We’re gonna win tonight…I FEEL it. And you know I rarely make that call. Only every time they put on the uni. So was the catch Shane V made last night robbing Glaus, was that exceptional? I want it to have been exceptional but he kinda made it look easy.

Leah – it was an exceptional catch. Amazing timing (and pretty good ups) to make that catch.
Bub – typically, I agree with you on the hitting approach and while we haven’t seen it much in this Phillies series, don’t you think the Braves have been much more patient at the plate than we’ve seen in many, many years? You know, because they saw Heyward doing it and thought it would be a good idea.

D-Lowe in his last 6 starts against the Phillies is 5-0 with a 2.08 ERA.

Steve, yeah. Way to ruin my rant, but yeah.

Now, THAT is a catch.

Moyer is, like, 82 years old…and Lowe is (another dead horse-type rant): the luckiest pitcher in the MLB. We can win the rubber game.

Game time in 2 hours. Moyer just threw his first pitch. Diaz is studying the release point it on video. Chipper’s graphing it.

*release point of it…

Bub, your brain is fried my friend.
Here’s a fun read. http://buzztap.com/-NkUC4M

I barely fire up the computer and we’re losing. That didn’t take long. I haven’t been able to get on ABT on either computer for a few days. I keep getting a “can’t open socket” message. It probably has something to do with my disfunction. Any thoughts computer profs out there?
April 22nd, 2010 at 7:49 pm
Can we keep Dobbs?
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:05 pm
I’ve gotten the “can’t open socket” message now and again. No idea what it’s about.
Derek Lowe sucks. Two more years of him at 15 million. Yeah. Bobby needs to man up and pen him. Medlen is badass. He’ll never do it, though.

Was Heyward dinged on purpose? Payback for whats his toes? I feel a brawl a comin’.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:09 pm
lol, nobody has ever, in the history of baseball, gotten Jamie Moyer to hit a player on purpose. Heyward didn’t even know he got hit. Ump had to tell him.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:12 pm
1 hit through 3 innings off Jamie Moyer = I’m watching the draft. It’s up to you, Marteeeen.
Steve, by approach, I mean: not trying to pull Jamie Moyer, the #1 book on the slowman. Escobar comin’ out of his shoes trying to pull it three times. I mean, I heard “don’t pull Moyer” fifteen times in the last three years.
Marteeen keeps me in the game with a base knock.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:13 pm
This is a joke
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:16 pm
Finally a call goes our way. I wish I didn’t care.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:20 pm
I’m going to watch the draft now. Finding out where my Gators get drafted is more interesting than watching the Braves lose to old man Moyer.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:27 pm
I hate this game. I wish I cared about the draft. What has to happen for TP to get canned? How many weeks into the season is it possible for a big league player to bat under .200? Just had to close my door due to children still awake and the words flying out of my mouth.

Somethin’ funny from the DOB blog:
Got a hitch in your pitch? Bring it on down to Atlanta Metro ERA!!! We got your ground ballers, free swingers, pull happies, and caught nappies!!!
Don’t let that ERA sit there like that! Throw it through an Atlanta Bat!
Over Six? We got the fix!
Up to Seven? You’re in Heaven!!
“Hi! My name is Jamie Moyer, and when my ERA was lookin’ big, Bobby’s boys at Atlanta Metro ERA chopped that sucker down to size! If they can smooth me out at age 87, they can help you, too!”
That’s right, folks. Terry Pendleton is our trained ERA reduction expert. His motto: “It’s a swing thing. The more ya take, the more I ache!”
Come in this week and get a FREE PITCH COUNT REDUCTION.

That’s hilarious! You wrote that huh.

Not sayin’.

Whatever works!
