so...
what the hell happened? We steal bases and are patient at the plate making him throw 45 through 2.
Oh you didn't hear?
When the A’s came through we actually stole their patience.
That's why you don't run all the time I suppose.
I’m happy to see us taking chances at least, but I hope that doesn’t bite us on the ass.
Escobar's been uncermoniously dumped after hits twice now

WFIS.
That’s worked all season for me so far.
there is a site that a friend of my uses for sports
You have to download some software, but you can get some games that way.
It sucks because
The local station 94.9 (bullatlanta.com) doesn’t do radio feed for make-up games.

Holy Pujols
Francoeur took a pitch.

It's really a thing of beauty
When the old Leo-style of pitching low and away is so consistently visible when you see Glavine’s pitch-trax. So consistently, do all the pitches only get the low and away portion of the K-zone. Nothing ever really erratic, no pitches all over the place.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
The other good part
is how much better that works than the idiotic pitch fastballs inside policy of Stottlemyer which is paying absolutely 0 dividends for Seattle right now.
check out the MLB Gameday on MLB.com. I realized today that they upload videos of the scoring plays during the game. Click on the “new video” tab.

WFIS
You can even here Bobby…do they blank him out for the more than occasional string of obscenities?
You can hear Bobby loud and clear on PTV
But not on SS or FSN.
I laugh every time a guy grounds to short, and you hear Bobby just bark out “shit”
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Bunt time
Please please please let Tommy get this bunt down.
Another P6, and I’ll put my fist through the screen.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Sadly, no.
It’s time to give Ripken some breathing room.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
the classy fans..
on Metsblog are now calling the Braves rednecks and hoping Glavine’s kids get kit by a truck.
Whenever I see Schneider
I look at a guy who looks ever-so relieved to not be in Washington anymore.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
He was talking
About bloggers who “sit around the house and have a few beers” then post things on the internet
not really
He was contrasting how some bloggers really know their stuff, do research and make an effort to provide factual data. And then there’s the other ones.
He actually
was more complimentary of bloggers than usual. He said some are smart and research, just that some are like Gondee. You know, jobless drunks with internet connections.
When they talk about...
...an Inebriate, it’s not automatically assumed it’s gondeee.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
B-Mac and Tex
They’ve been getting things going for us these last two games. The way Glavine is pitching after that first inning I’m feeling good about this game.
Get it started, Chipper!

Pujols damn it!
I’m trying to work! But I can’t focus while they’re a bloody game going on.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Wow.
Heap is hitting .361 against lefties, thats nuts.
The Relationship between David Wright and Men's Butts
He loves them.

Ah
Heap of a bunt. I suppose it works. Especially if they are stupid enough to walk Francouer. Does Randolph read anything about the team he is facing? Frenchy is not clutch, even a little.
I’m just happy Bobby is not putting in Infante or Gotay already.
by Smoltz's Beard on May 20, 2008 2:47 PM EDT up reply actions
hope that means the groin is okay now.
by Smoltz's Beard on May 20, 2008 2:48 PM EDT up reply actions
Thank heavens Alou
has approximately the worst arm ever. He couldn’t throw out heap.
Seriously.
Alou is god awful. Everyone and their mother runs on him.
I have not seen him throw in a while…but seriously? Johnny Damon?
by Smoltz's Beard on May 20, 2008 2:54 PM EDT up reply actions
I'm going to have to go with Damon
He’s got the sissiest arm I’ve ever seen.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Let's also not forget
That Pisshands is anywhere from 41-47 years old. With their Mets hats on, I can’t tell Pisshands from current Darryl Strawberry.

Urine isn't like pinetar
It doesn’t help you grip the ball any better.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
yeah
And the Mets fans are bitching about the strike zone. I wouldn’t know, they don’t show it on WFIS…
8 pitch inning. Including a 3 pitch backwards K for Wright. Love it.
by Smoltz's Beard on May 20, 2008 2:54 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah, after that 1st.
It’s like we put a different pitcher in there. Looks like the Mets won’t be so happy to have let him walk now.
Tommy done eh?
Bobby thinking of running him out on short rest later maybe?
I am Pete's
prognostication equal. Plus Bobby did that with JJ last week.
Whoa
on GameCast, they still have the outdated NYM Gotay picture. Met vs. Met.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Then again
Depending on where you went, the Braves had Arizona Villarreal for like two years.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
This is where Chipper
Hits the F-NY homer from the right side to make a statement.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Gameday says the first pitch went through his knee. Interesting…
by Smoltz's Beard on May 20, 2008 3:01 PM EDT up reply actions
Thank heavens
Chipper is the rare, phase-shifting switch hitter.
Guess not. Guess he’s planning on using Ring for Delgado and Schneider next inning.
by Smoltz's Beard on May 20, 2008 3:03 PM EDT up reply actions
doh. was looking at the wrong inning.

Whew
All this trying to look busy nonsense is hard work.

I'm just like
Randomly opening folders and making sure different things are on screen whenever people walk by.
Oh, and sighing every now and then, to make me sound exasperated.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Yeah
Just do the Costanza and look frustrated all the time. Everyone will think you are working.
Priceless.
I can only hope to construct a bunker underneath my desk.
by Smoltz's Beard on May 20, 2008 3:11 PM EDT up reply actions
It would be even better
If you worked for the Washington Nationals, and had all this Braves stuff underneath your desk.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Then again
What’s the worst that can happen – you get caught and called into Stan Kasten’s office, you shut the door, and then he proceeds to give you one of those Jose Reyes/Carlos Delgado overblown high-five celebrations, and then the two of you compare your Braves knowledge on company time.

As long as I don’t get traded for a fermented chicken drink, I’m cool.

Anyone know what Jose Ascanio has been doing?
Doesn’t look like he’s pitched in The Show at all this year.
Good question
I liked him. Despite how often I confused him with Acosta, I liked what he had.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Same. Ohman is pitching lights out though. Even Infante has had his moments.
by Smoltz's Beard on May 20, 2008 3:12 PM EDT up reply actions
I think I heard he got hurt during a robbery
No kidding – I think he got robbed at a convenience store or something like that…....
He's pitching at AAA Iowa in the Cubs organization:
1-0, 17 G, 9 SV, 21.2 IP, 14 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 1 HR, 8 BB, 23 SO, 2.08 ERA, 1.02 WHIP
Pretty solid numbers…
-RETIRE, BOBBY COX!-
Good to see it’s working out for both sides.

3/4 sleeve.
I like raglans. Didn’t even take a whole week.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I’m still trying to figure this out…Tex has 3 hits today from the left side, McCann is on fire lately, and if someone gets on Kelly has been swinging the bat well also.
Do they not have another lefty after Schoenweis?
by Smoltz's Beard on May 20, 2008 3:15 PM EDT up reply actions
Feliciano
But they’re likely saving him for a more favorable occasion.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Like when?
Turning Chipper and Tex around in the 9th possibly?
by Smoltz's Beard on May 20, 2008 3:17 PM EDT up reply actions
Hell if I know
I’m just going to assume that if there was not another game tonight, that then we might’ve seen him.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
You know if Heilman is slumping for real...
...If Francoeur gets on.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Dear Pujols
B-Mac is an inferno right now.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Who would have thought after that
1st baby braves year, that Heap would end up miles better than Frenchy? Miles!
They gotta stop batting FYF after McCann
It’s like having a really good meal, and then having to go to the bathroom immediately afterwards.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Great stuff.
A 10 pitch AB by Tex that turns into a walk. A 8 pitch AB by McCann that turns into a bomb.
Even Francoeur took 7 pitches to get himself out!
This patience...
Is wonderful. How many pitches has Heap seen today? From the two ABs I was paying attention to alone, he saw 19 pitches. Not including the other two ABs in between.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
10 pitches, 1 pitch, 3 pitches, 8 pitches.
by Smoltz's Beard on May 20, 2008 3:25 PM EDT up reply actions
As long as the 1 pitch
Was his prior hit, then we’re kosher.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Alright
That means Heap is the EXACT opposite of Francoeur right now.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
McCann: 10 pitch F7, 1 pitch RBI single, 3 pitch 3-1, 8 pitch 2-run HR
Francoeur: 3 pitch K, 3 pitch F6, 4 pitch IBB, 7 pitch F6

What the fuck is going on? I come home from work, I see a quality start from Glavine, a shellhammer job on Maine, and Tex with 3 hits and a higher BA than Frenchy. Is this really happening?
I always want to call Ohman
“Whoaman”
Since they always have it as “W. Ohman”
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I get in the habit
Of trying to pronounce everything phonetically sometimes. Even OFTLOC.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Let's not do anything silly.
Like letting a Met reach a base. We’ve got this in hand.
Weren't they both
off of Chan Ho Park?
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
LMAO
anybody actually watching on PTV? Did you see Mr. Met yodel his way off the top of the mountain?
Man.
If we can do this next game, with Campillo pitching, that would be a blessing. Lets get ahead of the Mets by the end of the day!
I don't know how many of you chauvenistic pigs read Maxim
But they did a list of the 10 worst sports announcers. Chip Caray was ranked #2.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Reasoning
Chip’s commentary during the ALDS, and him saying that Andy Pettitte vs. Fausto Carmona was the greatest pitching matchup in the entire history of baseball postseason.

The mag's response was
“Oh yeah? What about Don Larsen’s perfect game?”
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
man
I honestly don’t think he’s all that bad. Why does everyone hate him? I mean, sure, he doesn’t really give us much insight…
Same. He isn’t my favorite, but I had no idea so many people hated him.
by Smoltz's Beard on May 20, 2008 3:39 PM EDT up reply actions
Chip ain't so bad
But then again I love his Dad. On the rare occasions when he gets TV I make sure to watch. Also who doesn’t love his “Foul ball…and a fan from Cairo Georgia sangs a souvenir..” bit. I mean, how does he know where all these people are from?!
Haha...
...Joe and Boog certainly won some points in my book with their most recent broadcast.
by Smoltz's Beard on May 20, 2008 3:42 PM EDT up reply actions
Those two
Have chemistry. Listening them laugh at Heap’s triple, Joe Morgan laughed like Butthead, and well, Boog sometimes has the Beavis hair. But their take on the entire situation made it a whole lot funnier than it was.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Did I say Morgan? I meant Simpson. Duh, me.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Chris Berman was #1
Morgan was like #4 or #3.

is this article online anywhere or was it just in the mag? cuz this sounds like something thats horribly accurate based on what you’re telling me
Most recent magazine

It's so nice having...
...competent pinch-hitters on the bench in Gotay and Norton. I got so used to seeing Woodward and Orr pop the first pitch up, or strike out in 3 pitches.
True
But damn, do I miss Pete Orr. He’s like the Braves’ equivalent of Rudy. My roommate used to work with Pete Orr’s wife too. They lived in Peachtree City, near Huddy, as well.

Worst face is
Brad Wilkerson’s “Oh no! I put Preparation H on my toothbrush this morning!” face. It’s a sight to see.
BWAAHAHAHA
Took me a second to recollect… but damn… whew, I’m wiping away a tear on that one.
There’s also one I like to call the “Dustin Pedroia” face, the way he stretches his face in between every at bat, like he’s got dried up boogers irritating him or something.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
True. True.
He’s not a looker when pitching. Or when doing anything else for that matter.
whats the deal?
Damn – come back from some group therapy and see all these posts? Is this for real? I’m dreaming or something. Tex with 3 hits? Wow. FYF with a walk?? Holy crap, now i’ve seen everything. Oh, wait, it was an IBB.
Piss Hands AB
No reason, just wanted to excuse to write “Piss Hands” again.

you could also
do one from the front, with him adjusting himself…My girlfriend was like “Why doesn’t his Mom or wife tell him to stop doing that on TV?”
Imagine the Felix Pie bobble...
The arm would never stop moving on the junk. Ever.

I’ll be tardy for the night-cap, but I should be present for it.
