San Diego Padres at Atlanta Braves, Aug 27, 2009 7:10 PM EDT
Rain is forcast from now through the end of the night, so this might be a long one (in more ways than one if we're not winning).
The Braves recalled Buddy Carlyle from his rehab assignment with Gwinnett and sent Manny Acosta down. Fine with me.
Let's see if Javier Vazquez can hold the Padres under one run... that seems to be the only way to win these days.

Please dont let Chipper be in the Lineup.
Prado should start at 3B and KJ at 2B.

what?
do you watch the games? chipper’s definitely got his swing back, the 2 flyouts he hit right on the nose and were hit very cleanly, and the groundout in his last at bat would’ve been a base hit through the hole if it were not for the gold glove first basemen patrolling the area and making an amazing diving stop. I guarantee you if he’s in the lineup tonight, he turns it around.

Lose this one and it's time to officially shut it down for the season
You can’t get swept by a last place team. The good news is that Colorado lost yesterday, The Marlins lost today, Colorado & LA currently tied up in the 5th today. So potentially a chance to stay even through this series, although we should have gained ground, considering the Colorado is facing a first place team at home, we are facing a last place team.
Why'd the Mets, of all teams, have to draft John Maine!?!?
by Ninerballin on Aug 27, 2009 4:46 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah...
maybe we could just forfeit the rest of our games. Sounds like a reasonable option.

true about Giants announcers, plus did you see this quote:
There are some talents at ESPN, like Jon Millerwow he needs new definition of talent. I guess YES isn’t too bad but I think i’ve just heard them too much that its just second nature to me and don’t expect them to be on a best in baseball list. Agree completly on SNY.

another thing about broadcasters
i dont get all the hate towards Darren Sutton and Mark Grace. I get all the DBacks games and i like the guys. They’re energetic and entertaining even tho the DBacks are garbage. Grace does go overboard every once in a while, but its definately better than the Giants announcers who are in a complete mono-tone for 3 hours.

I believe the key distinction is those games, we scored our runs in the 1st innings. Now, we scored in the 2d inning. That should make all the difference.
by fandave on Aug 27, 2009 8:30 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
This is the type of balanced offensive game we need to be playing with from here on out. Yeah, seven singles, but getting them in bunches and taking advantage of walks and other such give aways is more effective than swinging away and hoping the ball leaves the fence. Seven singles, five runs…. look how many runs we’ve scored the past few days.

Hanson can one up Happ tomorrow if he can go to 10-2 and down the Phils. Can’t wait to smash Pedro too!

It looks like Martinez vs. Hanson, Lee vs. Lowe and Blanton vs. Jurrjens.

wow. Hanson and JJ have good matchups (but JJ is Sunday night baseball-ugh). Lets see if Lowe can finally be an ace

Lowe has only allowed 2 ER in his two starts (14 innings) against the Phils this year, maybe he’ll beat them again.

I’m still with y’all, just multi tasking since we have a good lead.
I’m not a fair weather fan. I’ve been a real fan for as long as I remember. I think I was born with it in my blood!
Go Braves! Keep winning!

Ga now leads the LLWS, I can’t help but root for these guys they may be future Braves! They are awesome!

NY just hit the wrong nerve, and it hurt. I guess because he has 15 more comments than me, I am not a fan!
I am not just popping in, as he said. I have been here all night.
The only reason I made that comment was as a reply to someone up there wandering where all the bloggers were, or something to that effect.
Chopper you did not make me cry. I’m just thin skinned when it come to insults from someone whom does not even know me!
My Hubby has to compete with the Braves just to have a date night, so for him to insinuate I am not a real fan just pissed us both off!
Saying my first “fuck” word felt pretty darn good! lol

Ah..see, I was wrong too. What I get for reading quickly while multi-tasking.
I completely missed the word “guy” in your “made me cry” post and thought my compliment made you all teary-eyed in a good way. LOL You know, that “chick” thing we gals sometimes do.
However, I’m glad you feel better having gotten that F word out of the way.

It's awesome that we gained on EVERYONE tonight,
but how many nights like this will happen? We essentially need something very close to this to happen on a fairly regular basis, dontcha think? I still have hope, but after this series, I’m running out of stars to wish upon. Maybe, just maybe, Huddy can pump this team up, and we can reel off some .700 baseball for the rest of the year and get a little help.

SF is down by three as of now. Although it is the first inning, the SF offense lacks Garko/Sanchez and Lincy/Cain are not on the mound. I like our chances.
