Los Bravos: They're Not Saying Boo, CF "El Museo", SS Big MF, RF Larry, 3B Baby Ruuuuuuth, 1B Wind Machine, 2B Don't Call Me Thom, C Art Vandelay, LF Scooby Gang, P Los Not-Bravos: Mr. Whitestone, RF Irish Hammer, 2B Pantalones de Azucar, 3B Ike, 1B Boo Radley Minus The Slugging, LF Can I See Some ID, SS No, Seriously, Can I See Some ID, CF EZ Pass, C Chick-Fil-Yay, P IN MEDIA RES: The Hef danced around a leadoff Bourn double without letting Brave feet reach hallowed molded-rubber ground. Not so in the second, thanks to some bleeders and bunts and bank shots... 1-0, People of Atlanta. No Cooby Kid sightings as yet. But hey, whaddayaknow? GUYS! on Fox!

Burkhardt describes Medlen-- apparently sincerely-- as a "human energy drink." I'm not sure I've ever heard that before without it being a backhanded compliment. Anyway, Med Bull is through two without a run.

In-game with Readily Available to open the top of the 3rd. And speaking of available... plenty of good seats sunning themselves all around the park. PLENTY.

"I'm happy to be having a great year. And, be sure to buy my new book!"

The worst part is, if he wins anything this year, he won't know to thank you. An iffy route by 'Spin in center gifts Heyward a double. A dinky single to right by Freeman gifts him a run. 2-0, Yahoos.

Perhaps Hefner should've eeten mor pre-game chikin; McCann sends a hanger to the gap faster than it came in, and we're at 4-0... and Medlen knocks it over our erstwhile centerfielder to knock McCann in.

Do you suppose this offense could make up a 5-run deficit to Kris Medlen given seven GAMES rather than innings?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 08 2012 03:22 PM Re: IGT, 9/8/12: Medlen in my business

Hey! Nominal offense!

duan Sep 08 2012 03:24 PM Re: IGT, 9/8/12: Medlen in my business

having seen what came into dc earlier i think a rainout's a distinct possibility.

duan Sep 08 2012 03:32 PM Re: IGT, 9/8/12: Medlen in my business

needs to arrive damn soon though.

Frayed Knot Sep 08 2012 03:34 PM Re: IGT, 9/8/12: Medlen in my business

Good thing that Uggla & McCann are in slumps or else we'd really be in trouble here.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 08 2012 03:36 PM Re: IGT, 9/8/12: Medlen in my business

Hey! More than nominal offense!

duan Sep 08 2012 03:37 PM Re: IGT, 9/8/12: Medlen in my business

seriously they should be having as many conversations as possible. also, if they wanted to a hit batter here might instigate a kerfuffle which'd give the rain long enough to arrive.

duan Sep 08 2012 03:37 PM Re: IGT, 9/8/12: Medlen in my business

oooh, Murph, an error is a great way to keep the braves on the field for a few minutes more.

The Nats/Fish were heading into the bottom of the 9th with the Marlins up by 1 ... and now it's been delayed for what must be two hours by this point. I believe Heath Bell had already warmed up to come in, but now has been sitting all this time.

Frayed Knot Sep 08 2012 03:47 PM Re: IGT, 9/8/12: Medlen in my business

Cedeno obviously didn't get the 'Soft Grounders Only' memo. I wonder if they'll fine him for that?

Frayed Knot Sep 08 2012 03:52 PM Re: IGT, 9/8/12: Medlen in my business

Has Thole blocked a ball with his chest protector yet this year?

He ran left, the ball was going right. lol. I don't think I've ever seen a camera angle showing a worse misjudgement on a play as that one did there. I had to laugh. It was funny. Was hoping for a washout too. Now it counts, so, yea, it'll probably start pouring any minute.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 08 2012 04:02 PM Re: IGT, 9/8/12: Medlen in my business

Well, it's a washout of sorts.

Zvon Sep 08 2012 04:04 PM Re: IGT, 9/8/12: Medlen in my business

Well, it's a washout of sorts. lol Note to self: Be more specific as to what kind of washout I wish for.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 08 2012 04:07 PM Re: IGT, 9/8/12: Medlen in my business

With plenty of Metly help, Medlen Dew is through 6 on 80 pitches... and there go the tarps.

Zvon Sep 08 2012 04:09 PM Re: IGT, 9/8/12: Medlen in my business

Why even call it a rain delay? GAME OVER MAAAAAAN! GAME OVER!

Zvon Sep 08 2012 04:34 PM Re: IGT, 9/8/12: Medlen in my business

Asked what he would think about Chipper Jones if he were a Mets fan, he smiled and said: "I would respect the body of work, but I would hate his guts." T-minus one day til take off.

MFS62 Sep 09 2012 07:59 AM Re: IGT, 9/8/12: Medlen in my business

Exactly, respect and hate. It I were Terry today, I'd start the hardest throwing rookie they have, and tell the kid to give Chipper a cup ckeck. Just for old times sake. Later
