Home Opener
Anyone going to the home opener that can send me a few of the magnets. I’m not going to make it to the stadium this year.
Oh hell ya!
It says this game is the free game of the day on my MLB At Bat app. Nice!!!

I think so
But not positive. I have it on my iPhone and love it.

Weird. My Fox Sports – South channel decided to become Fox Sports Tennessee and air hockey right now. Lame
Kawakami - 1, Halladay - 0
Esco has been struggling since he hurt his back.

Carpengui—I really appreciate what you’re doing with these new PBP graphics. It makes for very nice one-stop shopping for catching up on what’s happened or for following the action.
He turned 59 last Wednesday

Can someone please
Go back to Florida and get the Braves
Just an April Fools Joke,
but doing ok without the lottery.
Sheridan " Braves look dangerous this season", I agree.
I have a feeling you are doing pretty well for yourself also :)

Thanks for giving us some insight of what is being said.

That's a difficult ? at this point,
I know many would say Heyward, but I’m not putting those kind of expectations on the kid.
Sheridan " Braves look dangerous this season", I agree.
Could be one of the pitchers. Hudson might have a Cy kinda year. Or JJ. Or Hanson.
My other choice is Chipper.
Mac is on fire now, and if that last he could be in the running. I also am impressed with Glaus.
I think we have a lot of talent on the team this year. It’s gonna be fun to watch.
Sheridan " Braves look dangerous this season", I agree.
I hope so too
Is it just me or has he just not looked the same since the back injury?

I'm gonna take a wild guess
And say none of the Braves players really wanna be playing today.

Geez, coming home to the wife and kids has killed them :)

Haha
Maybe they’re just a little tired from getting some extra work in, if you get what I’m saying

Why in God's green earth does Jo-Jo make the team?!?
Sheridan " Braves look dangerous this season", I agree.
Sox bat around on JoJo. WP runner to 3d.
Diaz misses fly foul down the line. Should have had it.
1B. 12-1.
Wow … meltdown.
So, Braves predictions anyone?
90-72
Wild Card Champs
3 games back of Philly
MVP: BMac

You really think we'll
pick up Crawford?
by bravesforever16 on Apr 3, 2010 2:43 PM EDT up reply actions
Yes
Because I’m not sold on McLouth at all. He’s been frequently injured his whole career and if it wasn’t for one great season, he’d be an average baseball player.

Game 7 of the WS. Tied in the bottom of the 9th. Chipper on 2nd. Heyward lines one to LF. Chipper turns 3rd and beats the throbygone by a fingernail. Heyward and Chipper get mobbed on the field and they lift Bobby cox on their shoulders while being awarded the 2010 Championship.

and they will if the team is playing good ball, and winning games, imo
Sheridan " Braves look dangerous this season", I agree.
I think Chipper covered it...
…the Braves checked out last night. I am just glad this is today and not next week, lol.
Freeman: HS teammate wore 22. very close won state championship. died. knows his Mom – teacher – learned a lot from her as a person. Wanted to pay respectys and give her something special to know always.
Anybody a little worried
about this awful performance last 2 games?
Not really
Everyone’s pretty much just trying not to get hurt at this point.
Worry if they’re still playing poorly in a week.
by OrangeBritches on Apr 3, 2010 3:13 PM EDT up reply actions
Nah not really
just wonderin’ what other people think
by bravesforever16 on Apr 3, 2010 3:16 PM EDT up reply actions
Ummm no
These guys have been in ST since mid February. They haven’t seen their families in months. And they’re playing an exibition game on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. They just don’t care at this point.
That’ll change on Monday tho.

Now that I think about it
this could be a possible World Series matchup
I can't wait until Kimbrel and Proctor make it up to the bigs.
Our BP will rock!
Sheridan " Braves look dangerous this season", I agree.
84-86 sliders. 94 only call out on heater. mixing it up but control not the best, really juust missing. K, weak pop fly, 2 BBs …
Sounds like the walks didn't hurt, that's good. Like the 2 K's.
Sheridan " Braves look dangerous this season", I agree.
I didn't know he had that kind of power,
but now I do :)
Sheridan " Braves look dangerous this season", I agree.
Yeah baby,
Time for the regular season to begin!
