PrintAtlanta Braves at Philadelphia Phillies, Jul 25, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
Thus begins the first day and the first game of decision weekend. If we win, we might be buyers; if we lose, we might be sellers; if Mike Hampton actually throws a regulation pitch in a major league baseball game, hell might freeze over..... the suspense is killing me.

Any updates
on Hudson or Chipper? I have been busy and couldn’t watch Braves Live… All I found online today was that they were both not expected to spend time on DL. I’m pretty concerned about Hudson’s elbow however.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
I would not have gotten Braves Live anyway...
Game on PTV.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Heard it here first
There will be a balk today
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Who is Mike Hampton?
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
LOL
PTV had it as “J. RollinGs”
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
A tight K-zone
And Short-Bus Shane walks.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Chip
do not call him the flyin’ hawaiian.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
I’ll keep calling him Shortbus Shane as long he keeps wearing an oversized helmet on his oversized head like it’s protective.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I bet he has mittens
pinned to his coat all year ‘round.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Good lord
Philly has NO attractive fans. Utley walking to the dugout, I saw at least four people who could benefit from gastric-bypass surgery.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Philly, the city...
...has few attractive people in my experience. Nor is it an attractive city.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
I dislike Philly
Not just for the baseball team, I think the entire place is a shithole, in every possible definitive way. It’s an ugly city with lots of mean and rotten people, and very little redeeming qualities.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Yes
Not biased, because I grew up more north – Atlanta has hot women. Doesn’t necessarily mean they’re all classy, but on a warm southern night, it’s easy to enjoy the game without watching a pitch.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I think he implied
not caring about classy.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Buckhead hotel?
As in… embassy suites? You’re like 20 min from Turner Field with okay traffic.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
he could always take...
MARTA…
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
HAHAHAHA
bigjoe on MARTA. I’d want to tape that.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=-NZtGz_7WI0
Well, it is better than Philly’s SEPTA.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
mapquest says 10 miles…well, i plan on leaving REEEEEEALLY early so i can start drinking and spending money on shit i don’t need
Well
Lenox Mall does have an official MARTA stop, so it is an option. You’d have to take MARTA to Underground Atlanta, and then take the shuttle, but it would be easier than driving to the park during rush hour.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
yeah…for the night games, i plan on leaving at like 5 or so…plenty of time. saturday game, should be OK leaving at like 1 or 2…sunday could be an issue though
I can email you some alternative directions if you want
You could park in a cheaper lot if you don’t mind doing some walking, and it’s pretty easy to get out of after the game.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
They upped the prices
$15 a day
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
jesus wow. i haven’t been to a game at CBP in like 2 years so i have no idea what they’re charging for the vet lot
Parking ...
Behind the Green Monster in Boston: $115
Next to Safeco Field entrance in Seattle: $75
Citizens Bank Park: $10
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Mac
with a trimmed face.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
.232
Team BA in July…wow, that’s shitty.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Ah hell
he won’t see another pitch to hit now.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Super-pull
He’ll never see that pitch again
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
ugh
chip, shut up. Just watch the freakin’ game.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
shut up chip
or ill go ape shit on your ass!
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
I'll be on you
Like a SPIDER MONKEY
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
should have been a VIDRO
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
I feel good about Imhotep.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Or Jo Jo Reyes
because, he supposedly can hit.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
If Jair is as fast as they say
suicide squeeze.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
imagine that...
Bases loaded, no runs score.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
I love
how Jenkins has a leg-kick like he were Sadaharu Oh or any other Asian slugger.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
LOL
At stoned Philly chick who could be almost cute if she weren’t blitzed out of her head, and … nevermind, they showed her again, her Philly stink shows through the skin.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
That's funny
I thought she was sort of cute initially as well. 2nd shot, not so much.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
There is a girl for bigjoe
the elf.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Philly fans are trash
I had a friend go up to Philly for the 2003 NFC Championship game, and he and his wife were wearing Falcons gear, and they were threatened for murder and rape no less than 40 times.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
You remember that commercial
for Burger King, I think, where the two dudes are gawking at a girl with a mouthful of boigar? Yeah, that is Philadelphia.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Who cares
I’ve had better cheesesteaks outside of Philly. Usually they’re Philly transplants, but they’re smart enough to have left the filthy city, and take one of the few good things with them.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
sorry
didn’t do a good job making my point…
I meant those dudes are the typically philly asshole.
Your are right, I have enjoyed “philly” cheesesteaks better than those from Geno’s.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
I've had better...
Than Tony Luke’s, and Geno’s.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I prefer
swiss over cheez-whiz to begin with.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
ooh, also good on the CS
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
I heard
They have a giant burger. I’m a big fan of giant burgers, and those wacky contests. I tried one in New Jersey, and failed miserably.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Nice
Catch for Teix. All those 3Us are making his contract look nicer and nicer. Too bad there is no market for a Teix trade.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Nady and Marte traded from Pittsburg
To the Yankees, not us. That’s what the rumor is anyway. I haven’t heard what the Pirates get in return.
I may be the only one
Who could care less about the trade mania, and just can’t wait for 4:01 p.m. on July 31st, so all this BS will just be over with.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
SAME HERE!
I hate it. It is such a distraction from actually talking about the game. Plus, speculation is dumb. What’s the point?
No offense to anyone that enjoys it—if that is your thing, go for it. I do not like it.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Then Then Then
it’s even more hostile verbal one-upsmanship and finger pointing, and “my epinion is more true than your epinion”
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Yeah...
Should have put a /sarc tag on that bad boy. Not a fan of the waiver deadline shenanigans either, but I do want the Braves to find a way to retool the team. So I guess I care more than usual this time around.
No worries
I could tell. Text is so bad at conveying such
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
My main interest in it was that we were supposedly interested in Nady, although I heard Joe Simpson mention tonight something is in the works for us to acquire Jason Bay.
I like how
Media outlets are quick to declare when they feel that a Braves player is “playing over their head” but none have said such about Nady. If he were really so great, why is just now popping up on the radar? Because . . . he’s playing over his head? Kinda like Aaron Rowand last year. But that’s just my opinion.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Think so?
His stats look like they’ll end at no better than last year, which I suppose is pretty good, I guess.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
WOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOooo
HEAP
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Pujols
Words can’t describe the greatness that is McCann, right now. That sure as hell wasn’t a super-pull.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Overplayed
And much like the Phillies, overrated.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Kelly would
have made that play
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
maybe
cutley will be 0-30 after this series?
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
LOL
At Kots giving the sign of the cross at seeing that the pressure was now on his shoulders.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
bases loaded again…can we get a run here Z? Puh-leeze?
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
oooh
I think I”m going to watch the BOS NYY game! Don’t get to see too many of those!
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
I’ve decided I’m in favor of having a computer system call balls and strikes, and the human umps can just stand back there and make safe/out calls
nah
the human element makes it more interesting. I’d be more in favor of getting rid of the Questec and letting it be 100% human.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Leave it as is
And just have some upstairs officiating and ear pieces to cover up the really bad calls. Something like that. Guys like Tim McClelland and Chris Guccione need to be kept in line, live, while games are on the line, instead of slapping them on the wrist afterwards, but not changing the fact that a game’s decision can’t be reversed.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
The Yankees agreed Friday evening to a deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates that would give New York left-handed pitcher Damaso Marte and right fielder Xavier Nady.
The Pirates will receive right-handed pitcher Ross Ohlendorf, right-handed pitcher George Kontos, left-handed pitcher Phil Coke and right fielder Jose Tabata in return. The trade is tentative pending physicals.
coming into the year…
ohlendorf – #9
kontos – #17
coke (unranked)
tabata – #3
pretty steep for…damaso marte, and a guy having a career year
I saw the list you posted, but have also seen a list that includes Austin Jackson. The list you posted seems to be the package most people think is the right one though.
I knew
When Chip said “one-hitter” that white Sadaharu was going to get a hit.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
That's
An effing Webgem. Like, a #1 webgem. I’m watching Baseball Tonight for that alone.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Fair enough
Start watching at at 12:20, when they stop doing Socks/Yanks, because sponsors pay for That’s Nasty, Touch ‘em All and WebGems, and they are obligated to actually show them, which will be at that time.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
woah
Imhotep with the barehand?
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."

This is like watching a game with the Braves using Game Genie

well shit
my PTV feed on shit cable has crapped out. probably going to have to reboot

Mine too
But it cleared itself out on its own.

Well I’m on AM with the box reboots.

he used to be big in the WWE, then got fired for causing a drunken disturbance on wrestlemania weekend a few years ago…NOW he wrestles on spike
Well he stole the spelling of Rhyno from me. I’ve been Rhyno with a Y since the mid 90’s.
He’s lucky I don’t hunt him down and kick his ass. And then sue. And then kick his lawyer’s ass.
lol
It’s okay if you like professional wrestling, bigjoe and I are pretty big connoisseurs of the fake sport.
No need for the macho front here, friend.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Hahaha
I saw an “old” ECW house show in DC, and some fan jumped the rail and attacked Rhyno. He was lucky that security got him before Rhyno did, otherwise he might’ve been dead. One of his quads was twice the width of the fan.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
d'oh
caught that!?
annoying…the radio is like 10 seconds behind TV.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
It's okay
The Braves are up 5-0, on virtue of Francoeur’s one-man grand slam.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I thought he got
6 RBIs on the OMGS? Shouldn’t it be 7-0?

Ehhhhhhhhhhh
Those Philly girls are 4’s at best. 5’s after a couple white russians.

Didn’t seem to know what inning it was, forgot the name of the (stupid) seventh inning game; maybe his note card fell on the floor…seems ok now.

Crap
Just saw the game tomorrow is on Fox, which means I won’t see it, because the fucking Yankees/Red Sox play for the 131st time this season, and everybody knows that’s the only game anybody cares about.
Before Friday night’s game against the Phillies, many of the Braves players were asking whether Jason Bay was going to be one of their teammates at some point this weekend. On Thursday night, some of them were under the impression that a deal with the Pirates was imminent.
In fact one player said he had expected to wake up on Friday and learn the deal was complete.
But like fans, players can be as easily duped by the many rumors that will fly this week.
When asked on Friday night, the Braves said they weren’t close to making a deal for Bay.
Still as Braves GM Frank Wren continues his search for a power bat, Bay remains a definite candidate.
fuck
HEAP WITH STEAL!!

The one on the left of the Phanatic looked familiar...
oh yeah, she reminded me of the Chic-Fil-A Chopping Cow
After watching those highlights of Imhotep
I saw we trade Tex, move Chipper to first and let Infante be our starting 3B for the rest of the season.
