So...
...I was just looking at FYF’s stats. It’s good to see that he has slightly increased his walk rate about one half percent from last year. That’s good right? Right?
His .269 BABIP is absolutely murder, though.
I guess I should be one to talk.
There's nights that I can't even walk.
There's days I couldn't give a fuck.
And in between is where I'm stuck.

I don't know...
usually I can get it a little early and hear the pregame stuff.
Anyway, I found a live stream for a Braves network radio station, so no worries.

What channel is the game on?
Anybody know?

WGN has it.
Don’t know about Braves home feed.

Looks like it's on Peachtree TV.
I don’t get PTV but they pipe the games in on a special channel down here in south Georgia. I guess those boneheads didn’t get the message that the game is on now and aren’t going to show it.

So we have two Chucks now. Morton must be Good Chuck and James could be plain Chuck, like on King of the Hill when Hank’s dad had another kid and named him Good Hank.
by BullManUGA on Aug 13, 2008 1:31 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
we decided that james was BAD CHUCK

Did you notice that their uniforms looks exactly like the Braves’ BP jerseys? Just replace “USA” with “Braves” and that’s it. Same rear number/ name combot too.

somebody in Atlanta...
...go to Turner Field and kill all the stupid Cubs fans…
I would say kill Morton too, but maybe we could just use him on the road…

Hate that I missed SK hustling…don’t know that I’ve ever seen him run the bases.

Silly Joe West.
Francouer hits with lights on all the time.

Ha ha. I like that better than what I came up with (lights are on but nobody’s at…second).

Joe West is a primadonna
and a prick
by Lizziebeth on Aug 13, 2008 2:53 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Apparently the Braves turned on the lights while they batted last inning, and Joe West made em’ turn them off b/c you can’t turn them on in the bottom of the inning. So at the start the this inning, right as Nunez was ready to throw, Joe West calls time and comes to the mound, wanting the lights on. Bobby then shouts something from the dugout, and gets ejected.
by 10-4 on Aug 13, 2008 2:55 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
okay...
Pete and Lemmer are talking about it now. Bobby didn’t like him waiting till Nunez was about to throw. They figure West just waited so he could get on TV.

I wish we could hear Skip's take on this :(
by 10-4 on Aug 13, 2008 3:03 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I was just thinking..
the same thing. Also, they seem to feel like West was baiting Bobby.

What a great crew for the series
Joe West AND CB Bucknor? What did we do to deserve this?

Bueno threw at Soriano’s head and got ejected in his first major league game.

Way to go Bueno!
Its about time somebody on this team showed some fire. Although i would have prefered Bueno actually hit Soriano, but i guess just missing his head will do.

Someone call Ronnie and tell him what just happened!
