Tcc’s prediction: If the Braves get 14 runs a game, they are going to be OK. I mean that.

Tcc is brilliant. I mean that.

Leah, we’re all feeling brilliant today, huh? I was at work when Heyward made his historic blast, but if I’d seen it I bet I would have been blubbering too.
Now 16-5..my, oh, my..

It’s gonna be fun folks? Am I the only one that noticed Prados general fabulousness especially on the base paths?
April 5th, 2010 at 6:03 pm
I mean “fun folks!”

Good Golly!

Yes? Bub??

I hope Steve or Scott post “I was there!” comments when they get home. Anne were you there? It sounded like the crowd was really into it! I love the Heyward chants. I’M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!

haha, nice, Miss Molly.
Just watched the homer about 57 times. That bat speed is just silly. No wonder he can be so patient. He can crank up the swing pretty late.
Love that he hit it off Big Z.

Looks like I picked quite a day to drive to the beach.
Go Braves

I WAS THERE!!! AND I saw Steve, Scott, and Ballpark Frank before the game. I cannot attest as to whether or not Steve’s belly was dancing…but I bet it was. What a great game…made me forget the godawful exhibition games.
The Cubs were being the Cubs right and left…it’s like they excel at the same dumb stuff every year, no matter who the players are. Cases in point: three guys hovering near each other in the outfield and all of them miss the fly ball…and throwing crazy low or crazy high when they had plenty of time to throw on-the-money. Bizarre…but great.
I was sitting near a ton of Cub fans…best moment for me was when the Cubs on 1st AND 2nd were called out and Pinella came out to argue. I’m yelling, “Sit down, the both of you!” and the Cubs fans giving me dirty looks.
Hang on, Hank Aaron throwing the first pitch to Heyward as his catcher – that was awesome. Wait! McClouth’s awesome outfielding was my favorite. No! Hinske’s triple! Uh, I mean, Heyward’s home run was my favorite. GREAT GAME…GO BRAVES!

Thanks for sharing Anne! What a great experience! I might just watch the whole game over again tomorrow. I damn near cried again reading about it on DOB’s blog.
April 5th, 2010 at 8:50 pm
There’s no crying in baseball.
April 5th, 2010 at 8:51 pm
Butler holding their own so far.

Watching the replay on SS now. Bub, just got off the phone with a Braves friend who didn’t see the game and I was trying to tell him about JH’s bat speed. Just about a million miles an hour, I figure.
Anne, great to hear about your exciting day, it really must have been something. “JASON…HEYWARD…JASON…HEYWARD!”
April 5th, 2010 at 8:56 pm
It was really amazing. I am still hoarse from all the screaming. The Heyward homerun was the most delirious and excited I’ve ever seen Turner Field. Even more so than McCann’s homer off of Clemens in the playoff game against the Astros (it’s the only I can think that even comes close). And for that bottom of the first to unfold like it did after Lowe’s dreadful start. Just euphoric, really.
And the place actually chanted “Let’s go Heyward” every at bat after his first. It was some magical fandom at the Ted. A place that does not see much fan magic.
And yeah, Leah – Prado had a hell of a game. And very aggressive on the base paths (his taking 3rd early in the game). The whole thing was perfection. And the Moylan/Saito/Wagner combo was damn impressive. I’m just so happy right now.

Do any of you ever watch A&E’s Intervention? Tonight’s episode was crazy amazing.

BubububuButler!

Was there a Braves game?
April 5th, 2010 at 9:07 pm
Will, yes, the Braves actually won the World Series tonight in Grand Fashion! Sorry you missed it. It’ll be in the papers tomorrow, no doubt.
April 5th, 2010 at 9:11 pm
Steeeeeeve! I love that the fans were so into it. I hope they keep it up all year with the chanting. So….everyone’s dying to know, did you rip off your shirt and belly dance?
April 5th, 2010 at 9:14 pm
Maybe a few less than everyone…
April 5th, 2010 at 9:21 pm
Cledus! We’ll never find out if you give him an out!
Btw, Bub, just want to make sure you saw my last comment on the OTR thread. I know how us A.D.D. Types forget about conversations that aren’t right in front of you.
April 5th, 2010 at 9:28 pm
Leah, you’re right. I can’t wait to see Stevie on Youtube, shuckin’ the shirt and “Shakin’ Ma Belly!!”

Butler’s coach looks 12.
