[HTF]

Is it 2011? I just got a hard on.

[gobravez]

Looks like the rain has moved out of Orlando, so hopefully they get it in.

[Bravos8108]

I know it is just spring training, but I hate the Phillies. I hope we beat them down today.

[ahmed5456]

I just had to double check the date. It's still 2009 :rolleyes:. It's also March, and it's snowing in Metro-Atlanta. This is the first time in a long time I can remember seeing snow here this late.

Yeah, we got about 2-3 inches of snow yesterday. What's funny is there's some parts of the county that I live in that only got a half inch.

[ahmed5456]

Yeah, we got about 2-3 inches of snow yesterday. What's funny is there's some parts of the county that I live in that only got a half inch.It's very odd here. At times it will snow pretty hard and not stick, then it will start sticking. We're supposed to be getting an inch or so. It's nothing to intense, but it's still snow.

the man that is on right now doing "sunday with sinatra" is kind of a silver fox.

[HTF]

Sinatra ftw! Play some Tony Bennett next.

[ahmed5456]

From what I'm hearing on the station it doesn't sound like they'll be streaming the game. Hopefully we can find another link.

[Brave Henry]

Getting some heavy, snowish slush in Athens right now.

[McCarroll21]

Getting some heavy, snowish slush in Athens right now.
That's what we got first yesterday and ended up with about 3 inches.

[Chief Knockahoma]

we're getting some nasty stuff here in Winterville, no snow yet though.

[Brave Henry]

this stuff isn't sticking much...the ground looks like it's frosted over, not snowy. This is about as ugly as snow gets.

[HTF]

Snow is highly overrated, I don't get it.

[ahmed5456]

Don't worry about the rain. We'll probably get to see our "2011" lineup today

"They've removed the tarp from the field and according to the radar, it looks like we might be able to enjoy an rain-free game today. I'm sorry to hear that the weather gods aren't being as kind to you in Atlanta today."

[Brave Henry]

I'm definitely not into snow. I like it for about an hour when everything's covered and you feel like you could be in the 1600's, but once the roads and shit are cleared. meh.


I have no idea why i've been listening to this damn announcement and jazz organ for so long...time to mute

[HTF]

I hope we don't get Harry Kalas, I'm already tired, he'll just put me out. He's the Turkey of baseball announcers.

[McCarroll21]

TOP 1

Reyes pitching.


Rollins grounds out to short. 1 out.
Victorino flies out to center. 2 out.
Mayberry singles into left field.
Howard grounds out to first. 3 out.

[ahmed5456]

I hope we don't get Harry Kalas, I'm already tired, he'll just put me out. He's the Turkey of baseball announcers.The fact that it's a Spring Training game won't make the case any better. He'll put us all to sleep. Maybe he'll wake us up with an "Outta Here!" off of Jo-Jo Reyes?

[Brave Henry]

So no one's had luck with audio yet, right?

[ahmed5456]

So no one's had luck with audio yet, right?I've had no luck either yet. Hopefully someone will come up with something.

[HTF]

Good start by Jo-Jo, keep that trade value rising.

[ahmed5456]

Good start by Jo-Jo, keep that trade value rising.Hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

[McCarroll21]

BOTTOM 1

Brett Myers pitching.


Escobar grounds out to first. 1 out.
Johnson reaches on infield single.
Chipper doubles down left field line. Johnson to third.
McCann flies out to right. Johnson scores. 2 out. Braves 1, Phillies 0.
Freeman flies out to right. 3 out.

[McCarroll21]

Chan Ho Park is supposed to follow Myers.

[ahmed5456]

Kelly's on fire!

[Brave Henry]

we are getting some serious infield singles so far this ST...guess that's partially because of careful defense.

[gobravez]

http://philadelphia.phillies.mlb.com/phi/schedule/radio_network.jsp

theres a list of phillies radio stations..maybe one of them is streaming online

[HTF]

atta boy Larry, drive em in Mac.

[McCarroll21]

I think Chipper's ready to go. He's a clear case of people who get bored with Spring Training by the middle of March.

[ahmed5456]

A two bagger for Chipper. Here comes a 3R-HR from Mac!

[McCarroll21]

Sac fly for McCann. It's nice to see we got that run in from third with less than 2 out, even if it is spring training.

[timmy]

I've had no such luck with finding a stream yet... I'll duck over and see if the neighbors have had any luck.

[ahmed5456]

Mac, that's something I hope to see more of this season.

[HTF]

I'm interested to see how the Aussie does, his first live action since the surgery.

[Chief Knockahoma]

check out Los Bravos, actually looking like a decent team...granted it is ST

[McCarroll21]

TOP 2 - Braves 1, Phillies 0


Jenkins fouls out to third. 1 out.
Stairs singles into center.
Giles grounded into fielder's choice. Stairs out at second. 2 out.
Giles steals second.
Donald walks.
Ruiz grounds out to short. 3 out.

[McCarroll21]

I missed what Giles did, anyone know?

[HTF]

I missed what Giles did, anyone know?

Fielder's Choice 6-4

[ahmed5456]

Giles. Giles used to be great for this team. Since he's been gone his play has just been horrible. A lot like Andruw Jones.

[McCarroll21]

Giles. Giles used to be great for this team. Since he's been gone his play has just been horrible. A lot like Andruw Jones.
You mean, the reason why he left was because he was horrible and the Braves non-tendered him due to lack of steroids?

[McCarroll21]

With this Phillies broadcast, I'm only missing one thing from the Braves broadcasts from last spring...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoAqEwk5Kts

[HTF]

These announcers aren't too fond of Jo-Jo lol. They kept saying last year how they can't believe how he was 12-1 at AAA because how bad he looked in the bigs.

[ahmed5456]

You mean, the reason why he left was because he was horrible and the Braves non-tendered him due to lack of steroids? Yeah, that too. :rolleyes:

[McCarroll21]

BOTTOM 2 - Braves 1, Phillies 0

Francoeur flies out to left. 1 out.
Norton flies out to right. 2 out.
Heyward strikes out looking. 3 out.

[ahmed5456]

C'mon Frenchy, show us how your off-season work has payed off! Eh, forget it.

[HTF]

We need to get JHey away from Francoeur ASAP

[Brave Henry]

Had to get the Empire song stuck in my head didn't you, Mac? Couldn't let me have the only positive thing about baseball off-season...not hearing that song.
