And now, a pig with the face of Bill Hohn:
As a bonus, Melky Cabrera is the Flaming Carrot.
Go Vols
For a carrot, Melky sure is FAT!
Does anyone know what kind of raise Jurjjens should get next year? That, plus McLouth’s raise, will probably offset a fair amount the money “gained” from Wagner and Saito coming off the books, though I don’t know for sure.
Amidst the Braves problems
The answer is very clear
Clone Jason Heyward
I really don’t like my Gamecocks being ranked so high this early in the year. It’s going to make the inevitable losses to Auburn, Bama, Florida and, in all likelihood, Vandy, that much more painful.
Wait, I don’t think I’ve determined my allegiance this year. Am I a Vandy fan again?
We can use all the
Support we can get! This year
Doesn’t offer hope.
Next year, though, with an
Easier schedule and an
Older team … maybe.
I know! A contest! Whoever answers this question gets to decide my allegiance (note: it must be an SEC team that doesn’t employ an ex-Falcon head coach). Agreed? Good! First, watch this video. Then post the names of the two vocalists. There is also another prize for the incorrect answer that I anticipate. Mac is ineligible for that prize since I’m sending him that answer. He is, of course, eligible to make me root for Bama.
Game on!
“Amon Amarth”? Wow, that’s some high nerditude there.
Ah, Georgia. That was quick.
I was going to guess Triple H and the Undertaker, but that one dude looks like Vince Neil.
Stu,
You didn’t phrase that answer in the form of a haiku.
Not that you had to, I was just pointing that out. In any case, you are eligible to determine whether or not I eat natto next week (as long as you answer no), but you are currently not eligible to name my SEC team. Unless you come up with the correct answer next time.
Oops. Would you believe
Me if I told you that was
A different Stu?
I’m not sure Werth is really as good as the money he’ll get, especially in Turner Field where it seems like hitters go to become an albatross.
Still he’s the best RH bat on the market.
JJ’s upcoming arb raise is another reason I wouldn’t be heartbroken about trading him. I’m at the point where I’d rather see a bad pitcher lose the game than have a good pitcher pitch a great game and still lose because we can’t score more than 3 runs.
Stu,
I can see that you went to a quality school since you credit “different” with three syllables.
LG Petrov and
Johan Hegg. Yes, I’ll cheat to
Win Vanderbilt fans.
Go Vandy!
Trying to decide who’s more mockable in the Cow Bowl, Auburn or Clemson.
@18:
The Tigers.
Apparently, the ACC has decided that since basketball has been a success for them, 56-52 is a good score for a football game too.
If your name is not
From Lord of the Rings, you’re not
A real metal band.
@20
Trust Tech to chew up 11 minutes for three points. Where’s the dang shot clock when you need it?
I see Ryan Mallet is help pack Mark Richt’s moving truck…
Infante
Heyward
Prado
Bmac
Lee
McLouth
AAG
Diaz
Huddy
Arkansas’ corners and safties are helping with unloading that truck also
I will again ask if anybody has a radio link for today. I tried the one from last week and it doesn’t seem to be working today. It appears I have Pads-Cards today on Fox.
You would think that Urban Meyer would come up with the idea of: “Hey, let’s try someone else at center!”
Duke, you’re going to have to turn in the Colts jerseys and put on these Bengals ones.
Everybody is watching football today ? No radio link ? It would be greatly appreciated.
@26
I live in Clarksville…undisputedly in Braves territory, and yet Fox decided to give me Cards-Padres. Kind of outrageous.
The only reason Bama won’t score 100 points is because they’ll put the third string in before the half is up.
Hey, guys? How about not grounding out on the first pitch for a change?
@29 the only link I know is the one I gave you last weekend :/
NATE!
Former All-Star Nate McLouth!
http://listen.mediatechusa.com:8080/wada
Tomas, thank you very much. Every link that I seemed to have would not play. You are the man.
Hey, that was former Brave Luis Hernandez striking out. Yet another former Brave on the Mets — who knew?
Finally, we get the pitcher out!
Luis actually had an RBI against the Braves in Atlanta when I was there.
Saito’s getting an MRI on Monday.
I think that was the only one of my radio links that didn’t have football talk.
Less Mets on the bases, please.
Tulo with a homer and a double so far today, he’s just being nuts at the moment.
Dammit, Reyes.
That’s one way to have fewer Mets on the bases…
Edit: And there’s another, better way.
Whew, feels better when we turn them.
is prado more impatient in the 3 hole or is it just me?
AAG! That’s quite one hell of a play.
Ryan, you might be right about Prado. But don’t forget his broken finger.
So, I picked Alabama 41-6 and it’s 42-6 right now.
Have you guys seen the Mets video being passed around on twitter? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVkalfhzvVA
It’s really funny!
Nice play, AAG.
And now, our least favorite way to start an inning.
Oh, hell, Nate, you can hit it deeper than that.
AAG!!! (OK, he got thrown out, but still…)
I like runs.
Can’t stand not being able to watch the game. DAMN FOX!
I’ll take a double with men on plus the out at third over meekly grounding/striking/popping out like we are used to as soon as someone reaches second.
Another double play! I like when the other team hits into them.
OK, that we didn’t need.
Also didn’t need Tulo to hit his second HR of the game.
Luis Hernandez?
Really sucks that Hudson is cratering.
Tulo just hit his second homer of the game.
Troid Tuloroidski, imo.
Apparently Luis Hernandez is Spanish for “Kirk Gibson.”
McCarver, I don’t care about what happened in the Yankees game yesterday.
But that’s all McCarver cares about.
mac, do you mean tim carver? he most definitely doesnt deserve the mc.
Beltran is a zombie.
Tulo now has twice as many homers in Sept as the entire Braves roster.
Beautiful curveball. Six strikeouts for Hudson on the day, against just one walk. That’s a hell of a lot better than he was early in the year.
“Tools of Ignorance” describes this announcing duo perfectly.
Dotel traded to the Rockies for a PTBNL, 7 weeks after being traded for James McDonald and Andrew Lambo. Sometimes I wish we’d been in position to trade the Dodgers a reliever or two at the deadline in recent years.
I’m probably in the minority, but I hate pitchers bunting with one out and giving the opposing team the free second out. Especially with only one runner on.
Tommy Hanson for Tulo.
If that fly had been hit with Melky in left, Thole would be on second. At least.
“And a good move by Bobby Cox, putting the better glove [Nate McLouth] in left field (as opposed to center).”
Okay, 7 strong for Hudson. What do you think, EOF or Venters?
@74
matt diaz was in left. he moved mclouth from center to left. carver is dumb but that wasnt a very stupid quote.
Venters.
Jim pointed out that Martin isn’t running well. Anyone have any idea when he might have injured his legs?
Very nice DP.
Tennessee might be better off letting Bray learn on the job.
Tennessee might be better off just dropping down to Division III and avoiding all the pressure.
NATE!!
who the hell is wearing mclouth’s uniform?
Where was this Louth before September?
Mc-OUT of the park strikes again
mclouth wears a magnetic necklace.
alex doesnt…and that’s 100% of the reason why that ball didnt go out.
Anyone listening to the radio broadcast? They are saying Chipper is responsible for McLouth’s turnaround. Worked with him on his swing…. Can we fire T.P. yet?
I am so happy,
Both about and for Nate. We
And he needed this.
Louth Hammer!
Can’t be too harsh on TP though. We don’t know how much he worked with Prado and Infante.
some might disagree with this, but outside of our games with them, as long as we win, i’m ok with the phillies winning. here is my thinking…
i don’t think we are going to catch the phillies. that being the case, i just assume that when we get to that final series vs the phillies, the division not be in doubt. lets take the wild card and use those three days (or 2, or whatever) to rest up. i think of all the times this team lost to wild cards in the postseason, i’d love to see what happens the one time we are the WC.
But i think its more to our advantage to have those three days to rest mccann and prado and these guys who are clearly tired, than to play to the death for a, to me, futile attempt at catching the phillies.
Again, if we were to sweep them in philly next week, that changes things. But this is all assuming everything stays the same…
landogarner? we thought you were dead.
Glad to see McLouth hitting well – especially after his lack of attitude after being temporarily exiled to AAA.
Cards are losing it.
Still alive.
I’m pleased that this team can win a game where the dominant contributions are from the “weak spots” in the lineup: CF; 1B; and SS.
I also love how well our ace pair of Hudson and Hanson are pitching lately.
Luis Hernandez has a broken bone in his foot, he’s headed to the hospital for surgery. He broke his foot and then homered.
If we could just avoid giving up homers to pitchers and people with broken bones, we’d still be in first.
No muss, no fuss, no Mets win.
Braves win!
Can we just play the mets for the rest of the season.
101 — For some reason we seem to beat the Mets easier than the Nationals and Pirates.
Padres lead 4-2 in the 7th.
Rockies are blowing out the Dodgers.
Recapped.
