It's rather maddening how this one-run crap continues. It is someone new every night who doesn't seem to be coming through in key situations and far too often it's more than one player. Our team batting average at home is the second best in baseball at .307, but our team batting average on the road is a measly .248 -- in the bottom third of all teams in baseball.

weird... and funny
I have no idea why the Braves are being referred to as the Elizabeth City St. Vikings, it’s some sort of bug in the system. Though on some level it may be appropriate.
Yesterday we were trying to figure out how to spot Jug at the game...
so, in addition to the hilarious video Beard just offered up in the last game’s thread (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcKeDPG_lMQ), here’s another way to possibly identify our friend Jug (he said he might throw beer and pizza) at today’s funfest:
(all in fun, dude, hope you don’t mind :)
Thats realy wierd...
ECSU is right down the road from me…
So I dont get the Saturday day games...
something about Fox and exclusive rights. Was just wondering if anyone knew any websites that broadcast the radio feed for free??

- Oh, Bobby. -
Good weather is upon most people...
... lots of people are probably out an about today.
- Oh, Bobby. -
haha
I concur…sometimes at the Ted I hang out in the concession area and watch the game so I can hear the radio announcers too.
Well because I am in Cali I get the Dodgers vs. Mets game.
I can only listen on the radio today. I am pissed at Fox, I pay all of this money for the games through cable and I can’t watch shit on Saturdays.
Join the club!!
Im in NC and I get the damn Mets game
Todays (Braves) Fox TV broadcast isn't too bad
Leo Mazzone is a guest broadcaster. But I still came back to radio…don’t have a laptop.
holy CHRIST. I see Jair getting shellacked, and we came back to tie it? WITH A CLUTCH HOMER FROM TEX??
pinch me
Plus a triple from JJ.
That’s helping your own cause!
i thought you said triple play at first, and i almost died. but he’s proven to be a semi-capable bat, so thats always a bright spot
Plus they always say on the radio.
That Bobby thinks he’s the fastest on the team.
wow that took
like 2 minutes to show up on ESPN. Terrible.
WOW...
...just got home to see JJ cough up the lead, and then Ring make a HUGE pitch.
What was wrong with Jurrjens today?
This Chipper Jones guy
is pretty good. We should lock him up before anyone finds out.
Let's do some damage Heap.
Please for your team!
Crap.
If we don’t score soon, I know how this game will end.
Also.
Yunel owes JJ a beer, because that flip was terrible.
haha, just such a crazy feeling being like “okay…i know we scored runs…but how many…WOO HOO BOMB BY TEX!”

he must be moved from
the 1 spot. Immediately.
maybe?
All I know is Yunel is much, much better batting 2nd than 1st.
actually.
KJ is better deeper in the lineup. So, Blanco is probably the way to go. or Kotsay.
I’d like Blanco up there. Takes alot of walks, and has speed to boot.
by Smoltz's Beard on May 31, 2008 6:33 PM EDT up reply actions
Huh...
...check out Yunel’s career splits:
Batting 1st (243 PAs): .326/.373/.439 – .812 OPS
Batting 2nd (220PAs): .312/.377/.432 – .809 OPS
Who knew?
by Smoltz's Beard on May 31, 2008 6:40 PM EDT up reply actions
He’s had 83 PAs in the 8th spot. Not much else.
by Smoltz's Beard on May 31, 2008 6:44 PM EDT up reply actions
This year though.
Not so much. If he could recapture whatever it was he had last year, then leave him in.
very true…his OPS in the leadoff spot this year is .644

if it hasn’t yet, Bobby will ride it until it does.

be patient, grasshopper. fresh arms are A-COMIN! though they said on the radio bobby wants gonzo to get TWO WEEKS of rehab in…ugh, we need him NOW.
Yeah...
they are the ones I am alluding to. I heard that on the radio also. I’m ready for a dose of SMOLTZ!
Sure I do...baseball...
Yeah, I have to think about baseball A LOT when I see him (wink, wink)...btw still waiting for your run-down of the Power Lunch…
Shit.
Now Griffey is up sitting on 599 as the winning run.
I was nervous once FYF put us ahead by 1

Okay a Vidro right here.
Let’s just get out of here.
i guess they said it was a slow chopper
by Smoltz's Beard on May 31, 2008 7:22 PM EDT up reply actions
I guess
Heap was soooo mad that Bobby thought he had made the tag. On the replay you can see the runner was safe, but Heap was yelling so much, Bobby came out to back him up. Plus they said he was just plain pissed at the calls throughout the game.
Oh, was that a rhetorical question?
i don’t even wanna listen to the rest of this, i’m that fucking pissed right now. maybe this whole HOLY TRINITY thing really isn’t worth much of a shit.
we REALLY need a fucking fred mcgriff-esque trade. this left field horse shit isn’t going to cut it for long. we need another one of those cocksuckers that can hit the ball out of the ballpark. maybe we could get manny ramirez if we offered a tex sized bundle. i know, i’m a dreamer. how about bay? or even nady?

I was just thinking this afternoon
after the game, that tomorrow they should really, really try to lose by one run. So, of course, they wouldn’t. Except they would probably lose by about 10.
