Great win last night...
...but one thing bothers me. Maybe it’s nothing, but it’s something I noticed. When the winning run scored, I didn’t see guys come flying out of the dugout in jubulation, excited because they just scored two in the ninth to win. Of course, maybe I just didn’t see it because of the highlight package I saw, and if that’s the case, I take this all back.
But, if they didn’t, I’m kind of disappointed. I guess I like to see guys playing with passion.

My take
There was a good deal of celebration, but PTV is on more stringent time schedules, and are desperate to get back to the already-airing of a Family Guy re-run, so they tend to rush through what they deem “unnecessary” television. If you were watching on PTV, you’d notice Skip Caray’s post-inning thoughts being cut-off, every time.
But if there was less than usual, I’d have to believe that when you’re free-falling, and need a late-inning rally to beat the worst team in the league, after almost losing to them again, there’s not much reason to celebrate.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.

You just missed it then.
Everybody came out hugging and high-fiving.
You can see it if you got to the official site and click on the clips from yesterday. I’ll try and link it, but I’m not sure if it will work.

I guess I should say
I didn’t think they lacked enthusiasm. But, that’s just me. Someone else might perceive it differently.
But, you’d better have stats to back it up…

Amazingly
With the boos that our young right fielder is already receiving for his lack-luster play, Jeff Francoeur is already developing a FART rating, despite still being on the one and only team he has ever played for. Almost halfway through the season, the FART calculator has derived that he has a 0.054 rating.

On a totally different subject
Since you of all people would appreciate it more than anyone else, during the dregs of the middle-innings in last night’s game, I was looking up resource materials about a project that I’d like to do for myself – building a blackjack table.

This one looks nice, but there is one glaring problem with it.
The ugly-ass Cubs logo on the wall behind it.
My artistic-posterior will likely look at pictures for ideas, but pretty much go in my own direction on how I want to build one.

That is a nice table and game-room.
Why would someone deface the wall with that crap?
I am in Cubs-hater mood right now too, because I’m heading to Chicago tomorrow for a conference and my friend going with me is a Cubs fan. We’re going to Cubs-Orioles game Tuesday…
And to get off on a tangent…This is why I don’t like interleague play. Because I would love to go up there and cheer for a NL brethren, but no. Because wins affect the Wild Card standings so that can negatively impact the Braves. This is why I like college sports…Whenever Kentucky isn’t playing, I can cheer for an SEC team because when the SEC does well UK does well.

I would love...
to see, even with two outs, the shortstop field a grounder, toss to second, and second to first to go through the motions of a 6-4-3 Vidro, even though only one out is recorded, just kind of a way to say “what could’ve been.”

Was that he was surprised himself at what he was doing, by the time he realized that he needed to slide, it was too late.

Seriously
If Kotsay abstained from his wife during the baseball season, he would break Bonds’ fake records, Mays’ real records, Henderson’s steal records, bat .500, slug 1.000, OPS 2.000, win a silver slugger, gold glove, and win most improved record, as well as comeback player, just because of such a huge statistical improvement.

Impossible.
He would walk over 600 times, because pitchers would be too scared to pitch to him. Thus, he could not break Bonds’ records, silver slugger.

St Louis is a great baseball town to live in if I cant be in ATL. I was wondering about other Braves fans that are transplanted – do you have much attachement or anything for your hometown teams? I at least got to see the BoSox get rocked twice from my couch.
