A combination of three and five. Brilliant

I’ll take Ape Tit for $1000

finish this game off plz!!!!
lets finish them off
The bullpen thread!!!

WAHOOOOOO

that wasnt supposed to be a reply to anything

I was seriously wondering when my z marking went all the way up here
Get Away with a Series WIN please!
3 more outs plz Big Red

I think Tommy deserves a standing O

i think he deserves a win...

7 innings. 2 hits? I’d say so.

Tommy Hanson is so awesome

I like how to top Recomended Fanpost on the right is

“Petition to Stop Worrying About Tommy Hanson”

hahaha

let's keep the speedy guys off the bases

was literally just thinking that.

whos watchin this on mlb tv?

<—-

do u guys get those stupid commercials haha
yeaaah

they’re actually slightly better than they were last year… somehow

Watching on my iPhone. It cuts out the commercials, thankfully.

"u want JERSEY? YANKEE JERSEY!" lmao
wow

6 first pitch outs

way to make bourgeois eat cake
Hanson today

5 perfect innings
1 no hitter inings
1 damn inning
almost perfect (fucking Bourn)

That little man can run.

No racism.

ouch

july 3rd is hansons last win…unlucky

That changes Today.

no he sucks

doesnt know how to win needs to learn from Lowe how to win

come on jonny

put him away

c´mon Vento
find that strike zone
payback!!!!!!! in yo face
Buzzing the tower!!!!
Ugh... come on Venters
Take out take out take out!!!
jonny...has some issues when that curve doesnt curve
SUSPEND VENTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111!
c´mon throw strikes
That's what you get for scoring earlier Bourne!
then he gets that high cheeeseee
Hm

Anyone else notice that WS champions always have some stud middle reliever that’s always being gushed about? Rivera setting up Wetteland, K-Rod setting up Percival, Okajima setting up Papelbon, etc, etc?

Venters setting up Wagner has a nice ring to it…

the astros thread has like 200 comments

Pirates don’t even do a daily thread.

there’s no reason to

you should have seen here in 2008

The OTs barely cracked 200 after the Braves were way out of it, and it was typically the same 5-6 people if that, posting in them all talking about anything other than baseball

that stinks

on that note of anything other than baseball...

i know this is random but i am trying to figure out how this happened…but some guy just had surgery because he had a pea plant growing in his lung…

what a bitch swing
I'd be scared to step in there and swing when one zips by my head like that first one did too!
Brass Balls to step back into the plate after that. I for sure couldn't do it.
k'd him

nicely done jonny

Lol

Jim Powell just said Venters has been suspended for 65 games due to that.

he looked foolish.

how’d you look after taking chin music like that?

i'd take it like a man, shake it off, then take my base.
Haha no you wouldn't

You’d be carted off on a stretcher while Diory Hernandez is stretching out his creamy hamstrings on first base.

mmhrmrmrmmm

Hey there young fella! You want some popcicles?

Jonny is a beast!

Saito warming up

idk how I feel about that.

wags not available?
I dunno..

maybe they were just getting him ready in case Venters started having control issues

c´mon throw strikes
Next in the Bourn series

The Bourn Failure

I see what ya did there.

His body language sucks

If his body could speak, I’d want to kick his ass for all its whining.

haha

c´mon 1 more striek
3 more outs fellas...hang in there
oh man i thought gonzo was gonna crap that
nicely done Venters
we need 1 more RUN
good job working around the walk JV

3 outs to go… some insurance would be nice

Nice hold Venters
I just wish

we didnt have to use him so damn much. How many 1 run games would the rest of the BP have given up in his place though… we owe him our record.

insurance runs please

do we have the stat for how many Overflow threads we’ve had so far this season?

24.

i really don’t know. Thats my lucky number

wayyyyyyyyyyy more than that

Almost every game, iirc
IIRC?

what’s that?

if I recall

i thought it was if i remember correctly, iirc.

i'd accept that

or “Recollect”

JOHNNY VENTERS

IS A FUCKING STUD!!

PLEASE get an insurance run....

Wagner will be facing the heart of the order, all of them righties.

why is there a flagpole on the hill in center field?

why is there are hill in center field?

Why is the hill 570ft away?

“The flag pole you see that’s in the grass IS considered in fair grounds. If a ball hits off of it, no matter how high up, and stays in the park, it’s not a home run.”

Venters

next years closer looks real good

Better pinch hit Hinske for Glaus

And/or Mac for Ross....

I hate when they refer to a pitcher as a “hurler”. That sounds gross.

Unless their first name is Ralph.

Venter ROY

he’s an everyday player, right?

i hate this ballpark

i feel like whenever a ball seems like a fluff ball it’s heading over the wall…but these rocket shots end up being routine outs

It reminds me too much of the '05 NLDS

and when I think about that I want to cry a little

Really wouldn’t mind an insurance run…

JIC

Wow 3-0 popouts...sexy
i really dislike hunter pence too...man this guy is annoying
damn it Troy

swing on 3-0 count WTF

Come on Ross - another RUN would make me breathe a little easier.
glaus doesn't want to run the bases

that was intentional

So much for insurance runz..

Let’s go B Wags

No Hinske or Mac....

….wtf?

Ross needs to get on

So Conrad can hit moar 9th inning DINGERZ.

ok

that was fast….

cue Enter Sandman
...here we go

bottom of the 9th…let’s get out of here with a series win

LETS GO WAGS!!
HERE WE GO, GALAXY, HERE WE GO!
i guess...

they all have to do something at 5 i think….

1 run lead

ugh i have a bad feeling about this

Alright, we need to WINZ this

I thought I told you

that we wont stop

Please be the sharp Wagner today.
and if can be the sharp wags that hits 99, even better
and if can be the sharp wags that hits 99, even better
remember when...

we didn’t know how to win a 1-run game? something like…38 straight losses?

38?

i think you mean 79 straight losses

not a good time to point out that fact..
it's a perfect time.

it’s the reverse jinx.

let’s not mention that ever again…

Random Question

If DeJesus didnt get himself injured, do you think we would have went after him instead of Ankiel?

maybe

wasnt his asking price really high though

3 righties....

damn it

Hoping for good Wagner

Hopefully we get good Billy today like last night

impressiveERAs.com

lets go wags

PFX on gameday

what does it mean?

break, etc.
wouldn't BRK mean break?
probably.

haven’t looked in a while.

Wow...

another BS hit…

ugh...shitty start

how many of those slow rollers have there been tonight

Chalk that up on the bloop board
F THE ASTROS

AND THEIR BS HITS

Our problem this whole dang series: We hit the ball too hard.

These little POS hits are frustrating!

GULP

Big Gulp.

Alright… Welp… CYA LATER.

what was it?

I wanna know what happened, gamecast sucks at infield hits

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

here we go again...blowing it in the 9th
is more frustrating when u are at work, not watching and wanting to curse...
no no no no

dont do this to me

WOW... so he cant win one run games
why the fuck is brooks playing deep?
i guess b/c of how hard the ball has beeen bouncing off in front of the plate
Wags is throwing them over the plate. ugh

Throw actually HIT the running Pence.

that makes him out doesn't it?
that should be an out

if it was my choice

Baseball should be more like kickball
Damn

Then I’d have saved about 7 games in my softball league a few years back

It would certainly make things entertaining...

imagine Brandon Phillips with Yadier Molina on 1st and Rasmus hitting an easy vidro.

Life should be more like kickball
this is getting

rigoddamdiculous

So did we hit Hanson in the 7th just to pull him right after?
he pitched the bottom of the 7th
thanks....

I was following on yahoo (who picture Wags with a Mets hat by the way).

I;M HERE!!

with a win

OUTS OUTS OUTS OUTS OUTS

WTF

Does Houston have good looking hookers? Because someone’s going to owe Tommy.

need a K right here
SIT HIM THE F DOWN HERE WAGS
should've put in saito with the righties
Wags needs to get pissed

And start pitching pissed too

strikeout here wags...we need a strikeout bigtime

OUTS OUTS OUTS OUTS

ugh Tommy

gets KKd

WOW WAGS YOURE FUCKING AWESOME
FUCK ARE YOU KIDDING

HOW MANY TIMES CAN TOMMY GET FUCKED IN THE 9TH

:( poor tommy

another blown save, just great
Wags fails once again
How can a game

Go south so fast

im at work

what happened….???

you dont wanna know

tommy screwed out of another win..

Photobucket

7 BLOWN SAVES!!!!!!!
i think thats 5 since the allstart break too...
flashback to last year
Wow, a fly ball to right with a man on 3rd. Imagine that.

What is up with Wags? It’s seems he’s another person after the AS break.

another Blown Save
I feel so bad for Tommy.
the 2 infield hits are their 2 runs

what BS

all started on a dribbler

What the fuck does Tommy Hanson have to do to get a win?

leave via free agency

is kolb o reistma pitching for us again

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!

B-Wags

can’t pitch on consecutive nights. EVER. Now we know.

He wants the Wins

Greedy bastard

What a f*cking joke. Houston has hit TWO (2) hard balls this entire series

they haven’t scored an m-effing legitimate run the entire 3 games…this has been an absolute joke, you are playing a AAAA team, and they fungo ball you to death…so, so frustrating, these 3 days have been like a Twilight Zone episode…

i hate to bring it up

but had we brought home ross on his leadoff double…we wouldn’t be in this situation right now

Tommy has the right to kick every braves player except chipper

hey, any word on chipper?
he just broke his hand punching the wall

boy, Wagner what is happening to you!?

He goes 7 strong, knocks in the go-ahead RBI

and they shit on his head

Trolls are out now

Hey guys….guess its a bad time to ask how y’all are doing…

Tommy Hanson cant win even doing all today.

Got RBI single. Pitched fantastic game

Pardon my french

But why the fuck do so many of you seem to appear out of nowhere when things only go poorly?

this.

return to the 8th level of hell, please

I just logged in

because I just started watching. I’m at work.

thanks for the clarification.
Do you guys have new user stats?

I’m convinced there are like 1000 people I don’t recognize that just log on to bitch

pretty sure they do

but just check out their profile and look @ when they joined.

This

They just jump on here to Vent, Jeez

ppl love to be negative
You never know when the zookeepers will open the Troll Cave.

The Internet was created for negativity...

and porn….

Mostly porn.

Already banned one troll
which one?
I don't talk about it

But showing up just to bitch is a great example of how to get yourself 86’d

umm…what just happened?

Lee

steals 2nd great

Wow, Fatass, no-nothing piece of shit just stole a base
maybe

we should have venters or saito close some games. Not that wags is bad, but just to take some strain off of him day in and day out

Errors and Blown Saves

Have cost us atleast 5 games after all-star break. This is ridiculous Billy should not get ball on back to back nights anymore

it was an infield hit that screwed him

stfu.

After

U suck my tool I will stfu.

Wow... you said...

That

gonna get banned from another huh spitter?

I guess formerlyknowna can join here too.

Say what

Dude stay away from me with your all-day ignorace. You guys like to say un-called for things then hide your hands like little girls.

I bet you won't last longer here than you did on Peachtree hoops
Bet u

want make any more intelligent comments than you do over there either. Josh Smith for C, you should be banned for something that un-intelligent

I'm intelligent enough to know the difference...

between want and won’t. And don’t you think he should be a SF? Yeah, I’m the unintelligent one between the two of us. Go swallow something elsewhere Truthtroll.

Swallow what?

Yeah I think he should be SF if we can get a C. Whatever I swallow I want you to swallow something worse SanTroll, how about that?

Then you've obviously never watched Josh Smith play basketball...

if you think his skills are more suited for SF than C. The only thing he lacks from the pivot is ideal size.

WOULD YOU TWO STFU AND CELEBRATE

AND YES I SAID STFU

STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
That's an okay STFU

Because we won, lmao.

Only thing he lacks from SF

Is perceived footspeed because u don’t need a jumper to play SF, but good day we won

Or a handle...

that’s pretty important too, especially if you lack the jumper. You can play SF with a good outside shot and no handle (see Courtney Lee, Kyle Korver, etc), or a good handle and no outside shot (see Andre Iguodola, etc), but not without both. Josh lacks both offensively, and the lateral quickness defensively. He’s got the game of a C, that is pretty obvious, if just not the size or toughness for it.

You should really apologize for that inappropriate remark
And

he should apologize for telling me to stfu, that was the inappropiate remark that started it if you are talking about inappropiate things

Okay

You have the right to defend yourself when provoked, but keep in mind that people throw "stfu"s around like candy when shit goes bad. Just don’t fight back with fellating remarks.

I see u typing

But just because you are okay with someone saying stfu, does not mean it should be thrown around and giving any more leadway than anything else. That’s the problem with people trying to be fair, what offends one, is okay with another and vice versa, but I am now happy as we should win this one 4-2 baby

Yes, it is a bit of a double standard

But such is the case of promoting a community and the familiarity of what develops in a community. Not saying newcomers should sit back and defer to the rest of the community, but at least take the time to sit back and observe, instead of throwing around inflammatory remarks that will likely draw you the ire of others.

But yes, Heap slammed, everyone’s happy.

u mad?
Mad at what?

Just stating an opinion, errors and blown saves have cost atleast 5 games after all-star break.

maybe shouldnt give the ball him when we are winning with only one run
oh sweet lord...

wtf was dross doing

Our 1 HIT (by Tommy) with RISP hurting our pitchers again.

They have NO room to make a mistake. Ever.

Just get out of it wags

thank you conrad for not sucking

good play brooksie

un-fucking-believable, Brooksy.

what?

awesome play! that's what.
oh

i thought you meant >:O

Is it over yet? Walkoff time

umm

no. a walkoff would be bad.

please no walkoffs

heyward could hit a walkoff on the road…

this

Let's get em in the 10th!
conrad

is singlehandedly trying to save this series

I’m here now…time for runs

i hope you're the charm

I hope so too… I was trying to follow on my phone at work

Crank up the charm power to 11 please.

BROOKS CONRAD ACTIVATE

RUNS RUNS RUNS (for teh braves)

Conrad

made that a lot harder than it had to be.

Every extra inning is just another chance for Chavez...um, sorry, I mean Farnsworth to rear his head

carreras por favor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

carrerascarrerascarrerascarrerascarreras
OK, let's get RUN(s) and then we'll not have to face the heart of their order in the 10th.
wagner has to be the unluckiest closer ever

that error game in san fran, an infield hit today
smh and plus they are only 1 run saves so he doesnt have much marginal for errors

i know we're in a pennant race...

but come on people. Wagner’s ERA is still only 1.78 and you want a different closer. You have to be kidding me!? He is still the best pitcher in the bullpen IMO. It has been these damn rick flairs (whooooo) that are killing us.

haha...nice comic relief there with the (whooo)
we haven't been particularly good in extra innings have we? anyone have our record?
Let's go Braves!!! Donald Rumsfeld commands it!
Well there goes our last chance haha
how many times we had lost after ASG when defense or Wagner is sucking
pretty much all our Ls

Every loss I’d say

wagner has pitched a lot lately
Rick Ankiel is quite a prolific strikeout machine, would be nice to see him go yard

with that haymaker swing he’d probably go yard with good contact.

okay ankiel...time to redeem yourself for all your ass-sucking of late
It's obviously never going to happen

but would be awesome if they amended the rules for getting a W to scorer’s discretion about which pitcher pitched most effectively, as they sometimes do with relievers now. that way, if something like this happened, and the braves won in extra innings, hanson could still be credited.

this would also increase the meaning of a W somewhat, even if it doesn’t compensate for lousy run support.

pipe dream, but still nice to think about.

still waiting for ankiel to hit that 500 ft. bomb….

Fox just flashed the extra innings records for both teams.

Depressing. :(

UGLY swing...

c’mon socks

Did venters pitch yesterday

I dont’ recall, didn’t see the game.

there was a game yesterday so yes
man

can someone tell bobby that the kid needs a break. I’m glad he is pitching well, but there are other relievers available…

yes, but

he only threw 6 pitches. Still had to warm up of course

somebody tell wagner to stop sucking

shut up

as bad as that inning was...

he fooled pence, made his only mistake with lee, then got the final three outs. the unlucky leadoff hit changed the whole inning. im not ready to hang wagner yet

still a wagner fan

Houston has 2 hard hit balls all series, it is a total f*cking joke

Poor guy (and a lot of our bullpen) has had to pitch a LOT lately with absolutely no room to make a mistake.

its mostly our piss poor d as of late

im sure that doesnt help a closers mental health on the mound

atta boy Ricky!

walkz!

HINSKE WE TRUST
lol

ankiel walks

ANKIEL WALK

WOOOOOOOOAH

all right

here we go. lets do this

Ankeil is a walk machine w/o any hits or defense... reminds me of someone earlier....hmmm not sure who...
Hinske bomb would be nice
if Lee can steal second

so can ankiel

it surprises me that during this power surge that our offense is having...we've played awful baseball
At least Dan Kolb and Bob Wickman aren't closing for us.
Never say those names again. Esp. the first one.

nice walk by Ankiel

Really liking Ankiel working that count....
come on fatty!!
Still Wondering

Why they brought Billy in the face all righties in a one run game…..unbelievable

He's the closer?

hes the closer! he works the 9th!

Looks like that worked out

I realize he’s the closer, but he has been horrible on consecutive days, and facing ALL right handed hitters, is there no strategy when it comes to the 9th? Or is it just a given that the closer HAS to pitch the 9th if it’s 3 runs or less??

got a 2-run bomb in ya?
ah yes!!!

finally some luck

seriously

not accustomed to something going our way

aaaaaaaand that happened

well they matched our run-down gaffe earlier. hooray!

wow…ankiel was picked off…got lucky

ankiel doesn't seeem to be very good on the bases

ankiel doesn’t seeem to be very good on the bases at baseball

FTFY lol

haha Ill take it
nice

some luck coming our way

Ankiel is an adventure on the basepaths

to say the least

what?? An error that wasn't commited by the Braves????

what is this?

Damn, we finaly catch a break, Ankiel was DEAD at first
woooooo braves-esque breakdown for the 'Stros

LOL

OR NOT

LETS GO INFANTE!

stole second?
attempted pick off by the catcher got by into the outfield
no he actually got picked off... or at leat i'm 90% sure he would have been out

but the ball went into the outfield

IMHOTEP LET'S DO IT!!!
im thinking this is gonna go against the stros

omar is gonna auto-single, don’t they know this?

Omar is due. hasn't had a hit in 18 hours.
TIME FOR OMAR ALL-STARTE
All-Star AUTOsingle must make them pay
come on OMAH!!!

Patience Omar, make him throw strikes.

Man...

I wish ESPN Gamecast was a bit faster than this.

I'm sure Omar still has some late inning heroics left in him somewhere!
must be going for the double play

lets hope he has a hit in him.

does bobby PH jhey for melky?

ALLSTARALLSTAR

lets not have the RISP fail plz

come on u infant!!!

omg i wanted that homer
ommaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
OMAR!!!

oh man i thought that was gone

damn........ just missed
hell yea Infante!!!!!
HELL YEAH!!!!!!
OMAR

ALL STAR

Jeez, even when we hit the ball we get no luck
ROBBED OF A HOMER BUT WOOO!!!!
Roy...

sorry if I went over the line, and as great as you guys do with this place I wouldn’t want to tell you how to run it. Was just expressing my thoughts that it seems y’all are a bit too nice with obvious trolls.

Personally

I prefer to let things run their course, and I suppose I am more lenient than others, but when I warn/ban, you typically know it’s from me.

Fair enough...

you know I respect what you do around here, just let my $0.02 loose, and when I noticed it got deleted wanted to make sure you knew I was just running my mouth and not intending to tell you how to run this place (which as said above, I think you and the rest do a generally great job with).

I HATE THIS BALLPARK!

called it.

just sayin’

wooooo suck it haterz
just put it in play melky...

lets get some insurance

GOD DANG!

SO CLOSE! LETS GET MORE!

OMAR!!!

I see you are doing these again this year

very nice.

lol ankiel is so bad at basrunning
this...he is awful
i thought it was a HR too...
HE SCORED

WHO CARES

thats why I laughed and not rabble rabble rabble ankiel sucks

there we go!! Double to left and ankiel scores
Yes, loved the double

Ankiel slowfootin’ all the way home. LOL

Saito next inning?
i'd be surprised if it's wags again
omaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
am i the first to use RAMO?
OMAR INFANTE

THE LYON TAMER!!!

omg this team sux fire wagner DFA ankiel etc etc.

You know who else sux?

bring in saito or moylan?
saito was the only one warm;ing up
so does this mean billy gets the win

God willing

take that..

progenitor fornicators…..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All Star SS from the Atlanta Braves

OMAAAAAAAR INFANTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

melkys

about to bring the pain

get the insurance

who says he doesn’t deserve to be an all-star?

Half of TC, back then...
astros R smert

load the bases! braves won’t score! esp with agon at the plate!

MAKE THEM PAY AGON

he got a sack fly the other night w/ bases loaded
Astros just gonna throw around the bases now...
walking Melky?

INTENTIONALLY?!?!!??!!?

hit it in the air gonzo!
haha..it's kidna funny

but melky has been IBB a number of times this year

how many were

not to face the pitcher, though?

most of them were...

its still funny though

billy likes to screw the games to get the win

No one believes that. Nor should they.

Fly ball Alex – at least.

IBB for MVP

I can’t believe how many times this has happened already this year

ALRIGHT SEABASS MAKE EVERYBODY STFU

PH heyward for agon and put him in at SS in the bottom of the inning :O

I'd walk an MVP too
ankiel runs like Francoeur

did anyone else notice that?

how he swings his arms in a rediculous manner?

and runs, bow-legged like. like they are in some weird sort of home run trot even when they are running

one of those bloopers for us would be nice to throw it in their face.
damn it we need Brooks up

the bases are loaded

Lyons

is more comfortable with the righty.

WAHOOO SEABASS!!
SEABASS IS SWIMMIN!!
someone get gonzo a "fuck all you haters" pic
Literally, my cable just went out, unbelieveable
catwalk fell on top of lyon while fielding groundball

RBI single

Why has Houston left him out there?
Sea Bassssssssssssssssssss
still bases loaded
AHHHHH

STOP SCREWING UP OUR RISP NUMBERS

Way to hit Alex
haven't produce in the last hour at work...

oh the bravos…

what just happened??

IN SOVIET RUSSIA SEA BASS FISHES FOR YOU!

Back to back hits with RISP!!

I love it!!!!

1-5. Key hit at a great time
im really starting

to think wags does it on purpose….

he want's WINZ for himself!

he just wants to bring out the best in everyone else

Yeah right,

he loves blowing saves:(

Now, just make the routine plays in the Bottom of the inning, please
I LOVE THIS TEAM.

It’s like the most awesome roller coaster ride ever!

lol

If they haven’t done so, they should place Days of Thunder with the 2010 Atlanta Braves at kings dominion

I LOVE THIS TEAM

Don't mean to sound greedy - but I want MORE.
you and me both...
this...i want a 6 run 10th

An extra run never hurt anyone.

TWSS

only because someone will say it eventually

someone post the boner picture please, because I’m sure we all have one atm.

even the girls? yes, even the girls.

cmon

BMAC!!!!!!

woooo BMAC
wow it's hilarious to be in this thread during the game

everyone is so bi polar. I actually feel normal now :)

bmac!!!!

our savior w/ bases loaded (besides conrad)

like I said last night

there is no reason to watch the first 3/4 of Braves games. Much like basketball, just show up for the last 1/4 and catch all the dramatics

YYYYYEYEEEESSSSSSSS

Where the haters, now?

Go back to your cave.

UNREAL

Whats the record for most grand slams by a player?

Gehrig has like 25 i think

I think Valentine for the yanks had like 15 or so.

23, lou gehrig

now this looks like a first place team
BILLY WAGNER SAYS

ARENT YOU GLAD I BLEW THAT SAVE :D

Yes Yes

Win Win, game over, now I hate to be a hater but let’s route for Florida tonite. Good day people

I said Bobby would bring in mac for a clutch hit

and he did!

BMAC!!! (our 5th this year!)


May I say how beautiful these are (all 5 of them) since we didn’t even have 1 all last year.

how many have been this year...??
2 by conrad...2 by mac...1 by prado

i think 5 right?

That's after not hitting one like... the last two years...

NCChopper is so awesome that she answers your question before you even ask it.

That's awesome.
glaus has hit everything hard
yeah he hasn't looked half bad
frenchy says

WHAT A RALLY KILLER

Bring Hanson back in.

Let him get a hold or something at least.

pff, Mac, what a shame, rally killer
aw

poor glaus. he keeps making good contact right at out fielders

Excuse me

but where did all the trolls go?

BMac crushed their souls along with that ball!
back under the bridge

below is your troll

someone has to man the bridge

buried under the HEAP!

[DIRECTED BY M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN]

rabble rabble rabble

troy sucks…

HARUMPH HARUMPH HARUMPH

Glausosaur ate them

BRAVES SUCK

OMG THEY NEED NEW PLAYERS.
TRADING FOR GONZALEZ WAS A MISTAKE
OMAR DOESNT DESERVE TO BE AN ALL STAR
WE CANT HIT WITH RISP
NO POWER ON THIS TEAM

cut the whole team

forgot..

WAGNER SUX…!!!!
GLAUS SUX…!!!!!
CHIPPER IS OLD…!!!
MCLOUTH SUX…(ohh wait that one is true)

Today's line-up sux

we can’t score with no one on the bench today, blah, blah

OMG COCKS IS HORRIBLE!!
Look at the Big smile by Big Mac.

i feel like everyone is going to hit a HR now

And Troy Glaus does his best......

Troy Glaus impression

I feel for him. He's old but that's no excuse for Cox playing him all the time.

At least platoon Glaus and Freeman

WOW

talk about a roller coaster

ok so

who plays LF?

move Melky to left, put Heyward on right
back to back to back hits with RISP...

awesome inning!

who's playing LF? Hinske?
Infante, Hernandez to SS
I bet

Wagner blew the save so we could add to our league leading HR totals since ASB.

BATAROUND

28 years of braves baseball...

and still i get pissed and jump of joy with games like this…

brooks homer cmon
only a double? come on david ross. really? you couldn't homer in that spot?
i know right geezz
Let's go Conrad!!! Old Rummy commands it!
just to think

this all started on an ankiel walk, who woulda figured?

and him almost getting picked off

That could be the surprise stat of the day :-)

Strikezone has been expanded a little..

Ump: Alright guys, time to get out of here

alright saito u got this
3 PH GS this year. what is the record?

everyone knows that was a pity strikeout.

Brooks sux

NOT CLUTCH

shouldve been Diory
he never should have made the team out of ST

Clutch Thurston FTW!?!?!!?

OMG Brooks. We need chipper.

brooks makes two outs in the inning

clutch meter
|-X—————————————————————-|

well folks

i gotta go…peace

im actually nervous til we get the last out

cuz last time we failed to get ross in after he doubled…

Lets just not pull a Reds. And… well… all the shit they’ve done.

exactly what i was thinking
think 6 runs is a big enough lead for Farnsworth in Houston?
i didnt know farnsworth was asian
I was just throwing out a hypothetical

BROOKSY SUX PUT CHIPPER IN A WHEELCHAIR AND PLAY HIM HES WAAAY BETTAR

lol, great mental image

CHIPPER IS SUPER CLUTCH

AND HE MADE A ESPN WEBGEMS LAST NIGHT

the toll troll calls back his minions

You gotta pay the troll toll if you wanna get into this boy's hole... soul
Saito

gonna do it big right here

Oh god...

Chipper makes that play.

Rabble. But seriously. Saito. You got some wiggle room. But shut it down.

omg please not now
that was an E5?? really?
we lead the league in errors now
have to hit our quota
chipper could have done that with one leg
Damn it not again
Error!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF
its ok

we don’t have 3 errors yet, gotta meet to quota

god isnt this cruel

we are not gonna blow this game

Good thing we got a sizable lead

by my calculations, the Astros need 10 consecutive dribbling infield hits to walk off on us.

O NOEZ

WE GONNA DIE

this team has me up and down, are ya gonna suck or be awesome, PICK ONE! (please pick be awesome)

so glad they r going back to tuner field

4-11

I love you Rainbow Llamasaurus.

May we see you many times in October.

THE STARS AT NIGHT ARE BIG AND BRIGHT DEEP IN THE HEART OF RAINBOW LLAMASAURUS

This game deserved a double helping of Rainbow Llamasaurus!

nice a double dip of rainbow llamasaurus

DOUBLE RAINBOW LLAMA

llamasaurus make my day…

Man

I was thinking to myself about how silly it was to start a new thread in the 8th inning, but , you know what, nevermind, it’s NCChopper’s fault for requesting it, because I bet if we stayed lagged up in the first one, we’d have ended it in the 9th.

Yeah yeah yeah. Me and Wagner are in cahoots.

You sly little minx, you
you know what, nevermind, it’s NCChopper’s fault for requesting it,

lol

Dangit. Wagner and I.
(hate grammar fail)

Kershaw > Oswalt

isn’t Oswalt complaining about having a dead arm

Hopefully, how awesome would that be!

got oswalt on my fantasy team, but i hope he get’s rocked tonight…go Dodgers!!

3 game lead guys!!
Nice series win

slowly creeping toward a .500 road record

hope for some chipper Chipper news tomorrow

That's 6 of the last 8... for anybody keeping count :D
Can we trade Melky for Willie Harris?

wagner almost has as many winz as Hanson, DFA

WE NEED TO BRING RYAN KLESKO OUT OF RETIREMENT THEN WE WIN ERRTHING!!!

Where's the Victory Cookie?
Another cardiac-arrest inducing win...

Hope the Dodgers can win one before we sweep ’em :-)

I think this is the first time all year we’ve been 18 games above .500. I wonder when the last season was that this has happened?

probably 2005
2005

topped out at 23 games over .500

can we give some wins to our starting pitchers?

Minor got ND, JJ got ND, Tommy got ND
