T’Hawking, the XM radio programs are disgusting with Yankees/Red Sox, primarily Yankees. The morning show with Rob (the jerk) Dibble is the worst. Even when the Yanks were 10 games out a year or two ago, they wanted to talk Yankees. Makes me puke.

The DBacks announcer just said the Jason Heyward’s first HR was the longest HR hit this year.

Chuck James was Solid until the 6th!!!

Jason Heyward’s opening day HR (476 ft) was indeed the farthest HR so far in all of baseball, per hittrackeronline.com:

Runners on 1st and 2nd with two outs. Heyward up with a 3-2 count. And they caught Infante running too early and tagged him out in a rundown.

McFann :Ô: :Ô:

CJWSUT6th I’m just glad he sat back and rocket it. It’s very encouraging that’s for sure!

Oh yeah…he’ll find some holes.

Especially if Bobby will keep him in the 4-Hole.

Well, blegth…he doesn’t have to go that far…

RHR Thank [goodness] it wasn’t Yunel.

We’re still dumbfounded, though.

THE ONE THING YOU DO NOT DO WITH TWO OUTS AND JASON HEYWARD AT THE PLATE IS GET CAUGHT OFF SECOND BASE!!!!!

GD. Are you kidding me?

I hear Omar on radio get his hit to start the inning, then I come in, turn the game on and it’s a full count on Jason… and that happens.

Haven’t been getting too worked up lately. I mean, they’re winning… great. But then I see that. That pisses me off.

THe announcers mentioned twice on the road trip that Omar must have forgotten how many outs there were because he didn’t run. That shows his head was not in the game . Now this.

Kawakami is a bad starting pitcher. Minor or Medlen should take over his spot when Jurrjens comes back and definitely by next year. That simple.

You must not remember how Tommy Glavine pitched. Nothing he threw was over the plate or at least the white part of the plate.

KK hadn’t given up a SB in some 70 consecutive innings, until tonight. It’s not on him, its on Brian McCan’t throw.

And Chipper should have had the double down the line as well. Just too old and can’t jump any more.

That simple? Minor is having trouble against minor leaguers. KK has allowed 2 runs so far against a power hitting team. I think we overreact a lot on here

This is just classic Turner Field bad Braves baseball.

Nobody does it better.

Love the errors, mental and otherwise. Love the instantly inert offense and the all encompansing sense of dread and lifelessness.

You know, a sweep of the Brewers does not a turnaround make. Braves haven’t proven anything yet.

Maybe I’m speaking too soon as far as some are concerned but whether they’re score 10 runs or none, the fundamentals are always a problem.

It would be nice if Chipper at least could hit the ball in the air to right field.
