Uggla blew up my mlb.tv stream with that hit. Kept looped back to "56-game-streak" and his swing.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Marcum was just rubbing all over some dude's bald head in the bullpen.

 

[Lambtron]

Twins signed Hudson Boyd tonight. I'm glad. He was a very out of the box pick for them. High school pitcher who can hit the mid-90s.

 

[ConradCervantes]

JERRY FUCKING HAIRSTON!! What a fucking catch! Full extension!

It'd probably help him get to the majors if he took 3-4 MPH off his fastball so he can pound the strike zone, though.

 

[eznark]

hahahahahahahaha

 

[mightynine]

Constanza with another RBI hit after Heyward flies out softly.

Ho-hum. Just luck I guess.

Can I now assume the Braves' front office is hoping Chipper retires after this year so we can have both Constanza and Heyward in the lineup at the same time?

Oh I'm sure they'll work on molding him into a finesse pitcher in no time!

i hope not, chipper has been one of our best hitters this year.

 

[ConradCervantes]

And Braun launches it out!

 

[yankeehater]

Go Braves!

 

[mightynine]

I know, just feel like he's being held together with duct tape and hope.

 

[Doytch]

How in hell is that a hit for Constanza? Friggin Orlando Cabrera reached it and had it in his glove.

Stanton hit a 474 ft home run. Highly recommended viewing for cool kids with mlb.tv

 

[carlos]

Constanza over .400 again, and now taking occasional walks too...

bourne and prado killing the offense on the homestand

home game, generous scorers.

 

[Lambtron]

Thome just hit 600. Fuck yeah, Jimmers!

 

[ViperVisor]

Stink Jr

 

[eznark]

Awesome

 

[ConradCervantes]

Brewers are killing it on the field tonight! Three double plays and a triple play in five innings. And two plays at the plate to boot.

 

[JaskoX1]

 

[clemenx]

Thome!

 

[ToxicAdam]

Congrats to Jim Thome, thanks for helping beat the Tigers (hopefully).

 

[Lambtron]

It's too bad, 600 homers is a far more impressive feat than 3,000 scratch singles.

 

[Doytch]

Yeah was fun to see his family come out. First-ballot HOF but obvious statement is obvious.

 

[verbum]

This last inning is a great example of why this may not be the Braves year. We get a big break and fail to execute. Just the little things the players have failed to do at key moments in some games.
Plus the decline of the pitching staff since the ASG.
This series and the Diamondback series are so big right now.
Prado and Heyward have to start having some key hits in these 8 games.

Edit: Heyward is at .217 now.

 

[Corran Horn]

Phew...6 pitch innings are awesome.

Just heard about Thome, cool.

 

[eznark]

picrevealingidiocy

What are you, a fucking retard? If you watch baseball and don't appreciate Thome's career, what exactly are you watching for?

 

[Lambtron]

Shocker, Alex Burnett still sucks. I hope the Twins dump him out of the team bus after the game in a really rough neighborhood in Detroit and let him fend for himself.

Even better, isn't he an Indians fan?

Uhh, wat? I can't understand why you would think the Braves wouldn't make the playoffs - or that they even have a chance of winning the WS, so I don't get what you mean by "the Braves' year."

 

[eznark]

Even better, isn't he an Indians fan?

I would assume so with that ugly ass avatar, but I don't recall him ever posting.

 

[Sanjuro]

Sucks that Thome hit his 600th on Monday, now he will be known as fodder for steroid talk for the rest of the week.

 

[Corran Horn]

Fontenot hits a hr!

Wow. Our solo homerun streak is going strong again

 

[ConradCervantes]

:jnc at the troll backfire.

55 mph curve from Wolf. Awesome.

 

[Sharp]

Congrats to Thome, dude is still fucking awesome.

He's not the Indians fan who posted very early in the year getting pissed off because I said the Indians' record in one-run games was meaningless, is he? Actually I think Jasko is an M's fan.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Gund Arena is in Cleveland, I'd be surprised is he's a Mariners fan. I'd be surprised if anyone is a M's fan at this point, though.

Last year they had "luck' on their side, some key hits and mistakes by other teams that got them into the playoffs despite losing some key players to injuries. Right now it seems the breaks are against them.
And the pitching staff, such as Hudson giving up the last two HR's, O'Flaherty giving up the 2 run homer last night at the 7th inning, and Lowe's losing the lead in his last start just make me feel real insecure about the rest of the season.

 

[jakncoke]

I just dont know anymore. Cutch about to enter sub .200 for post ASG

You're 8 games ahead of the Giants in pythag W/L who are now sans-Beltran and Panda, and the Cardinals are playing Jon Jay every day. I wouldn't be worried, and I have zero belief that Heyward turns it around this season.

Damn, that's crazy

 

[Sharp]

Damn, that's crazy

Meh, Livo does it every game.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Meh, Livo does it every game.

Oh yea, forgot about him and Padilla with the Eephus pitch.

 

[verbum]

OK, the leprechauns against the bearded Giant.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Shocker, Alex AJ Burnett still sucks. I hope the Twins Yankees dump him out of the team bus after the game in a really rough neighborhood in Detroit Kansas City (lol) and let him fend for himself.

[Spooks]

Grats to Thome. If only he could of done this in a Tribe uniform

I wish the Phils could have gotten him back this year.

 

[Macattk15]

You better fucking sign Hultzen.

 

[carlos]

oh look, another sac bunt, just what the braves needed

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Don't hit it on the ground Brian.

 

[JABEE]

I wish the Phils could have gotten him back this year.

Now that he's gotten to 600 they could still trade him. He'd have to pass through all the NL teams first. The Phillies would be 15th on the waiver wire.

 

[Sharp]

I wish the Phils could have gotten him back this year.

What position would he play?
