Oh come on people! I left that one locked and loaded!

“ahhhhh…that-was-fun. Still not changing my name. A deal’s a deal.
I would breath on it…warm it up.”
That’s what she said.

Be patient, silly. I was copypasting.
May 5th, 2010 at 10:34 pm
tee hee…I thought following up with “locked and loaded” made it even better.

Great win! Princess..didn’t know you were a heavy metal kinda gal..Ka Bang!

Ok…Paper bag mentioned Matty D hitting the ball tonight, McCann still can’t see but we’re working on that, Chip did good…do we feel better? How concerned are we about a pulled groin? 10 hits sounds a lot better.

This might be the only game we win with Heyward out….
May 5th, 2010 at 10:41 pm
Oh Cledus…you don’t remember the discussion when my sawed off shot gun came into play?
May 5th, 2010 at 10:42 pm
That’s funny Curtalicious. I hope we don’t have to play enough without him to form any sort of sample size.
May 5th, 2010 at 10:46 pm
When you call him Curtalicious… it just … hurts.
May 5th, 2010 at 10:47 pm
I TRIED! You said it wasn’t cool.
May 5th, 2010 at 10:48 pm
C’mon, Spurs. Pick it up.
May 5th, 2010 at 10:50 pm
And how do you think I feel when you give your best rally poems to the litter box? Funny…dude on ESPN just said “Swisherlicious” about Nick Swisher’s homer. I swear EVERYBODY reads this message board.
May 5th, 2010 at 10:50 pm
No, no. That’s NOT what I said. *crosses arms*
May 5th, 2010 at 10:50 pm
I could copy and paste but I’m too tired.
May 5th, 2010 at 10:52 pm
Princess…sorry I don’t remember the SOSG talk. Obviously, I should pay closer attention! And, btw, one of the c’s in tcc stands for Curtis. Curt “I ain’t your daddy” so don’t worry, but probably old enough to be

Did they really say on ESPN that Heyward wasn’t stretched properly??
May 5th, 2010 at 11:01 pm
SHUT UP! Thaddeus Cledus Curtis? Awesome! BubALICIOUS, the big fella on Baseball Tonight with the butt cut and scruffy beard did say he didn’t like hearing that about Hey Hey Hey cause his guess is someone’s not stretching him right.

What an unlikely win tonight. Did anyone have any faith after losing Heyward and then blowing the lead in the 8th that we’d get the momentum back and actually pull it out? Big props to Medlen in the 9th for shutting them down and breathing some life back in the team. And Glaus with the big hit to start the 10th. I’m hating him less and less.
Leah – I kinda like the order of the pages as they are, ala DOB’s blog. But I will see if, after you post a comment, you can stay on the current page and not be sent back to page 1. Working on that.

Wait…so it’s…not…all about me? I’m so confu…o…ok.
Actually, that sounds ideal Stevalici… (ahem) Steve. Sounds about 10 times better than what I was thinkng.
May 5th, 2010 at 11:28 pm
Steve..the new format is a little more work as is, but we will work with it. Last year we saw the Braves win when Chipper was out. That was big. Tonight the Braves won when Heyward was out. There must be a message there somewhere. Seems like this team could just “click” and then….Ka Boom!

In other news, the Nationals are a couple pieces from having a heck of a ball club. And I guess they’re about to add Bryce Harper to the fold.
This is why it’s crap to be mid-market. Either be the Yankees & Phillies and spend money. Or soak up enough last place finishes to build an entire team out of first draft picks like Nats, Fish, and Rays. Being in the middle is just going to be endless frustration.
Think of it, our limited success right now is built on snagging a player so late in the draft our scouts had to hide in the damn woods to deflect attention, and a draft & follow pitcher that turned to gold. In Tampa, they just pick the best right off the tree for, what, 5 years in a row? Seven? Ten? Heck, I don’t know. But can you imagine a few years in a row of Strasberg/Harper/Longoria/Lincecum, etc? Those types?
You know what would be brilliant? To plan a 10 year swing of coming in dead last for 7 years and then starting to spend a ton of money after all the draft picks start coming on strong. You could build a dynasty like that.

(a)Definition of torture: Replay of the game came on after the real game ended. We’re still tied and I’m still stressin’ even though I know we won…dammit!
May 5th, 2010 at 11:43 pm
Wait for it!
May 5th, 2010 at 11:51 pm
lol!
