PrintOakland Athletics at Atlanta Braves, May 18, 2008 1:35 PM EDT
Well, at least we made it another one-run loss last night... that's just extra salt in the wound. Let's see how long Jo-Jo can last against the A's today. Apparently, Hudson woke up the A's bats... that's not a good thing.

Nice
Mike Sweeney is a douche. He just gave Petit’s first base hit baseball to a fan in the stands.
real men, don't wear small.
Seems like
The only way Frenchy would get on base. If I drank a beer for every 0-2 hole Frenchy’s been in, I’d be … bigjoe.
real men, don't wear small.
Pujols damn it!
How many K’s do the Braves have as a result of a 2-strike bunt foul??
real men, don't wear small.
WTF
Is Francoeur thinking?? He needs to use some of that old Parkview DEATH ROW defense to tackle the snot out of a catcher, and hope to jar the ball lose on that bonehead nonsense baserunning.
real men, don't wear small.
I agree...
but really what could have Frenchy done? He could of crushed the catcher, but that could’ve resulted in an injury to either player. I have always thought that crashing into the catcher is overrated and I think some guys go out of their way for contact. Wasn’t that in 2005 when Estrada got smashed on for no reason (which opened the door for McCann)?
I think he’s my favorite of the new blood. Francoeur has been disappointing.

Oh yeah
Last night at the game, Oakland players were TOTALLY doing some ass-watching during the 7th inning stretch.
real men, don't wear small.
fundamentals
two runners thrown out at the plate, ANOTHER double play by teixeira, blanco caught in the rundown, missed sac bunt opportunity by jo jo, had he gotten the bunt down francoeur wouldve scored easily on escobars hit. It seems like the braves are begging the A’s to tie it
I wince
Watching Chipper cringe his way to third… Great hit, but man I worry about the Man.
real men, don't wear small.
I almost couldn’t believe it when he pulled the ball in the air. So used to vidro.

I don't know how
But somehow, Frenchy will hit into a DP. I can feel it.
real men, don't wear small.
Didn’t like the move…but I’m an idiot in hindsight.

Ha
They were too busy celebrating the insurance runs, Bobby forgot to make the pitching change. Way to waste five minutes Cox!
real men, don't wear small.
Thanks
I don’t know why you waited but there’s few things in life better to look at then a good looking woman playing softball.
I think it’s because it combines two of my favorite things so nicely.

I waited because...
I only post the picture corresponding with the jersey the team wears when they win. This is the first home-alternative Sunday game we’ve once since this trend started.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a Pujols damn debate.
It all makes sense now
I saw the original of that one earlier today and hadn’t realized it was a photoshop.
Think we’ll EVER get to post one with a grey or even alt blue jersey?

Great game...
...Jo-Jo is slowly proving himself to me, getting back in my good graces. Bullpen looks great, and is only going to get stronger. McCann is silly. Francoeur not so much. Even Tex had an XBH.
But the MVP of the game had to been Boog and Joe. I was laughing my ass off the entire game.
Francoeur...
...is what I would think is the biggest concern. He looks like 2006 Francoeur who is hacking away at everything. The difference is that in 2006, he actually connected every once in a while, even if his average isn’t reflecting on it. The 2007 Francoeur was a threat at every PA; it’s like he adjusted to go the other way, and now that that’s out of the bag, he’s out of ideas.
But I agree with Boog and Joe. That was some amusing stuff, and eventually one of these days, Boog is going to don the black eye mask.
real men, don't wear small.
I wish I could have heard Boog and Joe.
But since I am in the bay area I was stuck with the A’s announcers…..BORING!
Haha…that was funny stuff. I was also laughing when they were so disappointed in their AFLAC trivia answers, and their Bark at the Park day annecdotes. It certainly was a “doggone” good win.

The best part
Except for the win of course, was near the end when they showed the shot of the two weenie dogs wearing Braves T’s. Classic.
One of the best games of the year IMO.
Caught the end on XM
Always a little dicey with Acosta IMO (Skip made a good point about how he’s always pitching behind in the count), but I’ll take the two of three as stated above. Man, if Huddy had only been on his game Saturdau, coulda been a sweep.
Now to root for the Yanks tonight (as much as I don’t want to)...
Nice win
Reyes has actually outlived my expectations. Truth is, I didn’t expect James to do quite as bad as he has but I really didn’t expect to see so many quality starts from Reyes either.
Nice win yesterday and nice weather to see it in. I like getting series wins and it makes me feel a little better about hosting the Mets starting tomorrow with some positive momentum going our way.
Here’s a raised eyebrow at seeing Campillo start. I like the move but I hope he can give us five good ones. Our bullpen has been the strongest weapon in our arsenal lately but I would still like to see a good start from Jorge.
Let’s beat the Metros!
