Talking Chop

BLEH

Not been a very good offensive day, aside from Infante. Some poor swings, no one is going up there with a gameplan in mind and they are really looking bad

murph35 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh Chip!!!

He just said, “Root, Root, Root for the BRAVOS!!!” during the song

He just said

“So lets root root root for the Bravos, if they dont’ win it’s a shame”

The Cubs fans were not impressed"

yes!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

They had better show chip singing when they come back or I'll pop a cap in someone's ass

Over/under Ventors gives up 3 this inning

I will take over. I just have a bad feeling about this whole game. Atleast we will still be 1.5 games ahead after tonite

go suck a fat one!

you can't even spell his name right

shut up.

I say he has a 1-2-3 inning

but that is just me, I guess I have more confidence in this team than you do

I say he doesn't even pitch this inning

i say he doesnt pitch

go cry for hassan whiteside

what?

What about Whiteside?

I mean, he’ll be on the Kings in a few years when we win a Championship…but yeah.

Tyreke... that guy is hell good!

did he go in the draft this year?

To the Kings baby. We got him in the 2nd round….total steal.

Yes

Anyone that knows basketball knows Whiteside was a total steal. Sanchez is a joke. He does not know any sport. He is just here because he likes to type

And you think you know basketball better than Monty Williams

Certainly

No everything about life better than you. You are as lost as Rick Sund

Because Ventors is going to give up 3 runs last inning?

welp Sac-Town still sucks so...

maybe you’ll be good in a few but not now for sure

Yeah, it would be nice if we had the League working for us like the Lakers do…..

They got a nice start...

Evans and a lot of talented young bigs (Casspi, Cousins, Landry, Thompson, Whiteside). If they hit on 2 or 3 of those kids pan out to go with Evans, that’s pretty solid. Still need some perimeter players to go with Evans, but the front line certainly has promise.

My Jazz are gonna shit all over everyone this year

they have potential

Best PG in NBA

awesome PF picked up and Hayward is gonna be sick with us…

plus we played the Lakers hard w/o AK-47 and Okur

Shouldn't have given up Brewer

yeah, the Jazz would give us problems

If we had AK-47 the whole series to guard Kobe we would've stood a chance

im feeling really good about this team

yeah

all games were pretty close.

if we won game 3 it would've been close

the game when D-Will barely missed the buzzer beater

wow

that barely missed buzzer beater and then I think it was Matthews BARELY missed the tip in. I thought that game was going to be a win for the jazz.

YA

im upset we lost Matthews to FA

agreed

I think he will be a good player this year, he always helped on the Jazz, had that 18 foot jumper that didn’t miss and some 3s, plus, he is very athletic

Another Jazz fan on Talking Chop? Who’dathunkit?

Spinch - August 20, 2010 reply

well...

My grandfather went to Illinois so I gew up an Illini fan and am more a huge D-Will fan

when they drafted him i became a big Jazz fan and now seeing him be awesome has really made me a big fan

I've liked the Jazz

Stockton, Malone, Hornacek (spelling?), Ostertag,.

oh please

If Venters gives up 3 taht would be impressive considering he isn't pitching

someone go turn on a light

so the cockroaches will all go back in their hiding places

well ok then

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

I wonder if he will say, " Come on Braves. Lets score some runs"

that

was.
horrible.

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

HAHA. He said Root for the Bravos.

I had even money he would say Cubbies.

hahaha

Joe is very impressed

C'mon JJ..

shutdown inning for your last inning

Chip did it!

He said Bravos instead of Cubbies. +10 Chip.

murph35 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

Joe was very impressed with him. Is Joe tone deaf ?

apparently

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

EOF WARMING UP!

Seriously?

I like the guy, but he doesn’t need to make his return late in a 1-run game on the road….

No kidding.

He's been dominating in his rehab

I think he’ll be fine

for being hated on, JJ

has lasted 7 innings, which is very good.. solid outing

bottom of the inning for the Bravos:

Conrad (hopefully), Infante, and JHEY!

damn I mean top of the 8th inning.

WTF was the Braves doing in the 7th

fastball straight to the middle. Dont swing
changup, slider to dirt. Swing

Who´s fault?

TP

JJ has pitched just fine. Unfortunately, our offense is playing like we usually do.

i insist...

we’re on the road….

Glad that was just Dempster.

That one was scary..

I don’t like seeing long fly balls in the park.. (when the cubs are hitting)

So....

would any of you be interested in a Talking Chop Fantasy Football League? A simple yes or no works.

yes

i will rule you

Go Colts

I only watch baseball

yes

Si senor

*señor

sure

Now, yes, but 5 weeks into the season I will stop caring and abandon it.

Ha! that’s what i did with my fantasy baseball team

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

I love Fantasy sports

but Fantasy Baseball sucks so bad

ahh..fantasy baseball is my fave one…

yea

its just so much micro managing and home and away splits and so many other things i played once and i ended up 3rd in my league but its such a hassle

i know...

i get bored with fantasy football cuz its once a week, so i am not that active…lol
plus i know all the players more on fantasy baseball…
i have a policy of not owning phillies or mets players, and i have lost in the final the last two years…lol

agreed. I played once (this year) and I don’t like it

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

sure

no

i would but im in too many leagues right now

yes

Go Vikes, although i’m tired of the Favre saga

Heyward is going to hit a walkoff 3 run bomb in the top of the 8th

think about that for a minute

so wrong

5 run bomb

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

damn

how did I forget about the ghost men on 3rd and 4th base?

No

You forgot a home run still scores Glaus off the DL.

how could I have missed that

fail fail fail

lol…Is that Wagner with the glove to protect the pen?

Top of the 8th

Brooksy, Infante, Heyward. I like. Brooksy can crush when he’s hitting LH. HITZ!!!!!!

murph35 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

yes, go broncos!

It doesn't matter how bad the team we're playing, if we're on the road we just don't play well.

Melkman fail

WTF MELKY

WTF MVP???

LOLMelky again

Oh my god Melky.

Oh Melky

Good grief.

good backup socks!

Great job Ankiel

really?? really?

LOLMELKY

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

Melky is sucking today (LVP)

i mean...

he’s proven his defensive “prowess” several times this year..

WTF happened MVP?

I think b/c the wall curves right there it threw him off..

He didn’t know how close to the wall he was

"nondrafted" free agent....

was starlin castro draft eligible?

International signing.

Chip said either

non drafted or undrafted

dont lose that one Melky

Melky just pump faked the fans out in the bleachers!!!

LOL

LOL @ Gondeee

if Derrek Lee’s nickname is D-Lee, doesn’t that make Kosuke Fukudome’s nickname K-Fuk?

That’s what we said when FYF was up. K-Fuk!

AHAHAHA

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

Fuk u do me

RUNS RUNS RUNS

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

C'mon O

get us some runs

time to runs

puntospuntospuntospuntos!!

actually isn't it

carreras carreras carreras?

i think we need a manager that understands that the more times a pitcher goes through the order the more he regresses.

Bobby's new to the game, give him time...

Why, because the Cubs scored once the first time through the order, once the second time through the order and once the third time through the order??

-C

no,the pitcher gets more tired every time through the order and the hitters get more used to the pitcher

The pitcher gets more tired??

Wow, this is fascinating stuff. Please tell me more.

-C

Conrad

will save us again

2 run homer

with no one on?

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

I hope we don't see non-THROWPITCHER FARNSWORTH KYLE TODAY

This

Cubs so confident in our inability to come back – no one warming for Dempster?

Saito is up

nice

ugh

we all know what that didnt work because Brooks is only clutch in the clutches of clutches situations

Wind hates us

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

sad

lackluster performance again

yeah we suck that’s why we’re in first

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

You've made your point.

LOL

Ryan Dempster is tearing us apart today.

No hit since the 4th – come on Omar – we need ya again.

so sad

Jesus come on guys.

Man..

why are we singing at complete garbage..

3 straight sliders

Take strike take strike swing ball

Explosive, ok – but that doesn’t mean we have to swing at pitches that never see the plate.

so

all Dempster has to throw is a slider away in the dirt

This offense is awfully boring to watch at times.

Someone holding a gun to your head making you watch the game?

103 pithces for Dempster

I appear....

I didn’t realize it was an afternoon game…..on a Friday….

Ah, Wrigley.

we can win now

Well you know we were playing the Cubs, and they have a ton of day games.

me neither!

this is all your fault >:(

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

:(

Don’t feel so bad though, I overslept and missed a lot of yesterday’s game.

Stupid Cubs and their day games

nice offense so far I see

have the braves

won the first game of a series on the road…??/ i wonder what are those numbers…..

By the 8th inning, you would think we would have figured out his plan..away, away, away . We don’t adjust, we just keep on letting him pitch HIS game.

….f…iiii…gu….uuuu….rrrrrr….re……ouu…t?

:-)

That's outside.

Get back behind the plate bitch.

Hey look...

Heyward with another ball slammed into the ground..

lame

rolled over on the pitch outside

gotta take that one to left-center

Heyward

Fails again. Man, he has the 2nd worst average in todays lineup, he belongs down there with Ankiel in the 6 or 7 range. How much longer are we going to give outs away from the 2 hole?

SHUT THE FUCK UP!

troll

Can we just ban this guy please!!!

troll

walks are not outs

and he’s still drawing a fair amount of ’em.

kswissreject - August 20, 2010 reply

troll

Check that

D. Lee’s average is lower, the 3rd worst. .254 and dropping like its hot.

AVERAGE!

…….are you trash talking the performance of a guy after less than one game with the Braves?

you are a loser...if we were winning you wouldn't be bithing

this AGAIN?

We hear you. Heyward sucks, bench him.

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

troll

Nah

Slide him down in the batting order. I am just saying what everyone else is sayin today if u didnt notice.

DON"T FEED THE TROLL

and he will go away

Don't

alright

I won’t say anything else to him

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

It's not just you.....

We are "going to give outs away from the 2 hole"

all the way into November, when we win the WS

NOW STFU

troll

troll

meh.

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

HANGING SLIDER!

and he grounds it to second…thats plain awful

Well, on the bright side.......Prado, Lee, and McCann in the 9th.....

….if we can hold them here. 3 patient hitters…. Marmol can let a game get out of control very fast….

Sounds like the recipe for a comeback…..maybe Lee can be the hero?

i'm thinkin prado walk Lee HR

That’s exactly the scenario I thought of when I typed that.

haha

uh huh, take all the credit why don’t you

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

1 out of 2

ha, that’d be great

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

what a shock…. Chipper sees something to tweak in Heyward’s swing and TP disagrees.

can we make Chipper the hitting coach while he recovers?

Face it

This is a loss and Moreland sucks bad

How many last at bat victories?

21 and counting

Ok that ends that argument

if we were winnign you wouldn't be bitching

go away you’re a 30 year old virgin deal with it

Who the F is moreland?

think he meant Moylan

Ok

Not watching the game. I thought he was talking about someone for the Cubs.

He also called Venters “Ventors”

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

Maybe he's referencing

“Moreland Avenue” where street racers gather on the southern side of Atlanta?

Leave then...

Let's just hope it's the good Moylan today.

It was the good Moylan! Yay!

Why the Braves are swinging all those balls in the dirt

but when he threw fastball in the middle, they didnt swing

all part of the master plan

I just realized that Wrigley field has some odd dimensions....

hahahaha

You guys can complain about the offense all you want....

….while I tip my cap to Dempster. He’s got a nasty slider and he threw a great game. Why isn’t the opposing pitcher ever credited when they shutdown the Braves?

because it happens every single time we r away, so maybe that says something…

Because, by virtue of being OPPOSING pitchers, they’re not wearing Atlanta Braves uniforms. Therefore, no performance based credit can be awarded. It’s in the rules.

No I agree, dude’s been sick… thee are still some complaints about the offense though, some ugly swings today

he had his great stuff working today

but as usual, we make NO adjustments

It’s one thing when Randy Johnson is blowing inside fastballs by you. Tip your cap and chalk up a loss. But we seem to get worse against pitchers who we should be improving against as the game progresses.

are we winning in the ninth?

so to win this game

JJ had to only allow 1 run or less. That is harsh

RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS

SNUR SNUR SNUR SNUR SNUR SNUR SNUR SNUR SNUR SNUR

quit udoing the magic

just trying something different for once

c´mon Braves

we need to win this game or we will need a great favor from Marquis

Lee can win one for his new team here.

If we can get a man on in front of him.
I’d like to request that happen.

I already put that request in about 50 comments above.

Well, we got the baserunner….

what about D-Lee HR

let’s go bravos..let’s go!!!

RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS

HITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITS

LETS GO PRADO!!!!

At least tie it.....

I REALLY don’t want to see Marmol flip out like it’s a playoff game…..

I hate that... Marmol, K-Rod, sometimes Papelbon and Valverde

David Ross is 3-3 against Marmol

with 2 HRs

What kind of pitch was that strike?

alright Cubbies, you've had your fun

this game means nothing for y’all, so we’re gonna need you to go ahead and have Marmol walk 6 in the 9th

RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

So he’s a speed gun watcher…

haha sounds like a pseudo western quote

I like baserunner!

alrighttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

Prayyyyyyyyyyyydo leadoff walk

haha Prado

didnt even think that was a walk

Prado

prado walks

Good start, nice patience

WE HAVE THE WALK!!!

The first part of the prophecy has been fulfilled….

The prophecy did not come to pass.... :(

Lets go DLee!!

Is this the same Cubs team taht just got swept by the Padres ?

that was a very ugly debut from DLEE

oh well gettem tommorow DLEE

Why are they cheering?

They haven’t won a WS in 102 years. There’s nothing to cheer about.

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

ZING!

106?

nope 102, 1908 was their last WS

it's not 2014 yet

It was 1908…

it will one day be 106 though haha

it will one day be ~~106~~ 206 though haha

FTFY

have to cheer the little things

dont swing stupiddddddddd

Let's chill...

It was DLee’s first game in very awkward circumstances…

Jman781 - August 20, 2010 reply

Those same awkward circumstances will exist for the next two games. I hope he gets over it by tomorrow.

i'm no doctor

but i’m pretty sure epidurals aren’t good for catching up to Marmol fastballs

we will need him healthy

come on Mac

STEAL!

Koyie Hill sucks

WHEW!!!

yes…good eye

that was close….I’ll take the walk though

BMac

pinch run for Mac?

Diory

Man..

the ump has really tightened the strikezone.. Those were close

come on gonzo...be the hero

no vidro no vidro no vidro

Mac Walks

1/3 of the way there... 4 MOAR WALKS PLZ

kick his ass Sea Bass!

Patience!

Alex been a late inning hero yet?

fangraphs win probability at 17 percent it was 25 before Dlee struck out

I dont care about fangraphs

there was one game I can clearly remember that once the fangraph win probability was at 0.1 percent, that game won the game, it happened may 20th, 2010

back to 28%

LETS GO BRAVOS

Oh man

When those internet Cubs fans hit refresh, you’ll hear a loud “WWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYY?!”

Where's that dude that called this a loss!!!!

Heard a Cubs fan… Come on Hinske!

This is the 2010 Braves! Simpley Amazing!

Simply a fail

lol….you got me. Typing too fast. So excited.

marmol being booed

Socks says “F U Haterz!”

hahahahahahaha yes

lulz.

just logged on

I’ve never seen one of those graphs change direction so hard before.

i have...

pretty much everytime conrad comes up

well then you weren't here in may 20th

you haven't seen this?

Hello all

how goes it?

look over you

Wonderfully!

NOW CLOSE THIS OUT!!!

WHAT A TIME TO GET HOME AND GET THE COMPUTER ON!!!!!!

Claaaaassic Marmol

1 IP, 3BB, 3 K.

Ok, the 3B is NOT classic, but this is exactly what the Cubs have been getting from him. Highly combustible, but always worth watching.

Almost a three true outcomes inning. If they had waved Ankiel to try and get inside the park and he got it that would have been.

(Does an inside the parker count for TTO?)

Broccoman - August 20, 2010 reply

YAY!

Dempster got Hanson’d.

+1

Hanson’d, JJ’d, and KK’d.

hinske is striking out at a terrifying rate lately...

I think he got overexposed.

I agree. Probably the most he's played in years

long as he shows up for the playoffs

Way to go Ricky....

Beyond clutch there. That’s the kid of hit that will make the difference between winning and losing the division. Huge.

letsgobravos - August 20, 2010 reply

I’m hoping he is finally starting to get on track and feel like a Brave and will do well from here on out.

I'm glad I showed up in the OT just in time for the WINZ....

Typical inning for Marmol....

3 BB, 3 runs, but strikes out the side.

Yeah.

He’s really something. No one quite like him in the rest of the league. He’s pretty great, in his own way, but oh those walks.

Please be the good Wagner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ATLBRVS_19 - August 20, 2010 reply

Haha Phillies fans are pissed

Marmol was nasty. Struck out the side.

:-p

i had no faith in Rick

man was i wrong

Hells Yes Rick

Ive never been so happy to shit myself ever

chicagobullies - August 20, 2010 reply

If u love this braves team..

give me a hell yeah!!!

hell yeah

amman106 - August 20, 2010 reply

HELL YEAH!

Lets go Wagner!

Can we please get a clean 1-2-3 inning.

deewill23 - August 20, 2010 reply

LETS GO WAGS!!

Woah, that was only 93 mph.

slider lol

Cubs are generally pretty accurate

most of the others have “hot” speed guns

Wagner only blows

Saves when Hanson is on the mound right?

Just like Bob Wickman only blows saves when Tim Hudson is on the mound?

ugh

that Giants game still haunts my dreams

pretty much

GeneParmesan - August 20, 2010 reply

Ugh.....3 straight righties up

ah shit…come on wags

Damnit Wags..

C’mon

ugh

Fuck

Enough of you...

hit him with the ban hammer!

+infinity

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

its ok to swear

but no for no reason… i only swear here when im really pissed(like at melky haha)

leadoff hit

so it wasnt for nothing

stop hatin

shut up, really. You just sound like an ass

ban the asshat!!!

you are so annoying

mister

stupid ASTROhits

god damn it

Was Wag's warming up already?

If not what happens in that case? Does he get more time to warm up?

ugh

so much for 1-2-3

for some reason really wish we had 3 runs instead of 2

Dangit Billy – now a Vidro please.

Ffffff...

Waggy, please don’t make Ankiel’s hit mean nothing. He’ll just jump into Lake Michigan and I don’t think any other OFs are available.

giving up strikes to a guy named Barwin Barney...

come on wags…you’re better than that

Darwin

He won

a championship at Oregon State. Played a big role, I think he will be good…but yeah, a rook cant hit wags damnit.

LETS GO WAGS!!

Way to prove me wrong Ricky!

DP BALL OR K CoME ON WAGS

I think the radar gun is broken

the announcers are saying a diff speed than on tv.

Again, we're used to the hot gun in Atlanta

hmmm is that why jair

had diff speeds?

I wouldn't say that it's undisputed, but it's pretty accepted that Atlanta's gun is a little fast

but that’s true at lots of parks

where are all the ankiel haters?

BravesRaleigh - August 20, 2010 reply

Still here

i still don't think he's good

but he’s played better of late…but still dont like him too much

I want Wagner to strike out the side....

…..just not the same way that Marmol struck out the side.

KKK?

I was referring to the 3 walks and 3 runs mixed in with the 3 strike outs….

you racist

ban him

he’s racist too

STFD

K!!!

Yes

true about yahoo being phillies fans…still says 3-2

+1

STFD

How long have you had that graphic for Wags?

Week or so.

This is the first time I’ve seen it. I like it.

Wagner! nice k there

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

STFD!!

yahoo

STILL says 3-2 cubs, but they’re taking their ups, jerks

So much fail…

if y'all

are playing a joke on us who dont have the game on tv, and we lost 5 minutes ago, it aint funny

No, I was pointing out Yahoo’s fail. The Braves win.

yep. the braves made 4 outs too

2 more Wags.....

Oh my goodness that sliding slurving curving ball.

How about the sliders today?

Dempster, Wags, and Marmol have 3 of the best in the game.

backwards K!!!

Holy Crap

That was right down the middle

TIED THE RECORD

record for what?

most k's-lefty reliever

Most Ks, lefty reliever

WHAT A PITCH

YOU THERE

STFD.

lol why would he take that pitch…o well…

yay for billy

STFD!!

STFD

I more out to the win!

1 more for History!

billy ties Jesse Orosco for most strikeouts by a left handed reliever!1

Take the record Wags

finish them BWags!!

this is it

Ankiel made a Conrad

Yahoo! FAIL

ChrisK562 - August 20, 2010 reply

+10000 for screenshot, -1000000000 for Yahoo stupidity

meaning Yahoo is stupid not that you are following the game that way.

I see all types of fail:

-Wagner with a Mets cap still
-Score still 2-3 Cubs
-Cubs batting in the bottom of the ninth at home WHILE WINNING

ChrisK562 - August 20, 2010 reply

seriously, Gameday isn't perfect

but it gets a lot right.

This needs to go on the front page of TC.

take a screenshot of gamechannel. It’s a boatload of fail

well played gang!

boy, I bet the Fillies are mad. hehehehe

amman106 - August 20, 2010 reply

22nd win in last AB

Remember when I said in the 7th that if they’re patient with Marmol, the game can get out of control quickly?

ALL WE DO IS WIN

Victory Cookie!!

+ the internet

woooo

MBL1 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

woooo

cookies rock!!

this is by far my favorite

NOM NOM NOM NOM

Me like cookie.

What a game!!! Great win boys!!!

I must take at least partial credit for this win.

It seems like most of the time that I show up near the end of a game (especially in extra innings), when the Braves are tied or losing…..they proceed to win.

You are hereby demanded to join us every game from this point on out.

It only works when I wander in unknowing under those exact circumstances. I can’t really control it. :(

Same here man!

Can I take a lil piece?

Cubs won 3-2 still

great game

congrats billy
you have the most strikeouts by a lefty relliever in the history of the game

He’s tied.

He’ll claim that record in his next appearance.

I look forward to seeing it happen.

He still has a chance at getting the all-time left-handed saves record this season, too. He needs how many more? 11?

http://www.thegoodphight.com/2010/8/20/1633568/phillies-cf-prospect-tyson-gillies

went to phils site... saw this

Isn't he the deaf one they got from the Mariners?

yep, same guy

haha

hes so fast

Now we know why

+1

MVP (Melky) become LVP today

Ankiel is the MVP today. not only hit a clutch hit, he also threw a 95 mph to 2nd and made one great catch

Nice win!

Damn, gonna be gone this weekend, wont be able to hang with all you buddies for the last two of this series :(

Have a good weekend everyone and go Braves!

he seems to feel very uncomfortable looking at the camera

great way to start the weekend!!!!

Love this team!!

What a way to end the work day. Til we meet tomorrow fine TCers!

I can't handle this team.

pretty much what I just did in the office...

My boss thinks I’m crazy now. great.

That family lives near me. My dad plays golf with the guy all the time.

Did he put it on the net?

The kid’s dad did.

The people at yahoo need to get their heads out of their asses..

Final: Cubs 3 Braves 2

yes is says Marmol with the Loss and Wags with the Save

LOL

SO. MUCH. FAIL.

Nice to see yet another player step up and be the HERO!

.

later NC

3 game lead now!!

can we call Ankiel "The Rick" after his heroics today?

….why?

hahaha

The Anvil?

the ankhor!

Ankiel making his best impression to Conrad

What about the Anchor?

Ankhor

Moylan...

has more wins than JJ. Funny, right?

TRADE HANSON AND JJ

NOT WINNNARS

He threw a no hitter against my high school team when they went to Australia

The bullpen has about as many wins as our starters….

Wow

That’s all I’ve got. Just wow

murph35 - August 20, 2010 via mobile reply

what happened to that list of how many walkoffs each player had? ankiel needs to be added now..

Not a walkoff, but still AWESOME!!!!

B4TheFlop - August 20, 2010 reply

true...

lol fail on my part…
ok well last at bat victories…

If you can...

go watch the replay of the Ankiel triple. THAT is when Chip Carey is at his best. The man loves his Braves.

for a second i thought it was gonna be foul

i would have destroyed my TV

I thought it was fair from the beginning, but I thought the RF had a play on the ball. I thought it was more of a fly ball than it was a line drive.

I figured it was going straight to the RF

yea

i like chip…he gets so excited…i hate ppl like joe buck who have never been excited in his life

We're getting Ernie Johnson for a bunch of games next year

I really, really like him for basketball. I can see him being good at baseball.

I am just glad he did it with the Braves team. Dude does it quite often with the other teams which in turns pisses me off.

Wow. we only got 5 hits today (4 XBH). 2 from Auto-Single and 2 from Ankiel

...wtf.

Yahoo STILL has the records as 71-51 and 51-72.

Yahoo Stalin says the Phillies are 200-0

Socks is player number ? to put the Braves ahead in last at bat?

He has to be number 7 in my opinion. Heyward, Infante, McLouth, Melky, Prado, Glaus, and now Ankiel. I could be wrong.

woah, Conrad wtf? lol

haha yeah cmon

lol…the biggest fail of the day for me.

22 wins last at bat and 22 games over .500

Eerie...

BTW

philies definitely going to win today

so lopsided in the pitching duel

marquis should never be put in the same sentence as “pitching duel”

at least not in this decade haha

I think he’s going to go out there with something to prove and make it close!

Only bad thing

no game tonight LOL

I know! I usually end my days of work with the game… Now I’ve got 5 hours of trying to fill the day with something

Im filling it with a steak on the BBQ and hanging out with my roommate

And now I’m jealous

I’ve been slow cooking a pot of homemade chili since yesterday. That’s what I’m having for dinner.

I made a pot of beef stew in the crockpot last week

was pretty damn good

Not food...

But I’ll be stopping in at Great Divide brewery on the way home/out for the evening…4 beers in Beer Advocate’s top 100 w/ 1,000 critics ranking it.

Nom nom nom

-C

Watch Spurrior... In my own words

GF time tonight

instead of Braves… can’t complain too much

Also Deadwood until she gets here

Im sure your wood will be much more alive when she gets there

hahaha nice and true

Deadwood is an excellent show formerly on HBO

my g/f is working tonight so just hanging out with the roommate

just got two new roomies who dont like sports, are 4 years my youth, and don't seem to like video games

soooo won’t be hanging with them alot

…………what do they do for entertainment?

eachother?

one said and I quote

“rockclimbing…. and i guess midnight freeze tag”

rockcliming at the Student Rec Center, not even the real thing

YOU LIVE WITH HIPSTERS!

your only hope is to turn your apartment into a gas chamber. Do it for the kids, man.

haha nice

But I have a terrabyte's worth of movies and tv shows on my HD

Ok well I am out

Great win guys!!

We won and let's hope the Nats do something for us!!!

taney71 - August 20, 2010 reply

IF Marquis beats Halladay I would shit myself.
