Game Thread 16: Atlanta Braves

Los Angeles Dodgers at Atlanta Braves, Apr 18, 2008 4:35 PM PDT


Contrary to previous reports, Derek Lowe will not be taking on old freind Buddy Caryle tonight, he'll be taking on someone named Jeff Bennett instead. Bennett has thrown 99 innings in his career, and in those 99 innings he's walked 39 and surrendered 16 home runs, so he doesn't qualify as a "tough righty".

Bennett seems to be doing what’s expected of him so far.

Yikes

why do you just know we’ll leave the bases loaded like that…that strike one call on loney was trash.

So frustrating.

O.A.

Still sucks

that TBS dropped Braves baseball. Not a Braves fan obviously but that is a lot of baseball that we aren’t seeing on cable anymore.

If

you are going to hit and run, do it with a guy who knows how to make contact please, not with Jones batting

I guess that’ll work.

Did Bennett do something?

Drew a walk his first time up. Looked like he was going to do it again.

I like that your title has been truncated to:

*/game-thread-16-atlanta-bra

It’s like a Gold Club situation, except not.

Crap.

Forgot it was a West Coast game.

When you live on the East Coast, you expect all Dodger games to start at 10 PM. Anything else is confusing.

I wish you guys would all get some cool-looking avatars. I’m going to start flagging every avatar-less person as a troll until I get banned.

For

a while I thought anyone with an avatar was a moderator or someone connected with the site, I should probably fiddle around with my SB profile more

That’s cool-looking.

Well

Can we at least try to chip away at this lead off this middle relief?

O.A.

The Andruw Jones Stolen Base

The balk.

(And yes, that was a fat joke, but it was a good one! And original!)

It was, I’ll allow it.
