i like Josh better than Blanco, but i still think Schafer will win the CF job next year.

Will definitely be interesting to watch it all unfold. I’m fascinated by the way people watch, examine and develop theories on this stuff. Maybe this off season I’ll have time to learn some.

Odarp!
I don’t know what they ate today, but it’s working…

Ooops I almost forgot there was a game!
I finish dinner and then realize it’s already 8

Hmmm. Not sure how you forget a game. But welcome! I’m running in between rooms, watching some on tv and then running in here to babble.

Guess I meant lost track of time
Nice to see runs on the score board already
I’m at home for the holiday weekend instead of at school so no tv for me to tonight. Found a stream though and hoping it’s not crappy.
by VictorW on Aug 30, 2008 8:15 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Really? where did you find the stream?
by Lizziebeth on Aug 30, 2008 8:23 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
http://www.freebaseballradio.com/AtlantaAug.html
At the bottom. The link called “TVAnts.” You have to have the program. Should be able to find it on Google. Takes a while to load and a couple minutes behind (most streams are). Quality pretty sharp for a stream and smooth.
Oh, and most of the radio links don’t work. A couple that usually worked aren’t working today.

Ok, thanks! I used a radio one from that site at work until I was given a portable radio. They won’t allow me to download anything, so I forgot there was a video stream part.
But I’ll remember this for home.

I love how they're talking about Yuni's "exuberance"
while showing him nearly falling asleep on the bench.

The worst thing about the Braves playing the Nationals
because of where I live, the Atlanta feed is blacked out and I’m forced to watch the Nats feed. /wrist

But hearing the dejection in the Nats booth when Heap crushes one is sweeeeeeeeeet!!!!
by Rhyno18 on Aug 30, 2008 8:34 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Haha it was pretty funny hearing the guy say something like “It’s okay you didn’t get the call. Settle down.” and the BAM

HEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAPPP!
HR!
Hope I’m not ruining it for you guys…

I think BJones is pressing tonight
probably because he’s playing RF, and he thinks that’s what our RF is supposed to do.

I always sing...
..the “My Buddy and me” song when Buddy comes in. It confuses one of my cats (the one in my avatar), because her name is Buddy.

Yikes
This isn’t good. At least it stayed in

Well that was crap
No pitching no pitching no pitching.

Gees...
Buddy’s been pitching over his head, and it looks like he’s regressing back to the mean all in one night.

Bad Buddy came to play tonight
and Photobucket is really pissing me off.
by Lizziebeth on Aug 30, 2008 9:11 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I can't believe we're actually behind right now
What’s wrong with Photobucket?
by VictorW on Aug 30, 2008 9:12 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I went to put a “sticker” on the buddy doll, and it made it the size of a pinhead, wouldn’t let me move it until about the 15th time I tried. Then when I got it the way I wanted, it seemed like it saved it, but when I tried to post it here, it was in a different color. It blended in too much in that color and made it pointless. Sigh. It just does things like that sometimes, but it’s aggravating.
On top of the blowing a lead aggravation!
by Lizziebeth on Aug 30, 2008 9:19 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
That sounds complicated
Can’t you just do it in Photoshop or Microsoft Paint?
by VictorW on Aug 30, 2008 9:26 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Probably (and better), but not with the time crunch. Since the photo was already in PB, thought it would be faster than opening another program, doing the edit, then re-uploading the photo to PB so I could post it here. I’m not the most astute “techie” kind of person, so let me know if there’s a faster, better way!
by Lizziebeth on Aug 30, 2008 9:34 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Not too good with picture editting myself. I think my skills go about as far as cut and pasting with Paint.

ATJ
Hard at work
The difference is that in this picture, HE CAUGHT THE BALL.
by Lizziebeth on Aug 30, 2008 9:23 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
With his eyes closed!
What can’t he do?
by VictorW on Aug 30, 2008 9:26 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I think Heap made a good throw on that steal attempt, really had a chance to get him out.
by Lizziebeth on Aug 30, 2008 9:31 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggghhh.
Brian Snitker, you moron. Shouldn’t have waved Joshie home.
by Lizziebeth on Aug 30, 2008 9:52 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
VERY true! I just wanted to blame somebody else for no run scored, lol.
by Lizziebeth on Aug 30, 2008 9:57 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
This picture has no relevance to the game
but it’s making me laugh, so maybe you’ll find it amusing, too…

+1
Hahaha. Did someone smelly use his helmet? Or did they just use a new shampoo?
by VictorW on Aug 30, 2008 10:08 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Must've been something with the helmet...
cause I just found another one, and I’m editing these in sequence…

Maybe Uggla stinks
Uggla’s forearms are freaking massive
by VictorW on Aug 30, 2008 10:32 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The bat placement makes it even funnier
And that other catcher is totally checking Heap’s crotch out.
by VictorW on Aug 30, 2008 10:10 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The bat placement
drives a friend of mine crazy! He does it constantly.
Nice captioning for the photo!

The Nats announces are pretty funny...
They keep acting like Carlyle, Bennett, and Taverez have shut down stuff. “A lot of zip on that fastball.” (92 MPH) “He throws that sinker just like Derek Lowe.”

shoot
Another game bites the dust. Whom will the Braves let beat them? 5, 6, or 7?
by rawleigh on Aug 30, 2008 10:15 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Uh...
Not sure I understand you. On my radio, the game’s still on and tied. Are there teams named 5, 6 and 7 or did you mean by how many? Just trying to understand…
by Lizziebeth on Aug 30, 2008 10:20 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Just being pessimistic
Will batter 5, 6, or 7 beat us? Looks like #6, Dukes.

Gotcha!
I see, thanks for explaining.

"His strike zone is not 17 inches. More like 25"

That’s funny that royhobbs is at the game – and they were going to show “The Natural” after it.

They’ll kill you. And now he’s at 2nd. Great.

What a disappointment.
A walkoff walk wins it for the nats!?!? And Dukes does it., an inning or 2 later. sigh.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
After the first two outs, I thought Nunez had it…

The Mets lost the exact same way tonight. Ugh.

Nice “almost fight” in that game, I see.
