Stros @ Braves: Game 1 Open Thread

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.


Next Game

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.

just thought this was funny.

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.

by OntheGo on Jul 4, 2008 8:06 PM EDT reply actions  

first lead in 47 innings. thats 5 games. jesus CHRIST

by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 8:06 PM EDT reply actions  

this guy’s already seen more pitches than francoeur did all day yesterday

by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 8:09 PM EDT reply actions  

WELCOME TO THE SHOW!!!!!!!!

by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 8:11 PM EDT reply actions  

perry has as many hits in his major league career as the struggling corpse of jeff francoeur had in the past week. AWESOME

by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 8:16 PM EDT reply actions  

i wish we had a player like shawn chacon that chokes the GM. i nominate acosta

by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 8:18 PM EDT reply actions

by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 8:21 PM EDT reply actions  

do i have your guys’s permission to buy a longoria jersey? cuz i want one

by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 8:22 PM EDT reply actions  

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  

only communists watch the yankees. you red bastard

by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 8:23 PM EDT up reply actions  

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  

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  

The discussion in the family room

was the someone on the Yanks was trying to push it back

by OntheGo on Jul 4, 2008 8:29 PM EDT up reply actions  

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  

FUCK THE FUCKING COW IN THE OUTFIELD

by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 8:29 PM EDT reply actions  

long single, i’ll take it

by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 8:29 PM EDT reply actions  

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  

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  

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  

fuck, gotta wait an inning to see NJF again

by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 8:33 PM EDT reply actions  

Gotta love Smoltzie

working with Morton on a bullpen session

by OntheGo on Jul 4, 2008 8:35 PM EDT reply actions  

Hudson...

like we absolutely need him every time out!

by OntheGo on Jul 4, 2008 8:37 PM EDT reply actions  

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  

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  

argh, right at him

by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 9:15 PM EDT reply actions  

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  

he hit the ball hard AGAIN!

by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 9:17 PM EDT reply actions  

he…didnt touch the bag?

by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 9:24 PM EDT reply actions  

TAKE IT!

BC to Yunel on the steal…priceless!

by OntheGo on Jul 4, 2008 9:34 PM EDT reply actions  

wow

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

by son.of.sourman on Jul 4, 2008 9:35 PM EDT reply actions  

laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarry

by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 9:37 PM EDT reply actions  

Heap...

knock one Wright out of here…Wright now

by OntheGo on Jul 4, 2008 9:39 PM EDT reply actions  

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

by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 9:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

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  

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  

here we go again.

by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 9:55 PM EDT reply actions  

breathe self breathe

by OntheGo on Jul 4, 2008 9:56 PM EDT reply actions  

oh i will TAKE THAT

by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 9:57 PM EDT reply actions  

i love mike gonzalez SO MUCH

by bigjoe on Jul 4, 2008 10:09 PM EDT reply actions  

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!

by MattDiazFanClub on Jul 4, 2008 10:18 PM EDT reply actions  

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.

yes.
