Houston Astros at Atlanta Braves, Jul 4, 2008 7:35 PM EDT
Happy Fourth of July everyone. In all likelihood I am already in the mountains of North Carolina with the famdamily. Thankfully this new SBN blogging platform allows us to schedule posts, which means for the weekend everything is already pre-written... sort of makes it hard to talk about last night's game.
Anyway, maybe we can have a better series against the Astros than we did against Philly.

Happy 4th of July
It’s a holiday AND Frenchy finally got demoted. I hope he can get things back together again…

A Happy 4th to EVERYONE including Jeff
Hopefully the lineup will score atleast 6 runs tonight. It seems like it’s been atleast two months since that has happened.

IN HIS LONG-ANTICIPATED RETURN FROM THE DL…

Trying to remember the last time we
scored first ~ ( waited until we did so as not to jinx it) !!! I bet Tex would have sacrificed his body for that run if necessary.

Y'all see that Yankees game today?
Where Damon crashed into the fence, the ball bounced out of his glove and stalled on the top of the fence for like 5 seconds then fell back in play?
by mvandonsel on Jul 4, 2008 8:23 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
only communists watch the yankees. you red bastard
by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 8:23 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
It was on while
eating our cook out feast…but I only watched distractedly
by OntheGo on Jul 4, 2008 8:26 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The ball seriously just stopped on the top of the fence for a couple of seconds...
if it wouldn’t have been for the wall shaking because Damon smoked it, the ball probably would have stayed on there.
by mvandonsel on Jul 4, 2008 8:28 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The discussion in the family room
was the someone on the Yanks was trying to push it back

Apparently Hudson said that Escobar is as good of short stop that he has ever played with.
by mvandonsel on Jul 4, 2008 8:25 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
as far as i know, hudson has only played with escobar, tejada, and renteria. not exactly a trio of gold glovers
by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 8:28 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
This is coming from the Astros announcers. I think they meant all around short stop, but I could be wrong.
by mvandonsel on Jul 4, 2008 8:31 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
if you take offense into the equation…yeah, hudson played with tejada his MVP year i do believe

"Kelly Johnson is a converted shortstop"
Really? Stupid.
by mvandonsel on Jul 4, 2008 8:32 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
yeah. don’t make me scan the back of his rookie card
by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 8:34 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Haha...no that's ok...
well why does he struggle at second sometimes?
by mvandonsel on Jul 4, 2008 8:34 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
why do you think he was shifted to the OF in the first place?
by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 8:35 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
fuck, gotta wait an inning to see NJF again
by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 8:33 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Gotta love Smoltzie
working with Morton on a bullpen session

Hudson...
like we absolutely need him every time out!
by OntheGo on Jul 4, 2008 8:37 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
give him a little bit of time.
He’ll be alright.
by mvandonsel on Jul 4, 2008 8:40 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I guess Frenchy isn't alone,
He’s down there with Matty D and Hampton.
by mvandonsel on Jul 4, 2008 8:43 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
c'mon...3 straight innings scoring!
I truly can’t recall the last time THAT happened
by OntheGo on Jul 4, 2008 8:52 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
another good AB for Perry
just missed another confident aggressive swing at a pitch to hit
by OntheGo on Jul 4, 2008 9:17 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
TAKE IT!
BC to Yunel on the steal…priceless!

wow
this team hits a lot better without a huge FYF-shaped hole in the lineup.

Fuck....McCann is absolutely tattooing the ball!

he’s probably secretly giddy he gets to keep away from his BEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE UNIVERSE for awhile

If I didn't enjoy hanging out here watching live broadcasts with you folks...
I’d do what my 70 yr old mother does…DVR it…and watch it skipping the ridiculous repetition of comerecials
by OntheGo on Jul 4, 2008 9:43 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Braves have 13 saves this year, and 10 blown saves!
Hooray!

"Boyer has a fastball, curve, and a change"
Has anybody seen Boyer throw a change up?
by mvandonsel on Jul 4, 2008 9:48 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
My take on Boyer and Acosta
Live arms…and can attack the strike zone with full complements of pitchs…they can’t consistently throw to a batter’s weakness and make them swing…the miss horribly…snowballing on them
by OntheGo on Jul 4, 2008 9:51 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Great game
After nearly giving up after being swept by the Phils, we’re looking good and starting to get most of our guys back. All-Star game is still 8 games away!

who is that amazing goddess of a woman? i must know who this is.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
