7/7 Braves (Harrell) @ Cubs (Hammel) - 7:05 pm ABC7

[ConstableRabbit]

This zone is all over the place.

[Laura]

Veins in my forehead starting to throb

 

sounds like they're hungry

 

Seems inevitable

[Sammys Boombox]

why the [expletive] are we letting this irrelevant team get into our heads

 

Are we? They're acting like fools. We're not. As usual.

[UMFan83]

Is there anyone in the pen you trust right now? Travis Wood?

[Tim]

Rondon. Strop.

[Sammy Sofa]

The walkoff dong tonight is going to be so cathartic.

[treebird]

Markakis had 2 HR in 363 PA's coming into the game and 5 in 1049 the last two seasons.

 

I was just looking at his numbers; what the [expletive] happened to his power? Not that he was a big donger, but he was good for about 15 or so for his career until he got to Atlanta last year.

 

Neck surgery

 

pretty charitable way to describe going to the human centipede doctor

Neck surgery

 

It was a transplant to La Stella, wasn't it?

[17 Seconds]

why the horsefeathers do you just let him take second

[Sammys Boombox]

Bryant is out? Missed that. Really sucks with him due up 4th.

[Ski]

Apparently getting an easy win against the Braves is too much to ask?

[Brian]

i was going to go heroin to the forehead if AJ came up

[NotSoSober]

I'm just tuning in after watching tonights UFC. Why is Bryant out of the game?

[TMan92]

Nice clean 30 pitch inning.

[treebird]

please javy. somehow. it's the only way.

Right now, I'm fairly sure there's a tee ball team somewhere that'd keep it close.

[UMFan83]

Rondon. Strop.

 

While they are both very good relievers right now I don't trust them when they are in the game. That could change a week from now.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

why the [expletive] do you just let him take second

 

It's interesting. They have done that two or three other times this season in the same exact type situation. I find it weird.

[Liam Neeson]

Seriously someone find Fred

[UMFan83]

Please just walk off. The last thing a team that has lost 12 of their last 17 games needs is a demoralizing loss.

[soccer10k]

I want Javy to hit one 500 feet and stare at Francour the entire time.

[treebird]

nice pathetic at bat jeimer please return to minors

[Brian]

go back to your roots Javy

Baez stood at home plate for a couple of seconds after absolutely walloping the gopher ball 400+ feet and off the roof of a house on the north side of 8th Street (Baez did the exact same thing on Tuesday when he launched a three-run homer over the LF fence at Indian School Park in Scottsdale), at which point one of the Angel coaches yelled, "Run the bases!"

 

Baez initially took the "advice" and he did run the bases (albeit a bit of a "Cadillac" trot that probably further irritated the opposition), but upon reaching home plate Baez stopped and yelled back at the Angel bench, "I can do whatever the horsefeathers I want!"

 

Trey Martin and Gioskar Amaya (who were on base in front of Baez) and on-deck hitter Rock Shoulders pulled Baez back to the Cubs bench, avoiding a potential bench-clearing brawl on the field...

 

... or not

Javy definitely doesn't know Francoeur's name
