Expecting a huge game from Jonny Gomes.

[DirkPiggler]

I'll be the fat guy in a Braves Sunday cap sitting on the 2nd row just to the right of home plate. Be sure to throw something at the TV if you see me.

He was there last year too doing the same thing. Are you there Hawk?

[The Chosen One]

So I guess Terdo and CJ will be at 1st and 3rd respectively.

Cool, that gothic font kinda makes a nice visual allusion to famous nativist movements of the past. Good thinking, whoever came up with that.

You know someone just saw Gangs of New York and thought Bill the Butcher was the hero.

[Dalyn]

Expecting a huge game from Uribe and KJ.

[ATLBraves247]

Expecting a huge game from Uribe and KJ.

I'm assuming that's a joke? I bet CJ shows up tonight.

[Dalyn]

I'm assuming that's a joke? I bet CJ shows up tonight.

A joke? Why? Did I miss something? Or do you just not like Uribe and KJ?

[ATLBraves247]

They were traded duh.

[Dalyn]

They were traded duh.

:happy0157: Good one.

[blueagleace1]

And Uribe is already missed...

[DaneHill]

Right on cue....error by CJ through his legs with lead off man. :facepalm:

[thewupk]

And Uribe is already missed...

Just a part of the plan to get the highest draft position possible

[Dalyn]

Terrible error by Uribe. Hope we can unload him before the deadline. Maybe package him with KJ and send them to the Mets.

[Heyward]

Just a part of the plan to get the highest draft position possible

Makes the most sense unfortunately.

[Dalyn]

Makes the most sense unfortunately.

You were one of the guys telling me earlier this season that it made no sense to try for a higher draft position.

[Krovahn]

Nice pickoff move by man-ban.

[zbhargrove]

Nice to see Manny with an efficient first... hope he can keep it up. Ian Thomas dealing right now with the Dodgers.

[USMA76]

Nice pickoff move by man-ban.

Nice to erase CJ's error.

[USMA76]

Heyward batting .284 which is higher than he ever did in Atlanta. I like Markakis but I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss J-Hey.

[Heyward]

Everyone misses Heyward, but this is beating a dead horse all over again.

[Heyward]

Welp thats not good.

[USMA76]

Everyone misses Heyward, but this is beating a dead horse all over again.

I know but seeing him in a Cards uni is just weird.

[jpx7]

MULTI-HIT GAMES.

LEFT-HANDED PITCHING.

Edit: Sorry: just a drinking-game I'm playing.

[Heyward]

I know but seeing him in a Cards uni is just weird.

I prefer disgusting.

[USMA76]

Welp thats not good.

That HR is scheduled to land in about two minutes. Definitely not a cheapie.

[jpx7]

I'm only tuning into tonight's game for select PAs.

:HeywardWut:

[USMA76]

Cards' pitcher is wearing out our RH hitters on the low and away changeup.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Was I the only one who went from the game to a commercial with John Denver singing in it for a moment?

[USMA76]

Living in Oklahoma, I'm stuck with the Cards' broadcast as FoxSouth is blacked out.

Their announcers are talking about us like we're a minor league team, oh well.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Joe, please do not say "kickin' booty" again.:facepalm:

[jpx7]

Their announcers are talking about us like we're a minor league team, oh well.

Well, comparatively ...

[Heyward]

Their announcers are talking about us like we're a minor league team, oh well.

I mean, it's not a crazy statement.

At least offensively speaking, the pitching is ok.

[Dalyn]

The offense is definitely at a minor league level right now.

[jpx7]

How has the kid thrown 57 pitches through less than three innings?

[USMA76]

Another Cardinals run and I'm switching over to Friends re-runs.

It is nice to watch a well-constructed team of competent professionals. Too bad they're wearing the other guys uniforms.

Seriously: I stopped watching Simpsons re-runs for this.

[CrimsonCowboy]

This is going to be a long weekend, I'm afraid.

[msstate7]

This is going to be a long weekend, I'm afraid.

I was hoping we could keep things slightly interesting until the Bulldogs kicked off. Unfortunately, that's out the window...

[jpx7]

This is going to be a long weekend, I'm afraid.

[skillet]

This team looks lifeless and pissed off. The looks Simmons and AJ have given tell a lot. They know we've thrown in the towel and look mad as hell.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Dad gum you, Dalyn:mad:

I have seen what can not be unseen.

[WaitingFor2017]

Easy call to overturn. Makes you wonder how blue missed it in the first place.

[jpx7]

Professor Fredi on patrol.

[Hawk]

McAlpin says Uribe and KJ are both still on the bench.

[The Chosen One]

We're somehow still in this game. :Gasp:

[Julio3000]

McAlpin says Uribe and KJ are both still on the bench.

Good to know...I felt certain I had seen Uribe earlier and thought I must have been imagining things.

[jpx7]

Chip: "**** COMPUTERS!"

Joe: "YEA YEA YEA!"

[The Chosen One]

Gomes approaching. Meh.

[jpx7]

With Freeman out, and in light of the recent trade, Pierzynski is probably my second- or third-favorite position-player, so ... yea, the Braves need to trade Ne Plus pretty soon, too.

[jpx7]

More like Johnny Blowmes.

[The Chosen One]

I need a gif of that Fredi-Heyward handshake hug.

[Dalyn]

Still have a cloud full of owl pics, huh?

To be fair ... my imgur is packed full of "Boomkaki" graphics, and I've only been able to use one so far.

Pretty sure that's Heyward and Fredi.

That's an awkward hug. Like AJ/Freddie.
