on Braves Live. Calling Frenchy “Jeffey”? Cute.
They’ll have Jordan on next.
Wish I was there – it’s a gorgeous day.
Schafer's Interview
What did Schafer have to say?

Sorry, I missed most of it while in the bathroom throwing up due to “#10…Fred”’s comment (see my post below). Thanks for the follow up info, Weldon!
Turns out it was a pre-recorded segment with Joe Simpleton – not live, and all I heard was them talking about him taking #24 & the history of the number…
I wonder...
why she’s not working with Braves Live this year.

Oh no, he didn't...
the new BL guy, Fred whatever, just called the Braves the yankees. Get rid of him and bring back OKT!
Hickman's got quite a history...

God knows why he was hired. He doesn’t seem, you know, competent. And OKT was a lot easier on the eyes…
Could Hanson entering the game here foreshadow a midseason KK breakdown and the big call-up of Hanson? haha

I'm going to write this one off...
…to nerves. First time pitching in the big-boy park… new mound, wanting to impress, etc. I was less than thrilled with the goomba who was booing so loudly…he needs to move to Philly or New York.
yeah, but seriously, you’re probably right

lmao. It was worth it to see Hanson get that out.
That pitch was nasty. Tommy all day long. Now the game gets interesting. Let’s put up some runs guys!!

You could tell...
that KK was getting frustrated in that last inning.

Must be an old game...
Red sox are playing the Mets right now. 6-0 Boston in the third.
Skanks are playing Cubs…don’t know the score ‘cause I don’t care.

So what was KKs deal today?
2.2 ip, 3h, 4r, 4er, 7bb, 0k
Was it just one of those days where he couldnt locate, or was it something else?

Just had trouble locating his fastball. He wasn’t barely missing, he was a good foot off the plate a lot. That’s very unlike him, so I’ll chalk it up to nerves/end of spring training.

can we just say he was tinkering with a pitch?
Please? I hope he wasnt this bad without expirementing

Should have said "Sorry" to Glavine...
… Hanson is ready—he made Magglio Ordonez look foolish.
Oh, Bobby.
Because of his sexy goatee.
But since he shaved it, we should just go ahead and ship him off.

Was Kawakami getting squeezed? Because jesus christ, 7 walks and no Ks in less than 3 innings is frightening.
SWAGGA LIKE BJONES, SWAGGA LIKE BJONES
A little bit...
But it really didn’t matter that much because most of the time he was missing very badly.

Back from the game...
So the game wasn’t very good, but it was a pleasure to be back at the ballpark. I got some good pics of Kawakami and Hanson in the bullpen before the game, but for some reason photobucket is not loading my pictures. Once i figure out what the deal is i’ll put em up. Best part of all: Tommy Hanson autograph baseball! Woo hoo!
"Ohhhh shit"-Bobby Cox
Awesome!
I went to the game last night and Vasquez looked really good. I look forward to seeing your photos.
