Francoeur walking three times in a game?
I think you meant in a year. Does he get to ride to first base on a unicorn with a marshmellow horn?

Do you realize
We’re only half a game behind San Diego for the best record in the NL!
Kawakami - 1, Halladay - 0
San Diego has the best record in the NL, damn, what a surprise

I wonder if Padres fans
are saying the same thing about us….
I wouldn’t dismiss them, though their pitching staff is due for a regression. They could still take that division if Colorado doesn’t get healthy, though.

On second thought, Heysylvania sounds better. Although Heyward didn’t homer—his awesome presence is enough to merit a re-name of the entire New England area. (NewHeyward)
Jason Heyward is the reason that Chuck Norris parks his car in a garage.
awesome.

wow!, Galarraga had a perfect game in the ninth with two outs
Cabrera fielded a ground ball Galarraga went to cover, it was a clearly out by one whole step, the ump fucked his perfect game and called safe!

Jim Joyce needs to kill himself...it wasn't even close
We have traded away great players for less than nothing and let Texierra walk away, and much much more so pray that Hayward is sent from God and that his energy can ignite the veterans and cause the younger players to hustle more and play winning baseball...
That was a truly terrible call, but...
Jim Joyce is 100 times the umpire, and 1000 times the man, that Bill Hohn will ever be.
"Yeah, and if your Aunt Minnie had a moustache she'd be your Uncle Fred.." - Ernie Johnson
The fact that he admitted fault and was visible upset actually made me feel kind of bad for Joyce. For the most part he’s a decent enough ump.

Compare it to the missed call in Seattle...
and if he switches spot with that guy, who both missed calls, no one even knows his name. Like you, the way Joyce has handled killed any anger I could have had at him. Imagine the reaction from the ump if it had been Hohn, or any of a number of other umps.
How do you possibly make that call???? You got to err the other way if anything

Disgusting
Worst call I’ve ever seen in a baseball game, bar none. Add to that to perfecto being taken away from the kid, and it’s even worse.

LOL
great picture gondeee
"Batting second and playing shortstop-he's Cuban. Yeah, his name's Pablo...no, eh, Yunel Escobar, sorry"
The Phila announcers could praise Heyward enough today.
Every time he came up they spoke about how many All-Star games he’ll end up playing in, and they got away with this pitch and that pitch.
I’ve never heard them speak so scared of an opponent, it was comical.
Hey dawgs 144...
I couldn’t help but notice the picture of that outstanding wide reciever next to your post. You wouldn’t happen to also be one of those rare, talented, extremely good looking genius Braves/Steelers fans would you?
Braves Win! Braves Win!
Why yes I am.
Not too sure about the “extremely good looking” part, but I’ll take the rest! I would assume, that you would in that same club?
Let us not forget that outstanding wide receiver was also a Georgia Bulldog…..
Yes I am. My college squad is UVA. Also well represented with Heath Miller and James Farrior as graduates. Go Braves! Go Steelers!
Braves Win! Braves Win!
Lol
Can’t believe I said graduates. I meant student athle…. Er, former UVA athletes I mean.
Braves Win! Braves Win!
Hey, good guys, both of them. Stand up people, and you were right the first time
they are both graduates. Health on-time, and James finished up his degree in the first or second off-season – the only positive from his Jets days…..
Much to my Dallas Cowboy fan hubby’s chagrin, I’m a long time Steelers fan as well.
Hines sure looks fine in your Avatar.
"Curve: The loveliest distance between two points." ~ Mae West
That must be a fun house-hold during the season. How badly did you give him the business
from the Cowboys at Steelers game in 2008? 4th Q choke!!!!
Hines must have been signaling a 1st down….he seems to do that quite often!
Braves now 10-5 against the Quaker State?

Not to rain on the parade...
I absolutely love the sweep and the 8 game win streak. But I’d love to see us sweep the Phillies when they aren’t scuffling. That’s when they know they aren’t better than us.
Let’s win this road trip!
"Give him the heater Ricky."
They beat us when we were playing like shit in the middle of April (they started the infamous 9). I will take any sweep regardless of the situation.

its always best to beat a team when they are playing really well…
so to that i will agree…id love for the Phillies to get hot and they get spanked by the Braves, and maybe even have that spanking cause a spirally downfall
Heyward,Hanson,and Shaffer r ready now!! Why do you think they havent signed the "right handed bat"?
by fatazfoot on Jan 7, 2009 8:59 PM EST
If you want to see the braves beat a hot team, you will get your chance tomorrow. Hope Medlen gets the team off to a good start. Go braves!!
Braves Win! Braves Win!
I don’t buy it. They couldn’t even score more than one run against Arizona in the last two games, and the last time it took them 14 innings to manage even that.
To what do you ascribe this? Is Arizona’s pitching really that good?
(I’m really asking, I don’t know how good their pitching is.)
Inventor of the iChop, 5/31/10
I buy it
Any team coming off a twenty win month is hot. The dbacks series was just the cherry on top. The same could be said about the braves. The run they are on has had some poor teams in it. Good teams beat bad teams.
Braves Win! Braves Win!
Don't see how it matters much...
Braves Can’t control what the other team did before they played them. We know what they’re capable of, yet the Braves kept them down. They could’ve easily broke out of it if the Braves weren’t on their A game. The Braves deserve credit for that.
This. The stipulations that people put on winning games around here are fucking ridiculous.

Dont go over to TheGoodPhight.....
if you dont want to get mad. Some of those fans dont deserve a team as good as the Phillies
One angry little typist over there stands out.
Internet tough guys = Real life pussys
Braves Win! Braves Win!
Tool
That’s basically what he is. He’s quite absurd over there and plays it off as being angry about his team so he’s allowed. I was born and raised in NW PA and that is why PA is split in terms of the west not liking the east side of the state lol.
"Give him the heater Ricky."
I liked the “I hope Bobby Cox dies of a yeast infection and Chipper dies of syphilis.” comment. That was classy.

I'm having fun over there
After seeing some of the stuff he said I’m just gonna mess with him.
If you do go over there, remember not to troll. If the conversation goes to Braves/Phillies, I’ll leave.

I’m not a member and not planning on joining. Have fun but remember, he doesn’t have room on his knuckles for you, or something similarly stupid to that.
"Give him the heater Ricky."
I liked when he said i had “genteeel old south sensibilities” or something like that. And then he went on about how Arizona had bad laws and rules. Yeah, cause i made up the law, right?

Yeah I saw that too. He must have missed his nap earlier. For all I know, he was the kid who got tazed on the field in Philly. Besides, what Arizona does, is AZ priority. Not like PA is a haven lol.
"Give him the heater Ricky."
Now I know why they’re always so mad on that site! They must all live in or near Philly!

That’s what I love about talking chop. We all know who we’re talking about but havnt called him out by name. Classy! I just observe over there. Got nothing to say to them. Just joined true blue. They seem civil and I look forward to some real baseball discussion( after a 24 hour wait). Glad you guys are here. Just read the replys under a yahoo recap to see what’s out there. Some real idiots. Some dude keeps posting that Bobby Cox hates Asians, night after night. Go braves!! Go braves fans!!
Braves Win! Braves Win!
Damn 24 hour wait.
I wanted to comment on true blue tonight. Some guy had some Vegas numbers showing that the dodgers have a 60% chance of beating us in all four games. I don’t buy it.
Braves Win! Braves Win!
Like I said over there...
Baseball is played by men, not computers. I could care less about “projections.”

That needs to be said here more often.
Heyward is now #5 in NL outfield voting, moving past Holliday and closing fast on The Slumpin’ Hawai’ian.

Hey MVHS
I saw your post over on True Blue (Dodger Blog)…I thought they did a good preview on the Braves as well heading into the series as well.
The only thing i wanted to correct was they had Hanson’s FB topping out at 91 MPH and said it was a full MPH lower than last year.
Ummmm yeah Hanson throws a 94-95 MPH fastball.
Kawakami is not absolute shit, but he isn’t any good either.
by Nova Scotia Steve on Jun 3, 2010 10:56 AM EDT up reply actions
He’s touched 97 a couple of times this year.

What a remarkable job after the 9 straight losses!
This team is for real, although we can still use another OF. We don’t even have JJ, but I love the “bulldog”, Kris Medlen. We caught the Phillies at the right time, and didn’t have to face Halladay….let’s keep it up on the current West Coast trip1
Jim Joyce joins Don Denkinger in imfamy! Feel sorry for him.
Wow! You guys crack me up. These 20 minutes or so every morning when I get to work and read TC make the whole day worth it. I’m hoping to start commenting soon when I can think of something clever that hasn’t already been played out by the time I get on here. Being new on here, I love what I read. It brings me back to 1991 when I would watch the bravos every night on TBS… late in the game and something good starts happening. OH yeah, crank up the organ cuz here comes the heart of the order… Bream, Gant, Justice! A slew of 40,000 or so doing the chop in unison. I tell ya, it sent a chill up this kid’s back watching it. Been a Braves fan for 20 years! Lets take it to the house and have the 1991 World Series played out all over again against this years outdoors and much improved Twins team. We can tweak the outcome a lil bit and let Bobby take it to the house a winner!

Nice run
Also like the fact of winning in a variety of ways and players hustling
and stepping up. People get frustrated with BC’ patience yet
over the long run he’s proven to be correct.
sports also includes sportsmanship. maybe I’m old school but a cartoon
depicting a kid urinating on the state of PA is classless.
I is what I is and I'm sticking to my story
Good thing then,
that the people who run this FAN site are in no way affiliated with the Atlanta Braves organization.

Trust me
That’s nothing compared to some of the things that some of the members post on the Phillies blog. Nothing wrong with having a little fun and enjoying the winning streak. I see no harm in it.
Kawakami - 1, Halladay - 0
have you never seen a bumper sticker before? Its just Calvin being Calvin
We have traded away great players for less than nothing and let Texierra walk away, and much much more so pray that Hayward is sent from God and that his energy can ignite the veterans and cause the younger players to hustle more and play winning baseball...
