Nice to see Tom Glavine beat his old team (that sounds weird) and get today's double-header started off right. Hopefully the rain will hold off tonight and we can get the second game in without any trouble.
In game two we get to see how Jorge Campillo handles starting in the major leagues.
His last major league start was on August 2nd, 2005 for the Mariners against the Tigers in which he lasted one inning before leaving with an injured elbow. He's been pretty good so far this year, and we certainly don't need any more injuries, so here's to hoping Jorge stays healthy and pitches productively.

Not I. Although some guy just threw up in the group of cubicles next to me. Pretty sure that’s my cue to get the hell out of here.

Remember Oscar Villarreal's spot start that one year?
5.0 IP, 1H, 0ER, 1BB, 4K.
Lofty goals for the 08 Oscar to attempt. But whatever, we must protect this house.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Campillo - Villareal
I do remember, and I hope Campillo can do the same. For what we’ve been hearing, he’s going to ROCK the house. Screw Santana, Wright, and Reyes. We GOT this.
This weekend...
...it was said that Campillo is looking to throw around 75 pitches, so there’s a pretty good chance Bennett comes it afterwards. After that we got Resop, Ring, and Stockman who did not pitch this afternoon.
Could be interesting. I hope for our sake the offense pounds Vargas early and often.
Francoeur out of lineup...
Bobby is sitting Francoeur in the nightcap:

-RETIRE, BOBBY COX!-
i think the final straw was today’s game with tex getting 3 hits and frenchy none to give the 20 million dollar man a higher average that hack & jack
Hahahahahahaahahahahaha
$10 million e-dollars for that one.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I'd love to do it...
...but with my first child due any day now, I know I won’t have the time. I do think we have a number of good options, from the looks of it. Going to be a tough decision, Gondeee.
watch out for that comp watching
seriously – someone will be up to bat and you’ll see SmoltzsBeard posting a congratulatory message and you’ll be confused until the AB is ruined for you…..
BigJoe is FOR SURE my pick for NAHWAL editor. Sdp would be fine also, but not my pick to click.
Um.
So, who is that team that’s going to play in the Braves jerseys in this night game? Corky is not good. Not good at all.
BUT HE CAN SURE CALL A GREAT GAME!!!!
i almost hope campillo fails miserably just so corky will not have one redeeming quality left.
Maybe we can dub him
a “professional” hitter. You know, a Vidro, of sorts.
Didn't Gondee link that once
a while ago? Not to harp on you jug, I’m actually just asking.
Maybe
I didn’t see it, but its possible. Like I said, it was on TV just now…
Leave me alone, geez! I thought people would want to know about it.
Let me repeat.
Not to harp on you jug, just asking. You’d know it if I were getting after you. Oh yeah you would!
game time??
when does this game start? One page is saying now, but its not showing up on MLB.TV yet….
hmmm….
Aw crap
Tom Glavine In My Own Words…better than Jeff Francoeur.
Maybe now I can see how he was drafted to the NHL…
He's gotta be thrilled
But I wonder if Bobby will sit him tomorrow? I kinda hope so, maybe 9 innings of thought will motivate him to have more productive at-bats.
i am with you
i doubt it though. He’ll bug Bobby enough to let him, i mean, thats like 24 HOURS away
rain delays are like....
walking down the block in high school to sneak a cigarette and realizing once you get there that you forgot the matches
AJ
Anyone else just hear? AJ might be getting knee surgery…. i wonder if its from falling down after excessive strength swings every AB
Meanwhile on Extra Innings
Yankees gettin’ humilified by the Orioles – key play: Jeter error – Ouch! Jeter pointing fingers at Cano – Good times!
I've been watching
Dave Justice (in his own words, or course), and it’s abundantly clear that Dave is not suffering from low self-image.
Well now
Tardy I am not. I am wearing my J. Kotsay shirt right now… will post details about it soon.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Do my eyes decieve
Corky the Cable Guy is in tonight? Oh Pujols.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Great start
Pile on the offense!
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
And now its fucking freezing up on me, so I get Boog in repeating stereo on Chipper’s hit. M-L-B M-L-B M-L-B
Extra Innings!
They have the joe simpson feed tonite, wfter using the mets this afternoon. I do enjoy listening to ol’ joe….
It would be so nice
If Diaz got a nice base hit right about now.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Because
Blanco is already in, and then they would have to play Francoeur. Better to take some chances.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Black Wilson Betemit couldn't
So I imagine white one can’t. Nah, really I’ve seen him in LF, but only once.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Whoa
Omar making the running grab look easy.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
signed him as a minor league FA this offseason. blew his arm out in 05, had TJ. did not much of anything in seattle’s system the last 2 years
Hell of a find
They must be falling all over each other in the front office taking credit for this guy….
Getting some luck!
Or maybe Delgado is tired from double duty. Who knows, who cares, but I’ll take it!
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Oh man....
No hitter averted.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I will guess
Raul Mondesi.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Hahaha
He wasn’t even a Brave long enough to get a real jersey. His typeface on his jersey looked like team management went down Hank Aaron Blvd. to the bootleg jersey makers, and had them make his jersey for him prior to the game.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I remember Villarreal
Pitched right, batted left. You know, just incase he needed the matchup advantage, being a pitcher and all.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Did anyone catch in Braves Live when in-studio OKT said “you too can stay in the game with Just for Hold Men color”?
Sadly
Those are like the only pictures of OKT you can find on the internets by just google alone.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
In this case...
I am defining talent as the ability to be an erudite and relaxed speaker. She seems much more comfortable in the interviewer role than the studio “anchor” role.
Dos Equis poser
The Most Interesting Man in the World was born out of a petri dish containing lint from Chuck Norris’ beard.
Pujols
When Delgado asks for time, it looks like he’s stopping for Hammer Time.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Eventually
Someone is going to point out that he’s Lance Cormier, and he’s going to suck again.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I wonder if Revolucion can last longer than Glavine?
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
10 says Francoeur PH's for Revolucion.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I'd be careful about that
Most of these guys haven’t seen his full repertoire until now. He’s been awesome, but the jig will be up, if he keeps starting.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
HAHAHAHA
Chipper’s flirting with a hottie on the 3B line.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Ha
FYF: I get to PH first, right? Right??
Cox: ya
FYF: AWESOME! My appearance streak stays alive! YUSSSS!
Cox: shit – we got men on base
FYF: YES! I’ll drive them in coach!!
Cox: norton-y – get in there and pinch hit
FYF: WHAAAT???
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Bennett's only 29
But is treated like an expendable 36-year old arm.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
If that's what you're just seeing
You’re way behind. Wright’s in a 2-2 hole right now.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Escobar.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
If Braves actually got any love from ESPN
That might be a WebGem nominee.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Boyer... again??
Oh Pujols… Elizabeth, I can feel it… here comes the big one!
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I could only wish
It’s like the phrase is not complete without it.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
bigjoe
You know how all of us get pissed when the Towel gives up runs?
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
No
I meant that if we lose this game, you’re basically the equivalent of the Towel for 24 hours.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I can't speak for gondeee
But yes.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Some of labeled him as
the Black (Panamanian) Chris Reitsma, but apparently, he has three more saves than he ever had.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
That was like textbook too
You post early Jamie
BAM
Boyer gives up two, and threaten with more.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I wonder if FYF will PH next....
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Corky
“calls a good game” you know with his .056 average.
bigjoe
You were just smiled down from St. Louis by Pujols himself.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I was just trying to think...
of a latin prayer to Pujols…
you know…In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen
In the name of the father, the son, the holy spirit. amen.
So who is the father and son of baseball? I was thinking the holy spirit we’d say home run. “domus curro(?)” I don’t have very good Latin.
or as bobby would put it
Z-y
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
If only I waited to make the shirts until tonight.
J. Z.
Get it??? JAY-Z??
JAY ZEEEEalright, had to get that out of my system.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Aw shucks
Francoeur looks like Henry F-ing Huggins sitting on the bench all humble.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I think he needed a sit down.
Let’s be honest, he ain’t beating the Streak. So he should get used to taking a day off every once in awhile. Better for him to stay healthy. Plus he’s stinking right now. That’s not helping.
Great idea
Have Glavine come out and get the save.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Who thinks those 2 runs
Are going to be important? Me that’s who. Acosta, scary with the walks.
Dude
Boog just showed some major ESP.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
BINGO.
Thank god for that. Also, he apparently hurt Church.
Oh crap, Escobar better not
have fucked up his knee.
grrrrrrrrrreat
I hope everybody is okay.
But, can’t blame esky, since church took his ass out earlier.
Damn Church
He better not have hurt our Yunel.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Church...
Went just a hair off the line… so he had it coming.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
And for Lizzie and sddbaker
Just for you gals.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
And to think
That bigjoe almost blew a save for us…
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Very few people
Have really dedicated, or anything. All i can say is not to have very high expectations.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I have learned
not the have high expectations about anything…but I didn’t want to get a ticket and make the journey with Jamie close to my heart on the wrong day!
I'll likely be there one way or the other.
I’ll post the question, along with the first shirt images, sometime today or tomorrow.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
SAH-WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!
(ka-thunk)
Sorry, I swooned and hit the floor…but I’m ok!!
Had to get up and look at that AGAIN!
Jose Ascanio
Someone asked about Jose Ascanio earlier today: the Cubs just called him up from AAA Iowa.
-RETIRE, BOBBY COX!-
OKT...
...said “filthy.” I need to record that.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Are you asking
Why to her, as in why did you say filthy, OKT?
Or are you asking what OKT stands for?
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Not just Katy Temple...
OUR Katy Temple. O.K.T.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
She's damn sexy, I think...
... but I haven’t seen her in person so I don’t know yet how hot she really is.
-RETIRE, BOBBY COX!-
I love these highlights.
Jorge Campillo’s first Atlanta start will always be a fond memory now.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
So...
...I got a little too immersed in BioShock and when I checked to see if the rain delay was over it was already 4-0. Regardless, The Rev looked fucking locked in. Very impressive display. And Mark Kotzay certainly capped the night.
I havn’t felt this good since the last time the Braves took two straight from the Mets.

Good game.
I love pipe dream.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
totally
i knew when i got home late it would still be on, so that was awesome, got to turn it on in the 8th… It was a nice surprise to miss the games (most of them) and not have heartburn later on.
And, I have to say, Killa keeps getting it done. He’s a great acquisition. And he saw ONE PITCH!!!!!!!!!! One pitch tonight, and he JACKED it. Oh man that was classic.
