Atlanta Braves II

RT @Scotty's Flat Top: Boom. Go braves

You guys should be glad that most of you aren't Hawks fans. They're a dozen times more frustrating than the Braves. Asshats.

And Joe Johnson sucks worse than the bastard child of Gary Sheffield and Yunel Escobar.

My team blew a 27 pt lead in minutes. Let's leave the NBA talk in that forum for now ha

They are still the Hawks? I thought they changed their name to the Freakniks.

Chipper!

Chipper!

Every time he moves it looks like it hurts, but man that guy can still hit.

I've been to see two games in Coors, left to go drink beer by the 6th inning both times, and both times both teams had already scored in double digits. I saw Denny Neagle hit a grand slam. It's a great ballpark, but what they play there isn't really baseball.

Man, I was discouraged when it was 5-0 in the 1st...this team can score some runs.

Especially on non-sinking sinkers.

No lead is safe at Coors.. We learned that one the hard way

It's professional softball in disguise.

Durbin must lead the league in appearances.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Let's get the lead back here and do the EOF-Venters-Kimbrel dance.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Uh.....or not.

7-7 in the 7th inning . . . and Hudson is hitting for himself.

It isn't baseball.

Which is a shame, because Denver's one of my favorite cities and Coors really is a beautiful park. The baseballs in the humidifier helps, but the physics of playing at outfield just change everything about the game.

You know it!!

Are they still using the humidor out there?

Ground rule double. FML

 

[GAVol]

There's a rule I hate. Runner on 1st and a ground rule double only allows the runner to advance to 3rd when an average speed base runner scores easily. They should change the rule to allow the runner to score with 2 outs since everybody knows he's breaking at the crack of the bat regardless.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

I'm following on MLB Gameday....was it not a deep enough double to send Wilson home?

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

There's a rule I hate. Runner on 1st and a ground rule double only allows the runner to advance to 3rd when an average speed base runner likely scores.

Ah, that explains it.

Some crap luck right there.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Yes. It helps, but not enough.

Being he Rockies' GM must be one of the hardest jobs in the game. How the hell do you even sort of evaluate your players?

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

And now the pitching change?!?!? WTH????
