Hudson pitched 7 2/3 strong innings, allowing one run on five hits, and was in line for the victory until an error with two outs in the ninth. Hudson walked four (one shy of his season high) and struck out three. On a hot and humid night, Hudson said he nearly ran out of gas and decided it would be best if he was taken out with two outs in the eighth and a lefty at the plate. The only run he gave up Friday came on an RBI groundout. He has pitched at least six innings in each of his past four starts.</td></tr><tr><td class="thead" align="center">Carlos Zambrano, CHC</td></tr><tr><td class="smallfont" bgcolor="#e3e3e3">The Cubs tweaked the rotation to keep Zambrano on five days rest, and moved him up. But hide the Gatorade coolers. Zambrano lost the game and his temper in his last start against the Dodgers. He had a 3-2 lead going into the seventh, and the Dodgers scored on a throwing error, a RBI single by Russell Martin and a three-run homer by Matt Kemp. Then he kicked and tossed the coolers in the visitor's dugout. For the game, Zambrano gave up seven runs on 13 hits over 6 2/3 innings, striking out six. Manager Lou Piniella says he doesn't mind the emotion, as long as nobody gets hurt. Zambrano could've blamed his teammates, but blamed himself.</td></tr></tbody></table><table class="tborder" border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" width="500"><tbody><tr><td class="tcat" colspan="4" align="center"><span class="smallfont"><strong>AccuScore Game Forecast</strong></span></td></tr><tr><td class="smallfont" align="center" bgcolor="#e3e3e3"><script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript"><!-- var f0=new flashObj(); f0.flashFile="http://assets.espn.go.com/swf/mlb/accuscore_mlb.swf"; f0.flashVars="&XMLURL=http://espn.go.com/mlb/accuscore/280612116.xml"; f0.ID = "as_280612116"; f0.width = "480"; f0.height = "320"; f0.DenyIEdl = "TRUE"; f0.FlashVer = 7; f0.cabVersion = "7,0,0,0"; f0.altTxt = "Flash Player Required"; f0.render(true); // --></script><embed src="http://assets.espn.go.com/swf/mlb/accuscore_mlb.swf" swliveconnect="FALSE" quality="best" scale="exactfit" flashvars="&XMLURL=http://espn.go.com/mlb/accuscore/280612116.xml" wmode="opaque" id="as_280612116" name="flash3" menu="false" devicefont="false" salign="lt" allowscriptaccess="Always" allownetworking="All" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" height="320" width="480"></td></tr></tbody></table>

[HTF]

Throwbacks FTW, what a great line-up....

[DRbravesfan29]

i just dont understand....how does Bobby expect different results with the same lineup every single day that hasnt done the job...just amazing...

[JCStone7]

New stat, the Braves are 0-2 in 5-run games against the Cubs in Chicago :eek:

[McCarroll21]

Just throwing this out there, but when we were down 7-0 last night in the third inning and then Ridgeway came in and did his thing; I said to myself, this seems like one of those games that just puts you against the wall and then all hell breaks loose, but then sparks a prolonged streak, like running off 25 of 30 or something.

So anyway, as I continue to bash on how bad this team is right now, I just thought I'd throw it out there that if we do go on a long streak starting today, I called it beforehand.

You should try reverse reverse psychology with the Braves thumb down avatar!

I agree, but you would've thought one of those moments of clarity would've came already. Today is make or break IMO, got Huddy on the mound with a tough series coming up.

[brnt247]

Man do I love having Ryan Doumit back and on my fantasy team. 4 HR in 3 days from the catcher position is extremely rare.

[gobravez]

welp...please get a win today guys.

[Moylan #58]

Why is America's Favorite Home Videos on PTV?

[WaltDeezy]

Why is America's Favorite Home Videos on PTV?

Probably the same reason something about the boston marathon is on CSS here, looks like I'll be watching the WGN coverage

[Moylan #58]

Same here.

[gobravez]

crap...CSS isn't showing the game for some reason so im gonna have to watch WGN

[McCarroll21]

Why is America's Favorite Home Videos on PTV?
Since it's a weird start time, they may be playing something before the game gets started. On Directv, I'm seeing a picture from Wrigley on a high camera. Just wait until closer to 2:20.

[HTF]

Guys CSS just put up a message saying the game will be on at 2:15, doesn't start till 2:20

[gobravez]

Guys CSS just put up a message saying the game will be on at 2:15, doesn't start till 2:20

Thanks.

[Moylan #58]

PTV game comes on at 2:15

[GrandMasterB]

Hey, guys, we need a win today. kthxbai.

[JCStone7]

Mac maybe you should use the "On the Road Again" song in these gamethreads like the Protect this House one. Just got to alter the lyrics.

"I effing hate being on the road again" :thumbsup:

[gobravez]

WGN is going black and white for the first few innings.

[HTF]

Anyone gonna watch in black and white on WGN? I might just to do it, can't hurt anything.

[McCarroll21]

Mac maybe you should use the "On the Road Again" song in these gamethreads like the Protect this House one. Just got to alter the lyrics.

"I effing hate being on the road again" :thumbsup:
Did you catch the song from yesterday?

[Moylan #58]

WGN looks pretty cool.

[gobravez]

Ok, this is pretty awesome. They all have their socks up.

[McCarroll21]

The high socks are going to do it for us!

[gobravez]

PTV game is coming on now.

[BravesfaninNC]

Here come the on PTV

[JCStone7]

Did you catch the song from yesterday?

Kumbayah?

[GrandMasterB]

Did you catch the song from yesterday?

LOL! I just went back and listened to it. Perfect song for this season. Now, someone get busy making a video of Braves highlights (or lowlights) with that song playing in the background. :thumbsup:

[McCarroll21]

What you wanna bet that Zambrano goes high and tight on Escobar to start the game?

[gobravez]

Kumbayah?

No, Johhny Cash - Hurt.

[GrandMasterB]

I think we should have brought Michael Barrett in just for this game so he could stare down Zambrano from the bench and tick him off.

[HTF]

What you wanna bet that Zambrano goes high and tight on Escobar to start the game?

I seriously want to see some fireworks, we need it.

[BravesfaninNC]

Do you guys think we will see a fight today after Bennett he Hit Soriano last night.Hopefully we will see a fight today so the braves can wake up

[gobravez]

I think we should have brought Michael Barrett in just for this game so he could stare down Zambrano from the bench and tick him off.

Oh hell yeah. I like the way you think.

[McCarroll21]

I think we should have brought Michael Barrett in just for this game so he could stare down Zambrano from the bench and tick him off.
Edmonds standing in center already does that.

[PhantomsCV]

great graphics on WGN!!!!

[GrandMasterB]

All you guys wanting a fight are nuts. Like we don't have enough injuries already.

[JCStone7]

All you guys wanting a fight are nuts. Like we don't have enough injuries already.

How about a staged fight like ASU?

[HTF]

All you guys wanting a fight are nuts. Like we don't have enough injuries already.

If you can't take a punch you don't deserve to be in MLB.

[McCarroll21]

The Cubs jerseys look sweet.

[PhantomsCV]

wow, that's amazing, AMAZING graphics on WGN.

[brnt247]

can they make it not black and white?

[GrandMasterB]

If you can't take a punch you don't deserve to be in MLB.

Chipper would break into little pieces.

[gobravez]

Is erik Paterson related to Corey? lol

[McCarroll21]

Is erik Paterson related to Corey? lol
Brother.

[gobravez]

LOL Chip showing his Cubs love. Oh god.

[JCStone7]

Chipper would break into little pieces.

And still would be better than our OF

[BravesfaninNC]

Chipper would break into little pieces.
Does not mean that Chipper has to get into Fight it could be other guys who get into Fight

[HTF]

whoa this camera angle sucks

[McCarroll21]

LOL! He wsa in the wrong thread. I moved it here.

brnt, they'll be black and white for the first two innings on WGN.

[brnt247]

Holy hell, i wanna watch the game...

[McCarroll21]

Chicago Bears cap? lol

[PhantomsCV]

that camera angle is wtf weird.

[GrandMasterB]

Don't mean Chipper has to get into Fight it could be other guys who get into Fight

Good point. It could be like a hockey fight. Keep Chipper back and throw Francoeur and Corky out there.

[brnt247]

Kelly's stance is really wide.

[WaltDeezy]

I wanted to watch the WGN footage for a bit, but i cant handle the angles

[JCStone7]

C'mon kelly

[JCStone7]

Stay hot Chipper

[PhantomsCV]

I wanted to watch the WGN footage for a bit, but i cant handle the angles

It gives a new perspective on the game. I've never seen pitch by pitch in this angle.

[brnt247]

The reason we don't watch games like this anymore, is because it sucks to watch a game like this.

[BravesfaninNC]

Woot Chipper

[Moylan #58]

Sweet..

[gobravez]

Chippah gettin the breaks!

[brnt247]

What the hell happened there?

[HTF]

thats not what he needed...

[GrandMasterB]

This just in -- Chipper Jones is better than you. Even when he hits it 75 feet, he gets on base.

[McCarroll21]

These are the socks that Andruw was trying to go for a few years back, Furcal too?

I really like them. I hope they'll keep the socks.

[brnt247]

Remember the year we had these socks, they were gross.

[BravesfaninNC]

This angles look so weird

[JCStone7]

w00t Chipper... blast one Teix!

[brnt247]

These are the socks that Andruw was trying to go for a few years back, Furcal too?

I really like them. I hope they'll keep the socks.

We have opposite opinions haha.

[McCarroll21]

Remember the year we had these socks, they were gross.
ugh! You can't say that! I liked them, still do.

[HTF]

We're the Cleveland Cavs of MLB, one star player, the rest average joes.

[WaltDeezy]

ok, goal for next inning... hit the ball out of the infield

[JCStone7]

Typical 1st inning, Chipper does work everyone else not so much

[McCarroll21]

ok, goal for next inning... hit the ball out of the infield
Easier said that done against Zambrano.

[GrandMasterB]

We're the Cleveland Cavs of MLB, one star player, the rest average joes.

Except Chipper, by himself, can't carry the team to the Finals (Series in this case).

[HTF]

Let's go Huddy be the ace your supposed to be.

[WaltDeezy]

Easier said that done against Zambrano.

Definitely

[JCStone7]

Do it Huddy!

[brnt247]

There were no Escobar's or Blanco's in 1948, give them Yunel Erics and Greg White.

[McCarroll21]

What? Teams use an extra bat when they're going to use a DH? We stick to our awesome four man bench ... or well, three men and Corky.

[HTF]

What? Teams use an extra bat when they're going to use a DH? We stick to our awesome four man bench ... or well, three men and Corky.

We could always bring up Thorman :(

[JCStone7]

There were no Escobar's or Blanco's in 1948, give them Yunel Erics and Greg White.

Nor were there Derrek Lee's, Aramis Ramirez's, Geovany Soto's, or Kosuke Fukudome's... sorry cubbies you're all disqualified :cool:

[GrandMasterB]

Wonder why they're not giving Pie another shot, instead of Patterson. Either they've really soured on him already or that twisted testicle (:lol:) is lingering on.

[Moylan #58]

Those hats are knock offs, there is no MLB seal on the back.

[JCStone7]

What? Teams use an extra bat when they're going to use a DH? We stick to our awesome four man bench ... or well, three men and Corky.

What are you talking about Corky is on fire, he's 1 for his last 1!

[WaltDeezy]

What are you talking about Corky is on fire, he's 1 for his last 1!

With a 5.000 OPS!

[McCarroll21]

We could always bring up Thorman :(
Could have just kept Anderson up.

[BravesfaninNC]

What are you talking about Corky is on fire, he's 1 for his last 1!:lol:

[PhantomsCV]

What are you talking about Corky is on fire, he's 1 for his last 1!

HE WAS ALLLLLL OF OUR OFFENSE LAST NIGHT!

[McCarroll21]

Those hats are knock offs, there is no MLB seal on the back.
Back then everything wasn't about making money; Cubs are selling soda's today for $0.75.

[cjones1999]

I like the black and white coverage we are getting.

[McCarroll21]

HE WAS ALLLLLL OF OUR OFFENSE LAST NIGHT!
He's a stud.

[JCStone7]

Back then everything wasn't about making money; Cubs are selling soda's today for $0.75.

Should've sold beer for that much then we'll see some brawls, in the bleachers tho :D

[HTF]

Could have just kept Anderson up.

yeah true but what was he really doing, him and Blanco were ineffective, I'd rather have Anderson though.

[BravesfaninNC]

Could have just kept Anderson up.Hopefully it won't be long before Anderson is call up.I thought he did a great job

[WaltDeezy]

1-2-3, way to field your position timmy

[McCarroll21]

yeah true but what was he really doing, him and Blanco were ineffective, I'd rather have Anderson though.
Give us more than three real outfielders on the roster?

[HTF]

Good Inning Huddy, cmon Mac you're our only hope.

[PhantomsCV]

So how long is WGN doing the black and white stuff?

[McCarroll21]

So how long is WGN doing the black and white stuff?
Two innings.

[HTF]

Give us more than three real outfielders on the roster?

I still don't understand why we have 13 pitchers for 3 of them to just sit for 5 straight games.

[BravesfaninNC]

So how long is WGN doing the black and white stuff?
Just 1 more Inning then we are back to 2008 ones agian:)

[BravesfaninNC]

Good Ab Cann

[WaltDeezy]

lets go franc

[cjones1999]

Nice Mac! Let's go Jeffery!

[gobravez]

Frenchy????

[McCarroll21]

Are you kidding me?

[Moylan #58]

Wow,

[cjones1999]

Nice Frenchy!

[WaltDeezy]

ATTA BOY FRENCHY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HTF]

OMG, did that just really happen?

[BravesfaninNC]

What does Jeff hater have to Say now?

[McCarroll21]

Norton's about to get plunked!

[PhantomsCV]

w00t frenchy!

[brnt247]

Woo! Francoeur!

[GrandMasterB]

:clap:

There's your runs, Huddy.

[JCStone7]

Please tell me Frenchy just went deep!

[Moylan #58]

Jeff's swing actually worked there..

[PhantomsCV]

What does Jeff hater have to Say now?

1 at bat doesn't repair a season.

[jschafer5]

Holy shit Jeffrey.

[DRbravesfan29]

you have to be kidding...thats not frenchy...

[BravesfaninNC]

Please tell me Frenchy just went deep!The 1948 Frenchy just made it 2-0 braves

[McCarroll21]

That's the swing Jeff needs to keep. :) That was the swing he's been taking to shoot balls back up the middle.

[GrandMasterB]

Norton's about to get plunked!

Right in the kisser?

[gobravez]

Please tell me Frenchy just went deep!

No, He grounded into a dp.

[WaltDeezy]

What does Jeff hater have to Say now?

Not a hater, hes actually my favorite player, but I am a realist and I say keep that shit up

[BravesfaninNC]

1 at bat doesn't repair a season.true but he also had a great ab in top 7

[PhantomsCV]

Right in the kisser?


pow, right in the kisser.

[JCStone7]

No, He grounded into a dp.

Gamecast finally caught up and I saw it.... @$$!

[brnt247]

Can't even tell what swing it was, coudlnt even see the ball. Laptop+game+black and white+ weird angles=wacky game.

[gobravez]

Gamecast finally caught up and I saw it.... @$$!

LOL!

[McCarroll21]

Huddy!

[Moylan #58]

Huddy!!

[BravesfaninNC]

Woot Huddy

[gobravez]

nice hit Huddy!!!!

[WaltDeezy]

atta boy timmy, get through the order for the next inning

[brnt247]

Yeh Hudd!

[McCarroll21]

LOL! We have four hits. A roller by Chipper, a single from McCann. Then a homer from Jeff and a single from Huddy and Chip says, "clearly Zambrano doesn't have his ace stuff."

What pitcher has been getting Chipper and McCann out for the last month? The homer from Jeff sealed it!

[BravesfaninNC]

:nod:Not a hater, hes actually my favorite player, but I am a realist and I say keep that shit upI was asking other guys

[gobravez]

Edmonds sucks.

[GrandMasterB]

Gamecast finally caught up and I saw it.... @$$!

In that case, they're calling him out for too much pine tar on his bat. :D

[JCStone7]

LOL! We have four hits. A roller by Chipper, a single from McCann. Then a homer from Jeff and a single from Huddy and Chip says, "clearly Zambrano doesn't have his ace stuff."

He feels bad for us

[cjones1999]

Wrigley Field should stay black and white.

[PhantomsCV]

So them Cubbies only won a World Series like 40 years ago

[McCarroll21]

I was more asking other guys
Did you get my answer? He keeps that swing for more than one at-bat, we're going good. However, like Furcal used to do, if Jeff's history tells us anything, now he's going to be swinging for the fences and coming up empty.

[McCarroll21]

So them Cubbies only won a World Series like 40 years ago
:lol:

[brnt247]

The annoucer is telling me how he misses '08 television..

[BravesfaninNC]

Did you get my answer? He keeps that swing for more than one at-bat, we're going good. However, like Furcal used to do, if Jeff's history tells us anything, now he's going to be swinging for the fences and coming up empty.
My bed did not see your answer:( just sow it now:)

[cjones1999]

So them Cubbies only won a World Series like 40 years ago
Yeah, and we're gonna win the pennant this year! w00t!

[PhantomsCV]

Yeah, and we're gonna win the pennant this year! w00t!


We do have the best record in the NL.:p

[HTF]

Whew, our luck changing?

[gobravez]

Chip got excited for a second, he thought his cubbies cut the lead to 1.

[McCarroll21]

The guy on WGN right now is even worse than Chip on fly ball outs.

[BravesfaninNC]

Chip got excited for a second, he thought his cubbies cut the lead to 1. Chip was and will only be a cubs fan

[PhantomsCV]

The guy on WGN right now is even worse than Chip on fly ball outs.

where do you think Chip learned it?

[McCarroll21]

That shirt never looked so good.

[gobravez]

Chip checkin out the girl with the homie shirt.

[brnt247]

Who was that guy that was always complaining that the radio always said it was going to be a HR when it was on the warning track? That guy sucked.

[GrandMasterB]

where do you think Chip learned it?

His grandfather.

[McCarroll21]

I think my eyes are getting use to the black and white, I turned to the PTV broadcast and it almost hurt.

Now, I'm thinking back to the Dodgers game from last July. :lol:

[BravesWS95]

[timmy]

Good DP, How'd we score our runs?

I've been busy.

[McCarroll21]

Poor Edmonds. When he homers, he's a Cub. When he grounds into a double play, he's a stinkin' Cardinal!

[BravesfaninNC]

Now, I'm thinking back to the Dodgers game from last July. :lol:That was a great game thread on that night that we played the Dodgers:D

[PeytonAllen]

Nice DP. Huddy on the mound Jeff homers!

Whooo. Need a laugher today.

[WaltDeezy]

4-6-3, routine, Frenchy 2-Run HR timmy

[JCStone7]

Good DP, How'd we score our runs?

I've been busy.

Frenchy 2-run blast!

[gobravez]

I've been busy.

Francoeur hit a 2 run shot.

[GrandMasterB]

LOL! Harry Caray on Crackerjacks...

:lol:

He always rambled on about the most random stuff. I remember his last season, whenever they would show the promo for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, he would go on and on about it.

[McCarroll21]

Tim Hudson's doing his best Johnny Sain impersonation!

[timmy]

LOL! Harry Caray on Crackerjacks...

XO_x7U7n8iU

a helluva personality...

[BravesfaninNC]

So Charlie Morton does his family own Morton's steakhouses right:rolleyes:

[timmy]

Francoeur hit a 2 run shot.

Who'da Thunk?

[McCarroll21]

So Charlie Morton does his family own Morton's steakhouses right?
Yeah. There's only one Morton family in the US. Maybe they'll treat the team to steaks after the game Saturday!

[cjones1999]

Rick James reference!

[timmy]

Yeah. There's only one Morton family in the US. Maybe they'll treat the team to steaks after the game Saturday!

Only if they win.

[gobravez]

LOL was Edmonds talking to Fukudome? Does he even know english?

[McCarroll21]

Qk7CX1Ne4nQ

[McCarroll21]

LOL was Edmonds talking to Fukudome? Does he even know english?
Edmonds knows how to be an asshole in any language.

[BravesfaninNC]

Look out Huddy

[gobravez]

asdf

[cjones1999]

Get DP Huddy!

[timmy]

So if we win today...can we keep the throwbacks instead of the road blues?

[BravesfaninNC]

woooooot

[McCarroll21]

Alright Huddy! Let's go... I've got Harry Caray and Will Ferrell trying to be Harry Caray playing in the background. It's Wrigley Field now!

[cjones1999]

Get DP Huddy!
Hell yes! 1 more!

[HTF]

cmon huddy 1 more.

[Penguin]

dont know if this has been mentioned but if we win today do we wear these uniforms tomorrow? or at least the hat?

[HTF]

oh yeah great job Huddy

[gobravez]

nice huddys

[cjones1999]

Heh WGN announcers complaining about strikes called above the belt.

[BravesfaninNC]

Woot Franchey 2-2

[HTF]

Jeff is alive! Maybe...

[cjones1999]

Nice hit Jeff! Let's go Greg!

[timmy]

Good, good. Keep it going jeff

[McCarroll21]

He probably read some of the comments on his blog.

[cjones1999]

He probably read some of the comments on his blog.
Good because I said something there.

[McCarroll21]

Get another hit, Huddy!

[HTF]

Cmon huddy, Help the cause.

[WaltDeezy]

i benched him on my fantasy team for the first time yesterday, looks like he got the message (I put him back in today)

[BravesfaninNC]

had no idea that he has a blog

[McCarroll21]

Huddy steps into the box like a little leaguer. He has his hand up calling for time from the umpire so he can step in lol

[cjones1999]

Tex FTW!

[cjones1999]

I like the 1948 Braves!

[timmy]

No HBP's...I guess we're even, Lilly just missed Mac's head, then Dempster go him, and we DL'd Soriano. Fair enough.

[WaltDeezy]

1-2-3 good work timmy, top of our order coming up, bottom of the cubs in the bottom half, lets extend the lead

[McCarroll21]

I hate all this crap about speeding up the game. Wanna know how to speed up the game? Contract the teams with owners who don't care, cut the league from 30 to 26 teams who are more talented and don't end up with piece of shit starters going every fifth day for damn near all 30 teams in baseball.

What Four teams?

Yeah, I agree. It's baseball, let them play the 9 innings and shut the hell up about it.

[HTF]

there we go, cmon Chip

[McCarroll21]

w00t! Finally have runners on for Chipper!

[cjones1999]

What Four teams?
Washington, San Fran, KC and Pittsburgh.

[b10wick]

Come on Chippppppppppperrrrr!

[BravesfaninNC]

Oh that hurt

[McCarroll21]

What Four teams?
I was just using 26 as an arbitrary number. Marlins and Pirates are two teams that come to mind.

[BravesfaninNC]

Is he trying to Hit Tex?

[b10wick]

Well, can't expect him to come through every time.

[McCarroll21]

Let's go Mac!

[McCarroll21]

Well, can't expect him to come through every time.
At least he's out there to make the team's have to think about him and we have that presence in the lineup.

do we even have a 5th starter

[HTF]

Cmon Huddy you're not getting anymore today.

[b10wick]

Ahh, looks like he chased ball two accoriding to gameday.

[HTF]

do we even have a 5th starter

we have 3 of them

[cjones1999]

I was just using 26 as an arbitrary number. Marlins and Pirates are two teams that come to mind.
ehh. I want the fish to stay around so I could take a vacation and go to a beautiful beach during the day and go see the Braves get a W on the road at night.:cool:

[McCarroll21]

do we even have a 5th starter
Well, I'm not factoring in how injuries bite teams every year. This happened to be our year to lose all of our rotation to injury.

[McCarroll21]

Ahh, looks like he chased ball two accoriding to gameday.
He did but it was a nasty pitch. It didn't start where it's shown on gameday.

[b10wick]

At least he's out there to make the team's have to think about him and we have that presence in the lineup.

Oh I completely agree.. He's out there battling for us, and I wasn't doubting/dissing/disrespecting Chipper or anything like that. Just simply stating we can't expect him to come through for us every time.. Didn't want people jumping all over him like they do Francoeur, lol.

[gobravez]

LOL @ Joe looking at Chip like an idiot.

[HTF]

Wow, blew Soto away. keep if going Huddy.

[McCarroll21]

Oh I completely agree.. He's out there battling for us, and I wasn't doubting/dissing/disrespecting Chipper or anything like that. Just simply stating we can't expect him to come through for us every time.. Didn't want people jumping all over him like they do Francoeur, lol.
LOL! I wasn't trying to say anything negative. I was agreeing, pretty much saying he's out there when he doesn't have to be.

He's chasing .400 and is playing at not nearly 100% just to try to give the team something.

[timmy]

Somehow I can't swallow them contracting a team with a history like the Giants or even Pirates, who also have a helluva ballpark.

The two Florida teams can peace, and maybe the Twins.

[b10wick]

Keep it up Huddy!

[HTF]

wow, he's turning it on now.

[cjones1999]

Somehow I can't swallow them contracting a team with a history like the Giants or even Pirates, who also have a helluva ballpark.

The Rays need to stay. When they get a consistently good team, they will sell the seats out.

[timmy]

Man Huddy's really on right now.

[Chop33]

just turned on the game a little while ago

forgot that I get all the cubs games here... oops

nice surprise though

[HTF]

good morning, good afternoon, and good night/
