Not that I'm aware of
He was on Braves Live

Question:
Is Michelle Wie hot?

Up to bat
the guy we got for Teixeira.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
He grounds out to Pujols
of course he did.

"Have you ever had your heart broken?"

Umpire
Getting annoying with calling strikes.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Just because he makes it look difficult
Doesn’t make it a good catch. These are routine fly balls.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
does anyone else think that VH1 chick new york is…fucking irritating?

thats exactly why i want him there badly
plus its only one year and they mite have to give up 18 yr old mike stanton for him who is putting up huge numbers in a-ball so we’d never see him
Supposedly for Willingham + prospect...
They much really not like Manny in Boston…and why would they? Don’t get me wrong, he can play baseball when he wants to, but he is a huge cock.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
I think if it draws more fans to that stadium to watch that fun team play then its definitely worth it. Just don’t give him a podium to make an ass of himself.
Also, for Manny I think it would be like a purgatory going to play for such small amounts of people. That would make me smile.

Oh man
My heart skipped right there…
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
6:24pm: MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro is hearing about a three-way deal that would also send Jason Bay to the Red Sox.
5:56pm: Baseball Prospectus’ John Perrotto has multiple baseball sources saying the Red Sox are on the verge of sending Ramirez to Florida for three players, including outfielder Mike Stanton. Dan Graziano says Hermida would be in this deal.
Following the Braves...one long hard drink at a time.
The Red Sox’s clubhouse had a twilight zone-like feel to it in the hours leading up to Wednesday’s game with the Angels. At around 5:30, the following blurb appeared on the ESPN crawl: “Red Sox engaged in serious conversation to trade Manny Ramirez to the Marlins.” At literally that exact time, Ramirez walked past that television with a plate of food in his hand, but didn’t see it.
Following the Braves...one long hard drink at a time.
Left 'em loaded.
Of course we did.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Two is Ohman furnished us with his own handy-dandy list of tips to survive the trading deadline (if you’re about to get traded). They included: (1) “Eat a lot,” (2) “Practice your clichés in front of the hotel mirror,” and (3) “Kill time by computing the mathematical probabilities that you’ll get dealt to a contender.” You need to devise a formula, he said, that determines the likelihood that “you can be the lynchpin to your old team’s success—by leaving it.”
gonna miss him…

Awesome.
I’d like to see him go to a contender, but I also want him on my team.
Trade and then resign him? Por favor?

doubt it would happen
wish it would!
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"

anyone else see kimbrel’s rome debut last night? holy CRAP
Following the Braves...one long hard drink at a time.
apparently not. 2 1/3 0 baserunners, 5 K. and the save. WHEEEEEEEEEEEE DOGGY
Following the Braves...one long hard drink at a time.
Missed it...
I guess he was thinking, “when in Rome…”
ba-dum-bum ching!
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
From Manny
“The Red Sox don’t deserve a player like me,” Ramirez said. “During my years here I’ve seen how they [the Red Sox] have mistreated other great players when they didn’t want them to try to turn the fans against them.
“The Red Sox did the same with guys like Nomar Garciaparra and Pedro Martinez, and now they do the same with me. Their goal is to paint me as the bad guy,” Ramirez added. “I love Boston fans, but the Red Sox don’t deserve me. I’m not talking about money. Mental peace has no price and I don’t have peace here.”
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
I can kind of understand what Manny is saying
The Red Sox have been good with letting go of their stars at the right time. But Manny’s still crazy.
When you fake injuries, don't run out pop-ups during a no-hitter...
...shove people, smack your own players, and look like Jack Sparrow, how much are the Red Socks actually doing to turn the fans against him?
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Maybe he can join Ricky Williams for some of that ‘mental peace’ when he’s in Florida.

LOL
Boog burned Simpson!
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
In response to the answer being Babe Ruth and Reb Russell.
Glavine: I don’t even know who that [Russell] is.
Simpson: White Sox, back in the ‘teens, I believe.
Boog: You stay hot Joe Simpson. Now, what, did you guys play together in the minors, Joe?
Glavine: That’s not right.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."

I want to know something.
Why is it when we trade Tex the threads become bloated with whiners and boo hooers, but when we are playing there are 3 of us still talking about the team?

It has been sparce for a while actually.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
I have eclipsed 5000
that is ridiculous.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
I have rec'd this comment.
Went to game, going to tomorrow’s game, going to saturday’s game. Otherwise, i’d likely have been here too.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I knew you did...
You are not going to miss Pujols (and I don’t blame you)!
I have been in the presence of Pujols once before, it is amazing.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Left 'em loaded again.
Of course we did.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
could have made it closer yunel
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
That Pujols-dude
is pretty good.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
diving stop on the line
to retire Kotch
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Question:
Are the Cards wearing black or navy hats?
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
good thing, probably.
after 65, he will need TJ
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Good chance
he needed TJ after 55.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Who the f*ck
is this Mather guy? He’s f*cking killing us.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
So...
... my attempt to change our luck by not posting a game thread seems to not have worked.
That pitch by Boyer was a frisbee.
yeah yeah
-1
don’t act like it was on purpose.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
thanks
for showing us all the Venezuelan players. thats how bad this game is right now.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
wow
an aqua-velva commercial. I didn’t know they advertised…
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
because I didn't know they advertised
or because I saw the commercial in the 1st place?
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
damn the mets
I picked them to win that game…could have won $5
I hate the mets. I hate them so much.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Don't tough it out
Because I would rather get it over with, and get him back.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
no, but he fits right in...
6 LOB
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Left 'em loaded, again.
Of course we did.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
You realize, that if a charity
donated $10 for every team LOB, we’d pretty much have cured AIDS, ended world hunger and taught every kid in the world to read.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
yeah just realized
that didn’t even make sense. Charities don’t donate money… but you get my point.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
wowza
37.13 ERA since the AS break for Ring
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."
Nice steal, jackass.
Take the bat from Pujols… not sure why you’d do that.
"Have you ever had your heart broken?"
