PrintAtlanta Braves at Philadelphia Phillies, Jul 27, 2008 1:35 PM EDT
We survived the near-apocalyptic appearance of Mike Hampton in a major league baseball game last night, so in theory, we can survive anything. Yesterday was a weird game, though. I can't remember a game when we scored so many runs in one inning (9) and didn't score another run the entire game.
I love all the rumors and counter-rumors out there right now. I think the bottom line is that no one knows where Tex is going to wind up. I do think, though, that he will wind up somewhere -- he's just too much of an impact bat for some contender not to want him when he's at his best.

Heap would be considered “A bear”
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
how fucking far outside did coste set up on that pitch? and blanton throws it head high…and of COURSE francouer swings
can't see
having to “work,” so I’m radio + gamecast.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Translation
Alabamans stole his television
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Well, they may have...
I’m at my office. I am never sure if I’ll come home only to find my apartment sans-television.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
I lived somewhere like that
Franklin Rd. in Marietta. Somebody got killed in that complex a few days ago.
Ugh
I knew someone who got robbed just a few months ago there. Guh-het-to!
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Don't talk to me about ghetto...
Do a wiki search for “ghetto” and see what city is specifically mentioned. I’ll give you a hint, it is named for a city in England.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
So...
Is the game going to be delayed? Pete keeps talking about t-storms…
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
dominos
Pizza hut crusts are nasty now
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I am more a fan of dominos...
but, I’ve had terrible and delicious pizza from both. I think it depends on level of sobriety.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
damn
I can hear the wind on the radio mics.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Of course
Chutley decides to start hitting against us now.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Brad's phone sucks
I miss Ronnie, like TIMES THIRTY.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
What smells worse
Wet Phillies fans or wet dogs?
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
the fans. it rained at my one trip to philly. After the game, SEPTA smelled more like SEPTIC
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I was thinking the same...
Most dogs get bathed every month or so.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
back to "work"
I guess…
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Fast run, fall short
I have this fear we will play good ball and encourage Wren to become buyers at the deadline. Then a week after we will fall apart and will not receive a bounty for Tex. I just hope we can trade and get something for him, then possibly resign him in the offseason. I would see the braves doing $20mil a year to keep him, with all the big $$$ off the books.
I still look back to last year and wish we could have gotten Buehrle instead of Tex though. Connor Jackson would be the perfect return, he could play 1B for the rest of the year and if we could resign Tex as a free agent, move Connor to LF. Although the most likely return from Arizona would be Chad Tracy. In my opinon Gregor could be the leadoff hitter we’ve needed since Furcal.
Got the Braves as my NL and White Sox as my AL!
Anybody wondering
why Jo-Jo didn’t get used yesterday? He sucks now, apparently.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
I take it back! I take it back!
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Too late
Get back to “work.”
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I'm back to him sucking
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
who works faster
gonzalez or eaton?
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
That's bull
Victorino crowds the plate, and hardly made an attempt to move.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
What are the degenerates
chanting?
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Holy Pujols
That’s a game genie worthy play
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Victorino
was out by a mile, what was he arguing about?
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."

Philip Fulmer on SportSouth…he got served here last week!
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
high fastball coming right up
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."

...what I was about to type.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
KJ!
Now that’s production.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
so, we need about 20 more runs to have a chance, right?
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
IMHOTEP!
GAME GENIE!!!
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
He destroyed that ball...

"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
He cursed that ball out to Egypt
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I like this Eaton fella.

Reyes finally living up to his hitting reputation at USC
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
That girl is going to get killed and raped
For wearing a Braves shirt in Philly
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Chances are good
that it could happen anyway.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
nope, sorry, I'm an idiot
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Ah
you can always count on a Brave to GIDP to kill a rally.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
WTF
That chick is so not from Philly. She’s actually kinda hot.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
She must not be from Philadelphia orginally...
At least she’s smart enough to be with a Braves fan…
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Wow
Shortbus just ate our lunch again
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I'm just thinking about some parts from Step Brothers
It helps
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I just think that I'm not a Phillies fan or live in Philadelphia.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
OMP
Got out of the car and we were ahead. Put the new battery in, came inside and everything’s gone to s%&t…
take the new battery out.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Hahaha
Who didn’t see that coming when Tavarez was begging for a positive appeal?
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Time for Tavarez
to be cut from a 3rd team.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
My confidence in Royce Ring
0.1%
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
In July, Ring:
APPs = 7
IPs = 3.2
Hs = 8
Rs = 6
BBs = 6
Ks = 2
ERA = 16. 875
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
sorry, miscalculated...
ERA 12.27, ERs was only 5, not 6.
BA .471
OBP .583
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
holy crap
I was afraid he would never walk again.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Boyer sucks too.
Possibly worse than Ring.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
I know I'm the only one still watching
but seeing another HR still sucks.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Watching Bleach
Jug, I think you might be the only one watching.
I stopped watching cause of the rain delay and started watching Bleach online. Much more entertaining.
Man, I was so f*cking pissed at Francoeur’s first at bat. What the hell was he swinging at for the third strike??
Oh well, I guess this finally means we are sellers. I’ve felt we should be sellers even before the all-star break.
I still don’t think the Braves will get much for Tex, so I would seriously take the draft picks. The Braves don’t need to add more mediocre players to their roster by trading Tex. I bet Ohman gets dealt when we should keep him.
Still watching too...
thank Pujols they stopped the class-less mock chop chant the same inning Heap went down
Yeah pretty classless...
But, let ‘em mock chop. Despite the Braves being the longest continuously operating franchise in baseball, the Phillies have more losses than any other sports franchise ever. And, they have to live in Philadelphia. I cut them some slack, since they are not used to winning.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
COME ON!
5 more to go!
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Shit Yunel
TAKE A FREAKIN’ PITCH! YOU’RE TOO AGGRESSIVE!
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
NICE JOB MAR-TEEN!
10 – 12!!!!
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Ral-ly, Ral-ral-ly!!!!!
ITS UP TO CORKY!
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Yes...
Small zone here Corky.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
wait for your pitch, now!
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Here we go...
make sure its a good one!
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
well that wasn't what I wanted
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Alright, alright
Let’s own some Lidge.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
High fastball coming up.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Kelly
super-pulls for McCann
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Well
nothing like some guys to throw BP for the most potent offense in baseball… However, we didn’t stay with them in offense, just not well enough.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
*we did stay will them
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
well crap.
valiant effort…Reyes and Ring, you guys need work.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
