Great show once again, guys. I know that last night’s game sucked, but all Monday games have sucked this season.
As I was listening to the show yesterday afternoon, I came up with my own “good sign” for the week — actually, it’s for the season. It’s the health of this team. The team that’s on the field now is the same team that was on the field on Opening Day, with the good exception of Chipper’s presence in the lineup now.
Look around our division, and that’s something the other teams are lacking. Phillies and Washington are beat up, and now the Dodgers are without Kemp for a while. Do we think that this team would be where it is if we lost one or more of McCann (like Nats’ Ramos), Heyward (Werth), Kimbrel (Storen), Freeman (like Phils’ Howard) or Uggla (Utley)? I’m glad that we don’t have to face that — current, hopefully non-serious eye problems with Freeman notwithstanding.
And on this note: I think the games over the next 2-3 months are especially important, given that the other legit teams in our division are hurt. I’d much rather have a comfortable lead when those injured players come back than have their returns be the added boost that gets them over the hump.

Lots of flyouts so far for Huddy.

Marteeeeen! Who ARE these people??

Jones!
Nice little rally!

Baseball is so unpredictable. I thought we would be hitting like this against Homer Bailey, not Cueto.
Go Braves!
May 15th, 2012 at 8:01 pm
Uggla! Everybody’s playin’!
May 15th, 2012 at 8:06 pm
Walker. It’s Not Monday. Explains everything. Go Bravos!

What a freaking thing of beauty that at-bat was by Heyward. Down two strikes, worked it full, fouled off four good pitches, and then BOOM, double.

Tiny ERA, meet the Braves.
Braves, meet … hey, where did Tiny ERA go? He was just here.

Leah, your man is having quite the night!

Where are those people who wanted to trade Martin Prado so bad?
May 15th, 2012 at 8:29 pm
Everybody but Uggla has at least one hit or one walk, and Uggla has an RBI sac fly. In the fourth inning!

this is better

Yowzers! Killin’ it!

#113 Let me at ‘em.
May 15th, 2012 at 8:37 pm
I think this offense might hang 25 runs on somebody this year.
May 15th, 2012 at 8:44 pm
ANOTHER beautiful, long at bat. Chased Cueto in four innings, and we’ve cost this guy eleven pitches so far without recording an out.
May 15th, 2012 at 9:10 pm
Prado-is-fantastic!!!
May 15th, 2012 at 9:12 pm
Come on Blue Eyes! Hit a homer just for kicks!
May 15th, 2012 at 9:15 pm
Love our offense, but I have to admit this game from Huddy is one of the luckiest I’ve seen him pitch. I’ll take it all day, but he’s been up in the zone.
May 15th, 2012 at 9:17 pm
Crap; me and my big mouth.
May 15th, 2012 at 9:18 pm
Uh, Fredi, little help?
May 15th, 2012 at 9:21 pm
Whew.
