Honestly, McLouth seems more on pitches now than he was earlier in the year. If he keeps making contact, they will start falling for him. He had some really hapless looking at bats early in the season, but to me he seems to be battling better, and is more selective.
If you think about it, Lowe is more to blame for this predicament than anybody on the team. Pitchers are responsible for not giving up runs. Just saying.
But he’s having a good season, all in all. Everyone quickly goes “fuck off” and “I HATE YOU” for a guy who has been part of a really successful bullpen.
I really do think it’s just the ebb and flow of the emotions of the game.
Like we yell in our living rooms at the TV one minute and scream in delight another.
i think a lot of us just type what we’re feeling at the time – it’s not our constant state of mind.
They don’t want much. Ross would probably be non-tendered in the off-season b/c of the $5M he’ll make in arbitration. It’s known that they like Dunn a lot.
I’m not in love with Ross either, but if it’s for a guy like Dunn and a C-level prospect like Stephen Marek, I’d be all over it. They need the bullpen help.
Heck, half the Padres’ lineup is a hole and they’re in first place too.
I’d be fine with it. We won a WS with Mark Lemke at 2b. Heck the Yankees won the WS with Melky just LAST YEAR (granted he was hurt for the WS, but still).
My favorite thing about Ross is that he’d play every day. I’d do anything to get him out of the lineup, and I really don’t think Bobby would do that with Blanco and/or Melky.
I don’t have much time to swing by the site very often these days…but this is complete bullshit. Especially after the monsoon Hudson had to pitch through.
this is also very true…once the new Fallout comes out my social life is pretty much dead. although I am planning a two week trip to Europe at the end of Sept…which will be nice, considering I haven’t been there since I was 3
Broke again? Damn…no wonder I haven’t seen you on in a while. Good luck with getting that resolved quickly. Those new ones look amazing, I want to trade mine in so bad.
Not to spoil too much, but the ending was one of the best video game endings I’ve ever seen. Don’t think I’ve played very many other games that got me that emotional.
Plus, I don’t know about you, but I had to pay $100 for my wi-fi adapter since I don’t hard line my system. It’s completely worth it, and I’m thinking of doing it as well.
Hello there…I quit my old job and my new one forces me to actually work close to a full 8 hours during the day. By the time I get home I’m normally too tired to watch the eat dinner, watch the Braves, comment during the game, and then play video games/watch netflix…so I end up eating/watching the Braves, and then playing video games/watching netflix.
I usually end up having to DVR the game and watch after I get home and get a bunch of stuff done. I get to skip the commercials (and some boring parts, sometimes), but can’t do the OTs.
We will have to come back for the post-season, though!
Agreed! I’m also working on taking some time off to come down to Atlanta with my brother for the Tom Glavine ceremony. I expect to see everyone out at the ballpark then!
“Hey, this would be great time for me to plunk some guys on purpose without the umps getting mad. Just the team and fans will since I’m giving up runs.”
Since I haven’t been around for a while I figure you guys have been missing a nice thread de-railment…how incredible was Inception? All Nolan does is hit homeruns, and Leo reminded me yet again why he’s my favorite actor.
I’ll give you GWH…but Inception, The Departed, Gangs of New York…all better than the Bourne trilogy (not to say it isn’t good). I might even say that Body of Lies, The Beach, and Blood Diamond are better too.
Inception is the best movie I’ve seen since The Dark Knight. It reminded me of watching The Matrix in theaters for the first time back in 1999. It just has a lot of original ideas.
now I will get my pain in the ass friend talking bullshit about the marlins being better than the braves, stanton being better than heyward and murphy having two fucking walkoffs.
his year ended with one of his most infamous moments; in Game 7 of the 2001 World Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks, he blew a save in the bottom of the ninth inning, in part due to his own throwing error. He lost the Series later in the inning by allowing Luis Gonzalez’s bloop single with the bases loaded to score the winning run.
so are all of us, which is why i said chill out…there’s still a ton of baseball to be played, and if you took the time to research wagner’s stats i’m sure you would find a string of appearances where he did poorly. he’ll bounce back. you act like he hasn’t been dominant all season.
listen guys. i just had a beer and i promise im okay. cant a guy get worked up over a close game? jeeez. im not going to look up wagner’s stats because i know hes a grown man and will continue to produce.
the espn.com nfc south blogger says that apparently samuel l. is a longtime falcons fan.. i would listen to a sermon by Reverend S.L. Jackson at the Dirty Bird Church

hey, if they guy who's batting .056 can get a 2-run hit
maybe our CF, who’s hitting 3X as high, can get one too!

McOut could have done that.

Assuming the TV distance is right, which I doubt.
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
yeah they changed the distance of J Heys 1st homerun like 4 diff times
ChitownBravos - July 23, 2010
who's with me?
trade for a pitcher, put Hudson in CF :)

you have your righty face Heyward, but then bring in a lefty to face Chipper and BMac? Smooth.

Did Dusty Baker sneak into the Marlins’ dugout?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 23, 2010
Well bringing in a righty to face Mac last time worked pretty well for them…haha.
sleezer1788 - July 23, 2010 via mobile
I’m starting to think with the way Heyward and Diaz have both come back on fire, that thumb injuries must be the worst type of injury EVAR!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 23, 2010
Phils stomping the Rockies – we need to find a way to WIN this game.

Nate McClouth is a black hole of fail sucking the win out of our line-up.
But Mac is the bright center of WIN!!!
FalconUdean - July 23, 2010
May just be optimistic but...
Honestly, McLouth seems more on pitches now than he was earlier in the year. If he keeps making contact, they will start falling for him. He had some really hapless looking at bats early in the season, but to me he seems to be battling better, and is more selective.

If you think about it, Lowe is more to blame for this predicament than anybody on the team. Pitchers are responsible for not giving up runs. Just saying.

NCChopper - July 23, 2010
I seriously, seriously don't understand the Moylan hate.
Bronn - July 23, 2010
On 0-2, you gotta throw it in the dirt somewhere. No reason to leave a hanging 83mph slider over the middle of the plate.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
He and Lowe both did it tonight.
We overcame one – now let’s overcome the other.
NCChopper - July 23, 2010
Sure, it was a horrible pitch
But he’s having a good season, all in all. Everyone quickly goes “fuck off” and “I HATE YOU” for a guy who has been part of a really successful bullpen.
Bronn - July 23, 2010
I never said that…
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010

sddbaker - July 23, 2010
I don’t hate, I just want to expect the most out of players. Never hate. (Unless you are Lowe then yes. I can’t explain it but it is there)
romone_braves91 - July 23, 2010
I really do think it’s just the ebb and flow of the emotions of the game.
Like we yell in our living rooms at the TV one minute and scream in delight another.
i think a lot of us just type what we’re feeling at the time – it’s not our constant state of mind.
NCChopper - July 23, 2010
Well
I understand if people start typing “well shit.” and “that effing sucks,” and other colorful remarks.
For certain players, though, one bad event very quickly draws some “FIRE HIS ASS,” and “FUCK HIS FAMILY” and other very undeserved commentary.
Bronn - July 23, 2010
I know...
It just really irritates me….I think it’s all the f-bombs that get under my skin.
sddbaker - July 23, 2010
When your team is this good, silly stuff should not happen like hanging a pitch on a 0-2 count.
romone_braves91 - July 23, 2010
Oh...
they have to be perfect?

It’s baseball. This kind of thing happens. Plus, the game is far from over.

Can’t not watch. Seen the team come back too many times.

At least in the 9th
we got the top of the order going…against maybe not even Leo Nunez (not that Leo Nunez is really someone to fear)

kbertling353 - July 23, 2010
ive been looking at his stats
and ive got to say… even though he strikes out decent amount… his numbers are not that bad
ChitownBravos - July 23, 2010
not that good either
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
better than mclousy
ChitownBravos - July 23, 2010
+1
Braves24 - July 23, 2010
Much better than McLouth and better than Melky. And if the price is Mike Dunn (or something equivalent), I say we make the move.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
LOL
really, you think Dunn will get it… done (sorry)?
I doubt it highly. If that’s all, then… that’s not terrible. But if it’s anything valuable at all, it’s not worth it.
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
They don’t want much. Ross would probably be non-tendered in the off-season b/c of the $5M he’ll make in arbitration. It’s known that they like Dunn a lot.
DOB mentioned it and it seemed fair enough.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
Well I heard they were asking for a lot.
If it really is just Dunn (who is redundant on our team once EOF is back), then that wouldn’t make me too mad.
I really don’t think that’ll be enough though.
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
I’m not in love with Ross either, but if it’s for a guy like Dunn and a C-level prospect like Stephen Marek, I’d be all over it. They need the bullpen help.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
we'll see I guess.
I’d much rather just not do anything if we can’t get a big improvement.
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
+1
kbertling353 - July 23, 2010
this
but if we don’t give anything valuable, why not?
Braves24 - July 23, 2010
McLouth for Ross….
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 23, 2010
because there's no point in making moves
if they don’t really help you.
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
I understand. I want Mclouth to return to normal, but he if he can’t we need to do something
Braves24 - July 23, 2010
Why?
Melky is fine in CF as long as he’s not the heart of the lineup. It’s not like Ross sets the world on fire.
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
Pagnosis, I’m starting to think you and I are the only ones who aren’t enamored with this prospect.
NCChopper - July 23, 2010
me
kbertling353 - July 23, 2010
Aw, no.
There are others!
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
If the asking price is low
you guys really don’t want him?
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
I want him if it’s a McLouth for Ross swap.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 23, 2010
I'd do that!
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
I guess
but I just don’t see Melky as a starter. Prove me wrong Melky
Braves24 - July 23, 2010
Ideally, he isn't.
But in a pinch, I’ll take him in CF. His bat doesn’t play in a corner, but in CF, he’s not that bad.
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
Two weeks is a pinch, not almost a half a season
Braves24 - July 23, 2010
We clearly have different definitions of
“in a pinch”. Two months definitely qualifies for me.
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
so if we make it to the playoffs, you don’t mind him starting?
Braves24 - July 23, 2010
Every team has a hole somewhere.
Heck, half the Padres’ lineup is a hole and they’re in first place too.
I’d be fine with it. We won a WS with Mark Lemke at 2b. Heck the Yankees won the WS with Melky just LAST YEAR (granted he was hurt for the WS, but still).
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
definitely
there is no perfect team, but if there is an opportunity to make the team better, even if it is a little bit, you wouldn’t do it?
Braves24 - July 23, 2010
Depends on how much improvement
and how much it costs. If Ross costs much at all, he’s not worth it.
The “improve at all costs” attitude isn’t a good one in most cases.
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
improvement=a little bit
cost= nothing valuable
Braves24 - July 23, 2010
if we could get Werth (and his two first round arb. picks)
that would be great. but don’t trade for some mediocre player like cody ross.
kbertling353 - July 23, 2010
can he play CF?
Braves24 - July 23, 2010
No.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 23, 2010
Yes.
He’s had huge positive fielding numbers (UZR) for his career. Cody Ross can’t play CF. He has had neutral fielding numbers in the corners.
Plus, Werth’s bat is more than worth it.
kbertling353 - July 23, 2010
Werth doesn’t play CF….
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 23, 2010
Did you read my post?
Werth = plus plus fielder in corners, neutral to plus fielder in center
Ross = neutral fielder in corners, negative in center
Yes, he has played CF. Yes, he is a much better fielder than Ross. Yes, he is a much better hitter than Ross.
Any questions?
kbertling353 - July 23, 2010
My favorite thing about Ross is that he’d play every day. I’d do anything to get him out of the lineup, and I really don’t think Bobby would do that with Blanco and/or Melky.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
All they are asking for is Mike Dunn? Isn’t the price suppose to be high since we are in the same division?
Braves24 - July 23, 2010
No.
And we don’t know what they’re asking for, but it seems reasonable. Teams know they’ll non-tender him in the off-season anyways.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
after Dunns performance yesterday
im ok with that
ChitownBravos - July 23, 2010
ok. makes sense
Where would Melky and Mclouth go?
Braves24 - July 23, 2010
Melky: 4th OF
or possibly platoon in LF with Diaz.
McLouth…. who cares?
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
Yeah, I don’t really care about the money either. We need to win and McLouth doesn’t help us do that.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
It's not like he's owed craptons anyway.
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
Melky would be the 4th OF like he’s perfectly suited to do. McLouth…the bench.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
Send McLouth to the bus stop….

Only a handful of new ones. We’ve all missed you though. Not the same around here without ya.
NCChopper - July 23, 2010
Don’t make me blush. Although I wouldn’t mind Glaus hitting a bomb here after the rain delay so I can post one of my photoshops.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Beard!
Nice to see you, even if it’s under crappy circumstances.
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
Hey Pac! I’ve been going through statistical withdrawal lately…need some more of your posts to quench my thirst
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Well you can't get them
if you don’t come around. I don’t deliver.
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
TWSS
NCChopper - July 23, 2010
I’ve been straining for a Simpsons quote that is delivery related…but I fail.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
haha
Well, it’s the thought that counts. Thanks anyway, Beard.
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
Howdy there...
What’s taking up all your time?
sddbaker - July 23, 2010
xbox
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
this is also very true…once the new Fallout comes out my social life is pretty much dead. although I am planning a two week trip to Europe at the end of Sept…which will be nice, considering I haven’t been there since I was 3
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Sweet.
Too bad you’ll miss part of the Braves’ triumphant playoff run.
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
I’ll figure something out…hopefully MLB.tv works in Europe!
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Wow, have fun on your trip. I here it’s beautiful over there. What part are you going too?
FitzFan - July 23, 2010
Munich (for Octoberfest), Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava…ever been? Anything I should make a point of seeing?
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
I hear Russia is beautiful during the Winter.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
I’d love to go to Moscow but my buddy that I’m going with isn’t too excited.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
My xbox broke again (its the older, 20GB one)
I’m mailing it in to Microsoft, getting a new one, trading it in and getting one of the brand new systems.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
Broke again? Damn…no wonder I haven’t seen you on in a while. Good luck with getting that resolved quickly. Those new ones look amazing, I want to trade mine in so bad.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
what’s the diff btw the old one and the new one?
romone_braves91 - July 23, 2010
It’s so much quieter, faster, WiFi…
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
New one is sleeker with an improved fan which reduces overheating. Built in wi-fi, and 250BG hard drive.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Nice.
Thanks just got Red Dead Redemption (yeah I am late) but I think my social life is over as well.
romone_braves91 - July 23, 2010
Not to spoil too much, but the ending was one of the best video game endings I’ve ever seen. Don’t think I’ve played very many other games that got me that emotional.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Yeah, my little 20GB hard drive is such a POS. I can save like 1 game on there.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
Yeah, that’s pretty weak. I think I’m working with a 100GB, which I still feel like is too small.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
The way I see it, I’m paying only $100 for my new system. $100 in trade credit and a new HD would cost me $100 anyways, so I might as well go big.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
Plus, I don’t know about you, but I had to pay $100 for my wi-fi adapter since I don’t hard line my system. It’s completely worth it, and I’m thinking of doing it as well.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Oh yeah, I did that too. That was BS.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
I’m hoping I can trade mine in for $25 or so…wishful thinking probably.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
I’d bet we can get something around there. Lots of people still have the older ones.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
That’s what I’m hoping.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Also, trade in a controller
That’ll get you like $15-20, and you get one with your system.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
Good call, although I have a tendency to get violent with my controllers…so I keep them around.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
lol
too much 50 Cent: Blood on the Sands?
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
Haha, never finished that game after that incident.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Hello there…I quit my old job and my new one forces me to actually work close to a full 8 hours during the day. By the time I get home I’m normally too tired to watch the eat dinner, watch the Braves, comment during the game, and then play video games/watch netflix…so I end up eating/watching the Braves, and then playing video games/watching netflix.
It’s a complex life I lead, I know.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
haha
actually work
Braves24 - July 23, 2010
sucks, right?
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
yea
Who does that?
Braves24 - July 23, 2010
suckers, that’s who…and apparently I’ve joined the ranks.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
I’d love to quit my job and get another one that makes me work during the day.
BullManUGA - July 23, 2010
Don’t! Enjoy the complacency while you can.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
I’m at work right now doing a newscast. I’d much rather be at home watching the game.
BullManUGA - July 23, 2010
Hey, at least you’re in the OT though.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Heck no, I work 2:30-1130
BullManUGA - July 23, 2010
I’m running out of silver linings here…
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
If I told you how much I made you would start to feel really bad for me.
BullManUGA - July 23, 2010
I’ll just stop talking then…
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Yeah...
I usually end up having to DVR the game and watch after I get home and get a bunch of stuff done. I get to skip the commercials (and some boring parts, sometimes), but can’t do the OTs.
We will have to come back for the post-season, though!
sddbaker - July 23, 2010
Agreed! I’m also working on taking some time off to come down to Atlanta with my brother for the Tom Glavine ceremony. I expect to see everyone out at the ballpark then!
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
I'll bring the cosmos!
Housesitting again!!

Braves * > Marlins *
AllSaintsDay - July 23, 2010
They get the most practice!
BeatTehMets - July 23, 2010
They always screw it up somehow
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
rains stopped….. play ball!
ChitownBravos - July 23, 2010
Well damn.
this has been hard to watch.
Bob Mackie - July 23, 2010
Fucking rain delay! WTF did they not start this franchise w/ a dome stadium?? EPIC FAIL!
FitzFan - July 23, 2010
dont they share with the dolphins
ChitownBravos - July 23, 2010
yep
Braves24 - July 23, 2010
They didn’t even get their own stadium.
BullManUGA - July 23, 2010
Yeah that's my point. TB & FLA got hosed in the stadium department, while ARI & COL got sweet new ones. Never got that.
FitzFan - July 23, 2010
TB got the White Sox stadium.
BullManUGA - July 23, 2010
Well, it's not like NFL teams are keen on domed stadia.
AllSaintsDay - July 23, 2010
need fans to get a stadium
look at the Rays… they have fans… now they will get a new stadium
ChitownBravos - July 23, 2010
They have fans?
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
not real ones
but if they build them a stadium in tampa instead of making them drive an hr to st pete more people would show up
ChitownBravos - July 23, 2010
bud selig said this is one of his priorities
ChitownBravos - July 23, 2010
Hope so. Don’t trust that guy.
FitzFan - July 23, 2010
But they should've gotten one from the jump, before anyone new if they had fans.
FitzFan - July 23, 2010
Now they have to take it off
Stupid
BigG1392 - July 23, 2010
Hahah MLB.tv cuts to the Rain Delay image just as they start pulling the tarp
AllSaintsDay - July 23, 2010
the delay probably hurts the pitcher more
maybe that’s the break that we need
LEastCoastBears - July 23, 2010
so no rain delay.... ok... weird
Braves Biceps - July 23, 2010
just one hit now would be nice....
Braves Biceps - July 23, 2010
Wait....is the game starting back up?
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010

Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
Just about to.

LEastCoastBears - July 23, 2010

Take that one for the team Omar!

it wasn't desu
kp.atl - July 23, 2010
warning?
thrashtalk - July 23, 2010
He's obviously not throwing at anyone intentionally
With the bases loaded in a one run game in the 9th inning.
Bronn - July 23, 2010
I dunno
If you didn’t want to be tossed, that’d be the perfect time to do it…
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
I'm sure that's what he's thinking
“Hey, this would be great time for me to plunk some guys on purpose without the umps getting mad. Just the team and fans will since I’m giving up runs.”
Bronn - July 23, 2010
It's just crazy enough to work.

He’s not afraid to keep pitching inside is he?

smart move walking glaus to load the bases
we can’t do shit with bases loaded
atl192485 - July 23, 2010
we can draw a
walkhbpRichmondBraves - July 23, 2010
expect that
atl192485 - July 23, 2010
wags
is gonna come out smoking these guys tonight
ChitownBravos - July 23, 2010
Wow....that was bad.
Come on Wags!
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
What he did?
AllSaintsDay - July 23, 2010
Omar doesn't K much, so I forgive him...
but that was unfortunate.
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
this umpire keeps falling for the horrible frame job being done by Paulino. His familt should be embarrased
depp63 - July 23, 2010
Honestly - we should have gotten more there.
I’m glad we got the lead, but a simple fly ball by Alex or Omar would have gotten another run.
NCChopper - July 23, 2010
2 outs with omar
RichmondBraves - July 23, 2010
Yeah, after I read what I typed I realized. Knew it wouldn’t go uncaught.
NCChopper - July 23, 2010
i correct with love
and a tiny hint of malice :)
RichmondBraves - July 23, 2010
how can the marlins play without fans?
just watching the game without the cheering it’s depressing, imagine if you are playing in it.
Kobe:The Legend - July 23, 2010
End this f***ing game
right now.
BigG1392 - July 23, 2010
Phillies won, Mets are winning
we NEED this one.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
looong game
ChitownBravos - July 23, 2010
bet there's no HR off of Wags tonight
WisdomVendor - July 23, 2010
C’mon Wags. No funny stuff this time. Let’s get a win!
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
lets go billy goat
Bob Mackie - July 23, 2010
Wes Helms desu
kp.atl - July 23, 2010
dear wagner
don’t throw that pitch again.
love, david
RichmondBraves - July 23, 2010
come on wags
nfierstos10 - July 23, 2010
who’s umping the plate?
MBL1 - July 23, 2010 via mobile
Stevie Wonder
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
I was just trying to think of his name
whodat? - July 23, 2010
fieldin culbrith
atl192485 - July 23, 2010
..
NCChopper - July 23, 2010
Ray Charles
sddbaker - July 23, 2010
Wow.
Thought he was dead. He looks pretty good.
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
bobby needs a short leash tonight
ChitownBravos - July 23, 2010
Shut it down wagner
Braves24 - July 23, 2010
HE WENT
JasonHeywardisGod - July 23, 2010
Since I haven’t been around for a while I figure you guys have been missing a nice thread de-railment…how incredible was Inception? All Nolan does is hit homeruns, and Leo reminded me yet again why he’s my favorite actor.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Is that move a thriller, horror movie or what?
FitzFan - July 23, 2010
Suspense/Action
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 23, 2010
it’s a 2.5 hour movie, with like 2 hours of pure suspense. thriller-ish, i guess.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
ssssshhh i havent seen it!
BullManUGA - July 23, 2010
what the fuck are you waiting for!
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
an invitation!
BullManUGA - July 23, 2010
3 outs.
fandave - July 23, 2010
I thought it was very good. I wanna go watch one more time. And yes, Leo is my favorite actor without a doubt.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
Leo over Matt Damon?
romone_braves91 - July 23, 2010
No question.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Bourne Identities and Good Will Hunting are better than anything Leo has done.
romone_braves91 - July 23, 2010
Titanic?
Braves24 - July 23, 2010
I’ll give you GWH…but Inception, The Departed, Gangs of New York…all better than the Bourne trilogy (not to say it isn’t good). I might even say that Body of Lies, The Beach, and Blood Diamond are better too.
Really just comes down to personal preference.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
The Departed and Body of Lies were both awesome….he was decent in The Aviator, too, but that movie was too long for its own good.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 23, 2010
Also….Catch Me If You Can.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 23, 2010
Agreed…Aviator was just too long for me. Still a decent flick though.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
The Departed is real good
Braves24 - July 23, 2010
Yeah, I don’t really believe Damon except for when he’s Jason Bourne.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
+1
Although, Good Will Hunting is still in my top-5
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Did you seriously ask that?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 23, 2010
We are talking about LEONARDO DICAPRIO!!!!!! The man did Titanic. That has to dock some points.
romone_braves91 - July 23, 2010
Matt Damon is friends with Ben Afleck….that has to dock him some points.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 23, 2010
haha
dock.
Kudzu Kid - July 23, 2010
BA is a hell of a director though, you’ve got to give him that.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Actually, I think his little brother is a better director…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 23, 2010
What’d he direct?
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Actually, nevermind…..he only has shared director credits with Ben.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 23, 2010
Gone Baby Gone was incredible, and Ben’s new movie looks pretty fucking good too.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
What new movie is that?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 23, 2010
The Town.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
Oh yeah….saw the trailer for that before Inception. :-p
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 23, 2010
http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/wb/thetown/
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
haha, "dock"
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
Clever…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 23, 2010
less incredible than a leadoff BB in the 9th
fandave - July 23, 2010
agreed. good to see you’re still all business, fandave. /hat tip
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
We missed you! Here have some pizza
MBL1 - July 23, 2010 via mobile
good but not a great movie. Too many things in it I had problems with. Can’t say what it is (don’t want to spoil it.)
romone_braves91 - July 23, 2010
Hmm…I’d be interested to hear your critiques.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Most definitely. You should open up an off topic thread again.
romone_braves91 - July 23, 2010
Probably still too early to discuss spoilers..but eventually.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
I thought it was good/great. Definitely a must see, but not one of my all-time favorites.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
It’s borderline top-10 for me, but I love psychological thrillers more than most. Best movie I’ve seen since No Country For Old Men.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Still haven’t seen that. I need to.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
Please see it immediately. SO GOOD.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Inception is the best movie I’ve seen since The Dark Knight. It reminded me of watching The Matrix in theaters for the first time back in 1999. It just has a lot of original ideas.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 23, 2010
+1
I feel the same way, except I think I might like it better than TDK. Would have to watch it again though.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
I’m going to it tomorrow to appease my wife for her birthday. I’m not looking forward to it.
I can’t stand DiCaprio.
UMDBHIK - July 23, 2010
Leo is a complete badass in pretty much every movie since Titanic…what’s not to like?
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Ok I have to give it to Inception for being original.
romone_braves91 - July 23, 2010
BB… get it done billy
ChitownBravos - July 23, 2010
FML
a leadoff walk? Really?
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
vidro time
Braves24 - July 23, 2010
Vidro is in need. Now would be nice.
NCChopper - July 23, 2010

with bonifacio and coghlan
Bob Mackie - July 23, 2010
WTH Billy?
Buckle down bro
Zeus12888 - July 23, 2010

ChitownBravos - July 23, 2010

C’mon Bill Bill
sddbaker - July 23, 2010
WHERE WAS THAT?
whodat? - July 23, 2010
my heart is in my throat
ChitownBravos - July 23, 2010
Come on Wags
you’re scaring me, man.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
WTHell with the sudden strike zone squeeze?
NCChopper - July 23, 2010
yet somehow, Gonzalez had the strikezone of Texas when he was hitting.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
MVP with the loudness
ChitownBravos - July 23, 2010
If McLouth had that
he’d have never gone on the DL… And we’d have won that Arizona game.
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
yeah
but we may not have won all those games after he left either
ChitownBravos - July 23, 2010
True.
Just sayin’
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
its the chicken or the egg my friend
ChitownBravos - July 23, 2010
Yea bullshit we're getting squeezed big time here
Zeus12888 - July 23, 2010
Melky yelling for that one.
NCChopper - July 23, 2010
So, nervous Pervis time?
UMDBHIK - July 23, 2010
I reeeeaaaallllly wish he hadn’t walked Helms right now.
sleezer1788 - July 23, 2010 via mobile
Hate to break it to you guys
but if Gameday is accurate we aren’t getting squeezed at all.
RichmondBraves - July 23, 2010
Gameday is so inaccurate it hurts.
BullManUGA - July 23, 2010
Gameday is not accurate
haven’t we been over this?
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
me and you personally?
no
RichmondBraves - July 23, 2010
OK.
Well now we have.
Jacob Peterson - July 23, 2010
Gameday isn't accurate
whodat? - July 23, 2010
Maybe not officially – but this guys zone has not been consistent.
NCChopper - July 23, 2010
believe me
Gameday is how I watch most of the games. I got it on tv and we are getting squeezed
Braves24 - July 23, 2010
im scared shitless
JasonHeywardisGod - July 23, 2010
Psst, if you get Sanchez 0-2 … don’t throw him a slider please.
NCChopper - July 23, 2010
::side note::
Kids are a pain, never have them. Glad I could be here for the end though…
Kudzu Kid - July 23, 2010
too late....
WAY too late
sddbaker - July 23, 2010
but they were worth it
sddbaker - July 23, 2010
nah, I tease.
it just took me 2 hours to put an 8 month down. Not conducive for watching the game…
Kudzu Kid - July 23, 2010
Never did. ;-)
NCChopper - July 23, 2010

Kobe:The Legend - July 23, 2010

JasonHeywardisGod - July 23, 2010

you don’t use a one-armed person to scare someone.
RichmondBraves - July 23, 2010
and that's why
you leave a note
BraveSaluki - July 23, 2010
and that's why
you don’t yell
RichmondBraves - July 23, 2010

Braves24 - July 23, 2010
A great team would find a way to win this game
Let’s see if we can do it.

BigG1392 - July 23, 2010

Zeus12888 - July 23, 2010
One of the wildest games I've ever seen.
Get the out, and win in extras.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
I don’t think he should be out there still.
NCChopper - July 23, 2010
But what the hell do I know.
NCChopper - July 23, 2010
marlins win
ChitownBravos - July 23, 2010
whoops

well just pick up the next 2… with our better pitchers
ChitownBravos - July 23, 2010
Fucking unbelievable
The 2nd game in 3 nights that we had won.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
Bobby should have never let him stay out there after that play at the plate.
NCChopper - July 23, 2010
but
Wags is teh closer to get savezErihury - July 23, 2010
CRAP
That hurts bad
Bob Mackie - July 23, 2010
DFA him
Tim Goad - July 23, 2010
Murphy again! YOU ARE FUCKING KIDDING ME?!!
Kobe:The Legend - July 23, 2010

This aint gonna cut it Wagner
whodat? - July 23, 2010
Oh yeah
He really sucks, right? Get a life.
sddbaker - July 23, 2010
Damn…can’t believe I’ve missed so much in depth analysis
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
wagner not sharp past two outings.
RichmondBraves - July 23, 2010
this one is on bobby, nate and b-wags
bobby left lowe out to dry. Wags sucked and nate sucked
Braves Biceps - July 23, 2010
Yeah but Nate always sucks.
UMDBHIK - July 23, 2010
And so does Lowe
Sam Jethroe - July 23, 2010
Brilliant analysis.
sddbaker - July 23, 2010
this explains everything
donnie murphy’s number is 22
atl192485 - July 23, 2010
That has to be
the worst game of the season
Bob Mackie - July 23, 2010
I think coming back several times
and not throwing in the towel actually made it a pretty good game.
sddbaker - July 23, 2010
Agreed
Sam Jethroe - July 23, 2010
Where the fuck was the offense in the 9th?
Bases loaded, 1 out, shitty pitcher, and we don’t score.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
Well, they did get help from the ump, but we still should have done something.
sleezer1788 - July 23, 2010 via mobile
Fuck.
Kudzu Kid - July 23, 2010
Terrible, terrible loss
but this team has shown great ability in rebounding from these type of losses this year
LEastCoastBears - July 23, 2010
If we
still had Yunel we would have won!!! lol I’m joking…I just need to make myself laugh to keep from crying after that loss. haha
AlabamaTitans2009 - July 23, 2010
This was a hard loss - since we came back MORE THAN ONCE.
NCChopper - July 23, 2010
Amen, sister.
sddbaker - July 23, 2010
Damn Marlins....
Why do they turn it up to 11 when we’re playing them?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 23, 2010
there is always that one team
nuftjedi - July 23, 2010
i really hope
bwags wasn’t hurt on the play at the plate
atl192485 - July 23, 2010
yeah...
That’s more of a concern to me than losing one game.
sddbaker - July 23, 2010
WatsonTiger - July 23, 2010
i want to see some diaz and some melk man in the starting lineup tomorrow
i dont care if it is a RHP
ChitownBravos - July 23, 2010
LVP goes to Brian McCann for his inability to catch a pitch. Fucking dumbass.
AnEternalEnigma - July 23, 2010
there never should have had a man on third to begin with
nuftjedi - July 23, 2010
this
plus, he had a great offensive game. can’t give him the game LVP
atl192485 - July 23, 2010
really? wow did you saw today’s game?
Kobe:The Legend - July 23, 2010
cool it, please…and he didn’t help with his offense, either. oh no, he was JUST HORRIBLE tonight. can’t hit homers or nothin.
MBL1 - July 23, 2010 via mobile
Never mind that he tied the game. Twice.

You do realize that we lose the game waaay before that without him right?

LOL…I miss posts like this.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Now you know why I'm still on TC.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
I think I’m just going to have to force my way back…there’s too many new idiots posting
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Hahahahah
4 RBIs.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
Flagged...
Obvious idiot.
sddbaker - July 23, 2010
now I will get my pain in the ass friend talking bullshit about the marlins being better than the braves, stanton being better than heyward and murphy having two fucking walkoffs.

lol stanton
Zeus12888 - July 23, 2010
it’s called scoreboard, my friend.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
ask your friend
what that giant orange blur is in the background when im watching marlins home games
Dee-Az - July 23, 2010
Let’s just blame Nate.
I hope Wagner’s ankle is not bothering him….and I won’t be on TC tomorrow. I don’t wanna see the recap :(

Fuck
Bob Mackie - July 23, 2010
Wagner
I’m concerned for Wagner. 2 straight blown saves. Is he hurt? Could this affect his confidence next time?
rubbles88 - July 23, 2010
as i said, I hope his ankle is not bothering him. If he goes on the DL….who’s the closer?
MBL1 - July 23, 2010 via mobile
jonny venters, duh
atl192485 - July 23, 2010
He’s human, get over it. Even if you look up Marino Rivera stat’s you’ll find that at one point in time he had a bad stretch.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
didn't he lose a World series once?
thrashtalk - July 23, 2010
Impossible! (also, not sure why I put an apostrophe on ‘stats’…too much whiskey perhaps)
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
from wiki
thrashtalk - July 23, 2010
I guess I got spoiled that when Wagner comes in, it’s lights out.
rubbles88 - July 23, 2010
me too…unfortunately it’s just a wake up call. he’ll back in a groove in no time. better that he does this now than at the end of september.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Come on people.
Suck it up. Two bad games. Two. Cut the guy a little slack, and quit crying.
And no, it won’t “affect his confidence” He’s not a freaking whiny baby.
sddbaker - July 23, 2010
He’s, what, 37 years old…!? He knows how to bounce back after a couple of bad outings.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
is jonny suspended now?
thrashtalk - July 23, 2010
Monday we know
BeatTehMets - July 23, 2010
mets winning too.......
thrashtalk - July 23, 2010
if they win, they’re 6 back.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
OH NO
sddbaker - July 23, 2010
Our season is over. I vote we start a fire sale.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
Heyward, Venters, Minor, and Prado for Bruce Chen. MAKE IT SO, WREN
BraveSaluki - July 23, 2010
Throw in Jojo to seal the de—- wait, what?!
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
The saddest part of that deal for me is that we don’t have Jo-Jo to kick around any more
BraveSaluki - July 23, 2010
i cant take it
this game was like a microcosm for the last two weeks of last season… so many shifts back and forth. i cant take the emotional rollercoaster
Dee-Az - July 23, 2010
chill the fuck out
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
listen
im not worried about our season, im emotionally invested in this squad.
Dee-Az - July 23, 2010
so are all of us, which is why i said chill out…there’s still a ton of baseball to be played, and if you took the time to research wagner’s stats i’m sure you would find a string of appearances where he did poorly. he’ll bounce back. you act like he hasn’t been dominant all season.
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
You...
are making my eyes roll out of my head.
sddbaker - July 23, 2010
listen guys. i just had a beer and i promise im okay. cant a guy get worked up over a close game? jeeez. im not going to look up wagner’s stats because i know hes a grown man and will continue to produce.
Dee-Az - July 23, 2010
Alright kiddos
We’re SIX games up on Philly and maybe 7 up on NY.
Everyone calm down. Shit.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
Oh yeah, and it’s Kendrick vs. Ubaldo tomorrow.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
Good night all.
Tomorrow’s another day…
Kudzu Kid - July 23, 2010
This just means they'll be pissed when we win the next 2...

NCChopper - July 23, 2010
I hate the damn marlins.
Bob Mackie - July 23, 2010
+1000
Sam Jethroe - July 23, 2010
Lots of negativity
Feels like I’m viewing a thread at braves.com, lol. There are going to be days like this, fellas.
DuPu - July 23, 2010
I vote we close the thread
are you guys really this mad? Shit happens. We’re still 6 ahead and we’ve won like 9 series this year after losing the 1st game.
Scott Coleman - July 23, 2010
Smoltz's Beard - July 23, 2010
Needs more pillaging.

samuel l jackson
is a falcons fan?
atl192485 - July 23, 2010
the espn.com nfc south blogger says that apparently samuel l. is a longtime falcons fan.. i would listen to a sermon by Reverend S.L. Jackson at the Dirty Bird Church
Dee-Az - July 23, 2010
Scarlett says..
Tomorrow is another day
!
sddbaker - July 23, 2010
That helps
“Fiddle de dee!” also seems appropriate.
Like Adam LaRoche and his weird streak of grand slams, every time Mac hits a clutch homer, we lose.
So he should stop doing that.
