1st post……….WOO HOO!
2nd post….nothing to say, but that
Bring out the brooms baby!
Is Giles planning on starting tonight?
Probably not, he has dinner reservations at 7:15 with Mike Hampton
With Hampton’s contract, he could buy the entire restaurant…
Hampton and Hudson are becoming good buddies. They play bridge and talk about their contracts! Hampton still thinks he got the best one…
Didn’t we just play these guys? This series is already giving me deja fu– somewhere, somehow, I’ve been kicked in the head this way before.
1914 Update:
NY Giants 59-48 (–)
Boston Braves 60-49 (–)
St. Louis Cardinals 62-53 (1 GB)
Chicago Cubs 59-54 (3)
Cincinnati Reds 52-60 (9.5)
Philadelphia Phillies 51-59 (9.5)
Pittsburgh Pirates 51-59 (9.5)
Brooklyn Robins 49-61 (11.5)
Today’s Game:
Bost 000 120 001 – 4 8 0 WP- James
Cubs 001 000 000 – 1 9 2 LP- Vaughn
Yes, that’s Hippo Vaughan as the loser, who would be the losing pitcher in the “double no-hitter” of May 2, 1917- both he and the Reds’ Al Orth allowed zero hits in nine innings, before the Reds scored a run on two hits against Vaughn in th 10th.
One other note: today was the last day of Branch Rickey’s major league career, striking out as a pinch-hitter for the Browns against the A’s. His more successful career in the manager’s and front offices is still decades away.
The season is over as far as making the playoffs is concerned. Time to call up Lerew, Startup, etc. and start auditioning them for next year.
I say we send Smoltz, McCann, and Wickman on an early vacation. They have earned it…
No, I need McCann to keep producing such terrific numbers at catcher for fantasy league purposes. Lets face the music this is a lost season, and it doesn’t even matter that the Braves will get a top ten pick, because they will draft someone who they don’t have to give a lot of money too, so therefore, it would be just like they are drafting in the high 20’s still.
If JS and company do get a top 10 pick I hope they take the best pitcher available and give him all the money he wants. I’d like to have a hochevar/weaver/verlander/andrew miller type of pitching prospect in the first round next year.
Hell, I’d draft BODE Miller over our bullpen.
I’m working on part 2 of our Atlanta Braves drinking game…suggestions are very welcome…
Don’t make it involve anything to do with Yates giving up leadoff walks or Francoeur striking out or we’ll all end up in the hospital.
Guess who is back. I’m not going to approve his comments this time, though.
[To NY METS:] Because you annoy everybody, that’s why.
i’ll rochambeau him for posting rights….and i’ll kick first
south park style that is
Lineups:
Montreal:
Soriano LF
Lopez SS
Zimmerman 3B

Schneider C
Ortiz P
Boston/ Milwaukee:
Giles 2B
Renteria SS
CJones 3B

What’s the over under on Soriano Homeruns this series?
430 feet. all 7 of them. I’ll take the over
Jeffrey has the facial hair going…
Time for a random snakes on a plane joke…
Snakes on Chuck James (it’s funny cuz it actually happened)
How about this for a better lineup:
Renteria (let’s find out before next year if he can hit leadoff)
Giles (he hates hitting leadoff so move him back to his preferred #2)
McCann (get him the ABs to qualify for the batting title)
Chipper
Andruw
Laroche
Diaz
Doghouse
Pitcher
Jeffrey needs to shave… it don’t work! lol
James and I are closely connected this season 🙂 WAY TO GO
I now know why the Braves cameramen are so bad. They are all drunk mexican wrestlers.
my buddy 4-Seam 😀
Thx, Vidro
That camerman’s name was Smitty….makes one think…….
Anyone watch two-a-days on MTV? Probst is a dumb hick.
Hoover is an embarrasment.
“We paint our favorite player’s number on our stomach”
Classy.
HOOVER IS A FOOTBALL FACTORY!
GOT HIM!!! One run in though…
Yay..Astacio can shut us out tomorrow again
Lately it seems andruw is in a lot of 0-2 holes.
Adam’s got the Chip Caray eyebrows working
To be honest with you, I like Mexican wrestlers. They are entertaining and actually *wrestle*. They apply a proffesionalism to theit draft. Now if the Braves can get some quality *proffessional* announcers that actually announce, rather than…ADAM!!!….say Jeff Torborg who makes me want to eat some C-4 and then detonate it.
*craft*
Marcus!!
1IN 2 IN 3IN BASES CLEARING DOUBLE!!!!!!!!
Serious question:
Why is Brian Jordan making a rehab start in Richmond?
Renteria!!!! 4-1 Yay!!!! EDGAR!!!!
WOOHOO! That was a nice inning!
Andruw’s still in a slump, but its good to see a “big” inning put together by the lower of the Braves order.
“Why is Brian Jordan making a rehab start in Richmond?”
Because some horses don’t like the pasture.
any word on the roster move for the injured baez?
I want to see the Braves sweep the injured Mets in New York.
“because some horses don’t like the pasture”
In this analogy, is Jordan the horse or the pasture?
Oh so he was injured, I knew it wasn’t his fault he went wild.
I knew it was the demon that has been lurking over the Braves pitching staff the past 2-3 years and swooping down breaking their arms and tearing tendons in their fingers, along with the old-fashioned blowing out the elbow thing.
Jordan’s a horse, an old one that needs to retire, he 38-39 and he palyed football in the NFL, which means he’s actually 44-45.
He’s done athletically. It happened to Murphy, it happened to McGriff. It happend to everyone. He’s old.
McCann can do no wrong..
Nope. I’ll call him from now on Mr. “I’m better than Johnny Bench”.
SIMPSON: Jeff should be more selective.
CHIP CARAY IS AT HOME ON HIS TOILET LISTENING AND SCREAMING, “BUT WHAT ABOUT THE 2-OUT RBIS!!!”
CORRECTION….
SKIP said Jeff should be more selctive, CHIP i think is doing radio, which kind of like sitting on your toilet….
Why is Jeff Torborg the only person on this Earth that has Dave LaRoche stories?
Were the Braves’ early mascots really as embarrassing as they sound? Winalotta?
Snakes on Marc Fein…
More like Winanotta
Snakes soon to be On Chuck James if he doesn’t get out of this.
I miss the Braves red and white indian head, that guy was scary.
Tomahawk carrying warrior. That would have made a good mascot.
Now we have the Texas Pete Dancing bottle.
One run in Now 4-2 Braves.
Nick Johnson looks like he’s 45…
SMAKCDOWN TANAKA!!!! EARLY 90’S FLASHBACK!!!
BOOO!!!!
TANAKA WUZ ROBBED!!!!!!! BY A GUY WEARING A PONYTAIL!!!!!
THATS JUST WRONG!!!!
When Nick Johnson was 6, he got his first stubble, by 7 he had a mountain man beard.
By 8 he started to go bald..
Who has custody of the Braves’ brain cell?
That’s wasn’t very smart.
Apparently neither am I.
That was stupid..
By 9 he bought a motorcycle because of his “mid-life crisis”.
I missed it, what happened? I was busy watching Friday Night Football with 2 1/2 of the most annoying people, besides Jeff Torborg, on this earth.
Soriano recognizes greatness when he sees it…
Matt Diaz tried to steal 3rd base….and ofcourse was thrown out to end the inning..
Giles was thrown out stealing third with one out. And who’s the half-annoying person (or does someone count three halves?)
Whoops. Wrong runner on my part. But he didn’t end the inning; he was the second out.
Shows you how bright I am Brian…
I’m guessing that’s it for Chucky. His pitch count has to be through the roof.
Part 2 of the Atlanta Braves drinking game
Good additions for the most part, Davey. But being shut out by Pedro Astacio? That doesn’t happen to a major league team.
Tirico, he’s kind of bearable.
Chief Knockahoma and his wife Chief Winalotta. They weren’t as bad as Mr. Met.
Looking good Chad…
Paronto and probably Yates in to, yet again, screw a starting pitcher out of a win.
This is depressing…
I’m going to watch me some Friday Night Lights…
Call me crazy, but I’d rather Marcus Giles turned the double play and get two outs instead of just the one he got.
How fast was that one, Skip?
Yates sure is consistant..you gotta give him that..
How does Yates always do that?
And I hate to break it to Skip and Joe, but Yates has been consistent this year.
It’s official: this team sucks. They can’t even get one runner on base after giving up four runs.
I’ll do the honors….
BACK UP THE TRUCK! BACK IT UP!!!!!
Well, as Ezra Pound once wrote:
Winter is icummen in,
Lhude sing Goddamm.
Raineth drop and staineth slop,
And how the wind doth ramm!
Sing: Goddamm.
Skiddeth bus and sloppeth us,
An ague hath my ham.
Freezeth river, turneth liver,
Damn you, sing: Goddamm.
Goddamm, Goddamm, ’tis why I am, Goddamm,
So ‘gainst the winter’s balm.
Sing goddamm, damm, sing Goddamm.
Sing goddamm, sing goddamm, DAMM.
Alright, I normally don’t complain about cussing, but can this post above me please be deleted? I don’t think this should be on a Braves site, and for goodness’ sake, there are some pretty young people that read this site. Plus, however you spell blaspheme, it’s still blaspheme.
“It’s about as quiet as I’ve ever seen this stadium,” Chipper said, looking back on Tuesday’s loss to the Pirates. “Sometimes a team takes on the personality of the crowd. It’s like playing a spring training game.”
Get some runners on base and give the fans something to hope for! Hell, send Yates to Richmond and ticket sales would go through the roof.
That’s an akward way of getting hurt…
I’m sorry, Rob. It’s fine if Mac deletes that post. I completely didn’t think about the blasphemy, and I honestly didn’t mean to offend you. If you can believe it, that word’s just another cuss to me. Please accept my apology.
How ’bout that.
Langerhans?!?…
Wow…
Great, now we’ll lose by just one run.
If it wasn’t for Bobby leaving Franklin in past his experation date, this game would be tied now.
Ouch. How big is that run Franklin gave up now?
I guess the hitters know it’s no good trying to get the lead before the bottom of the ninth, so they just wait until then to try to take the lead back. If they do it before then the bullpen will just give the runs right back.
Who is Saul Rivera anyway?
How can you not have anyone up in the ‘pen if you’re the Nats?
Yay Edgar!
You really can’t blame this on Franklin, not after the combined clusterfuck of Paronto and Yates…
Chipper for walk-off!
Let’s go Chipper, let’s go!
LOL @ Bill K…
Walk-off HR would be great here
What the hell Chipper?
Great. That’s probably the game.
Actually, I’d take anything except a double play…
Terrible AB by Larry.
Including that.
Whomp whomp.
Should we even be surprised?
It actually doesn’t even hurt anymore
I knew it. They just wanted to get our hopes up a little. Ugh.
Honestly, there, I would have perfered to see McCann up over Chipper and Andruw, but I suppose you really can’t ask for much more (besides a win) than to have your 3-4 hitters up with the tying run on 2nd.
It still hurts a little, Davey.
It might be best to just shut Andruw down. He doesn’t look right.
Over Andruw? Yes. Over Chipper? Not really.
Fewest home wins in the majors…
Most blown saves…
It’s supposed to be the other way around.
Ezra Pound the Fascist poet. Ah yes, and a blasphemous one at that.
He’s still dead.
