Leah, sorry you felt abandoned…wed. is my “night out with the guys/gals” Came home in time to see the bases loaded and no runs produced. Bummer. I agree Werth looks like a Neanderthaller Dude. Hoping for 2/3 tomorrow. Go Braves!

Oh…I’m fine. It was good to see Chipper get a couple hits as a lefty. Venters was great. Huddy, not as good as Halliday. We’ll get ‘em next time so on and so forth.

The Escobar grounder really was a shame. It really should have gotten through. Don’t know if Mac could have scored from 2nd on it but … kind of pointless conversation, I suppose. To add to your good signs, Bub: Chipper with some hits, Glaus clearly getting to the ball better and Nate making good contact. The more I think about it, the season is not over yet!

That was me.

If you missed on the AJC, Vizcaino pitched well tonight. 7 innings, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K’s. He’s 2-1 now, don’t know his ERA, but I think he had a rough start in there somewhere.

Frenchy 0 for his last 24, spiraling fast. I’m going to be mature with my reaction.

Early Morning Post. I haven’t seen this time of day in two months. (Final today…)

Atlanta, can’t we pack the house for our first place team versus the best pitcher in Baseball during Bobby’s last year on the night after two dramatic 9th inning victories in a row? If not now, when?
A bad baseball town, I fear it shall ever be. Is there no city in the whole Southeast that can take advantage of this market?
I have a solution: pump the games into people’s homes, sell season tickets, Pay Per View… and give the people at home microphones with live feeds into a new sound system at the Ted. Have the technicians pump in real, bonafide screaming from home, and make it where it can’t be faked or increased beyond the noise being properly made. Yes, yes, I’m onto something.
From Tampa to Portland, the Crowd Goes Wild. Hell, we might could even arrange holographic images for each “ticket holder.” I’m calling James Cameron. It must be done.

*holographic images to fill the seats, that is.

*I fear it shall NEVER be.
I hope I don’t write about Henry Davis Thorough on my test…
April 22nd, 2010 at 7:52 am
Well I MUST be in the twilight zone for Bub to be up so early. Good luck on your final. For real, it seems the “crowd” is less than last year. Embarrassing.

re: 85 I have a funny comment that mr. Conviction won’t allow me to post. Damn conscience.
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:07 am
Bub, I know it’s a dead horse, but I SO agree about empty seats. As a season ticketholder, if I can’t be at the games, I make darned sure that my seats have butts in them. My butt will be there tonight, has it has been the last two nights.
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:20 am
*I fear it shall EVER be.
What’s WRONG with me???
Anne, as Chris Tucker would say to Sam Jackson, “Good lookin’ out…”

School’s not out yet, the traffic is bad, it’s a weekday, spring practice is going on for UGA, blah, blah, blah – very disappointing.
So my son and I were watching the game last night on the DVR and were about an hour behind. We put our rally caps on in the 8th but my son questioned the power of the cap for a game whose outcome had already been decided. I told him it would still work, but deep down, I had a real crisis of faith about it. Thoughts?
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:57 am
Prayers and Rally Cap power, both being eternal, operate on a plane separate from our transient temporal sphere. All that counts is that you don’t know how it ends.

“The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen…”

Pinella put his high money ace in middle relief. Bobby would never do that with Lowe.
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:51 am
Steve, I’ve mentioned before I expect the Braves to win every game. If they’re being shutout by the best pitcher in the baseball well I sense a dramatic ending even Walt himself couldn’t fashion. As Bub said…gotta have faith. I’m curious to see which game Halliday pitches the next time phills come to town. I’m glad I’m going to two of those games so I will get to see atleast one game we can win. I mean Halliday can’t pitch two COMPLETE games in a row. *chuckles* right? I am…right about that…surely.
April 22nd, 2010 at 1:16 pm
Leah, Halladay’s innings pitched in his last three starts: 9, 8, 9. He can go all day, pretty much ever day.
April 22nd, 2010 at 1:16 pm
And the Atlanta Braves have now officially cost me a letter grade.
I demand a win tonight.
April 22nd, 2010 at 2:16 pm
Awe shucks Bub. Sorry ’bout that. I’d give you an A if that makes you feel Any better. Do the Phillies play the Rays anytime soon? I’m hoping one day Doc gets a shellacking.

This is the first time I’ve watched us play Moyer since I began to dislike him. This is the one guy… the ONE GUY… who, if he shuts us down, after giving up 5 runs to each of Houston and Florida… I’m not going to listen to any “he just brought the pitching today.” I’ve listened to it for the other sub-par pitchers we’ve faced who’ve magically discovered their mega-mojo, but not this time.
Seriously, if 3-mississippi Per Hour Methuselah shuts us down, I’m going into hiding until we get a big bat.
Or until the next game. Whichever comes first.
But do you know why he stands a decent chance at doing just that? Cuz we are a team without an approach. Anybody else feel that way? Just… up to each batter. No philosophy. No gameplan. No approach.
Hack. Hack. Hack. Oh, look it’s the 8th innning and their starter’s only thrown 6 pitches, how’d THAT happen, I wonder????
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Please win.
