Atlanta Braves at Arizona Diamondbacks, Aug 9, 2008 8:10 PM EDT
I like it when we score runs. Let's hope we can get some runs off of Dan Haren. The team seems to be playing with a little more confidence in Arizona, it would be nice to keep that going.

Hey
No Gracie. Victory for everyone!
Though this guy does say Jair Jurrjens, funny.

I can live with that
FYF should be coming off the bench. His swings were starting to look better recently, but after yesterdays game, a week or two off would be ideal.
I really hope Frenchy finds his swing again. To me it looks like he’s pulling his head off the ball not allowing him to get his hands through first. I haven’t been watching any games on tv recently, so I might be incorrect on that.

Minor League stuff....
Just a few things:
1. Glavine is pitching tonight in Mississippi
2. Tyler Flowers hit HR #15 tonight, had 2 doubles, and has his average up to .295
3. Ryne Reynoso pitched another solid game
4. Jason Heyward hit #11 for Rome
That’s all I got.

What the hell
McCann is a wrecking ball out there

Maybe McCann thinks this team is the Phillies, and he’s getting revenge for that concussion.

maybe being the team no one wants to play if we are out of contention.

WTF...
We started scoring this series? What is up with that?
Brian McCann, who is this guy? He wasn’t even good enough to play in the All-Star game, and now he thinks he can have a 4 RBI night, including a long-ball, and steal bases?

Buddy Carlyle just threw the ball 93.

I'm a Rockies fan who has been following your game...
it really has brought much more happiness to my heart than our game tonight. Props to your guys for the heart and effort they have brought in this game and this series tonight.

You're a RIGHTEOUS man, Jug!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I almost...
...fell over last night when I checked my phone for scoring updates and saw that Heap stole 3rd!
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.

Frenchy sits again.
Is this his unofficial second minor league send down? But maybe his new look will help get some hits now that the beard is gone.
