Despite all the arguing that we as baseball fans, sports fans, and internet geeks alike, actually do on the internet, sometimes there are stark reminders of how meaningless numbers, history, and statistics actually are, when it comes to present day, present moment. Who would have actually thought that Brian Burres would beat the Braves? Who would have actually imagined Tim Hudson would lose to the Pirates? Who would have fathomed, that the worst team in Major League Baseball would take the first two games in a three-game series and knock the Atlanta Braves out of first place in the NL East? Certainly, not I. But unfortunately, such is reality, and we now stand in second place, and tonight rely on Derek Lowe (and Andrew Miller) of all people, to pitch like a winner(s), avoid the sweep, and put us back on the right track.
So, I'm going to take an alternative approach to talking up tonight's game, since apparently going the educated and analytical route and predicting sweeps has more or less blown up in my face, and at this rate, I don't think anyone's going to want me covering any future series, regardless of if gondeee, mvhs, pac, or Ben want to take a series off. Call me back up in 2-3 weeks when the Phillies are on deck, because I remember Brad Lidge had an epic meltdown last year during a series I covered, where Matt Diaz laid down the world's greatest bunt that resulted in an RBI, two errors, and a game-ender.
ZACH DUKE. ZACH. DUKE. His name even sounds majestic. Like a real, world beating ace of a horse, who is probably going to have a dominant performance tonight. ZACH DUKE was born on April 19th. I was born on April 19th. He's also from Waco, Texas. On his 10th birthday back in 1993, the Waco Siege ended with some raging fires that resulted in nearly 80 cumulative deaths. What people don't realize is that the fires were started by the heat ZACH DUKE was throwing, while playing catch too close to some fields. ZACH DUKE married a minor league emcee, two years after breaking into the big leagues. ZACH DUKE is also a former all-star, in 2009. But not just any all-star - an injury replacement all-star - because replacing Matt Cain with ZACH DUKE isn't a downgrade; it's an upgrade. Charlie Manuel wasn't dumb; he knew he had to pick a Giant to represent the squad, so he picked an injured one, so he could bring in a true winner instead to replace him later.
Completely ignore ZACH DUKE'S numbers. Ignore that throughout his career, he is 24 games under a .500 winning record. Ignore the mediocre 4.44 career ERA, and the mediocre K/9, xFIP and WHIP. And most importantly, ignore ZACH DUKE'S 2-4 record against Atlanta, with hitters hitting him at a rate of .346 and an .888 OPS in over 250 palte appearances, because that's clearly irrelevant to ZACH DUKE'S true ability. ZACH DUKE is a winner. ZACH DUKE is an all-star. But don't ignore ZACH DUKE'S blazing 87 mph fastball, and his knee-buckling 81 mph change. When the ball slams the brakes like that, we're pretty much toast.
Not to mention that he's a lefty pitcher, so I'm sure he's going to give Derrek Lee, and Melky Cabrera, and Alex Gonzalez some fits today.
eight feet tall
a number complimentary to eight feet tall
poorly
like a winner
And as for Derek Lowe, let's just look back to happier times, and try to funnel these winning thoughts to our $15 million dollar man. Don't ever doubt the power of positive thinking.

Jman781 - September 8, 2010
OT: Damn you AJ...
Jman781 - September 8, 2010
Must win game
is an understatement
KINGSLYTUT - September 8, 2010
Id say so.
oVecKid - September 8, 2010
I've got to go to calculus now and ill be driving home through at least half the game, but I would like to post something from my own facebook, earlier this morning:
OK Derek Lowe, I’ve been really patient, I’m pretty sure I’m the only Braves fan left that still likes you. You made me look like an ass when you had that good start and I said you’d win 18 games. I know you’re 37 and you have a bone chip lodged in your elbow but we HAVE to win tonight. Go get ’em.
15ks - September 8, 2010
I like Derek, too.
sddbaker - September 8, 2010
just got home
and safe to say he’ll be getting the pep talk before the rest of his starts
15ks - September 8, 2010
roy....!
I think it would have been nice if you hadn’t photo-shopped out the fireballs that flock to ZACH DUKE when he thinks about throwing his fastball… It’s bad karma to downplay the opposing pitcher like that.
BMacAttack - September 8, 2010
If there was ever another night to start KK.....I think that tonight was it
El Soro - September 8, 2010
Money on the Phillies?
Lowe is due for one of his bi-monthly good starts. That’s about all I have.
Still…I’d rather see him pitch with his left arm that allow Kawakami onto that mound with a tomahawk on his chest. Whatever arguments you can make about what Ken’s record should be and what little run support he’s gotten, especially in the season’s first few months, the fact remains that he’s about a million miles from where he needs to be right now as a pitcher and thus should be kept a million miles from a starting assignment.
Sam Jethroe - September 8, 2010
Secret plan...
Braves score 6 runs in the first two innings, Lowe exits with pain in his elbow. KK comes in and finishes it out for a 6-3 (maybe 4) victory.

cthabeerman - September 8, 2010
I was going more with the bizzaro vibe of the opening….the bizzaro vibe of the series so far….I keep forgetting how militant some of the commenters can be……knamean??
El Soro - September 8, 2010
Ah, okay.
Kawakami has some borderline irrational supporters (and similarly unbalanced critics, as well), so I took that at face value. Sorry.
Sam Jethroe - September 8, 2010
Well, I’m only a supporter now because I have a serious problem with the way he was treated this year (with incomplete information as to why, of course), but I think he has a serious case of Brad Lidge Syndrome and (in all likelihood) a dead arm…just my opinion.
El Soro - September 8, 2010
I'd call it 1990 Marty Clary Syndrome
Or 1981 Tommy Boggs…or 1985 Pascual Perez. A guy who should be 5-5, 4-6, something on that order instead of 1-10 or whatever the case may be. Bad run support and mounting pressure are a bad brew and eventually it takes it’s toll.
Irrespective of how we got here, we’re here and he’s not suited to start for us the rest of this season. He’s probably been treated badly but I’m not in the frame of mind to run him out there in an effort to make him feel better.
Sam Jethroe - September 8, 2010
The world's tallest man...
Is 8’1" and 364 pounds. Despite the difference in height, I’d say Lowe’s locks net him at least a couple more pounds, and that thunderous right arm of him adds at least another 17.
8’, 384 pounds, mother effers. Hurling baseballs or boulders, Lowe is a fierce competitor.
Sadly, it is rumored that one of Lowe’s ancestors was crushed in the face by a come-backer in ancient times, giving the Israelites a 1-0 victory over the Philistines.
That’s right, Derek Lowe’s ancestors were Philistines.
Let’s hope he can break free of his past and get the Braves a win tonight.
Fuck the Philistines!!
-C
cthabeerman - September 8, 2010
cthabeerman FTW
El Soro - September 8, 2010
I know...
Everyone hates Lowe’s contract, myself included… But at the time it was the front office’s best option… Would we rather be paying AJ Burnett $85 mil? I would just be nice if he could start looking like a guy who deserves even half what he’s making… Huddy’s only making A little more than half…
HansonManCrush - September 8, 2010 via mobile
I’d rather have that money to spend on someone that is, you know, worth it, and have not spent it on someone who isn’t.
Or Sabathia, I’d have rather had Sabathia than Lowikami.
Lennox - September 8, 2010
Too bad we're not one of those west coast teams that Sabathia committed himself to choosing.
Like the New York Yankees…
Sam Jethroe - September 8, 2010
GO PIRATES!!!!!!!!
Scott Coleman - September 8, 2010 via mobile
GO PATS!!!!!!!!!
….wait, what are we doing?
SuperNewb - September 8, 2010
Lowe needs to be yanked quickly at the 1st sign of trouble
Cristhian Martinez and Craig Kimbrel should be available and ready to go. So there is no reason, none, to leave him out if he’s not right or putting us in a hole.
fandave - September 8, 2010
Cox denies even thinking about pulling Lee out of the lineup in favor of Freeman.
fandave - September 8, 2010
As an FSU grad, when I read stuff like this in my mind I still think...
Well, at least Bobby
BowdenCox can always say, “You know, I think we’re just one player away from winning that championship…”El Soro - September 8, 2010
I Still Believe in my Braves
Let’s start a winning streak tonight!
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
That is the attitude!
Go Braves!
fandave - September 8, 2010
Yay girlfriend!
sddbaker - September 8, 2010
Is Bobby EVER going to change up the lineup?
Heyward NEEDS to be moved back a spot into the #3 hole.
SmithnCompany - September 8, 2010
No he doesn’t.
-C
cthabeerman - September 8, 2010
Why not?
Isn’t a team’s #3 hitter typically the best all around player on that particular team?
SmithnCompany - September 8, 2010
Because.

cthabeerman - September 8, 2010
I've been holding back for awhile... but I think it's time...
SuperNewb - September 8, 2010

Not trying to take credit for the image… sure most people remember it from the end of last year.
SuperNewb - September 8, 2010
Just happy you posted it!
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
Ah, alright...
Just making sure, I figured you’d know it wasn’t mine…
I just hope nobody thinks it’s jinxed.
SuperNewb - September 8, 2010
I'm happy to see something positive on the thread tonight!
:)
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
Just wait until we start “hitting” at 7:05. That’s when it all goes downhill.

I heard
Zach Duke’s changeup once pulled Pujols right outta his shoes and he didn’t even swing the bat!!! WOW!!
HansonManCrush - September 8, 2010 via mobile
Duke is going to throw a percet game
With 27 pitches.
Sam Jethroe - September 8, 2010
I'll save everyone the trouble...
FAIL.
Sam Jethroe - September 8, 2010
If you are going to be negative before the game even starts
Do us a favor and leave now.
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
Is it ok to be negative after the game starts ?
BravesFan2010 - September 8, 2010
Just saying it would be nice to wait and see what happens
before the crying begins….
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
Pay attention
And stop making assumptions.
Sam Jethroe - September 8, 2010
So saying,
Duke is going to pitch a perfect game against us tonight is not being negative?!?
Grow up…
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010

Sam Jethroe - September 9, 2010
I was referring to my lousy spelling
In the previous post.
Losing has made us a touchy bunch.
Sam Jethroe - September 8, 2010
You have been negative in every game thread lately....
Just sayin’
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
You have a very low threshold for "negative"
Sam Jethroe - September 8, 2010
If so,
many more on here do as well. They are choosing to no longer participate in the game threads because of the negativity.
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
If you're talking about problems you're having with posters in the game threads
You’re thinking about someone other than me. If you see me in a game thread it’s at the beginning before the first pitch is thrown or during a rain delay. I’m working on a desktop here. I can hear my TV from here but I can’t see it from here. During a game, I’m in there watching what’s going on.
Sam Jethroe - September 8, 2010
I got a good feelin' about tonight...let's leave Pittsburgh with a Victory!
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
Wouldn't it be nice if we just crushed the Pirates tonight and won like 20-0 ? We need one of those games.
BravesFan2010 - September 8, 2010
Marlins are sitting Hanely, who's red hot....
….but the lineup they’re running out there tonight looks like they can mash lefties.
Undocorkscrew - September 8, 2010
So I'm glad this happened
for the longest time we feared the day we fall behind the Phillies, now it has happened and we have to face it.
I’m not happy it happened per say, just that it did now. We are behind, we no longer have to fear that- we can just look forward and not have the pressure of being in first for so long
MikeTrain - September 8, 2010
Maybe this is the best possible thing that could happen to the Braves. I think they got complacent for a long time, and hopefully they will wake up now.
BravesFan2010 - September 8, 2010
Its been said several times already...
But worth reiterating… This team is all about the cime from behind, last at bat victory… Philly be dammed VICTORY WILL BE OURS!!!
HansonManCrush - September 8, 2010 via mobile
The obvious question is... If you don't believe we can win...
Why are ya watchin’?
SuperNewb - September 8, 2010
i believe we can win today
but not the division.
I’m hoping we win a wild card which we can do.
We have to figure out the road woes. Our road record is just terrible.
Finally, bobby needs to sit Derek Lee and Alex Gonzalez. Neither one have done anything yet and we have capable backups in Brooks Conrad and Freddie Freeman. Give the 2 young guys a shot
Jaymin Patel - September 8, 2010
You've got to be kidding...
Alex Gonzalez has been putting in work since he’s come here. He’s been a remarkable improvement over Yunel’s production earlier in the season, and if you can’t see that, you’re obviously not paying attention.
-C
cthabeerman - September 8, 2010
+1000
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
i strong disagree
he might have had a few nice games but his overall production is not the same as it was in Toronto. Yes he was upgrade over Yunel but there might have been other SS out there who could have been had like Stephen Drew for example. Plus Alex has made alot of errors and I know I’m not the only one to notice that. He makes good plays but he messes up on routine plays.
Jaymin Patel - September 8, 2010
7 errors in his first 11 games...
1 since. He’s been making incredible plays look routine since making the adjustment.
These stats are a couple days old, but I imagine they’re still close enough to exact to use: .354 OBP with runners on, .369 with RISP. Hit 18 XBH in 48 games, six more than Yunel had in 75 games. His OBP since coming to the Braves is above league average, especially with runners on.
Might have been available doesn’t equal was available. Drew is still with the D-Backs, and it’s not like the Braves were the only team out there w/ SS needs.

Just quality at-bats with balls hit hard is all I ask for.
We’ve had far too many no-effort failures at the plate lately.
No more swing-throughs on pitches nowhere near. No more lazy flies. No more weak choppers. Just string some hits together.
Ivan the Great - September 8, 2010
you're asking for a bit much
especially on the choppers with Melky playing. CHOPPAHs are his favorite

I dunno that 1 AB proves anything
SS451 - September 8, 2010
I'll I'm sayin is they found a way to get runners in
when Bmac, caveman, and mvp did not
CalBravesFan - September 8, 2010
All I'm sayin**
CalBravesFan - September 8, 2010
And just like that, it's 2-0 Phillies
:)
Scott Coleman - September 8, 2010 via mobile
did you really think andrew miller
would do to the Phillies what he did to us?
leedawg - September 8, 2010
i certainly hoped
BravesRaleigh - September 8, 2010
Well he dominated us for 5 innings, but no.
Scott Coleman - September 8, 2010 via mobile
kinda hoping him being lefty would make him not totally suck
bpk228480 - September 8, 2010
But he DOES totally suck.
SS451 - September 8, 2010
Kobe:The Legend - September 8, 2010
dang
nice play ronny
BravesRaleigh - September 8, 2010
Aww so close. But 3-0 looks GOOD!
Cayla - September 8, 2010
i will take that
-1 - September 8, 2010
ugh
slowest team in the league….BUT…its a start!
bpk228480 - September 8, 2010
Was hoping that we could clear away the pitcher's spot
But 3 ain’t bad.
SS451 - September 8, 2010
LOL, Ryan Howard thrown out at home.
2-0 Phillies
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010
Is this optimism I'm feeling?
CapnKevHa - September 8, 2010
its amazing what actually scoring runs will do
Jtpdolphins2009 - September 8, 2010
its hilarious
cuz im pretty sure this is the 1 pitcher we were afraid of
BravesRaleigh - September 8, 2010
we seem to do better against those ace pitchers for some reason
bodes well if we make the playoffs lol
Jtpdolphins2009 - September 8, 2010
it'll go away
if derek blows the lead like he does sometimes, not being negative, but lets face it, hes not tim hudson when u give him a 3 run lead
BravesRaleigh - September 8, 2010
It's dying a little bit right now...
CapnKevHa - September 8, 2010
wooo
Lowe got an out ….keep the groundballs coming
bpk228480 - September 8, 2010
Dear Derek Lowe,
Please do not suck today.
That is all.
Thank you.
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010

Hektor DiPaula - September 8, 2010

Jaymin Patel - September 8, 2010
If DLowe blows this...
TC will be holding a secret meeting at Turner Field tomorrow night. Anyone in attendance will take part in Operation: Throw Lowe in the Atlantic Ocean with Shark Food Attached to Him.

"Mmmm, bone chips" - The Sharks of the Atlantic Ocean
sexbobomb - September 8, 2010
Can we throw McClouth with him??? Just so Bobby is no longer tempted to put him in a game?
KJDH2154 - September 8, 2010
i will drive 3 hours for that
BravesRaleigh - September 8, 2010
I’ll do the 13 if we can include ankiel
bpk228480 - September 8, 2010

BravesRaleigh - September 8, 2010
can we take KK too
for some salary relief for next year
leedawg - September 8, 2010
is it me or...
does prado’s 3rd to 1st arm seem a little tentative and weak.
chipsicyhotcorner - September 8, 2010
u seem a little tentative and weak
BravesRaleigh - September 8, 2010
i prefer faltering and frail.
chipsicyhotcorner - September 8, 2010
good bye perfect game

1 2 3 is not Lowes style
bpk228480 - September 8, 2010

Jtpdolphins2009 - September 8, 2010

BravesRaleigh - September 8, 2010
neither is pitching well consistently
but that is another story
CalBravesFan - September 8, 2010

a run didnt score
BravesRaleigh - September 8, 2010

bpk228480 - September 8, 2010

Cayla - September 8, 2010

how was lowe against us….?
Hektor DiPaula - September 8, 2010
You could argue that he still is.
CapnKevHa - September 8, 2010
i guess...
Hektor DiPaula - September 8, 2010
3-4, 3.58 ERA
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010

chipsicyhotcorner - September 8, 2010
They must be the Phillies in disguise.
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010
its all part of the joke....
Hektor DiPaula - September 8, 2010
nay, it is not a tease.
chipsicyhotcorner - September 8, 2010
Lowe looks like he is just waiting
to have a baserunning screwup
DCP916 - September 8, 2010

bpk228480 - September 8, 2010

NCChopper - September 8, 2010
This
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
Look at that!
We got to a lefty!
sexbobomb - September 8, 2010
amazing!
rubbles88 - September 8, 2010
i think bob gibson could have been pitching today
and this lineup would’ve hit. They are just determined
Jaymin Patel - September 8, 2010
STFD DUKE
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010
another lefty coming in....
stupid gameday is slow….
Hektor DiPaula - September 8, 2010
McCutchen’s a righty.
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010
ohh my bad
forgot the question mark…
Hektor DiPaula - September 8, 2010
what a great start for duke
1 IP 6 H 1BB 3 ER and the 3 men on belong to him
lingsched - September 8, 2010
I vote that royhobbs can do all the game previews
like the one he did today for the rest of they year!
CalBravesFan - September 8, 2010
Fantasy
Hope those people from yesterday didn’t follow through on picking up whoever was starting against the Braves in their fantasy league
sexbobomb - September 8, 2010
they got 2 mccutchens on the same team
and one’s white and the other’s black.
what are the chances?
Jaymin Patel - September 8, 2010
its the Pirates
dont be shocked by anything lol
Jtpdolphins2009 - September 8, 2010
I don't see colors, just McCutcheons, man.
Duff_Man - September 8, 2010
True this
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
well hey,
we knocked a pitcher out of the game in 1 IP. success. even if it is duke.
chipsicyhotcorner - September 8, 2010
thats
not what we’re looking for odarp

How about you guys?

i'll take a hard hit single!

With a side of Ribeye.

Success!
Cayla - September 8, 2010
you got it
rubbles88 - September 8, 2010
OT
what are the chances we could get beltre next year….??
Hektor DiPaula - September 8, 2010
he'll want 14 mil for 4 years
we could give 12.5 if we can get rid of either mclouth or KK.
I say it can happen but chances are about 15%
Jaymin Patel - September 8, 2010
or...
we could sign him to a one year deal every year for the next three, cause he only hits like that on contract years….
Hektor DiPaula - September 8, 2010
thanks marlins
for not starting hanley against the phillies
BravesRaleigh - September 8, 2010
I want to thank them for starting Andrew Miller
bpk228480 - September 8, 2010
Everything that team does is in some way designed to screw us.

chipsicyhotcorner - September 8, 2010
Darn popups.
Cayla - September 8, 2010
More Braves bases loaded fail
bpk228480 - September 8, 2010
bases loaded and heart of the order – 1 walk, 3 popups
rubbles88 - September 8, 2010
there’s always something….
Hektor DiPaula - September 8, 2010

Come on Caveman!
sexbobomb - September 8, 2010

Bmac fails again...
CalBravesFan - September 8, 2010
We are still the worst team in the league
with the bases loaded
UltimaParadox - September 8, 2010
10th, actually. .273 before today.
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010
Wow...FACE!
Duff_Man - September 8, 2010
DAMMIT
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010
we got 1 run lol
Jtpdolphins2009 - September 8, 2010
bright side
no DP…… i guess
-1 - September 8, 2010
An actual HIT with no outs and bases loaded would have been sweet.
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
thats terrible….1 run is not good enough…especially since it took a walk to get it
bpk228480 - September 8, 2010
Slightly OT:
You know what all this offense means? MORE PAs for Infante!
CalBravesFan - September 8, 2010
he probably won't win the batting title
Kobe:The Legend - September 8, 2010
may not matter the way CarGo has been swinging the bat lately
leedawg - September 8, 2010
not the at-bats I was looking for
leedawg - September 8, 2010
4-0
I’m not complaining
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
Better than last night
sexbobomb - September 8, 2010
+ 1000
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
unacceptable
KJDH2154 - September 8, 2010
How did dlee perform better than prado and mcann?
MikeTrain - September 8, 2010
because he didn't swing much
rubbles88 - September 8, 2010
because he couldn't catch up with the fastballs
rubbles88 - September 8, 2010
Maybe he finally woke up
after we loss the division he must know that his poor hitting is one of the main reasons we been losing.
Andeezy - September 8, 2010
I g2g run some errands…I’ll check in later…please don’t blow this lead Lowe
bpk228480 - September 8, 2010
OH NOEZ
the Braves have learned how to hit lefties, only to forget how to hit rightiesByrneSupremacy - September 8, 2010
It wouldn’t be fair to other teams if we could hit both at the same time.
king of games - September 8, 2010
gotta love the retro beer men.
chipsicyhotcorner - September 8, 2010
1-2-3! Success!!!
leedawg - September 8, 2010

HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
Claiming Derek Lowe is "pitching a beauty" is a little premature, Chip...
strider15 - September 8, 2010
2 for Lowe
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
wow hell has frozen over
DLowe with a 1,2,3 inning
Jtpdolphins2009 - September 8, 2010
and pitching a 3 hit shutout
CalBravesFan - September 8, 2010
through 2.0 IP....
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
Can someone tell me what that non-round number next to our team means?
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
Meteor’s about to strike.
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010
you need to clean your tv screen.
no wait! we’re actually scoring.
chipsicyhotcorner - September 8, 2010
was that a 123 inning?
TCfromDubVee - September 8, 2010
Winning is Fun
I had forgot how good it feels
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
agree
Jaymin Patel - September 8, 2010
Phillies losing while we win is more fun
unfortunately the Marlins dont agree.
Andeezy - September 8, 2010
Marlins trying to exact further revenge on Bobby
ByrneSupremacy - September 8, 2010
They’re so classless.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
This is vintage Lowe
Groundouts and Ks, I forgot what he looks like when he’s actually pitching well.
king of games - September 8, 2010
well it hasn't happened in a while
Jaymin Patel - September 8, 2010
July?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
Damn Marlins....they're letting the Phillies walk all over them tonight
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
well at least that means we're technically walking all over the bucaroos.
chipsicyhotcorner - September 8, 2010

HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010

Cayla - September 8, 2010

When was Melky's last HR?
Scott Coleman - September 8, 2010
Against the Marlins back in July?
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
finding holes.
how nice.
chipsicyhotcorner - September 8, 2010
Melky!
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
On TV Chip loves to say “fisted.” On the radio side, Jim Powell is always referring to teams having a “2-run bulge” or a “3 game bulge in the West.” Weird.
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
All the fisting is giving him a bulge?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
I guess.
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
Nicely done! How about a sac bunt here Derek.
Cayla - September 8, 2010
Actually that works better.
Cayla - September 8, 2010
It seems the team got a wake up call from yesterday's loss

I don’t believe you…
Scott Coleman - September 8, 2010
I cross my Bobby and promise
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
LOL
This is why we’re the 2nd best offense in the NL. Look like shit for a few games, then score 10 runs for the next few.
Scott Coleman - September 8, 2010
I hope they find a way to time it so some of those 10 run games come against the Phillies.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
We have been doing that lately. Nothing, nothing, nothing, 10 runs, nothing, nothing.
We are using up our runs.
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
Not a very good baseball strategy
KJDH2154 - September 8, 2010
That’s why our odds for making the playoffs is so high. All those thing factor in run differential and these blow out games (after narrow losses) really make us computers’s favorite.
LEastCoastBears - September 8, 2010

chipsicyhotcorner - September 8, 2010
aye
ByrneSupremacy - September 8, 2010
as long as we keep that a constant!
TCfromDubVee - September 8, 2010
ME ME ME
Scott Coleman - September 8, 2010
That'll use up our run allotment for the week, though.
SS451 - September 8, 2010
figures you would be the negative one lol
Jtpdolphins2009 - September 8, 2010
Only gentle kidding
SS451 - September 8, 2010
yes
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010
Sure.
Infante needs his batting title, and Heyward needs ROY. Who cares if a single game is padding their stats?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
yarrr
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
me too
Jaymin Patel - September 8, 2010
That's more like it
If we can hold on, then we get to play for (a tie for) 1st place tomorrow
LEastCoastBears - September 8, 2010
Phils idle?
SS451 - September 8, 2010
yes
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010
This is fun
Cayla - September 8, 2010
is anyone else giddy with excitement that we're not the ones failing!?!?!
chipsicyhotcorner - September 8, 2010
Meeeee
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
Is that a hit for Omar?
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
Yes.
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
Thanks :-)
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
I would sure think so.
Scott Coleman - September 8, 2010
So...I have to ask
IF we lost this game, what would you do?
Scott Coleman - September 8, 2010
come find and give you a black eye for a jinx
TCfromDubVee - September 8, 2010
Cry
Cayla - September 8, 2010
break stuff
BravesRaleigh - September 8, 2010
SILENCE, KNAVE!!!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
beat you up for jinxing us
Jtpdolphins2009 - September 8, 2010
Give up.
I was close yesterday, but if we were to throw this away, I wouldn’t tune in again.
SS451 - September 8, 2010
My focus would move completely toward football
KJDH2154 - September 8, 2010
Same here
COLTS ON SUNDAY! WOOO WOOO WOOO WOOO WOOO!
Scott Coleman - September 8, 2010
Iowa vs. Iowa State saturday!
Then Cowboys dominating the ’skins on Sunday Night Football IN AMERICA!
KJDH2154 - September 8, 2010
And then the first loss of the season on the following Saturday…
Scott Coleman - September 8, 2010
We’ll see about that….Foles is gonna get eaten alive by our d-line, I can’t wait
KJDH2154 - September 8, 2010
I’m looking forward to it. They’re expecting a crowd bigger than the one for Oregon last year (which was ESPN’s college football game of the year for ‘09) and that was the best sporting event I’ve ever been to….even if we did lose in OT.
Scott Coleman - September 8, 2010
Get myself banned from here for cursing.
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
shit brix.
chipsicyhotcorner - September 8, 2010
It seems like they’re not swinging for the fence tonight – and we’re getting key hits.
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
This
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
Wait a second!
We’re not a power team? Why didn’t anyone tell me this?
king of games - September 8, 2010
Brooks Conrad disagrees....
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
6 run leads are safe right?
BravesRaleigh - September 8, 2010
not against the Rockies!
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010
Not with the Loweser on the mound.
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
nope flashback Rockies
Andeezy - September 8, 2010
way to move the runner, J-Hey
LEastCoastBears - September 8, 2010
way to move the runners
Bob Mackie - September 8, 2010
Nirtam Odarp
2-run single!
Scott Coleman - September 8, 2010
8-0!!!!
Jtpdolphins2009 - September 8, 2010
Martin!!
Cayla - September 8, 2010
Seriously though guys....let's kill these F'ers.
35-0!
Scott Coleman - September 8, 2010
i need philly to lose!
TCfromDubVee - September 8, 2010
there'd have to be a heyward homer in there right?
BravesRaleigh - September 8, 2010
Yes.
If Heyward finishes the season at .900 OPS, I think he’d be a lock for ROY.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
Officially a rout.
SS451 - September 8, 2010
Pirates are not the Rockies
…i hope
LEastCoastBears - September 8, 2010
Pretty sure that’s a fact, Rocks always turn it on this time of year.
king of games - September 8, 2010
SCREW YOU, MARLINS
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010
That's all right.
I’m ok with us playing to climb back into a tie tomorrow.
SS451 - September 8, 2010
i wonder if logan morrison has been killed yet.
chipsicyhotcorner - September 8, 2010
I like this game
ByrneSupremacy - September 8, 2010
No lead is safe until the game is over.
Lennox - September 8, 2010
that’s the beauty of baseball
LEastCoastBears - September 8, 2010
+1
MikeTrain - September 8, 2010
Prado
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
Infante 7 pa???
MikeTrain - September 8, 2010
thats what I said
but some Negative Nancy’s said he wouldn’t win :(
CalBravesFan - September 8, 2010
he won't win
look at Carlos Gonzalez
Kobe:The Legend - September 8, 2010
What’s his batting average?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
.340
leedawg - September 8, 2010
Seriously? How many PAs?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
not sure on PA's
but he’s already got 506 AB’s so he’s already qualified
leedawg - September 8, 2010
Wow. He really came out of nowhere to pass everyone. And he is already qualified.
Infante needs 100 more PAs to qualify without taking penalties. I wonder if he’ll get that many. If he can, he might hold onto it. Otherwise, it’s going to depend on if Gonzalez’s bat cools down.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
30+ hits in 15 games will do that
Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010
Surely, he can’t keep that pace up, right?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
no
Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010
doubtful he can keep up his slash line for this week
.567/.606/1.000
leedawg - September 8, 2010
he's hit .391 since the beginning of July
leedawg - September 8, 2010
he needs it
Jaymin Patel - September 8, 2010
We could have used some of these runs in the first two games.
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
Is it too late to take 6 of these runs and apply it to yesterdays game?
Andeezy - September 8, 2010
Wouldn't it be amazing if...
There were a rule that, say, five times during the year you could transfer up to 3 runs from one game to an immediately preceding or succeeding game?
Well no, actually. That would suck. Maybe if only the Braves could do it.
SS451 - September 8, 2010
Can we at least give the Marlins 6 of our runs?
Andeezy - September 8, 2010
I’d prefer a rule where we can transfer the Phillies’ runs to the Braves whenever we feel like it.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
Has Lee homered as a Brave yet?
Tonley - September 8, 2010
No.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
No
Cayla - September 8, 2010
5-11 w/ RISP
I like
CalBravesFan - September 8, 2010
The Bravos are back
hopefully to stay…
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
LOL
for the first time in four months, the low is in the 60s for 3 days in a row. Oh my god.
Scott Coleman - September 8, 2010
Its aliiiiiiive!
sexbobomb - September 8, 2010
Lee
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
Hey, Lee just hit a fastball.
Lennox - September 8, 2010
DLee
is waking up!
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
Bobby might sit DLee tomorrow, then he forgets how to hit again.
I remember DLee had two consecutive good games, then Freeman played the next day and DLee forgot his swing again.
rubbles88 - September 8, 2010
another hit
Phillies are winning blah
Jtpdolphins2009 - September 8, 2010
its nice to get the boobirds out and crowing.
chipsicyhotcorner - September 8, 2010
Pirates fans not very pleased
but I sure am!
Cayla - September 8, 2010
They still have fans?
king of games - September 8, 2010
for now
Steelers return this weekend.
DaveKS - September 8, 2010
Yeah. They both left, though.
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010
Haha
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
Wow, the Braves are singling this team to death.
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010
when it rains it pours
love it
Jaymin Patel - September 8, 2010
ha
gone in 60 seconds references
BravesRaleigh - September 8, 2010
Does D-Lowe have our only extra base hit?
strider15 - September 8, 2010
yes
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010
cabrera
BravesRaleigh - September 8, 2010
z
The Phillies don’t play the Pirates next do they?
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
they got the muts.
chipsicyhotcorner - September 8, 2010
they have 6 with us
6 with the lolmets, 6 with the nats, and 3 with the fish. Only difference in our schedule is 1 less series w the mets and the 4 gamer w the Cards coming up
leedawg - September 8, 2010
I would call that
advantage Phils. But maybe not by much; the Cards have been terrible lately.
SS451 - September 8, 2010
we have 4 more games at home than they do
leedawg - September 8, 2010
Marlins still have time to catch up on the sillies...
give ’em some time
CalBravesFan - September 8, 2010
What inning and score?
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
I would miuch rather be beating the phillies like this but i will take the bucs for now!
TCfromDubVee - September 8, 2010
Hey been listening on the radio... who is this team and what'd they do with the Braves?
SuperHeyward - September 8, 2010
shhhh. kidnapping is alright.
chipsicyhotcorner - September 8, 2010
Well, McCann certainly picked a good night to dog it
SS451 - September 8, 2010
McCANN SUX
DFA!
leedawg - September 8, 2010
dumb question
what is DFA?
CalBravesFan - September 8, 2010
Designate for assignment
Basically, send him to the minors.
SS451 - September 8, 2010
aight thanks!
CalBravesFan - September 8, 2010
Sorry, that's not exactly right...
It’s more commonly used to trade an underperforming player.
SS451 - September 8, 2010
Designated for assignment
Tonley - September 8, 2010
i think it means......
deliver for assessment or something
BravesRaleigh - September 8, 2010
don’t bleep around
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
dancing faeries abound
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
i like this game
leedawg - September 8, 2010

Cayla - September 8, 2010
I know Lee is doing well
but maybe we will see Freeman in a little later
CalBravesFan - September 8, 2010
Awesome cheering from the Pirates fans
sexbobomb - September 8, 2010
This time yesterday it was the 5th inning
BeatTehMets - September 8, 2010
Well now. My friend who lives in Pittsburgh just called.
Saying she heard they won the first two games – I told her we were exacting our revenge tonight.
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
She “heard” they won the first two games? Who cares what that person thinks? They aren’t a baseball fan.
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
Well, I cut her some slack since she was calling me from a lawn chair on the beach. She’s on vacation.
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
What about Big Ben not starting Sunday against the Falcons?
We caught a break, I hope.
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
He got 4 games, right? I’ve been so tied up in traveling and Braves baseball – I’m behind on my Steeler stuff.
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
Yep
I think so
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
yep
leedawg - September 8, 2010
Deep breath, kid. It's baseball.
BeatTehMets - September 8, 2010
True
but I’ll take a series win with one ass-whooping any day instead of the other way around
CalBravesFan - September 8, 2010
More at bats for Infante!!!
BeatTehMets - September 8, 2010
shhh you’ll anger Carlos Gonzalez and he’ll come hit 10 HRs off the braves
SuperHeyward - September 8, 2010
That’s what happens every night when I go to sleep.
king of games - September 8, 2010
Fortunately for us, he missed his last chance to do that…..until next season.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
Rockies just traded him to the Phils for Lidge.
king of games - September 8, 2010
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:-p
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
I'm a big fan of the bats coming alive tonight
I just hate that we are such a feast or famine team.
hopefully they can change that. soon.
nuftjedi - September 8, 2010
Ugh, 7-0 Phillies
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010
They’re trying to keep up, but they can’t….
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
they dont need to
they are in first now lol
Jtpdolphins2009 - September 8, 2010
Might as well be tied….will be tomorrow.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
This will read
Uggla! 7 – 8 marlins by ten thirty
BeatTehMets - September 8, 2010
Don’t give him 2nd base Lowe…
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
It would be great if Kawakami could pull off pretending to be Roy Halladay
for the rest of the season and hang around the Phillies dugout.
Andeezy - September 8, 2010

I don’t need runz
BeatTehMets - September 8, 2010
AJ Green gets 4 games for selling a jersey.
BeatTehMets - September 8, 2010
hes clearly
not as good as julio jones
BravesRaleigh - September 8, 2010
The NFL will tell us that.
BeatTehMets - September 8, 2010
Leadoff single - no damage
NCChopper - September 8, 2010

TCfromDubVee - September 8, 2010
OT, Dawg fans
Did you hear AJ Green got suspended for 4 games? ugh

HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
Should be only 3 more since he missed the first one, right?
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
True
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
Jimmy Rollins left the game with an apparent injury
Jtpdolphins2009 - September 8, 2010
Ran the bases gingerly. Probably like a Welshman.
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
yessssss
that is how i like to win
take a bat to the other guys knee
Jaymin Patel - September 8, 2010
Is that you Tonya Harding?
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
Who do I make the gift basket out to?
king of games - September 8, 2010
OT: MattE and Leslee Diaz Family Foundation
I’m not sure if this has been mentioned on TC before (J-Hey tweeted about it yesterday), but if you’re on Facebook, become a fan of Matty’s foundation here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/MattE-and-Leslee-Diaz-Family-Foundation/343319968141
“For every Facebook fan up to 10,000 fans that are added by the end of the baseball season, our family will donate five dollars to the foundation. Half of the money we will go to helping one of our favorite charities (Parker Street Ministries) renovate its building to help disadvantaged kids get their school work done, some will go to sending envoy to help in Uganda (jengauganda.org) and the rest will go to getting the foundation up and running (web site etc).”
Sorry to go OT but its for a good cause
ByrneSupremacy - September 8, 2010
Done
BeatTehMets - September 8, 2010
Will do
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
Melky!

Ugh, blame Gameday.
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010
The pitch to Lowe is Low
hmmmmmm
Jtpdolphins2009 - September 8, 2010
Lowe making more contact tonight than Ankiel does in a week.
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
Sad
but true.
Cayla - September 8, 2010
0-98743983427493873429 with 98743983427493873429 strikeouts.
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
I just noticed something....
If Lowe keeps hitting like he is tonight, he could end up with a higher batting average than Nate McLouth.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
Huddy is only .002 behind Ankiel
and .040 ahead of nate…. Huddy for CF in days he doesn’t pitch!!!
leedawg - September 8, 2010
It’d be sad if Hanson got HIS batting average higher than McLouth’s, too…..
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
I think Lowe's seen more pitches,
than he’s had to throw…
Richard R - September 8, 2010
what? no runs?
damn this team sucks
Jtpdolphins2009 - September 8, 2010
Infante isn't playing like he wants that batting title....
Only 2 for 3 so far…..tsk tsk.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
2-4
CalBravesFan - September 8, 2010
*2 for 4
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
Diaz and BMac are the only ones without a hit so far.
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
Bums....DFA THEM!!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
;-)
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
Alex giving it a heck of an effort there.
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
infante hit that ball a mile
CalBravesFan - September 8, 2010

leedawg - September 8, 2010
Nice DP
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
Nice
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
Doucher Phillies piling it on, now 9-0
leedawg - September 8, 2010
Ya know what? The Marlins can DIAF…..they’re doing this on purpose.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
It seems they are motivated to stay in first place.
:(
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
Don’t worry. We’ll take it from them by force if necessary.
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010
True this :)
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
For the Cardinals series
Jurrjens / Wainwright
Minor / Carpenter
Hanson / Westbrook
Hudson / Lohse/Suppan/someone else
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010
The best part about that series: No Lowe.
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
this
Braves24 - September 8, 2010
Minor is overmatched…..
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
ya but the Cards lineup can't buy a hit right now
i’ll take our lineup if we can come with the same determination that we had today
Jaymin Patel - September 8, 2010
I think the 1st one is a toss up
although Wainwright has lost his last 4 starts, adv to the Cards in game 2, think we have the advantage in games 3 and 4
leedawg - September 8, 2010
That was my assessment, too. I figured it went without saying, though.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
ouch
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
Did you see the photos of Smoltz? He was so handsome.
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
Prado
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
They clearly did it on purpose.
SUSPENSIONS!!!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
It’s only on purpose if it hits Prince Fielder.
UMDBHIK - September 8, 2010
cause he deserves it!
TCfromDubVee - September 8, 2010

HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010

Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010

It’s about time for this offensive explosion.
I was becoming despondent.

BMac
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
Diaz is due!
TCfromDubVee - September 8, 2010
Let’s hope something actually happens with this…..

DO IT MATTY…NOW
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010

12.15 ERA from opposing relievers agrees with you, eh?

I like all the pitchers tonight,

HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
good ab Mac. Lets go Diaz
Braves24 - September 8, 2010

HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
sac-fly?
CalBravesFan - September 8, 2010
Sac Fly for Diaz
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
good job Diaz
Braves24 - September 8, 2010
Since when are sac flies allowed?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
It's kinda weird that we're winning
and the Phillies are winning with the exact same score especially since it’s 9-0.
strider15 - September 8, 2010
and in the same inning
CalBravesFan - September 8, 2010
just kidding
CalBravesFan - September 8, 2010
Fail....
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
they've had the same scores each inning i think
Jaymin Patel - September 8, 2010
I think we’ve converted the crowd.
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
Haha
:)
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
Sea Bass vs. Brian Bass
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
I knew something smelled fishy about that at bat
Jtpdolphins2009 - September 8, 2010
Still wish
someone would hit a homerun. Just to put the naysayers to bed
Jaymin Patel - September 8, 2010
what would it take to trade for brian bass?
BravesRaleigh - September 8, 2010
This will make the late plane trip home for the Braves better.
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
You bet....
and my trip to bed better :)
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
twss
Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010
Hey there! You just now joining us?
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
sister came down with brother-in-law, niece and nephew, and went to dinner. it’s amazing how cool a simple set of stairs can be when you’re 3.
Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010
Simple things are sometimes still the best :-)
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
i do like being an uncle. their cool little short people, they spent a good two hours up and down, and wouldn’t have stopped if we didn’t go to dinner (and they were great during dinner).
Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010
My theory is:
Better to spoil nieces/nephews than have any of your own. You can send them home at night :-)
It’s worked for me.
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
but if you ultimately do, payback is gonna suck, especially from my sister. As of today though, I certainly agree with your theory.
Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010
I’m sure kids are wonderful. They’re just not for me. Glad that’s one thing Hubby and I always agreed on.
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
i understand completely
Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010

HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
home sounds good for 7 games
we need to take advantage of this stretch

SuperHeyward - September 8, 2010
A lil mojo for the offense
going into a series versus the cards never hurt
CalBravesFan - September 8, 2010
Trivia time! Which MLB player has batted into the most outs (strikeouts, groundouts, etc) in the game this season?
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
Nate McLouth?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
Rick?

BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
You guys are way off. Derek Jeter. As of yesterday (I think) he made 432 outs, 17 more than the next person in line.
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
i CALLED JETEr
just took a second. leadoff, everyday, and the top of an order that comes to the plate a lot
Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010
You popped that up as I was typing.
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
and makes no sacrafices!
TCfromDubVee - September 8, 2010
Congrats
You are the Winnar!
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
what’s my prize
Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010
$50 gift cert to the Yankees clubhouse store.
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
or a clump of dirt
whichever is more valuable
Jtpdolphins2009 - September 8, 2010
That’s a terrible prize. You should’ve made it a gift certificate to the Phillies’ store.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
Vidro please?
BeatTehMets - September 8, 2010
HEY LOWE
we need a VIDRO!
TCfromDubVee - September 8, 2010
I approve
BeatTehMets - September 8, 2010
Hey Lowe, you got me on my knees, hey Lowe, won’t you help me ease my worried mind?
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
How did Rickie Weeks score?!!
Don’t they know this is the feast day
SuperHeyward - September 8, 2010

Bye Bye Lowe
Please BC, don’t leave him in next inning.
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
Moylan time?

With this lead
maybe…
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
Get Farns some work.
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
Kenshin please...
he can’t lose it. Then give Kimbrel the 9th.
Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010
Marlins are going to have to score now....
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
take him out
before it gets any worse
Jaymin Patel - September 8, 2010
I really miss Chipper and Medlen
BeatTehMets - September 8, 2010
I really miss Maddux and Smoltz
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
chipper's importance> maddux or smoltz
over the last 20 years, Chipper was our best hitter and some years only hitter
Jaymin Patel - September 8, 2010
Maddux had a 1.56 ERA in 1995
BeatTehMets - September 8, 2010
he had 3 great statistical years
and 95 was insane but that was one year
Jaymin Patel - September 8, 2010

Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010
how long do we leave him in with the bone chip and the huge lead? forgetting this inning it would be nice to get some more 4 innings of shutout and hopefully 2 more of the wheels not falling off down the stretch
15ks - September 8, 2010
With our 20 games without a day off - was the scheduler trying to insure a Philly pennant?
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
Seriously :(
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
Philly is ending a 24 game in 23 day stretch tonight (no days off).
Domonate - September 8, 2010
At least theirs is ending in Sept. and not starting.
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
cant blame the scheduler for....
losing a 10 run lead to the rockies, losing 2 games to Pittsburgh either
we have off days too and the Phillies won on thsoe days
Jtpdolphins2009 - September 8, 2010
True. But I was being more flippant and sarcastic than anything.
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
We’ve got up to 40 guys at our disposal. We should use that to our advantage.
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
Ya here Chip?!
Lee can get a W.

Lowe has exceeded my expectations tonight
A real pleasant surprise.
Bob Mackie - September 8, 2010
This
HEYJUDE - September 8, 2010
Truly the least likely Savior, Lowe is.
Joseph_C - September 8, 2010
Believe it or not, the Mets have the second-lowest ERA against the Phillies this year.
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010
Whose got the first?
Joseph_C - September 8, 2010
Cardinals
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010
LOL, Don says that if the pitcher turns and throws to first, Lowe should swing.

Can we have a homer
before this roadtrip ends? Just one is all I ask.
Cayla - September 8, 2010
will heyward reach .300
and if he does will he be denied ROY
Jaymin Patel - September 8, 2010
Everyone knows the Marlins deserve it.
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
the Marlins?
the whole team?
Jaymin Patel - September 8, 2010
That’s what those bleepers in the Marlins’ booth think.
BullManUGA - September 8, 2010
I want him to get up to .900 OPS.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
Anyone notice...
..with these throwback ballcaps for the Pirates…the shot from the back of the mound, it looks like they’re wearing swimming caps.
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
bases loaded again
Jtpdolphins2009 - September 8, 2010
there has to be a grand slam sooner or later…
Tom Salvesen - September 8, 2010

HOME RUN NOW
TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010

TonyAlmeyda - September 8, 2010
ugh
so much for that :/
Tom Salvesen - September 8, 2010
I hate it when he swings on the very first pitch. It look so unprofessional!
Joseph_C - September 8, 2010
Philly up 10-0…(as if we care)
Joseph_C - September 8, 2010
Bleep, Associate Bob died.

no longer perfect. The jinx prevailed.

It's all good.
In the future, just impose your jinxing powers on the other team.

Freddie & Brooksy in
ByrneSupremacy - September 8, 2010
You know, if Bobby wanted to get a look at Glaus at 3B, this would be the time to do it …
Lennox - September 8, 2010
I’d rather try him in this game rather than at home vs the Cardinals.

who is the MVP so far, it seems Lowe is doing what he knows tonight. Being a WINNAR.

Lowe, Lee and Infante are all MVPs tonight.

TCfromDubVee - September 8, 2010
you really are optimistic
Kobe:The Legend - September 8, 2010
pretty solid all around team effort tonight
everyone has been on base. Got to give the MVP to Lowe tonight though. Got out of a jam in the 1st, then settled in and pitched a solid game
leedawg - September 8, 2010
Just 14 hits in 6 innings against the Pirates? This is clearly not a playoff team.
VivaLosBravos - September 8, 2010
i boycotted the game and TC today cuz i was scared shitless to look at the score but i had to take a peek and now I'm in such a better mood
ATLBRVS_19 - September 8, 2010
Lowe really came up huge for us tonight
he gets a pat on the back and night free of criticism from me.
Bob Mackie - September 8, 2010
Agreed
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
Poor Mac. Robbed.

Lookey there – another K for Ankiel
(only the 2nd one for us tonight)

I’m shocked he just struck out……
leedawg - September 8, 2010
Proctor & Ross now in
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
AWESOME performance by Lowe.
Guess all the panic-mongering and speculation about his elbow looks pretty idiotic about now.
fandave - September 8, 2010
it's still a cause for concern though
just because he had 1 good outing doesn’t mean he can’t revert back into the form he was in for the past 2 months if the pain in his elbow returns
leedawg - September 8, 2010
1 for Proctor...
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
come on Bobby try Glaus at 3B NOW!
Kobe:The Legend - September 8, 2010
The Pirate’s broadcast’s sponsor is Labatt Blue Light… awesome.
MatM - September 8, 2010
I'd like KK in the 8th and 9th...
if he struggles, yank him and we’re still leading big. And you can feel justified in not using him again.
But if he did well, it might be a little confidence boost and get him in a better groove going forward.
Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010
Should we let Billy shake some cobwebs off before facing the Cards at home?
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
another idea...
how long has he been since his last time on the mound?
Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010
I’m thinking Florida…?

8 more runs please!
TCfromDubVee - September 8, 2010
FINALLY!!!
I was beginning to think the Marlins stopped playing. They just need 8 more runs…..and a better bullpen.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 8, 2010
a much better bullpen, they suck big time

Well we were both wrong
unfortunately.
Cayla - September 8, 2010
and both

can we let them borrow 6 runs?
leedawg - September 8, 2010
no
we need to win first
Braves24 - September 8, 2010
but it would give us an excuse
to use everyday venters and wags
leedawg - September 8, 2010
it doesn't make a difference
ventures is going to be used everyday anyway
Braves24 - September 8, 2010
venters
Braves24 - September 8, 2010
Marlins just like to torture us, I think.
Watch them take the lead and then immediately blow it.
Cayla - September 8, 2010

Hot Death Uno > Regular Uno
BeatTehMets - September 8, 2010
Regular Uno. Thats the only one I know.
jdmarine - September 8, 2010
Hot Death Uno
Isn’t for kids. It adds some colorful cards to the normal deck. Including my favorite the Glasnost card, forces you to play with your hand face up.
BeatTehMets - September 8, 2010
UNO is fun :-)
NCChopper - September 8, 2010

yes, yes. also a great tool for counting and colors :)

that was an ugly throw

joshant - September 8, 2010
1.50
king of games - September 8, 2010
i remember when it was something like 2.5
joshant - September 8, 2010
13 walks not helping that very much
leedawg - September 8, 2010
Seems odd looking at Troy’s right side.
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
that glove does not look like it fits
Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010
Nice pick by Freddie.
Cayla - September 8, 2010
Freeman saved that so-so throw by Troy

someone notice that Nate Robertson still has the Marlins cap
in the gameday

si

Dunn has impressive number during september
18 PA, 9 K, 2 BB, 2 H. .125 opp AVG

what is his IP?
Braves24 - September 8, 2010
5 IP
joshant - September 8, 2010
thanks
Braves24 - September 8, 2010
Kimbre for the 9th?
joshant - September 8, 2010
yes please
Braves24 - September 8, 2010
Kimbrel, Kawakami, Wagner or Farnsworth
for the 9th?
Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010
one out each
kimbrel will strike someone out on a wild pitch
15ks - September 8, 2010
It would be nice to get the truck keys out…
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
Oh well, maybe he left the keys in Atlanta ;-)
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
Your new avatar seems to have taken the keys
Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010
HaHaHa. Blame hubby. I explained it above. He took the photo at the ballpark.
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
I'm too lazy to go find it.
Nice pic though.
Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010
I was standing outside the Ted, at one of those big baseballs and this is the photo my hubby took. I didn’t even crop it..it’s the actual photo. He’s a stinker.
It has COX and the #6 on the back.
He said it would be a good avatar. I’ll use it a little while before going back to my old one.
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
Intentional, or is he just that bad?...
makes me think of Bittersweet Motel, the Phish documentary. They were on tour, in I think Europe. Fans would seem them, ask for the picture, and they’d take one with them, having one of the band take the picture and ALWAYS leave off the heads. I laughed for a bit, and then realized, that’s a pretty dick move.
Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010
He did it intentional. There were others – using zoom – let’s just say I had to delete those off the camera LOL. For privacy reasons, I’d have cropped my head off the avatar anyway, so I figured why not use it.
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
yeah, us hubby’s can have a strange sense of humor at times. but so long as it makes us laugh, right?
Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010
Riiiiight. ;-)
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
but still... the force is strong with him....
Hektor DiPaula - September 8, 2010
Number of the game so far...
2! Each pitcher has two strike outs…
UpstateNyBravesFan - September 8, 2010
brought to you by the Count,...
2, 2 smacks!
Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010
LOL
NCChopper - September 8, 2010
ahhh “Killing them softly” correct?
bpk228480 - September 8, 2010
yes
Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010
for what it's worth is better though
Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010
hmm..I don’t have that one..I’ll download it and see
bpk228480 - September 8, 2010
the first 30-45 minutes of it destroyed me...
homeless guy on a bus, aids, etc. it’s great (if you like him)
Mr. Sanchez - September 8, 2010
Definitely like him, have all the seasons on DVD

Kobe:The Legend - September 8, 2010
Can we keep things light
By making the headline of the recap something like, “Bobby Cox out to derail Infante’s batting title hopes” Then write like 3 paragraphs on the reckless decision to put conrad in for him. Then like 3 sentences about the game? You’re just gonna do a series recap right after you can talk about everything else there.
15ks - September 8, 2010
c'mon marlins!
TCfromDubVee - September 8, 2010
