Braves @ Phillies: Game 1

Atlanta Braves @ Philadelphia Phillies


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.

A somewhat smart lineup

I thought for sure we’d see Francoeur or Kelly in the 3 hole.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

rowand is actually playing BETTER this year than last

Think so?

His stats look like they’ll end at no better than last year, which I suppose is pretty good, I guess.

he must have hit a rough spot, his peripherals were a LOT better. gotta consider he went from an extreme hitter’s park to a decent pitcher’s park though

I may be wrong about Kennedy. Looks like several AA players in the Yankees system have been pulled tonight, so the Pirates may have settled for prospects over major-league ready guys. Nothing has been confirmed as of yet about who the Pirates are getting back.

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.

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.
