Sick to see all these frustrated Dodger fans climbing out of their cocoons they’ve been in for 20 years.
I guess that pales in comparison to the 43 year cocoon youve been in with the Falcons, a team that has NEVER had back to back winning seasons. Try and match that record of futility in any professional sport lol

TurnThePage (July 25th, 2009 6:29 pm): “Chipper Jones and Brian McCann need to come through a little more often in some of these situations. I know that Chipper eventually hit the solo home run to put Atlanta ahead once again, but Jones whiffed with the bases loaded . . . “
Chipper last night: 3 for 4 with a HR, 2 BBs, 1 RBI and 2 Runs scored — .750/.833/1.500 –, and you obsess on his one “failure”?
Whatever, dude.

cabravesfan – so far we have journeyed from 1976 to 1985, and I guess I will stop for now. Hopefully the Braves will not send me back to the video until after the game.

Bat–where do you live? You may be in a “blacked-out” area. Give their customer service folks a call in any case, they’re actually pretty helpful and will clear things up for you. Called ‘em a few times myself.

Choppinmama–
Glad it’s going good!
Yeah, when McLouth hit that homer, my first thought was, “Oh crud…I bet Chipper and Prado both get on…” Sure enough–first and second, that dreaded situation. I was nervous, really hoping he could get a hit, but it just wasn’t meant to be. The win made it easier to swallow. He cann start another streak tonight!
Have you noticed his skinned-up elbow?
I have. It’s been like that for quite a couple weeks, at least. I don’t think it’s from that crash into the wall on June 22–that would be a really long time…
Page 20 is where the really good stuff starts in the CT!
Ends on page 22.
your 6:15 …….muchas hilarioso!
Thanks!

Alright, Braves, let’s do this.
Also, every time I think about the Brewers these two stories come to mind:

The bagginess and the big collars on the Brewers’ unis make them look like hoodies.
And the red on the back pockets of the Braves’ pants are priceless.

They’ll probably just tell you to power cycle your modem. (Unplug the a/c cord, wait a minute or so, plus it back in and try again.)
I live in Fla, am blacked out from the Marlins/Rays and have no problems watching the Braves.)

Maybe McCann is having problems with the glasses. The Brewers guys said last night that it is so humid when the roof is closed that Eric Gagne’s glasses always fogged up.

Pete……..I get to watch almost all the Braves games. The only ones I cant see is if the Braves have a day game on Saturday, then I will miss it (because Fox has the exclusive rights to televise the games until 4pm Pacific time). Most of the time, Fox doesnt show the Braves on the West Coast. I have the MLB Extra Innings package on Direct TV.
