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 saw FYF was on the bench.

Tomorrow he will go 4-4 with 2 Homeruns (including a walk-off), with 5 rbi

No he wont

Ben Sheets will make him look like Mendoza, and force Bud Selig to officially rename it the Francoeur line.

This is a strange feeling.

6-0 in the 5th inning?

I don’t understand what is going on.

Go on, ask if anything surprises me.

when Acosta comes in, you will begin to feel more regular

Excerpt from Joey “Odysseus” Devine

June 20, 2007

The Braves are losing to the Red Sox, 11-0 in the bottom of the 8th.

Bobby: Consarnit!! Who’s going to pitch the 9th?
McDowell: You’ve used everyone but Joey Devine.
Bobby: What’s Devine doing up here?!
McDowell: He just got called up today to replace McBride.
Bobby: Aw, hell. Get Francoeur out there.
McDowell: Um, he’s still playing rightfield. And he hasn’t pitched since high school.
Bobby: FINE. Put Mr. Grand Slam in. Not like this could get any worse.

Devy: /gives up two hits
Heap: /goes out to the mound
Heap: Hey, what’s the matter?
Devy: Nothing . . . I think I’m just nervous. Bobby only trusts me to pitch games where we’re losing by double digits.
Heap: Well, you’ll have to earn his trust back, you knew that. C’mon, I know you can do it, just don’t overthink.
Devy: Okay. Thanks, Heap.
Devy: /gets out of the inning without giving up a run

Heap: Hey, good job!
Devy: Thanks!
Bobby: Kid!
Devy: . . . Me?
Bobby: Yeah, you. We just got a new reliever from the Tigers. Here’s your bus ticket home.
Heap: This is the second time we’ve sent him back this year—can’t we at least spring for a flight?
Bobby: Oh, I’m sorry, are you Brian McCann, starting catcher AND traveling secretary?
Heap: . . . No.
Bobby: That’s what I thought. See ya later, Devine.

Heap: Geez, Joey, that stinks.
Devy: No, that’s okay. I knew I wasn’t up to stay . . . they need a lefty reliever.
Heap: Well, at least you got to pitch this time!
Devy: Yep! See you later, Heap.

Go on, ask if anything surprises me.

i remember that… although, in the end, it was like “This is the 6th time we’ve sent him back, cant we spring for a flight?.......”

I believe

She got a real job with real responsibilities, and apparently doesn’t have the time to post.

And/or she finds us all juvenile and doesn’t want anything to do with us…

Miss her amusing commentaries. I can only do so much with creating schizophrenic Francoeur…

pitching vs. batting

i find i’m way more interested in catching the pitching innings, and i’ll take more bathroom, fridge, and other breaks during batting times than I would otherwise. I think it stems from the idea that I believe we can score, well, but i’m more nervous about giving up runs

I saved the image

To be used when the opposing closer blows a save, but we haven’t had many opportunities other than CJ Wilson.

Another great game

Once again I am late getting to the party, but I like the results. Fortunately by brother kept me updated with a couple of timely phone calls.

Ladies and gents, we’re only 4 back of the Phils…a hearty thanks to the Angels for taking care of business.

Here’s to a successful week!
