April 25 Gamethread: Braves (Jurrjens) at Mets (Pelfrey)

[GrandMasterB]

what happened to Yunel? I've been out.

Hurt his finger bunting (http://www.ajc.com/services/content/sports/braves/stories/2008/04/25/escobar_0425.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=21).

[lavell12]

i say jair needs to throw a pitch high and right near the ump's face and mcann should somehow not catch it.

[JCStone7]

Great sportsmanship... :rolleyes:

[cjones1999]

A high Eephus?

[RockTheShow]

Great bounce back inning for Jair.

[JCStone7]

Great comeback Jair!!

Let's go heart of the order!

[DRbravesfan29]

Pinched a finger on a bunt, in for X-rays right now.

They say there was bleeding....OMG im worried....gulp...

[uofafan]

Good to see Jurrjens got his composer back

[Chop33]

did Jair complain to the ump? or get upset or anything?

no video for me :(

[cjones1999]

Good job Soap. Let's get it going Chip!

[GrandMasterB]

Time for me to win some BN Bux with a Teixeira home run. :nod:

[Nasadega]

i say jair needs to throw a pitch high and right near the ump's face and mcann should somehow not catch it.

Yeah he's so gonna get good calls from the ump that way!

[JCStone7]

did Jair complain to the ump? or get upset or anything?

no video for me :(

He spread his arms out like "what do you want" type of deal

[lavell12]

he "showed" the umpire up, but that ump deserved it, hell he screwed up three batters in a row.

[DRbravesfan29]

Per DOB:

X-rays NEGATIVE on Escobar. And in this case, of course, negative is positive.


Well that sounds good...

[RockTheShow]

They say there was bleeding....OMG im worried....gulp...


It could be a good thing we have Martin hitting as good as anyone, not named Chipper of course.

[Nasadega]

GO LARR-EEH

[jones2510]

lets go tex

[cjones1999]

meh. Come on Tex!

[GrandMasterB]

[DRbravesfan29]

Cmon Cann!!

Meh...at least we tied the game....Cmon Jair 1-2-3 here..cmon!!

[lavell12]

Is Kotsay hurt? Blanco is doing great but I'm suprised to see him starting in center two games in a row.

[JCStone7]

Is Kotsay hurt? Blanco is doing great but I'm suprised to see him starting in center two games in a row.

Stiff neck

[DRbravesfan29]

Is Kotsay hurt? Blanco is doing great but I'm suprised to see him starting in center two games in a row.

Cox precaution...but the one that he needs to sit at least 1 game is Frenchy!!!

[lavell12]

Stiff neck

okay, not sure i'd give him the job back right now.

[uofafan]

New game.

[JCStone7]

Cox precaution...but the one that he needs to sit at least 1 game is Frenchy!!!

Good luck with that one

[JCStone7]

So ... first pitcher hit, eh?

[DRbravesfan29]

Cmon Chippah!!!...

[JCStone7]

Let's go Chipper!

[Nasadega]

Suck it Reyes! That's what you get when you play tip-tap with your glove!

[Chop33]

So ... first pitcher hit, eh?

I believe they're on to something... it's as if something just happened, and possibly for the first time.

[Nasadega]

So ... first pitcher hit, eh?

For the .025 avg by the pitchers! :woot:

Schoensomething is in, it's time to blow it open!

[Chuck61686]

And so Cage lets the Braves outta the cage! :)

I'm so happy that JJ can get the win now...throwing a 2-hitter through five innings, yet not getting a win cuz of blown calls would be a tragedy.

[GrandMasterB]

So ... first pitcher hit, eh?

http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/106.gif

Could be.

[BF91]

Sorry I'm late boys, but I do see we're up! Any long balls so far? GO JAIR!!!!

[JCStone7]

Sorry I'm late boys, but I do see we're up! Any long balls so far? GO JAIR!!!!

Jair got hosed by the ump and Kage just hit a 2-run shot

[MPH]

I believe they're on to something... it's as if something just happened, and possibly for the first time.
uh ... you mean first time in 2008, right?

[Chop33]

KJ just hit a 2 run HR

[SamtheBravesFan]

Sorry I'm late boys, but I do see we're up! Any long balls so far? GO JAIR!!!!

Kage got one that just broke the tie. ;)

[DRbravesfan29]

Gah...hit hard but right at Beltran!!...Cmon Tex lets go!!!

[JCStone7]

Hit a homer for GMB Teix

[BF91]

Very nice, glad to see we're up at Shea!

[Chuck61686]

Sorry I'm late boys, but I do see we're up! Any long balls so far? GO JAIR!!!!

Well, the Braves could easily be ahead 5-0 right now...that ump blew several calls that allowed bases loaded walks...that's how all the Mets runs have scored.

[JCStone7]

Nice rip!

C'mon Heap

[DRbravesfan29]

WTG TEx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DRbravesfan29]

Cmon Mac!!!!

[RockTheShow]

Lets go Mac, extend it.

[BF91]

Well, the Braves could easily be ahead 5-0 right now...that ump blew several calls that allowed bases loaded walks...that's how all the Mets runs have scored.

Gah! They're all just jealous of the greatness that is Jair! But really, theres some good calls in games, and some bad ones. You just have to live with 'em both.

GO JAIR!!! :beer:

[Chop33]

uh ... you mean first time in 2008, right?

yes of course... first time ever [in 2008] :D

[dogmanx23]

BUST IT OPEN MCCANN!

A fight in a New York ballpark? No way! :eek:

[JCStone7]

A fight in a New York ballpark? No way! :eek:

It's Brnt247

[Chuck61686]

C'mon we need a hit here!!!
Let's put the game outta reach!!

[RockTheShow]

What, there is a fight in the NY bleachers? Bums...

[Nasadega]

Cohen and Hernandez not giving a damn about the game and watching the fight > :lol:

[Chuck61686]

A fight in a New York ballpark? No way! :eek:

WHAT? At SHEA of all ballparks?! No way dude!

[DRbravesfan29]

Bleh...but WERE UP!!! LEts go Jair!!!!!!

[lavell12]

about the people here drinking, what are you sipping on?

screwdriver right now for me.

[GrandMasterB]

But really, theres some good calls in games, and some bad ones.

And then there are the calls in Tim McClelland's postage stamp-sized strike zone.

[Chuck61686]

Subways aren't the only places you find rodents in New York. There's thousands of them at Shea Stadium.

[lavell12]

Is Boyer the closer for tonight? Acosta won't be available after pitching two innings yesterday.

[JCStone7]

And then there are the calls in Tim McClelland's postage stamp-sized strike zone.

Postage stamp??? Give him a little credit, at least the size of a checker

[MPH]

A fight in a New York ballpark? No way! :eek:
Ha ha, seeing the Braves leading the stinkin' Mutts drives their fans insane.

[Nasadega]

about the people here drinking, what are you sipping on?

screwdriver right now for me.
Ever tried with a straw?

[GrandMasterB]

about the people here drinking, what are you sipping on?

screwdriver right now for me.

Tea... with sugar.

Oh yeah, I'm really getting wild tonight!

[SamtheBravesFan]

Tea... with sugar.

Oh yeah, I'm really getting wild tonight!

Water... straight out of the fridge dispenser! WHOOHOO!

[JCStone7]

I'm drinking Southpaw...


nice play by Jair!

[Chuck61686]

Ha ha, seeing the Braves leading the stinkin' Mutts drives their fans insane.

Well, those rodents can enjoy an all-expenses paid visit to the steel motel tonight.

[lavell12]

Ever tried with a straw?


not for this guy.

[Nasadega]

Great throw by Jair!

[lavell12]

I think Rocker can be vindicated for what he said about the Mets fans and the weirdos in NY.

[BF91]

Isn't Stockman up for tonight's game to take up CJ's place?

[MPH]

Tea... with sugar.

Oh yeah, I'm really getting wild tonight!
Coffee for me - still early on this side of the planet.

[Chuck61686]

Is Boyer the closer for tonight? Acosta won't be available after pitching two innings yesterday.

Didn't Boyer pitch 2 innings last night too?
This means are top 2 are maybe unavailable...good thing JJ is still in there.

[GrandMasterB]

I'm drinking Southpaw...

What the... (http://www.braves-nation.com/forums/member.php?u=159)

Nope. Campillo and Acosta went two innings each.

[lavell12]

That was Wed, Capillo pitch 2 last night.

[JCStone7]

Yeah McClelland hates Jair

[uofafan]

Way to suck it up Jari

[Nasadega]

Another missed strike 3 :rolleyes:

[RockTheShow]

I would love to hear what Met fans said to Chipper as he was catching that ball.

[JCStone7]

w00t Jair with the best toughest 6 innings of his life

[MPH]

LMAO!

http://www.beercankorner.com/graphics/southpaw.gif
Ah, double-hopped!

[BF91]

If Stockman did get called up, I think he'd be used in the 7th/8th along with some combonation of Resucks and Ohman in the other inning. Of course followed by Acosta in the ninth.

[JCStone7]

I would love to hear what Met fans said to Chipper as he was catching that ball.

Well it's New York, the best thing they came up with is "Larr-eeeeeee"

[MTDrunk]

Have Southpaw but am drinking Natural Light at the moment.

[JCStone7]

[Chuck61686]

Resucks? You mean if we're up or down by six runs, right? I wouldn't dare let him in a game otherwise.

[MTDrunk]

Blasphemy!!

I'd rather drink Nati cold than Southpaw warm.

[BF91]

Have Southpaw but am drinking Natural Light at the moment.

Ugh, my dad drinks Natural...its far too watery. I know I'm only 16, shut up I've had a few here and there and only with family.

[JCStone7]

I'd rather drink Nati cold than Southpaw warm.

Well yes, cold beer trumps alll

[cjones1999]

Drinking and posting FTL.

[lavell12]

Have Southpaw but am drinking Natural Light at the moment.

i've got natty in the frige when i stop drinking vodka, my boy is in town so we went to buffalo wild wings and drink a lot.

[Nasadega]

Good at bat Frenchy staying off crappy pitches!

[JCStone7]

i've got natty in the frige when i stop drinking vodka, my boy is in town so we went to buffalo wild wings and drink a lot.

Nice parenting

[lavell12]

well we know that home plate umpire is drinking right along with us.

[Chuck61686]

Well it's New York, the best thing they came up with is "Larr-eeeeeee"

With all the psychos at Shea I'm surprised no one has tried jumping him (they'd be humiliated if that happened, anyways.)

I'd like to suggest that the beers at Shea be spiked with Haldol and Thorazine.

[GrandMasterB]

How generic could a name be? Joe Smith? C'mon, parents. Name him something cool... like Jair!

[lavell12]

Nice parenting

i know i should now better, oh well.

:beer: is to drinking and posting.

[JCStone7]

Gregor doing his best Larry impersonation

[DRbravesfan29]

Nice GEB!...kid is on fire!!!

[DRbravesfan29]

Cmon Kot!!!

[Nasadega]

Good job GeB
Show who's the boss Kotsay!

[JCStone7]

Nice Kotsay!!!!!! Cmon Kage bring him in!!!

[Nasadega]

Good job GeB
Show who's the boss Kotsay!
Thanks!

Do it again KJ!

[Chuck61686]

I just thought of a new Beer made specifically for Mets fans:

"Psychobrew! Specially fortified with a blend of Haldol and Thorazine to shut you up when the Mets are losing...and we added sertraline for those times you feel depressed when the Braves win!"

Sorry, I'm a pharmacist - I couldn't resist.

[lavell12]

man Chico Marx with another hit.

[uofafan]

Add some runs.

[Moylan #58]

How 'bout Blanco tonight :bow:

So gamethreads used to cover everything from the ridiculous to the sublime, but now cjones1999 adds a whole new dimension: the truly mundane.

KJ teeing off lefties, good news! Screw the platoon

[Moylan #58]

Hampton only pitched 3 innings for Richmond tonight

[Chop33]

I think KJ is after one of Sam's gold stars.

[DRbravesfan29]

Well got a 3-run lead...but what a night for KJ...BB,Sac,HR,3 RBI

[RockTheShow]

13 hits for us. 2 for them.

I like.

[JCStone7]

Hampton only pitched 3 innings for Richmond tonight

He wasn't scheduled to pitch more than 50 pitches

[GrandMasterB]

Hampton only pitched 3 innings for Richmond tonight

It was just a rehab start. They're not going to stretch him out real far like they would in a normal game.

[Moylan #58]

He wasn't scheduled to pitch more than 50 pitches
Oh, okay thanks.

[cjones1999]

beh. Oh well. Go Jair! (or whoever comes out of the pen)

[GrandMasterB]

beh. Oh well. Go Jair! (or whoever comes out of the pen)

Can't be Jair since they just pinch hit for him. :D

[dogmanx23]

Ohman 1,2,3 lets go

[RockTheShow]

O man...it's OHMAN!


It never really gets old...

[cjones1999]

Oh Man, it's an Ohman!

[dogmanx23]

good start

[MTDrunk]

Let's go Damien!

[DRbravesfan29]

Cmon Ohman!!

[SamtheBravesFan]

I think KJ is after one of Sam's gold stars.

At this rate, he'll certainly get it. :)

[cjones1999]

O man...it's OHMAN!

Oh Man, it's an Ohman!
Damn right!

[JCStone7]

Damn right!

To bad I said that first

[Nasadega]

Let's go Damien!
I'm doing my best!

[Moylan #58]

Any word on how long Escobar will be out?

[cjones1999]

To bad I said that first
You came up with that? I did not know....

[JCStone7]

C'mon Ohman!

[DRbravesfan29]

Gah...cmon Ohman DP here!!!

You came up with that? I did not know....

I think I did, not like it matters tho... :beer:

[cjones1999]

[RockTheShow]

[Moylan #58]

Oh man, Come on Ohman!

[jones2510]

[GrandMasterB]

If Chief was here to post the 7th Inning Stretch 80s Hit of the Day, I'm thinking that Walk This Way would have been a good choice for this game.

[dogmanx23]

One More Ohman LETS GO!

[DRbravesfan29]

Pheww!!!!!...cmon Oh man get the last one!!!

[JCStone7]

If Chief was here to post the 7th Inning Stretch 80s Hit of the Day, I'm thinking that Walk This Way would have been a good choice for this game.

[DRbravesfan29]

Nice ohman!!

[cjones1999]

Good turnaround Will!

[Chief Knockahoma]

If Chief was here to post the 7th Inning Stretch 80s Hit of the Day, I'm thinking that Walk This Way would have been a good choice for this game.

[BF91]

Really good outing for my boy Jair, if only the strikezone hadn't have been a strikespot he'd have a shutout.

[cjones1999]

Come on Chip! Insurance!

[RockTheShow]

Same place.

[DRbravesfan29]

[cjones1999]

OUR boy Jair!
Okay okay, quit fighting over custody.:)

[josephw000]

Blanco 3-4 tonight, Kots with a pinch hit and KJ turning on a few....looks good, but we may need some more runs with this in the hands of our bullpen and the middle of their order coming up.

[BF91]

OUR boy Jair!

Ok, sorry! OUR boy Jair! :beer:

[JCStone7]

Okay okay, quit fighting over custody.:)

[JCStone7]

IS Yunel ok by the way I see he got taken out?...

He's day-to-day with an injured finger on his glove hand

[gobravez]

IS Yunel ok by the way I see he got taken out?...

He hit his fingers on a bunt attempt... everything is fine, x-rays negative... listed day-to-day

[BF91]

IS Yunel ok by the way I see he got taken out?...

He fudged up his fingers on a bunt, he's day-to-day right now.

[JCStone7]

C'mon you GA surfer boy

[GrandMasterB]

He's day-to-day with an injured finger on his glove hand

I thought it was his throwing hand.

Boyer! Time to see some strikeouts.

[cjones1999]

2 more Blaine

[JCStone7]

I thought it was his throwing hand.

Boyer! Time to see some strikeouts.

I thought it was his bottom hand on the bat???
