oh yeah, we've also never had a prospect like heyward, either.

Mark Prior was pretty big.

 

and he got hit on the elbow with a line drive, his pitching elbow, just when he looked like he was putting it together.

 

his [expletive] pitching elbow

I'm aware, but he wasn't a prospect then. I just meant we had a stud of that caliber. Hell Wood was pretty big as well.

 

well, if something both terrible and freakishly rare happens to heyward, i'll admit that fate doesn't have a penis, unlike voltron.

You lucky bastage. You know voltron's gonna rake in the girls.

Dusty killed him and he was probably going to be done within months regardless.

 

He began having arm problems that spring, before the line drive off the elbow.

 

Not to mention sending him back out there after the line drive...

The real kicker is say we had drafted Strasberg, anyone think we wouldn't have broke this one as well?

[NotSoSober]

this game has also brought together the ghetto-version of cubs voltron, with erik, bum and aramis fan teaming up, which is pretty epic in it's own right

 

hey, they came to my defense when some freak suggested i kill myself, which was cool.

 

maybe you can be ghetto voltron's weiner

 

maybe i will be, and then me and my new friends will baby-seal the [expletive] out of you.

:-))

[Hairyducked Idiot]

And while we were doing it, when he came back out for another inning with 115 pitches already thrown, in a 10-run game, many fans would still be defending the decision.

dusty overworked him, but he got hit on his pitching elbow with a [expletive] line drive while he was pitching well.

 

oh yeah, and he also got tackled and thrown on his shoulder once, too. and alex gonzalez (the alex gonzalez that led the league in fielding percentage) boots a double play behind him after some weirdo goes down in cub lore in game 6 of the nlcs.

 

if you don't think weird things happen to this team all of the time you aren't watching, ever.

Perfect mechanics

I didn't dispute the 'weird [expletive] happens to the Cubs' thing. I just think Mark Prior being run into the ground was relatively speaking on the low end of the weird scale.

This should be a entertaining AB by Soriano...

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I hope Soriano homers here and does some sort of wrestling move to celebrate.

[Omar]

why do we treat a baseball loss like a football loss?

[Magnetic Curses]

why would you throw a fastball to soriano?

 

and now he can't even hit one of those.

[Schwarber Fan]

ZOMG Wagner's back!!!! Buy your Braves WS tix now!

[TruffleShuffle]

is soriano's contract up soon?

[NotSoSober]

God damn, Soriano is terrible. How old does he claim to be? He's gotta be 10 years older than whatever it is.

[illiniguy]

is soriano's contract up soon?

I love the no trade clause, like that's gonna be an issue.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

is soriano's contract up soon?

 

Yes. Also, we won the 2003 NLCS and our team isn't named after the baby version of an animal.

[Magnetic Curses]

what will be forgotten is the terrible call, which the braves players are laughing about right now.

Racey McRacist.

He can DDT the umpire that missed the call on the McLouth "catch"

[Omar]

is soriano's contract up soon?

 

are the next winter olympics soon?

[illiniguy]

is soriano's contract up soon?

 

Yes. Also, we won the 2003 NLCS and our team isn't named after the baby version of an animal.

We win the series then after that?

[NotSoSober]

He'll be getting the Milton Bradley treatment this year, so I wouldn't be shocked if he waived it

[Hairyducked Idiot]

If it were cricket, McLouth would have been expected to tell the umpires he dropped it or face a stiff fine.

 

Cricket > baseball
