[JCStone7]

Blanco hitting in front of Kotsay eh? Interesting

[vnodnarb]

Let's make it four in a row.

[Chief Knockahoma]

keep it going Bravos!

[Chopin_Mets]

Blanco hitting in front of Kotsay eh? Interesting

No, its my mistake. I submitted the lineups wrong to McCarroll. Its Kotsay then Blanco. I didn't catch it until it was too late. Sorry about that, folks!

[Mctaggart]

Love watching Jurrjens, hopefully we can keep the offense going.

[JCStone7]

Jason Michaels was DFA'd so it has to happen. How about.... :rolleyes:

[lavell12]

that is some great offensive threat that SD has in their lineup

[josephw000]

Adrian has 8 homers.....lol. We gotta pound these guys, I'm from San Diego, this team is garbage this year. Which of course means we're gonna have trouble with them.....

[JCStone7]

No, its my mistake. I submitted the lineups wrong to McCarroll. Its Kotsay then Blanco. I didn't catch it until it was too late. Sorry about that, folks!

It's all good, I fixed it, glad to see you back!

[Chopin_Mets]

Jim Edmonds is only hitting .181. Tadahito Iguchi is hitting .244. The Pads are strugglin!

[McCarroll21]

Woo! Keep up the winning ways. Get back over .500 and pull away.

Last series I said Huddy was trying to get step one of three to get a sweep. This time it falls on Jair.

Jair, Huddy and Jo-Jo need to go out there and keep us in the game and let our bats do the work. It'd be nice if we could be 3 games above .500 heading to Pennsylvania.

[JCStone7]

Jair, Huddy and Jo-Jo need to go out there and keep us in the game and let our bats do the work. It'd be nice if we could be 3 games above .500 heading to Pennsylvania.

It's crazy to think we haven't played Phillies yet!

[Chopin_Mets]

It's all good, I fixed it, glad to see you back!

Its good to be back...I've been living under a rock for a month working in Texas. While I was away, I was having to call MLB.TV every night because it was blacked out. They would get it fixed for THAT DAY, then I'd have to call back the next day and stay on hold for 30 minutes. I'm glad MLB has follow suit behind all the other great US based companies with TERRIBLE customer service!

[Nasadega]

Let's destroy Young just for the sake of him having a pic where he looks like a ghost!

[JCStone7]

Let's destroy Young just for the sake of him having a pic where he looks like a ghost!

Let's destroy Young for the sake of destroying Young!

[Chief Knockahoma]

Let's destroy Young for the sake of destroying Young!

i like it!

[cjones1999]

Let's destroy Young just for the sake of him having a pic where he looks like a ghost being tall as hell!
:nod:

[gobravez]

Jc, I love your new sig!

[Moylan #58]

I think it's safe to say that Blanco is our starting Left fielder for now, he needs to get that grip back on his bat, seems to hit better with it.

Go Braves!!

[charpotsss]

I think it's safe to say that Blanco is our starting Left fielder for now, he needs to get that grip back on his bat, seems to hit better with it.

Go Braves!!

I feel bad for Diaz...just like I did for Thorman, but it's good to see Blanco out there.

[Moylan #58]

I feel bad for Diaz...just like I did for Thorman, but it's good to see Blanco out there.
Yep, he's fun to watch :nod:

[McCarroll21]

I think it's safe to say that Blanco is our starting Left fielder for now, he needs to get that grip back on his bat, seems to hit better with it.

Go Braves!!
Platoon, not starter.

[Chief Knockahoma]

it's good to see that Bobby gave Matty a little time before panicking.

:rolleyes:

i know Diaz has sucked but damn.

[Chopin_Mets]

Diaz is hitting .462 against leftys...Thorman wasn't hitting against anyone: .228 vs right & .176 vs left

[BF91]

Let's go Jair!

[charpotsss]

Diaz is hitting .462 against leftys...Thorman wasn't hitting against anyone: .228 vs right & .176 vs left

Good point, which is why Mac was right that they're platooning, Blano's not the "starter."

[DRbravesfan29]

Go Jair!! :bravesflag1:

[jones2510]

Lets go Braves!!

I like DirectTV I get to see Chipper's interviews on sport south:D


:bravesflag2::chop:

[Nasadega]

:nod:
I'm 6'5 and I do not appreciate your post :mad:
:D

[DRbravesfan29]

Oh God....:eek:Soriano is not OK...*gulp*

[Chief Knockahoma]

it's been said before...but it has to be said again...Brian Jordan is absolutely horrid.

[Chopin_Mets]

I'm only going to make one post complaining about the fact that 5,138,223 people live in metro Atlanta, but not .5% (30,000) of the metro area can make it to a weekday game. Too bad folks in Atlanta have an early bed time. The Braves even moved up weekday games by 30 minutes for these folks. Anyway, this was my one attendance post...I'm finished.

[vnodnarb]

Oh God....:eek:Soriano is not OK...*gulp*

What's the update?

[BF91]

Oh, and I have visual confirmation of a Griffey-to-Atlanta comment. Its new up on MLBTradeRumors if any of you are interested in reading it.

[DRbravesfan29]

What's the update?

According to DOB...Had to stop his Bullpen....more soreness and is having an MRI and the same tests that he had when he signed his 2-year deal.:(

[josephw000]

LOL I love it, I'm on my way :)

[BF91]

LOL I love it, I'm on my way :)

Its not the subject, but the comment is in there clear as day.

[cjones1999]

I'm 6'5 and I do not appreciate your post :mad:
:D
Well I'm 5'8 and am telling you to......

:D

[zstipe]

Its not the subject, but the comment is in there clear as day.

I don't think it would be crazy to think that we could get him for Locke,Hanson, Schaefer, Heyward, and maybe Lilli.:cownana:

DC hasn't been hitting anywhere near 30k on weekday games, but they drew almost that on the Wednesday 4:35pm game against us last week. The night before drew 25k, I think, so there may something to having some afternoon weekday games. I haven't looked to see if we have any scheduled, but just a thought.

[Chopin_Mets]

When Wally Bell (Home Plate Umpire) walked onto the field, the first thing he did, before speaking to the coaches, was erase the catcher's box. That was kind of intriguing. I guess he doesn't enforce the catcher's box rule! lol

[BF91]

I don't think it would be crazy to think that we could get him for Locke,Hanson, Schaefer, Heyward, and maybe Lilli.:cownana:

What? No Rohrbaugh?

[Chopin_Mets]

Thursday is a getaway day. We'll see if the 1pm start helps.

[zstipe]

What? No Rohrbaugh?

Ahh what the hell! Throw him in too!

[jones2510]

Lets go Jair

[zstipe]

I don't think we have anyone to match up with Young in the paint.

[McCarroll21]

Not a good start for Jair. Come back and get them!

[ATlinVA]

yuck.

[dogmanx23]

Come Jurrjens u can do this :)

[zstipe]

Nice!

[cwg7v]

way to go Jair! two more just like that

[ATlinVA]

made him look like a fool!

[Nasadega]

Good job Jair

[josephw000]

I don't think we have anyone to match up with Young in the paint.

Sammons?

[Chopin_Mets]

Jair left that pitch belt high to Giles...he'll hammer that every time.

[zstipe]

He better jump on the first flight from Toledo or wherever the hell they are playing right now!

[DRbravesfan29]

Cmon Jair you can do it!!

[Mctaggart]

:mad::mad:

[cwg7v]

some of these balls don't look so bad, hopefully if Jair can stay in the same spots he'll get those calls later in the game

[charpotsss]

Andrew would've gotten that...

[zstipe]

All he has to do is keep the ball down and throw strikes, c'mon Jaaiiir.

[DRbravesfan29]

Agh!!!!!!

[Nasadega]

Why am I not surprised?

[colebert]

looks like blanco got scared of the wall.

[Mctaggart]

gotta score one to win the game anyways :P

[jones2510]

come on J.J. one more

[charpotsss]

Why am I not surprised?

He was bound to hit some trouble sooner or later. He's been digging shallow holes since he came up and gotten out of them with little to no damage. Hopefully he'll handle this one without getting in too deep.

[zstipe]

Andrew would've gotten that...

:shocker: lol

[McCarroll21]

The pitch Gonzo hit wasn't a bad pitch, but you can't get behind to these guys.

[Nasadega]

Let's get that run back, and another one or two while we're there!

[colebert]

gotta score one to win the game anyways :P

West Arkansas Represent!!

[Nasadega]

He was bound to hit some trouble sooner or later. He's been digging shallow holes since he came up and gotten out of them with little to no damage. Hopefully he'll handle this one without getting in too deep.
I was more talking about the fact that a team of AA sluggers got two doubles of us, but there's some truth in your post :)

[Chief Knockahoma]

if Francoeur goes off...McCarroll has to write more opinion pieces like the one today

[colebert]

someone should fire that camera man.

not one attractive female in that return shot.

[Chopin_Mets]

Andruw would've gotten that...

...three years ago :D

[McCarroll21]

West Arkansas Represent!!
I've got Eastern Arkansas on lockdown, you've got the central and the other Mc has the west. We're good to go!

[McCarroll21]

if Francoeur goes off...McCarroll has to write more opinion pieces like the one today
I'll be happy to look like an ass if he can help us keep winning.

[Mctaggart]

West Arkansas Represent!!

:), was just in LR a few weekends ago watching the travelers/naturals game

[Chief Knockahoma]

solid hit from Yunel

[Chief Knockahoma]

I'll be happy to look like an ass if he can help us keep winning.

you and me both boss.

[jones2510]

nice yunel, lets go chipper!

[Chopin_Mets]

Yunel Escobar was hitting .408 in first inning at bats before that single. Why isn't he leading off again?

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Larry

[McCarroll21]

w00t! Yunel doing his thing. Do your thing Larry (you've spoiled us this year).

[Nasadega]

87mph flat fastballs, how Young gets away so well with that is beyond me.
GO LARRY

[Chief Knockahoma]

do it Mark

[Chief Knockahoma]

rough slide by Yunel

[charpotsss]

I was more talking about the fact that a team of AA sluggers got two doubles of us, but there's some truth in your post :)

Ah yeah were you the one who said earlier we'd struggle against them because they suck? (or something to that effect)

[Mctaggart]

hit plz

[JCStone7]

C'mon Teix!

[DRbravesfan29]

Cmon Big Tex!

[Moylan #58]

Why is Brian Jordan in the booth??

[jones2510]

lets go tex

[JCStone7]

Why is Brian Jordan in the booth??

It's Ron Gant

[McCarroll21]

Why is Brian Jordan in the booth??
It's Ron Gant and because Joe had surgery.

[JCStone7]

C'mon Jair, start mowin' em down!

[Moylan #58]

It's Ron Gant and because Joe had surgery.
Oh, I knew something was different.

[DRbravesfan29]

Cmon Jair Lets GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JCStone7]

The Whiff!

[cwg7v]

that's a good way to start the inning

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Jair

[cwg7v]

i really wish jair would stop getting behind these hitters. yes it seem to be alright for now, but it can't stay that way

[JCStone7]

Go right at him Jair, big strike zone to work with!

[Chief Knockahoma]

i'm not a fan of the sand colored Padres uniforms.

[JCStone7]

Atta boy Jair! Go get em O!

[Nasadega]

Go right at him Jair, big strike zone to work with!

Now I know how opposing pitchers feel when I play baseball and step in my box :D It doesn't stop me from getting hits though :)

[ATlinVA]

i'm not a fan of the sand colored Padres uniforms.
camo fan?

[Chief Knockahoma]

camo fan?

eh....not really.

[McCarroll21]

Let's score please.

[JCStone7]

C'mon Heap get it started!

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go McCann

[jones2510]

lets go jeff

[DRbravesfan29]

Cmon Offense Lets go!!

[cjones1999]

C'mon Mac!

[Chief Knockahoma]

[McCarroll21]

Wofrada starting on Thursday!

[JCStone7]

Haha... Wofrada starts the last game of the series!

[Chief Knockahoma]

and here we go

[JCStone7]

Jeff is pulling his head off the ball....

[McCarroll21]

Just a quick question, but does anyone like the new ads? The Chitika ones? The only thing I don't like about them is that they only pay for clicked ads, not viewed. They are more relevant to the site though, so I like them in that sense.

[Nasadega]

Boo almost ripped that one fair!

[Chief Knockahoma]

there you go Jeff, keep making the red guys look stupid.

[JCStone7]

Atta boy Frenchy!!!

[jones2510]

woot! jeff

[McCarroll21]

and here we go

Jeff is pulling his head off the ball....
So does that mean he only made me look like half an ass? :)

[Chief Knockahoma]

keep it going Kots!

[JCStone7]

there you go Jeff, keep making the red guys look stupid.

Easily done, as are the purple guys :D

[Nasadega]

Frenchy with the 3.000 OPS after hatin' articles :woot:

[JCStone7]

So does that mean he only made me look like half an ass? :)

Only on that fastball down the heart of the plate

[Chief Knockahoma]

Easily done, as are the purple guys :D

yeah yeah yeah! :D

[McCarroll21]

I think they should show Kotsay's wife more often.

[cjones1999]

I think they should show Kotsay's wife more often.
x2!

[GrandMasterB]

So does that mean he only made me look like half an ass? :)

Looks like he read your article. :D

Easily done, as are the purple guys :D

Hey, hey! Easy now.

[jones2510]

lets go kotsay

[JCStone7]

C'mon Kotsay!

[Chief Knockahoma]

good job Kots!

[colebert]

W00T!!

[JCStone7]

Golden boy with the run :D

[Mctaggart]

wooot!

[McCarroll21]

w00t! I like this Mark Kotsay.

[jones2510]

woot!!!! kotsay 1-1

[JCStone7]

w00t! I like this Mark Kotsay.

So can we expect an article?

[cjones1999]

C'mon Geb!

[Chief Knockahoma]

Chris Young sucks.

[colebert]

Jeff Francouer has a wide stance?

[McCarroll21]

So can we expect an article?
At some point. Next Monday night/Tuesday I'll get someone. Probably whoever I'm more pissed at at the time.

[JCStone7]

C'mon Gregor (BTW I refuse to call him Geb)

[Chief Knockahoma]

hell yes!

good job boys!

[JCStone7]

At some point. Next Monday night/Tuesday I'll get someone. Probably whoever I'm more pissed at at the time.

Francoeur again?

[Moylan #58]

Blanco!!

[Nasadega]

Kotsyay! Braves lead

[GrandMasterB]

Chris Young sucks.

As long as he's giving up runs, that doesn't bother me.

[colebert]

Is that bob wickman playing left field?

[jones2510]

nice blanco

[McCarroll21]

Woo! Let's go Jair!

[Chief Knockahoma]

(BTW I refuse to call him Geb)

i think that phase has passed...dude has been raking!

[Chief Knockahoma]

As long as he's giving up runs, that doesn't bother me.

agreed.

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Kelly

[McCarroll21]

Francoeur again?
LOL! Nah.

[JCStone7]

Jair moving the runner over!

[Nasadega]

At some point. Next Monday night/Tuesday I'll get someone. Probably whoever I'm more pissed at at the time.

Francoeur fans proving you wrong? :D

[cjones1999]

Let's go Sparky!

[JCStone7]

C'mon Kelly!!!

[Chief Knockahoma]

so uh...we're winning.

[Mctaggart]

go ball!!!!111 :(

[Rip4144]

Come on Kelly (our other average player)

[charpotsss]

ugh. announcers can be so misleading.

[McCarroll21]

Boo! Kelly's had a lot of hard hit balls near somebody. I think he's lined out to the 2nd baseman more than anyone this year.

[JCStone7]

so uh...we're winning.

Hopefully the offense won't give Jair his normal 2 runs to work with....AGAIN!

[JCStone7]

ugh. announcers can be so misleading.

You must be talking about Pete Van Wieren :rolleyes:

[cjones1999]

Alright, come on Jair.

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Jair

[DRbravesfan29]

Cmon Jair!!

[McCarroll21]

I really wish Marcus would have turned out better for the Padres.

[jones2510]

dp

[GrandMasterB]

You must be talking about Pete Van Wieren :rolleyes:

Actually, he's not working the game tonight. Skip's on the radio by himself.

EDIT: Chip's on there too. Why was he not talking until now? :confused:

[JCStone7]

WTF Brian?!?

[JCStone7]

Actually, he's not working the game tonight. Skip's on the radio by himself.

Which is why Chuck hasn't made an appearance I'm sure.

[JCStone7]

According to the AP Zito goes back to the rotation on Wednesday

[Chopin_Mets]

Actually, he's not working the game tonight. Skip's on the radio by himself.

Chip is in the booth with him.

[DRbravesfan29]

Cmon Jair get DP!

[charpotsss]

I really wish Marcus would have turned out better for the Padres.

Same here. I hate seeing guys struggle, in Atlanta or after they leave.

[GrandMasterB]

Chip is in the booth with him.

Yeah, I just edited it. He doesn't seem to be talking much. :confused:

[Chief Knockahoma]

sit down Adrian!

[JCStone7]

w00t Jair is pumped up! 95 MPH

[Chief Knockahoma]

49 pitches through 3 innings.

[JCStone7]

49 pitches through 3 innings.

He can get thru 6 easily!

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Yunel

[Rip4144]

I think 13 to 15 pitches per inning is what you want from a pitcher.

[JCStone7]

C'mon Esco!

[Chopin_Mets]

Yeah, I just edited it. He doesn't seem to be talking much. :confused:

I was thinking...Skip, by himself????? He can barely make it through a game with help at his age!

[Chief Knockahoma]

nice start to the inning!

[JCStone7]

Esco is raking!

[Nasadega]

Esco-Larry : best 2-3 punch in the majors?

[Chopin_Mets]

Escobar leads off then inning with a single...just like he should do in the first inning! :D

[McCarroll21]

Well... Chipper's 0-for-1 so the law of averages say he's going to go 4 for his next 9.

[McCarroll21]

Well... Chipper's 0-for-1 so the law of averages say he's going to go 4 for his next 9.
Right on cue.

He's spoiled us!

[Chief Knockahoma]

Larry says eff this noise!

APACHE! JUMP ON IT! JUMP ON IT! JUMP ON IT!

[JCStone7]

:woot: Chipper is raking too!

[Mctaggart]

[jones2510]

[charpotsss]

MVP! MVP! MVP!

[JCStone7]

Is that legal?

[Nasadega]

Esco-Larry : best 2-3 punch in the majors?

Larry answering with the bat!

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Mark

[Chief Knockahoma]

do it McCann

[JCStone7]

C'mon Heap!

[cwg7v]

Chipper is tearing the cover off the ball. It's not really fair to opposing pitchers. I feel bad for anyone who has to face him

[Rip4144]

Chipper has been ripping it for year and a half.

[JCStone7]

C'mon Francoeur, make Mac look like an @$$

[jones2510]

lets go jeff

[McCarroll21]

C'mon Francoeur, make Mac look like an @$$
Maybe it'll make the Padres like him and trade for him. :D

[Chief Knockahoma]

that was an ugly strike 3 swing.

4 - 1 Bravos!

[JCStone7]

Maybe it'll make the Padres like him and trade for him. :D

Ugh, that means I'll have to like 2 NL West teams :throwup:

[DRbravesfan29]

Atta Boy Jeffy!! Good Boy!!!

[ATlinVA]

How long does Chipper have to hit .400 with power before he doesn't see pitches to hit?

[JCStone7]

How long does Chipper have to hit .400 with power before he doesn't see pitches to hit?

Well pick your poison... Chipper or Teix

[JCStone7]

Atta boy Jair!

[Chief Knockahoma]

nice start to the inning!

[Moylan #58]

I like the Padres uni's

[Chief Knockahoma]

yeah, it might also help when Kent Hrbek is pulling people off first base.

[McCarroll21]

Mark Kotsay!

[Mctaggart]

paul mccartney strikes again

[JCStone7]

yeah, it might also help when Kent Hrbek is pulling people off first base.

Or Lonnie Smith forgetting how to base-run

[Chief Knockahoma]

Or Lonnie Smith forgetting how to base-run

good point Stoney, good point.

[JCStone7]

Ride some pine meat!

[Nasadega]

The answer to the trivia question is Jeff Francoeur. Because he's the golden boy, each of Jeff's assists count at 10 times a regular assist.

[Chief Knockahoma]

yeah, i totally didn't forget that because it was like two weeks ago.

[GrandMasterB]

Well pick your poison... Chipper or Teix

Nothing against Teixeira, but the way Chipper is swinging the bat, I'd much rather face Mark at the moment.

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Kots

[JCStone7]

Nothing against Teixeira, but the way Chipper is swinging the bat, I'd much rather face Mark at the moment.

I know right, but still doesn't hurt to have a guy who can hit it a country mile either..... so pick your poison

[Chief Knockahoma]

Kots is on fire!

[JCStone7]

:woot: Mark Kotsay

[GrandMasterB]

Kotsay doing his best Chipper Jones impression.

[Mctaggart]

boooooom!

[Moylan #58]

Man, Kotsay is money!

[jones2510]

woot! kotsay

[Nasadega]

Mark Kotsyay = Andruw Jones x 3

That was a textbook at bat by the way

[Chief Knockahoma]

Andr-who?

[DRbravesfan29]

JUmp on that one Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cjones1999]

Woo! Kots! Come on Geb!

[dogmanx23]

WOOT KOTSAY!

[cwg7v]

kotsay is proving to have been a GREAT pick up this off-season. kudos to the front office

[McCarroll21]

So, I like this Mark Kotsay dude.

[BravesFan7689]

Way to go Kots. So glad to actually have some production from center field unlike last year.

[Chief Knockahoma]

Devine has been dealing out in Oakland.

[Chopin_Mets]

By the way, Pete is here tonight, he's just watching the game and taking the night off.

[Rip4144]

How many hr's ahead of Jones

[JCStone7]

Look at Jair!!!
