Wafers. No one is suggesting Richie Sexson tonight. So don’t bring it up. Sit down.

There were extenuating circumstances involving Sexson. See last night’s blog.

Richie Sexson can still come back and have an impact.

I heard one time Bobby Cox ripped his pants on the way to the mound. Then all the sudden his dirty diaper drooped out the back and was hanging low.

I’m gonna be honest…I’m mostly watching the Hawks game tonight and occassionally switching back to the Braves (as opposed to the other way around). I just don’t know how much longer I can take seeing the Braves act so inept at the plate. It’s painful to watch.

Any Heyward updates? Any McCann updates? How about Glavine or Garret? Why isn’t Ross in the line up, uh? I am such a piece of sh!t that I actually think it is okay to add a comment/question and not bother to read even a page or two of other responses to see if the topic has been covered. What spoiled children you are.

Superhoo: Hampton got booed quite lustily. Not, say, Barry Bonds-level booing, but just a notch below.

If it would be up to some people in this room Schafer would be in the leadoff spot. Hanson would be up pitching, and well you all know the rest of the line up. Maybe the Braves should hire yall and the Braves would win everynight.

Wow I think we’ve found someone slower than Kotchman – Derek Lowe. He was going so slow they should play tuba music every time he runs.

I saw Baby Mama with your Hollywood girlfriend, Tina Fey, last night. It was a pretty good date movie, but I was surprised to see Fey in a batting cage scene. Pretty good looking left handed bat! Your taste gets a big +.

Does Baby Mama just keep getting funnier and funnier to anybody out there? I thought it was pretty good at first but I keep seeing it on HBO. That #$@! is funny as hell.

The batting cage scene cracks me up every time. Something about Greg Kinnear getting hit in the back with a baseball. I don’t know.

“I was swimming with dolphins this morning when I realized something. I am a great man.”

Tina Fey is redunkulous. Hot.

Okay, that’s probably enough.

Sorry to inconvenience you by making you read a couple lines, or actually wasting 30 seconds of your time by helping someone out and answering a question. If it bothers you so much just skip it and go on to the next comment. I bet you’re the same kind of person that when someone asks you the time, you say “there’s a clock right there.”

HAHA! The crowd is laughing at Hampton. Now if he could only tear his pants exposing a tiny bit of his butt cheeks it would make the crowd laugh harder.

Great, he’ll walk Omar and Yunel will hit into a double play even I could turn.

What does it take to get those people off their asses!?

They aren’t booing him because he was hurt theya re booing him because after he spent all that time rehabing he just walked away. Family problems yes. And honestly I wouldn’t have wanted him on this team myself with his previous woes, but that’s why they are booing him.

Mitchell

May 1st, 2009

How bout Grand Slam number two for Frenchy.

I was there for the first one. It was as good as Sid sliding I tell you.

I was there for both. Lucky me. I’d never been to a game with a walk off homerun. It was awesome. So now Jeff will probably hit into a double play.

Jim, Just curious, as I open my first beer, what’s your choice tonight?

Mitchell

I feel like I might have booed Hampton too but it’s a little overkill.

There are more worthy people to boo.

Save it for the Cubs and Tex.

Chipper can score from 1st on a double.

McCann can score from 1st on a double.

Can Infante score from 1st on a double?

But no!
