Braves at Pirates, Game 2... For the love of all that is holy, WIN!
Atlanta @ Pittsburgh
Seriously, this road record has reached absurdity. And now Teixeira has back spasms. I really despise games in which we have more hits than our opponent, but still manage to lose. Hudson has to get us back on track in Game 2.

Take a look
at Van Benschoten’s stats: http://mlb.mlb.com/stats/individual_stats_player.jsp?playerID=429724&statType=2
Obviously, he really sucks. So we have no chance.

nothing like
ATJ to lead-off with a K. The domination of JVB begins. He will probably have a perfect game.

a perfect game
would not allow us to have any LOB…
so won’t happen.
by sddbaker on May 12, 2008 3:46 PM EDT 0 recs
good point
and the no-hitter already broken up by Yunel. But he’ll be LOB.

so depressing
nothing worse than missing a day game while at work. Oh wait, yeah there is. Missing it after they’ve been shutout with more hits than the opposition. Oh wait, it gets worse even? Missing TWO day games that we’re going to lose?
Someone, please, make yourself a player.

Pete
just announced that the Braves will not lose all the rest of their road games.
That’s a relief.

Huh?
Yahoo original said the game started at 4:05, and here we are already losing.

are you
more surprised the game already started, or that we are already losing?

How bad did Norton botch the play they scored on?

tough play
Weird hop, tough play for someone who is used to being on the bench or DHing…

wasn't...
horrible. but should have been routine. The worst part was he should have just let All Thumbs Jefferson grab it. At least the E would have been on Thumbs and not the rake.

we can bunt for a base hit
but not for a sacrifice?

Hahahahaha
Damn, I dropped down a few posts in the old thread back there. Didn’t realize that a new one was present until a run scored, and nobody said a thing.

Blanco gets on, steals a base, and knocked in by Escobar. That kinda sounds like what leadoff hitters are supposed to do..

I was wrong. Please let us win on the road finally. That’d be a nice plane ride, for them at least.

I hate to be a buzzkill
But there’s one guy we haven’t seen in quite a while.
His name starts with a T, ends with an L, and his first name is “The”

come on, too early…only the 4th.
Plus, Bennett has had about an hour to rest. He should be ready to go.

Too true. Bennett’s arm is going to pop out of its socket like Gary Busey in Rookie of the Year.

For a 29 year old...
Bobby sure treats Bennett like a 38 year old come back veteran stop-gap relief pitcher that they have no intention of using the next year.

Useless trivia via Boog
Matty Alou- 1st batter in Fulton Co. Stadium (played for Pittsburgh)
Felipe Alou- 1st Braves batter there
Moises Alou- Last batter ever

You guys know
that Tommy G was drafted by the LA Kings?

Jug, you didn’t catch the IN MY OWN WORDS TOM GLAVINE, in the 72 times SportSouth’s already played it?
He chose baseball for longevity, and clearly he chose correctly.

Back when Kendall was on the Pirates...
...he tried to make an extra step and beat out a grounder, but hit the bag akwardly and went tumbling. When he finally stopped he was on his back clutching his leg, broken right between the ankle and knee…pretty much looked like it was hanging on by a thread.

Unfortunately
But I saw worse playing football. Guy had a similar ankle injury as Kendall’s. Cut right off my block, tried to do a spin move and spun off his ankle.
