Braves @ Phillies: Something Unlikely Might Happen

Gondeee_tiny by gondeee on in Open Threads

Atlanta Braves @ Philadelphia Phillies


Mike_hampton_2_medium

I think Mike Hampton will get as far as the mound in the center of the Vault, but he'll injure himself during his allotted dozen warmup pitches in the bottom of the first. If, somehow, he throws a regulation major league pitch, then everyone better hold onto something because the universe has to even things out and the repercussions of that pitch could be devastating.

Fucking Yankees...

I live in NC and their showing that game rather then our game on Fox. I guess its probably a blessing in disguise since ill be at work and had I saw Hampton get hurt for the 14553272383 time I might would have lost my job.

Anyway here’s to another big division win tonight, hope I return home to good news!!!!

In Virginia...and they’re showing the Yankees…dammit!

How Would You Feel?

If we actually got a win…

Would it just be nice or should we start to hope again?

What about a sweep?

Oh good Pujols...

Who are those dweeb announcers on Fox?! Maybe I won’t try to watch, and just stick to listening…

by Lizziebeth on Jul 26, 2008 3:51 PM EDT   0 recs

Well at least

It’s not Buck and McCarver. They’re probably cleaning up their mess in their cozy little box in Fenway Park right. I feel sorry for those who have to watch that game, instead.

It has been raining here almost all day.

it’s stopped for now, but was pretty steady. I thought we were both on the NE side, but then again I get rain at work in Buckhead, get home to Gwinnett and it’s dry.

But what about games we need to win?

I know Bobby has his protocol. I’m used to it. But a rubber game against the Nats? I just think it was a bad move. Of course even McCann couldn’t have prevented that blowout loss.

No kidding. But let’s be honest: I don’t think Hampton is going to be what gets us to the postseason – though it would certainly help.
