My mother once thought baseball was staged. Derek Lowe debunks that.
Your mother also once thought that my backhair was sexy.
I know this discussion is more or less over with, but I gotta say that George Harrison was definitely a superstar in his own right. To compare him to Tom Glavine, “What is Life” is his game 6 in the ’95 WS.
I’ve just started paying attention after being too busy in life, so could you guys help me. A wormhole has shallowed the earth? Jeff ran into the devil on the 7 train? It’s early. Right. It’s early.
Also, does that link remind you of a possessed slot machine sent to haunt braves fans?
Dunn down, Venters up.
An obvious move, as Dunn so clearly showed in all of those appearances he had over the last five games that he didn’t belong.
Well, he WAS a clubhouse cancer, Mac. I mean, think of all those undeserved snack foods that he stuck in gaping maw without any kind of on-field exploits to show he deserved those L’il Debbies.
Edit: For some odd reason, I just loved typing ‘gaping maw’. That just might be one of those phrases that embiggens any written text.
I think Venters was the first choice, but he was unavailable when Reyes first went down. Dunn was just insurance until Venters had normal rest following a minor league start.
Hawks looking good at the half.
Melky is stupid. Where was he trying to throw the ball there?
a 280 ft fly ball from mclouth almost made chip pee his pantolones.
Do you guys know who the other guy with Sutton is on the radio broadcast?
isnt it jim powell? jimenez just hit 100 on the radar gun twice against glaus.

Cut-off man?
Thanks, Ryan.
I think I heard Don just say Tony Schiavone is doing play-by-play for Gwinnett. Wow. I guess we’ll be ready if Craig Kimbrel puts a figure four leglock on someone.
How dumb can you possibly be? I can’t remember the last time I saw a pitcher getting picked off second base!
does that happen? SERIOUSLY?!
…And that happened.
Now he might be gassed.
ugh
could have used a good throw there
Ballgame.
Well, that’s the game.
KK proving to be the best player for Colorado tonight (aside from Jimenez that is)
5 walks, 1 balk, 0 hits.
Why is the organist playing Benny and the Jets?
Joe has a hard on for Todd Helton.
Looking like Jonny Venters is likely to get an encyclopedia entry tonight.
I can’t stand to listen… Has Chip mentioned the no-hitter yet, or does he only jinx the Braves?
If it was Lowe pitching, the Braves probably would be winning 7-4 right now.

At the end of the fourth inning, Chip Caray mentioned it.
He’s mentioned it like every 5 seconds.
Chip Caray: “And Ubaldo Jiménez, a no-hitter through five innings.”
To be fair, Chip Caray’s father was no better when it comes to talking about potential no-hitters and perfect games around the third inning.
“Joe has a hard on for Todd Helton.”
And Martin Prado and Omar Infante and Jair Jurrjens….
Solid inning by Venters.
Well…. if we’re gonna get manhandled and potentially no-hit, at least it’s by a good pitcher
Chip’s knowledge in baseball is as good as any one of us, which means he is completely useless.
Now how the heck did JoJo beat Venters out for the last bullpen spot? Maybe it was an April Fool’s thing?
I have absolutely no clue that Venters can throw this hard.
With a 95 MPH sinker like that, I’m wondering why his minor league numbers were so pedestrian.
Probably because he’s mostly been a starter and therefore doesn’t normally throw that hard.
That reminds me of Andruw.
Seems like every no-hitter/perfect game has at least one play like the one Fowler just made. I’m beginning to worry now that Jimenez may get this done.
How does Chip have this job? I’ve done my share of broadcasting and I think I could be a lot better than he is.
Jimenez is getting really lucky this inning.
Wow.
That looked like a horrible called strike three.
Man, I miss Jo Jo.
Well, our late inning relievers will get another night off.
How does Chip have this job?
Nepotism?
I think we have found our second lefty behind Wagner.
Can we get a hit, please?
Not from Melkless.
Eric Gregg is back!!!
This sucks.
We’re about to get fucking no-hit up in this mug.
I think he just kissed his arm walking off the field. That’s awesome.
You were the only one asking that “question,” Chip.
Mac, Can we get a new poll up between who sucks more
Melky or Chip?
Geez.
“A Rockie mountain high”? F— you.
Ah, Christ. I only hope the Braves fans are booing the Braves.
This sucks. But the fact that Lowe got nine runs of support last night makes it suck even more.
Oh well, congratulations.
Welp, that sucks. But good for him.
That guy was nasty. He was still throwing 98 at 130 pitches.
There is no run support and then there is this. This is just absurd. This is pretty much permanent hibernation mode

@38 False hope on JoJo.
We need this…woman…in the booth.
