Braves @ Sushi: Rubber Game Rainbow Roll

Gondeee_tiny by gondeee on in Open Threads

Atlanta @ Florida


Damn! I think I just got myself in the mood for sushi tonight. 

If I say that the Braves "need" to win this game does that mean they'll play "extra" hard?

I'm trying a new thing and putting the game thread up at the exact time the game starts to see if this lineup feature works or not. I've got to finally give all these newfangled SBN features a full shaking out.

I’m sure Huddy’s pitching, getting everybody out, thinking “whats the point, i’ll lose 1-0.”

by 10-4 on Jul 23, 2008 7:41 PM EDT   0 recs

Nah, he'll get a ND

because the bullpen will cough it up after Bobby pulls him out for a PH in order to try and “spark” the offense.

Bobby

Did anyone happen to see Bobby get ejected on Sunday (which led to the suspension last night)? I missed it. What was the BFD?

by davesawyer on Jul 23, 2008 8:10 PM EDT   0 recs

he didn’t do anything bad, he was tossed the moment he walked out of the dugout. it was a bullshit call, a bullshit ejection, and a bullshit suspension

by bigjoe on Jul 23, 2008 8:13 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I figured he had punched an ump out or something. Damn – a game suspension sounds heavy handed.

Thanks for the update.

by davesawyer on Jul 23, 2008 8:15 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yes

jug was there with practically a front row seat – see his post (Two tickets to paradise…) for pic.
Apparently Gucci shrunk the strike zone for Buddy. Like bigjoe just wrote: total BS…
I was in the field level concession area cooling off, here’s one of the shots I took (sorry it’s so big):

Jordan Schafer

Is now hitting .209 with a 715 OPS for Mississippi.

Can you honestly give him the job next year?

I don’t think so. I say Jordan needs to start next year in AAA.

The outfield is looking GREAT for next year…...

by NEBravesFan33 on Jul 23, 2008 8:16 PM EDT   0 recs

i say he needs to start next year back in mississippi. all he’s proven is that he can take a walk. thats it. i’d love to see an OF of him & heyward in MISS next year…that might be enough to get me down there

by bigjoe on Jul 23, 2008 8:16 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Heyward will be

in Myrtle Beach to start next year, by the time he gets to Mississippi, Schafer better be in ATL or at least AAA.

by NEBravesFan33 on Jul 23, 2008 8:21 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

him & freeman could probably skip myrtle with the way they’re hitting in rome this season. oh jeezus, i just realized that a possible OF is schafer, hernandez, & heyward. dear lord in heaven would that rule hard

by bigjoe on Jul 23, 2008 8:22 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Third base might be looking not so good now.

Dammit. Had to go to the instant replay for that.

Chipper

Just pulled his hamstring.

That might be it folks.

Start calling around….

If that hamstring is serious, we’re officially dead

by Rhyno18 on Jul 23, 2008 8:17 PM EDT   0 recs

That quad has been hanging by a thread for a while now. It’s gonna be serious one of these days.

Let’s pray today’s not that day.

damn it

That put a damper on things pretty damn quick. Chipper can’t be runnin that hard

Larry Wayne is a team player. He hauls ass even when he shouldn’t.

by davesawyer on Jul 23, 2008 8:20 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

If he goes on the DL

Then that is officially it.

by NEBravesFan33 on Jul 23, 2008 8:22 PM EDT   0 recs

i will kill if i don’t get to see my favorite player while on vacation

by bigjoe on Jul 23, 2008 8:22 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

HANG ON

Chipper may be gone for awhile but at least Hampton says he is ready so that will balance things out right?

by H0SS on Jul 23, 2008 8:24 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I refuse to get excited about Hampton. He’s broken my heart too many times.

by davesawyer on Jul 23, 2008 8:25 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

yeah

i was just trying to insert sarcasm Hampton sux and he is only going to take one of the pitchers spots such as Morton who needs to stay up and get experience

by H0SS on Jul 23, 2008 8:26 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I figured you were sarcastic. I have yet to meet a Braves fan that is placing any of his or her hopes in Hampton.

by davesawyer on Jul 23, 2008 8:27 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

i desperately want turner field to give hampton the slow clap if he ever comes out of the pen

by bigjoe on Jul 23, 2008 8:25 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

And then hear everyone boo him when he twists his ankle or pulls his groin on the way to the mound.

by davesawyer on Jul 23, 2008 8:27 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Slow clap?

You can’t clap when you’re violently retching your guts up…it’s like trying to keep your eyes open when you sneeze….

by Lizziebeth on Jul 23, 2008 8:31 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

If Hampton gets in a MLB game...

I will go out and get the clap.

by yondaime4 on Jul 23, 2008 9:03 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He’s the ultimate team leader but I’d rather him gingerly jog down the line every time than haul ass once and get hurt. Also, the day I answer that damn Aflac trivia question will be the happiest day of my life

running down the line after a ground ball, looked like he tweaked it. he never left his feet, which is a good sign
