Marlins going to view that as bullshit and retaliate? we shall see

Proctor again ruling the shitter



Did Moylan have all of those arm tats last season?

From the AJC. What the fuck mang?

Quote :

"If Tommy Hanson’s shoulder is bothering him, the Braves want to know. Gonzalez said he and pitching coaching Roger McDowell would talk with Hanson and determine whether the right-hander needs to skip a start or have his scheduled turn Friday moved back. Hanson gave up seven runs in 3-1/3 innings Saturday at New York and fell to 1-3 with an 8.10 ERA in five starts since the All-Star break, after going 10-4 with a 2.44 ERA before the break. After Saturday’s game, Hanson declined to discuss whether he was having any should problems. The right-hander had a 15-day DL stint in June for rotator-cuff tendinitis in the shoulder. The Braves don’t play Thursday, and Gonzalez said Mike Minor could pitch in Hanson’s turn Friday on regular rest. The Braves could shuffle the lineup or skip Hanson’s turn, but Gonzalez didn’t mention the possibility of another DL stint. "

Why can't Derek Lowe get hurt? By the end of the month the Braves rotation will be nothing but rookies and Lowe.

Tuesday night Marlins game, middle of the series, after a rain delay. Over under for tonight's attendance? I'm setting it at 300. At least no blimp tonight.

Holy crap, they just showed the stands. Let me make it an official 250.

is that counting the ushers and security?

8/9/2011 8:35:37 PM

and they're building them a new ballpark? really?

8/9/2011 9:27:55 PM

Government can cover all expenses. Tampa Empty needs a new stadium also since they fudged the roof.

Scoff!

8/9/2011 9:44:31 PM

Uggla, so hot right now. Uggla.

8/9/2011 9:45:07 PM

Uggla beating out a fast dribbler to the shortstop was ridiculous. Are they blood testing beisbolers for HGH yet?

Quickest braves fans have gone from hate to love...ever.

8/9/2011 9:46:37 PM

He's the anti-Raul Mondesi

8/9/2011 9:47:42 PM

Are you falling in love Tyler?

Thirtieth post.

On the next ESPN, 30 for 30, I explain how I had a wolfweb ID thirty years ago, but was mocked into submission.

Bring on one of those 4 superarms we wouldn't trade for .400 30hr Hunter Pence already.

8/9/2011 9:52:21 PM

I'm quite smitten

8/9/2011 9:53:59 PM

Just saying if a gun was stuck to my head and I had to jack off either Uggla or Cantstandya.... they would both go home happy

8/9/2011 9:55:12 PM

unprovoked that was

8/9/2011 9:57:37 PM

TMI dude.

8/9/2011 9:58:34 PM

Jaybee's got some meat hooks, too

8/9/2011 10:03:56 PM

i didnt mind it, had some funny parts .. but just dont expect too much

8/9/2011 10:04:37 PM

Marteen Prado, have to love that guy! Now, as long as Charlie Leibrant is ready for the 7th inning.

8/9/2011 10:10:04 PM

goddamnit

8/9/2011 10:46:17 PM

And the crowd goes wild!

8/9/2011 10:47:23 PM

Could Freeman be a legitimate gold glove candidate?

8/9/2011 11:22:25 PM

with Gonzalez in the AL, Lee spending most of his time this year in the AL, and Pujols being hurt a lot, maybe...

21 extra inning games at this point is NUTS

[Edited on August 9, 2011 at 11:25 PM. Reason : d]

8/9/2011 11:24:49 PM

FFF should run away with the Gold Glove

Unfortunately it seems like those go to names pulled from a hat

8/9/2011 11:25:27 PM

annnnnnnd Chipper is out for a few days...

8/9/2011 11:26:51 PM

Oh Look. Chipper is limping.

8/9/2011 11:28:05 PM

did Cantstandya just lick his bat?

does he do this all the time and I just never noticed?

8/9/2011 11:30:41 PM

Love the section full of yellow shirted event staff just sitting around watching.

8/9/2011 11:30:58 PM

Jim Powell said it was something he always does. I've never noticed it.

8/9/2011 11:31:51 PM

Thanks a lot, Heyward

8/9/2011 11:41:31 PM

HeyLOLWard

wtf? go sit on the bench. Dude just got picked off first(twice), then of course bourn doubles down the line.

8/9/2011 11:41:47 PM

there is no way they win this game, too much goofy shit going on

8/9/2011 11:42:22 PM

48 extra innings so far. unreal

8/9/2011 11:43:21 PM

PRADO

8/9/2011 11:43:37 PM

wow, I thought he had no chance, worst throw ever

8/9/2011 11:43:59 PM

Stanton is used to playing on a field made for beings much larger than humans

8/9/2011 11:44:37 PM

That throw was awesome.

8/9/2011 11:46:02 PM

LOL

gg to the Braves for that win last night.

Saw this blip on Kimbrel. Unreal. Him and Freeman will be a close vote for ROY.

Quote :

"He’s been overshadowed lately by Uggla’s hitting streak, but Kimbrel is doing things that we just don’t see 23-year-old rookies do. The flamethrower from Huntsville leads the majors with 35 saves, strikeouts by relievers (89 in 56-2/3 innings) and strikeouts per nine innings (14.14). In his past 25 games, he has a microscopic .088 opponents’ batting average in 24-2/3 scoreless innings, allowing just seven hits and seven walks with 41 strikeouts in that stretch. "

8/10/2011 8:39:12 AM

so 22 of the 30 games are 1-hit games

lowest batting average for 30+ game hitting streak

8/10/2011 10:06:51 AM

Yea but. Every game he goes 1-4 he's raising his batting average
