It was the first time Hudson had allowed six runs since he gave up that many in a July 5, 2007, loss to the Dodgers, a span of 30 starts.

Silva has gone more than two months since his last win, which came on April 17 against the Athletics. He was 3-0 at the time, but has lost eight straight since. The veteran has a 2-0 record and a 2.12 ERA in his career against the Braves, tossing a shutout against the National League East team last season.</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/280622115.xml"; f0.ID = "as_280622115"; 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/280622115.xml" wmode="opaque" id="as_280622115" 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>

[brnt247]

Only one RH in the lineup, has to be the first time we've done that this season. We have 4 switch hitters on our team, that's a lot lol.

[McCarroll21]

Good lineup. Best team we could throw out there considering the injuries to Chipper and Yunel.

Get some BJones and 643 is sitting. Sounds good to me.

[JCStone7]

You're right Mac that knuckle needs rest :lol:

[brnt247]

Good to see Mac toughing it out and going day after night, we need his bat in there. Getting Yunel and Chipper a day of rest is pretty big. This lineup isn't terrible, and if we can get some momentum from last night and carry it into the Brewer series it would be really big. Jo-Jo vs. the Brewers kind of scares me, those righties can hit. Hopefully he will continue being effective tomorrow.

[McCarroll21]

We have two of our best three hitters out of the lineup and our lineup completely owns theirs. No Lopez, Beltre, Sexson in the lineup; replaced with Bloomquist, Cairo and Vidro? Now, if this were 1997 and Vidro was in the lineup, it'd be one thing, but in 2008, Vidro doesn't strike fear in anyone ... especially batting cleanup.

[JCStone7]

I was hoping to see Infante at 3B and Lillibridge at SS today.

[brnt247]

Gotay has done well, I'd take his bat over Lilli's right now. It isn't the time to get Brent a few starts with our lineup so different. I'd like to see him get a start to spell Yunel in the Brewer series if Chipper is back though.

[McCarroll21]

Gotay's actually hitting from his good side today. I'd be disappointed if Yunel was out and Gotay wasn't at 3B today. If Yunel were in there, I'd like to see Infante at 3B over Gotay but I'd be pissed if we had Gotay at 3B two days against a lefty and then missed our chance to let him get a handful of at-bats batting left handed.

[brnt247]

We have two of our best three hitters out of the lineup and our lineup completely owns theirs. No Lopez, Beltre, Sexson in the lineup; replaced with Bloomquist, Cairo and Vidro? Now, if this were 1997 and Vidro was in the lineup, it'd be one thing, but in 2008, Vidro doesn't strike fear in anyone ... especially batting cleanup.

Probably strikes fear in their starter. He knows he probably needs to throw a shutout.

[dogmanx23]

Go bvraves lets make it 2 in a Row.. WOW no Chipper no Yunel No Franky EH!

[jones2510]

Lets go braves!!!


:chop::bravesflag1:

[Moylan #58]

Pete Orr is starting for the Nationals today!

[ATlinVA]

I like the lineup. Seems pretty balanced. Good speed at the top. Good contact in the middle. Secret weapon hitting 8th.

[JCStone7]

I actually get to listen to Brave announcers today

[Goodoleboy58]

yea day game i get to watch on mlb.tv

[jones2510]

[McCarroll21]

BJones is in RF now, not Norton. They switched.

[JCStone7]

Good start Omar!

[JCStone7]

Get Ibanez Vidro for a nice easy inning Huddy!

[hotcorner33]

Go Braves! :)

[jones2510]

[JCStone7]

He's keeping it down in the zone at least.

[ATlinVA]

[JCStone7]

C'mon Huddy!

[Goodoleboy58]

[Goodoleboy58]

lol why cant we lose the announcers sound when its the opposing teams announcers

[ATlinVA]

shaky start, but through unscathed

Post 1000, have to say something meaningful.
I <3 B(.)(.)Bs

[McCarroll21]

Today's been awesome... :rolleyes:

[hotcorner33]

Blanco, Infante, Kelly is our 1-2-3? Wow, didn't see that one coming. I can't claim it to be a good thing either.

[timmy]

Aww...nothing like a perfect Sunday afternoon in June, spent on my couch watching the Braves.

I live for this.

[jones2510]

Lets go blanco

[JCStone7]

Today's been awesome... :rolleyes:

What's the story?

[hotcorner33]

Get on for Kelly, Omar.

[JCStone7]

C'mon O Kelly!

[hotcorner33]

Apparently Joe Simpson has an axe to grind with Ichiro.

I like Kelly's at bat song.

[jones2510]

lets go kelly

[timmy]

Well that was quick.

[JCStone7]

That was quick

[ATlinVA]

Oh Boog...so witty

[hotcorner33]

Great inning guys!

[JCStone7]

Blah stupid emergency alerts

[hotcorner33]

Doesn't seem as if Huddy will get much more run support today than he has been getting recently.

[JCStone7]

Doesn't seem as if Huddy will get much more run support today than he has been getting recently.

Quick to judge after 3 hitters eh?

[JCStone7]

So Joe a baseball can be used as a weapon, gotta a bone to pick with it?

[hotcorner33]

Quick to judge after 3 hitters eh?

Considering the lineup we're rocking today, its tough to be optimistic. ;)

[timmy]

Considering the lineup we're rocking today, its tough to be optimistic. ;)

Considering the pitcher we're facing though...5.79 ERA...FTW

[Goodoleboy58]

can we make them hit the ball before we start walking every other guy?

[JCStone7]

[hotcorner33]

Tim Hudson....is the most underrated starter in baseball.

[McCarroll21]

Tim Hudson....is the most underrated starter in baseball.
Disagree.

[jones2510]

lets go tex

[JCStone7]

w00t Jump on it!

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb145/jcstone07/Gamethread/1_gotteix.jpg

[jones2510]

Woot!!!! tex

[timmy]

Well, that's nice to see. Start doing that a bit more often!

[hotcorner33]

w00t! Mark T gives us the lead! I guess I spoke too soon. :D

[timmy]

Mac, make it back 2 back!

[hotcorner33]

Disagree.

Who do you think is?

[Goodoleboy58]

there ya go Tex get rolling

[JCStone7]

Mac, make it back 2 back!

Almost!!

[McCarroll21]

Who do you think is?
I don't know, but you don't get $13 million to be underrated.

[timmy]

Watching Mac run, good times. Make 'em pay CountryStrong!

[hotcorner33]

base knockaroo!

[jones2510]

yes brian

[timmy]

That foul ball was absolutely rocketed.

[jones2510]

Lets go norton

[Goodoleboy58]

man B-Mac crushed that foul ball

[hotcorner33]

I don't know, but you don't get $13 million to be underrated.

Let me rephrase that.....Tim Hudson is the most underrated starting pitcher in baseball by baseball fans and the media. Not that I could give a darn what the media says, anyway.

[hotcorner33]

What a turn. Nice play Bloomquist

[GrandMasterB]

OK, I know our lineup isn't the greatest, especially with all the injuries, but I literally laughed out loud when I saw the Mariners' lineup for today.

[JCStone7]

That was some DP

[timmy]

OK, I know our lineup isn't the greatest, especially with all the injuries, but I literally laughed out loud when I saw the Mariners' lineup for today.

Agreed. Where's their power bats? They don't exist. They used to say Ichiro could hit 25-30 HR if he wanted to be that type of player. For this type of lineup he probably should try that.

[McCarroll21]

OK, I know our lineup isn't the greatest, especially with all the injuries, but I literally laughed out loud when I saw the Mariners' lineup for today.
LOL! Same here...

[hotcorner33]

Way to work the count and make something happen, Ichiro.

Apparently his bat from the magic forest isn't working.

[JCStone7]

Good god Joe, what did Ichiro do to you?

[McCarroll21]

Quick inning here, Huddy! Get Silva back out there while we're hitting him hard!

[jones2510]

get the dp

[Goodoleboy58]

ibanez only guy i would pitch carefully to in this lineup

[JCStone7]

Nice arm GGH!

[McCarroll21]

I'm tired of watching Blanco not go hard after balls in center. He's cost us at least one base in nearly every game he's played.

[GrandMasterB]

ibanez only guy i would pitch carefully to in this lineup

You mean Miguel Cairo doesn't strike fear into you?

[jones2510]

come hudson get out of this

[timmy]

GET DP! :shocker:

[jones2510]

ouch

[JCStone7]

That's got to hurt!

[McCarroll21]

Ouch.

[McCarroll21]

Good thing he's got fat cheeks.

[GrandMasterB]

I bet Hudson goes right back to that spot.

[hotcorner33]

The former Montreal Expo great seems to be okay.

[JCStone7]

Good thing he's got fat cheeks.

:lol: Only will get fatter now

[jones2510]

K!

[GrandMasterB]

I think Vidro just wanted to get the heck out of there. :lol:

[JCStone7]

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb145/jcstone07/Gamethread/k-1.gif

[JCStone7]

Good job Huddy!

[Goodoleboy58]

Pete Orr Grounded out to the pitcher... I want him to get on base... have a Salty/Orr showdown on the basepaths

[hotcorner33]

WTG huddy!

[Goodoleboy58]

huddy playing with fire with the BB's and hits hopefully we can get some more runs

[jones2510]

Lets go Brandon

[hotcorner33]

Yum. Nice, sticky fabric.

[hotcorner33]

As the weakest lead off man in baseball strides to the plate.....

[hotcorner33]

It's called reverse psychology.....:)

[GrandMasterB]

As the weakest lead off man in baseball strides to the plate.....

Juan Pierre?

[jones2510]

Lets go omar

[jones2510]

nice omar, blanco

[GrandMasterB]

Woo! Bench players FTW! Get 'em in, Kelly.

[hotcorner33]

Give us some insurance Kelly!

[timmy]

Woo Hoo!

Cmon KAGE!

[McCarroll21]

Yes, Joe. He's better than .250 when facing a right handed pitcher. When Chipper and Yunel get back, Infante needs to be platooning with whoever is playing in center. Both Kotsay and Blanco are much weaker against LHP, at least this year.

[jones2510]

Lets go kelly!

[hotcorner33]

Juan Pierre?


100000000000000% touche.

[JCStone7]

C'mon Kelly!

[timmy]

Yes, Joe. He's better than .250 when facing a right handed pitcher. When Chipper and Yunel get back, Infante needs to be platooning with whoever is playing in center. Both Kotsay and Blanco are much weaker against LHP, at least this year.

Good point...Bobby probably won't do it though, in the name of OF defense.

[JCStone7]

Good rip Kelly

[timmy]

At 'Em Ball. Copyright Atlanta Braves Baseball 2008.

[brnt247]

Man every time we have a rally going something like that happens... Unless it's Chipper.

[GrandMasterB]

Good point...Bobby probably won't do it though, in the name of OF defense.

I wouldn't put it past him. Bobby uses more platoons than the army.

[timmy]

Infante's Arm <<< Yunel's Arm

[JCStone7]

Infante's Arm <<< Yunel's Arm

A lot of people's arm <<< Yunel's arm

[timmy]

Ouch Mac.

Nice turn KJ!

[jones2510]

nice dp

[hotcorner33]

Atta boy Kelly!

[JCStone7]

:clap: Kelly nice play

[GrandMasterB]

I bet you ain't never seen a left fielder turn two like that before.

[Goodoleboy58]

Good D KJ

[timmy]

A lot of people's arm <<< Yunel's arm

Very true. I'd love to see where his arm can register on a gun.

[timmy]

I bet you ain't never seen a left fielder turn two like that before.

The Double play deserved the "double negative." :D

[JCStone7]

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb145/jcstone07/Gamethread/1_gotteix.jpg

[McCarroll21]

Wake up Mark Teixeira!

[GrandMasterB]

Hey guys. It's me, Mark Teixeira.

[hotcorner33]

HAVE A DAY, MARK TEIXEIRA!!!!!! w00t w00t w00t!!!!

[ATlinVA]

Hello Big Teixy

[jones2510]

tex!!!!!!:clap:

[timmy]

The Real Teix is back.

Don't Call him Marky Mark.

[JCStone7]

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb145/jcstone07/Gamethread/Tomahawk.gif

[hotcorner33]

BACK TO BACK BABY!

[McCarroll21]

Mac got the back to back bid in fair play this time! Woo!

[timmy]

CountrySTRONG!!! B2B!!!

[jones2510]

woot! brian back to back!

[ATlinVA]

Bye Bye Balls

[GrandMasterB]

The Real Teix is back.

Don't Call him Marky Mark.

But home runs like that sure do send Good Vibrations through the park.

:D

[timmy]

Dead center...What a BEAST!

[hotcorner33]

Silva is completely unraveling.

[hotcorner33]

Bye Bye Balls


Carlos Silva's?

[Goodoleboy58]

good job guys thats why you make the big bucks

[JCStone7]

C'mon Luben!
http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb145/jcstone07/Gamethread/along_came_polly.jpg

[dogmanx23]

WOOT TeiX and MAC!

[JCStone7]

At least we'll get Huddy out of the way this inning

[Chuck61686]

So oum...if the Braves can cling to this lead and the Phillies-Angels score holds up we'll be four games back of first place?

Weird isn't it?

[GrandMasterB]

Hey, nice throw, Cairo. Thanks for letting us at least clear the pitcher's spot.

Or get a hit and get to the top of the order...

[JCStone7]

At least we'll get Huddy out of the way this inning

I meant Blanco

[jones2510]

nice hudson

[timmy]

But home runs like that sure do send Good Vibrations through the park.

:D

I'm pretty sure Mr. Wahlberg would just as soon everyone forgot about that at this point in his acting career.

[McCarroll21]

Let's go Gregor!

[JCStone7]

w00t

[jones2510]

woot! blanco

[GrandMasterB]

I meant Blanco

You mean Infante?

[timmy]

GEB!!!

He's an RBI machine!

[McCarroll21]

Keep Silva in! We're beating him like a pinata!

[JCStone7]

You mean Infante?

I gave up :cool:

[Goodoleboy58]

first pitch swingin' i like it in this case

[jones2510]

:chop:

[hotcorner33]

R.A. Dickey!!!! University of Tennessee pride!!!

[Goodoleboy58]

unfortunately for Frenchy this is exactly what he needs first pitch fast ball right down the middle

[JCStone7]

R.A. Dickey!!!! University of Tennessee pride!!!

Now he's in a mop-up role for the worst team in the bigs :clap: Vols

[timmy]

Carlos Silva couldn't fool Helen Keller with what he's throwing this inning.

[McCarroll21]

unfortunately for Frenchy this is exactly what he needs first pitch fast ball right down the middle
He'd look at it.

[JCStone7]

C'mon Huddy quick inning!

[Chuck61686]

If the Braves hold their lead (4-0 as I write) and the Phillies-Angels score remains, the Braves will be four games back of first place.

Furthermore, on this date in 2004, the Braves were five below .500 (32-37)...and we somehow made the playoffs that year.

So it ain't time to throw in the towel.

[brnt247]

Dickey has an ill knuckler. Wow, I was down 2 HR coming into today in a keeper league and I get 2 HR from Teix and 1 from Mac. Pretty huge in every aspect of baseball for me today.

[brnt247]

Boooooooo Burke.

[McCarroll21]

Boooooooo Burke.
LOL! Wrong Burke but it's a Burke nonetheless. Booo!

[GrandMasterB]

Boooooooo Burke.

Wrong Burke. :lol:

[brnt247]

www.savingsquirrels.com (http://www.savingsquirrels.com) ..... ???? Why is that behind home plate!?

[timmy]

I really don't wanna face a knuckler, that's a good way to get our hitters off balance for the next week.

[brnt247]

Wrong Burke. :lol:

Still, boooooooo.

[GrandMasterB]

www.savesquirrels.com (http://www.savesquirrels.com) ..... ???? Why is that behind home plate!?

Because they want to save the squirrels?

[JCStone7]

The same play just happened back to back to Infante

[McCarroll21]

I really don't wanna face a knuckler, that's a good way to get our hitters off balance for the next week.
No doubt. I say we put the bench players in and ... err! Just take everything and tell Huddy he's gotta make the four runs stand!

[GrandMasterB]

I really don't wanna face a knuckler, that's a good way to get our hitters off balance for the next week.

I really don't think it matters right now. The way players have been shuffled in and out of the lineup due to injuries or whatever, we could have a completely different lineup in a week. lol

[timmy]

I really don't think it matters right now. The way players have been shuffled in and out of the lineup due to injuries or whatever, we could have a completely different lineup in a week. lol

This is true, as long as Teix and BMac keep hitting though.

[McCarroll21]

Huddy likes leads.

[JCStone7]

Huddy likes leads.

:nod: Especially 4-run leads. What's that stat again?

[GrandMasterB]

Hey, Teix, how about hitting a third one? :)

[Chuck61686]

Gotta hold em for only three more innings!
(Yes, with Gonzo in the bullpen, our opponents get 8 innings to hit.) That guy is our best southpaw reliever since John Rocker.

[timmy]

C'mon KJ join in the party.

[JCStone7]

Gotta hold em for only three more innings!
(Yes, with Gonzo in the bullpen, our opponents get 8 innings to hit.) That guy is our best southpaw reliever since John Rocker.

Mike Remlinger and Chris Hammond were pretty good

[timmy]

HAT TRICK, HAT TRICK, HAT TRICK!!!

[McCarroll21]

Nice Kelly. Let's go Teix! Do it again!

[Goodoleboy58]

there goes tex's timing

[McCarroll21]

McCann showing off the wheels again...

[JCStone7]

Woo McCann speed

[timmy]

Mac with blazing speed down the line. Good takeout slide, KJ.

[Chuck61686]

Mike Remlinger and Chris Hammond were pretty good

Yes, they compare very well based on their ERAs - but Gonzo can throw some serious heat and strike guys out on demand.

[JCStone7]

:lol: a check-swing double

[timmy]

The ole' check swing double, don't see that everyday.

[jones2510]

nice norton

[Goodoleboy58]

keep proving me wrong greg i dont mind at all

[brnt247]

Remember Furcal's old bunt doubles? Those were awesome.

Oops.

That's one of those no, no, no!, go, go, go! kind of swings.

[timmy]

Does a wild pitch get Mac in?

[hotcorner33]

6-0 Bravos!

[jones2510]

Woot! gotay

[McCarroll21]

Wooo! Ruben for RF!

[timmy]

I'm feeling a sandwich...

[JCStone7]

Hey hey Luben!

[GrandMasterB]

Who needs everyday players?

[ATlinVA]

alright, time to bottle up some of these runs

[GrandMasterB]

I'm feeling a sandwich...

That's kind of disturbing.

[hotcorner33]

Now he's in a mop-up role for the worst team in the bigs :clap: Vols

Sarcasm detector not working? :p

[Chuck61686]

Wooo! Ruben for RF!

W00t Francoeur for RB!
(Right bench)

[GrandMasterB]

Sarcasm detector not working? :p

Stoney just doesn't appreciate the greatness that is the Tennessee Volunteers*.

* = Chris Burke not included

:D * boy ruined it for all of em

[timmy]

Being a Vol, and/or a Vol's fan involves secretly being better than everyone else. Don't you just hate us even more?

[Goodoleboy58]

i agree... this is exactly what our backups needed.. some good hacks at the plate

[hotcorner33]

I will take the liberty of apologizing on behalf of the Vols for Burke....

[McCarroll21]

Should have dove for it Norton!

[hotcorner33]

Today's been a good day to be a Braves fan.

[timmy]

If Francoeur had started today, the score would be 2-0. We'd have still gotten the back to back homers, but that would've been it, and Teix's first jack would have gone foul, just because Natty Flat brings "Bad Vibrations."

[ATlinVA]

Today's been a good day to be a Braves fan.Things are going too good. Chipper is going to slip in the shower and take out half the team or something.

[jones2510]

lets go hudson

[hotcorner33]

SEC matchup right here.

[Goodoleboy58]

Norton flashing the glove.. check swings.. he

I'm guessing you don't shower unless you play. It'll probably be B-Mac.

[hotcorner33]

And for once...Auburn actually wins.

[timmy]

Nah, Erin Andrews will probably show up, and break Jair's arm while getting wild in the sack, and then we'll get the report that he fell down a flight of stairs and broke his arm.

[Goodoleboy58]

Interleague play shouldn't even be a debate anymore... What else would we do see the Marlins 20 more times a year?

[ATlinVA]

Nah, Erin Andrews will probably show up, and break Jair's arm while getting wild in the sack
small price to pay

TENNESSEE FTW!!!!

[Chuck61686]

This line-up is what you'd see in a spring training game...or a late September game when the division is already clinched and you're resting the regulars...yet we're winning 6-0. I love it.

[timmy]

small price to pay

Nah, Erin's still the lucky one. It's Jair Friggin' Jurrjens. He's gotta be Atlanta's most eligible.

[Goodoleboy58]

I do like Gotay on a limited basis too... i just wish our starters would get healthy so we can see what we got in terms of role players

[GrandMasterB]

I don't think that's her.

Eddie Perez is taken?

[ATlinVA]

[hotcorner33]

Oh, yes it is.

[timmy]

Get DP!

[ATlinVA]

Oh, yes it is.
I'm pretty sure its not

[timmy]

Dude it is, Google images never lies.

[hotcorner33]

I'm pretty sure its not


Work with me here!!!

[ATlinVA]

Work with me here!!!

Her Chesticles aren't that big.

[Goodoleboy58]
