let me watch the game

Mute

I can only listen on the radio today…sounds like im not missing much.

I have it muted

but it sounds like you are not missing anything good from the comments today. Of course, some complain about all the announcers. It’s neverending:(

* never ending
so nice to see diaz with a bat in his hand again !!!!!
Score some runs!

I want KK or Moylan in the 9th!

not close omar

who is this commentator?
the guy is annoying
Kevin Millar...formerly of those 04 Red Sox....fuckin putz
Ur commentator iz in mah gamez

ruinin my lulz

wags in the 9th
diaz has a healthy hand. uh oh
PIZZA IS OUT OF THE OVEN!!

This one is a 4-cheese pizza

Mozzerella, monterey jack, romano and parmesan

Pepperoni is in there now

I'll take 2 slices of pepperroni
jeff francoeur becomes tradeable once beltran comes back

what do we offer?

McLouth…see if they do it. Then we just DFA Frenchy.

a bat, a ball, and one of those non-prospect guys from the GCL
Promise to let the Mets win one more game against us this year

bubblegum from the dugout

Rent and groceries to stay in NY
Homemade pizza in the oven or out of the oven?
both I made like 3 pies lol

one is done and out, 1 is in the oven and 1 is waiting to get in the oven

4-cheese, pepperoni and mushroom/sausage are the 3 I made

why would they ruin a perfectly good sausage pizza with mushrooms

you made pepperoni pie?
ewwww

It's called deep dish pizza.

It’s good.

It's not hard to understand why Millar was chosen here

The geniuses at FOX are the same ones that cancelled Family Guy twice and Futurama which have both maintained their popularity years after being cancelled, so it’s not too hard to understand why they would choose this guy.

AD and Undeclared too

The Biggest crime was cancelling Arrested Development.

4th team in less then 12 months? Why is Cliff Lee going every where?

no one wants to pay him for the wins hes offering
Because hanging on a cliff is hard to do for multiple years

Because hanging on a cliff is hard to do for multiple years a single year

maybe he smells funny
because

he is very tradeable when the teams he gets traded to dont do squat.. Cliff lee will be a free agent this year.. so of course seattle got the better deal smoak is going to be very good soon.

Awesome

Here comes Wags…

oh JK, thought there was 2 outs…

Kevin Millar talks too much.

In related news, it rained somewhere at some point.

it might rain at my house for the first time in 3 months today!

escos swing makes me wonder how he ever hit a HR before

how many comebackers have we hit to the mound

thats gotta be like 5 or 6

Doesn’t matter to me as long as we have more runs than they do at the end.

Esco almost made it halfway to first before he stopped running

Baby steps towards actual hustle.

Wags gonna get teh savez

too bad we are up 4

Wagner doesn’t follow teh rulez

Need somebody on second while he is not pitching.

Bring in Chavez

he said runner on 2nd

not give up the 4 run lead

homemade pizza in the oven now?
yup

now stop asking lol

if you keep having to respond to status updates about your pizza, it'll get cold
You double posted something that was mis-typed and made little sense

So we’re going to repeat it several times. It might even become a meme. Deal with it :D

only 4chan can create memes
thats fine, no pizza for you then
4 runs on 15 hits!

That’s really bad.

Whatever

We will (hopefully, don’t wanna jinx it) win this game, we got 15 hits, I’ll take that every game, we will capitalize better in the future

15 hits

4 runs…i wish we coulda put that to better use just for the sake of padding stats

Billy Blaze time...yuppers

To me, combo SOs are nice.

braves announcers bashing all star selection process… love it

Is it just me...

or is Wags Velocity down?

down to 95

DFA him

well

when bobby continually works him in non-save situations, thats gonna happen

it is

he isn’t all jacked up for the save situation

It’s like that even in save situation. He hits around 96.

he was hitting around 96 yesterday
prado to cabrea " get your fat ass back to right field. I got this"
Damn

Thought I made it 3 hours with hearing LeBron

I hope he never wins anything ever

Who’s LeBron James?

god these fox announcers are annoying
homemade pizza in your stomach now?
YEAH BABY!
I think the Braves will continue to pitch well, but their offense is not going to keep it up. We (the Mets) get decent pitching in the 2nd half, we should be OK.
by lstorie1971 on Jul 10, 2010 4:03 PM MST
LOL

just lol

Damn it must be good to dream while still being awake.

thats interesting

they are counting on a big 2nd half out of...frenchy?
Um no,

we’re counting on a big 2nd half from a healthy Reyes/Beltran.

if you’re counting on a healthy second half from beltran you’re going to be seriously dissapointed

Not necessarily. He’s a beast if/when he’s healthy.

But what’s stupid about what lstorie1971 said is about our offense. We’re without Heyward and McLouth and Esco have been non-factors all year, yet we still have a 5 game lead over the Mets.

Wow

Davis looked absolutely awful there

STFD

boy looked silly on that last swing.

1 more out to go!!

yankees ruined my childhood

Ike Davis- thanks for showin up today
and for the 5 game lead.....
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Yes!

A check box two day...woo hoo....now where's that rainbow guy?
How is COPS

Still on the air? Do people seriously watch COPS? I actively avoided that show for the last 21 years of my life and have zero desire to watch it.

Don’t believe I’ve ever watched an episode.

I refuse to watch it

Now maybe the Reds can hold onto a damn lead...
That's it and that's all

thanks for the ball!

5 game lead

Suck on that, Mess.

a sweep would be sweet, but 2 of 3 still kicks ass

BRAVES WIN BRAVES WIN

win!!

wow they were quick to go to commerical!

beat santana with Lowe(somehow) and we r up 6. wow
A sweep of the Mets

before the ASB. would be extremely nice

6 game lead?

That’d be neat.

Might be 5.5 on the Phils though.

That would be saweeet.

Wow. Who honestly expected Wagner to be this good?

I thought he’d be very good, but not THIS good.

I'm still bitter

about that Renteria home run

wow, a shutout

we haven’t had a lot of those

Chavez didn't pitch
I noticed that too, but what's your point?
Wagner is someone that deserves alot of respect
tomorrow

S W E E P !!!

New York "The Great Pretenders" Mets.....5 GB
Have a great night everybody, and remember....

Meet the Mets, greet the Mets….let’s go out and sweep the Mets!

that 5 game division lead looks damn good

let’s make it 6 games tomorrow!!!!!!

win tomorrow and

we’re over .600 over the season

Alrighty everyone

Have good evenings, free from phone/tv/internet checking on the score, because we’re already won. :)

yup time to go enjoy the pizza

later everyone

I gotta go get it out of the oven!
Hey...where's my two slices of pepperoni...lol
Great game!! Let's leave 'em with a SWEEP tomorrow.

Once again,

good win for you guys.

Classy guy...see ya tomorrow
G-Braves on CSS Nate batting and got a hit!

Who’s pitching?

Shh...he's still CF who shall not be named
The concussion knocked some sense in him.

He just stole a base

IDK

We are batting

Dunn knocked him in on a rbi double
Freeman k's

and looked bad at the plate:(

Lol

RIIIIIGHT….liar

pics/video or it didn’t happen

A win isn’t complete without rainbow llamasaurus

I said…A WIN ISN’T COMPLETE WITHOUT RAINBOW LLAMASAURUS

a sherrif mccan rainbow llamasaurus

MAKE IT HAPPEN

I’m going to have nightmares about that now. Thanks.

YOU SNEAKY LLAMASAURUS YOU

THERE HE IS

But wait…I thought the Mets had ‘’the best homefield advantage in baseball.’’ How is it even possible for us to win a series there? :)
