For what?
That’s rhetorical… but what is he REALLY suspended for? F-bombs? Since when?
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
No Gregor
Don’t sas the ump…you are too young and too unknown.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
The stupid Marlins announcers...
...really do actually call Willingham the Hammer. Every time.
Do they understand what they are doing?
OH HOLY SHIT
the fucking marlins announcers just said not having andruw jones and edgar renteria is a reason FOR US STRUGGLING. fucking REALLY?
I'll have a scotch on the rock, please.
(Shareholders meeting)
so...
open-thread participation has really fallen off lately, huh?
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
The bigjoe & jug show...
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Morton's
got pretty good velocity tonight at least.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Chipper & Smoltz
Playing backgammon… would love to have been there for that.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Could they play that on SportsSouth occasionally
instead of the Francouer documentary?
In this new wing world,
anything is possible.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Well
We can swing by Sugarloaf on the way up, and look for some of Mike Vick’s leftover dog cages, and stage some cage fighting of a different variety if you want.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Closest one
Is Cumberland
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I'm sure your ex
can tell you exactly how hard she sucked when you get back.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Just the gut?
I assumed a right-hook to the jaw would be in order. Or, a frog-splash from the top ropes. Which you prefer. I deserve it.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Hmm
Didn’t we destroy Vanden Hurk on his debut against us, and then he became unhittable for the next two starts?
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
What a shot.
Too bad it wasn’t clutch.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
I dunno
But I always think it’s funny when they claim a ball is too high whether or not to determine whether it’s a homer or foul.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I believe that was
a Major League reference.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
That was headed
For the gulf of Mexico.

grrrrrrrrrrrrreat
Herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre’s JEFF
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Alright
Let’s all channel positive thoughts…C’MON JEFF! BASE HIT!
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
DAMNIT YOU SONUVABITCH
Back to AA with you!
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Of course...
rather a K than a GIDP.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
LOL
Every time I heard Chino Cadahia’s name, I think about that analogy gondeee made about seeing him coming out of the shower in the locker room.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Welp
At least there is no Vidro.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
If we see 3 straight K's
I will probably cry.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
I am still crying
and smashing shit.
But, strangely, I’m also numb…as if I’ve seen that happen before. Many, many times before.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Which...
I’m sorry Bobby or Fupa, all due respect, why do you continue to hit FYF 6th? He is 3-22 with bases loaded. Clearly, Chipper, Tex, and McCann are men. I’d rather see Kelly batting 6th, Kotsay 7th, Pitcher 8th, FYF 9th.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
No point
In complaining about it. I’m laughing – resigned to the fact that if we win, it is most certainly LOL worthy.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
eyes are welling.
and no, I’m not gellin’
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Are those onions you're cutting?
Is it dusty in here?
Doesn't matter
We’ll get shut out my Kevin Gregg and his lame Kareem Abdul Jabbar glasses and funky facing the batter pitching stance.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Not Surprising
That Jeff, Kelly and Mark K. couldn’t do nothing with the bases loaded. Like the broadcaster, just one of the many things wrong with this team

Balls
Lame excuse – I have a couple of MiLB baseballs as well as ones I’ve shagged in MLB BP. They’re the same thing, practically. It’s all in his head.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Speaking of the Hammer
You know Greg Valentine still wrestles? I saw him in a indy christian fed show in Atlanta last summer. Hasn’t aged a day since 1990, but is a little slower.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
LOL
At Joe making subtle reference to BMac’s individualized Catching gear.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
BS
That was a perfect backdoor slider.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
We should ask Chris Guccione
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
BS
Kelly Johnson had the tag right on Cantu’s ugly ass Charles Bronson moustache.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Is Cantu
actually a troll?
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Wow
He hit that before I could type “Jacobs is going deep.”
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Note to Francoeur and the Braves in the bottom of the lineup
That’s how you hit with runners on base.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
stupid broadcaster jinxed us
no wait….Morton just sucks thats it

Which former Marlin to we have in th eminors?
The guy who killed everyone during Spring Training? Why don’t we call him up or something? it’s not like we can do any worse.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
We could always do worse
We could lose to the Nationals by 9 at home…Oh wait, shit…
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
but the brightside to that game was that Bobby got another ejection…..oh and lets not forget the two meaningless home runs Teix hit

Serious question:
Francoeur…Bad year? Or, pitchers figured him out and he isn’t adjusted, therefore not going to get better.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
I honestly think that he has never had to make adjustments before...
when you grow up a legend, you don’t learn how to work through problems when you face people as talented as you.
But I agree with The Natural, it’s both.
believe it or not, his K/BB is actually drastically down this year, so we can’t blame that. his GIDP/PA though, its through the fucking roof…which is actually worse
That's the thing
He is leading the team with 69 SOs, I believe. Which, honestly, 69 strikeouts at this point in the year is not TERRIBLE by any means, but his flirting with the Mendosa line and flirting with .000 with RISP is HORRIFIC.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Lance Barkdale
He’s kinda inconsistent with the calling of breaking balls and sliders.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Similar / Different
John Lannan
Kirk Vanden Hurk
Cole Hamels
Oliver Perez
One of those is not like the other. But what they all have in common is that they’re all in the NL East, and they own us like slaves before the Civil War.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
yeah, charlie needs to go back to richmond…i said from the getgo he’s not fucking ready. BRING ME THE HEAD OF TOM GLAVINE ON A STICK
To Chuck's credit
He should have had at least a 1 or 2 run lead and been out of the inning with a K, rather than the BB and HR.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Bet you
HanRam gets the sac-fly or better.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
good
I bet you Hermida goes yard or gets a base-hit.

I think we're on to something here

Send Morton back down and bring Ridgeway back up….now that’s a guy with some upside

Jeff Ridgeway is the next Wil Ledezma…....LMAO

OH F*CK
we had yet to get a hit, I had not even realized. But, I’m not that surprised.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
If only our #1, 6, 7 and 8 hitters were half as good as the other part of the lineup, man would we be a lot better and the standings would show that.

This offseason
What should Wrenn look to upgrade?
by ChipperTeixeira89 on Jul 22, 2008 8:49 PM EDT reply actions
the outfield. by far. dump them all. sign a shitload of free agents. schafer is DEFINITELY not ready to start, considering down in pearl, his average is lower than the walking corpse’s. kotsay has slumped horribly since he’s come back, you can tell the back is still bothering him. blanco can walk, but he can’t hit worth a lick and has the power of a flea.
my thoughts exactly, it’s just too bad there isn’t any other Chippers or McCanns available or we would be set.
by ChipperTeixeira89 on Jul 22, 2008 8:53 PM EDT up reply actions
he would be a better option than Dunn
by ChipperTeixeira89 on Jul 22, 2008 8:55 PM EDT up reply actions
here’s an interesting name. rocco baldelli. if his fatigue issues are settled, he could be a huge stud. or he could continue to spend more time on the DL than hampton
i got another for you
David DeJesus…not a power guy but compared to Blanco…well
by ChipperTeixeira89 on Jul 22, 2008 8:56 PM EDT up reply actions
Oh I wouldn’t be opposed to getting DeJesus, just that he isn’t exactly a power guy. But definitely would be if he came to the ATL.

If the Braves are buyers (i wouldn’t be if i was wren), I’ve been hearing that they’re interested in the former Met Xavier Nady and he can play 1st.
by ChipperTeixeira89 on Jul 22, 2008 9:01 PM EDT up reply actions
but the price for bay is said to be a lot more than it would be for Nady…..like two very high ceiling prospects and more which imo Bay is not worth by a long shot

Jeff Francoeur
Try not to swing at pitches near your chin and maybe you’ll put a good swing on a ball.
by ChipperTeixeira89 on Jul 22, 2008 8:52 PM EDT reply actions
No shit
Great hit, just a tad short.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Jeff Francoeur is such a fucking tease sometimes, just like the team is when they “try” to make a comeback.

well it looks like the Braves will be 7 games out after tonight’s game
by ChipperTeixeira89 on Jul 22, 2008 8:55 PM EDT reply actions
sure stranger things have happened but i don’t get a sense from this team that they really want to win so doubtful they’ll ever catch up with the Phils or Mets

One of the latest rumors concerning Tex....

50th? HA! he hit 50 a few games ago.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"

I don't know
The Braves just don’t inspire any come-from-behind hopes and dreams ever, anymore. Going through the motions, sometimes.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Getting no runs
with bases loaded and no outs is pretty demoralizing…oh, that and being no-hit through 5.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
peeling a baseball like an orange?
Sounds like somebody’s a little psychotic?

I'll die laughing
If the loss of lucky bling makes Pinto implode, and we hang five runs on him.

I stopped
Hoping from come-from-behind wins about 30 games ago.

i did the day I heard Moylan was done for the rest of the season
by ChipperTeixeira89 on Jul 22, 2008 9:18 PM EDT up reply actions
its less to do with moylan and more to do with the other half of the order. and escobar isn’t exempt either too. his OPS had dropped off by a good deal…i know its expected, and better than renteria…but still. fuck
you can say the same about Chipper, I know it’s hard to continue the great start he got off too. However his numbers have dropped significantly over the last month and a half or so
by ChipperTeixeira89 on Jul 22, 2008 9:24 PM EDT up reply actions
more than likely the Braves will get shutout
by ChipperTeixeira89 on Jul 22, 2008 9:16 PM EDT reply actions

here's a treat
soriano.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
yeah he’s someone that I would not want to trade, even with all the arm issues he has dealed with
by ChipperTeixeira89 on Jul 22, 2008 9:21 PM EDT up reply actions
I'd be willing to trade him for a 30 year old single A player
If the other team would take his salary, and I bet Cox would too. Bobby seemed pretty frustrated with him and his “injuries” this year.
I hope you’re joking because Soriano is one of our better relievers when healthy. And I know health has been a concern with him, but you can say the same with Gonzo and now Moylan. It happens….and it just so happens that those three are the best they have.
by ChipperTeixeira89 on Jul 22, 2008 9:28 PM EDT up reply actions
Oh wait….that’s suppose to happen when the Braves have the lead…..shit

I don't know why
But something hurts right now
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
ugh
After two hitting the Marlins last night, they return the favor with a one hitter as of right now and with Rick VandenHurk, Joe Nelson and Renyal Pinto. Can I just get a lil consistency… Please?
Chris
Damn
Couldn’t that have hit Acosta?
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"

who cares
We’ll destroy him when we both finish out the season not headed for the playoffs in late September.

If chipper gets on base
Teix can go his another meaningless homer.

Better yet
He’ll lead off the 9th with a meaningless homer.

I am going to finish watching the game an try to get some work done.
There’s always tomorrow.

you work?
I thought you did nothing but blog all day long.

It's you
He’s like an anti-hero of some sort here. He makes me laugh. Therefore I can’t really hate him.
“We stop pain tha BEE-CEE way… FAST. Take the pill, powderBOOM”

He'll give up a run,
Just so we can hit four meaningless homers in the next inning, and lose by 1.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
This is perfect symmetry
We shut out the Marlins 4-0, and win
Today, we get shut out by the Marlins 4-0, and lose
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Every game, at least once or twice
Heap hits what I like to call a “super-pull,” where he crushes something easily the distance of a homer, into foul territory. And then once he super-pulls something, he’ll never see that pitch again despite looking for it.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Didn't Morton
Used to be the guy who never gave up dingers?
Oh well, at least the Mets lost. At this point, I have two remaining hopes for this season:
1- Chipper gets the batting title.
2- Anyone but the Mets wins the East.
