  • I Can’t Believe I Watched the Whole Thing

    Actually, I didn’t. I skipped the 9th, because watching that game had felt like a chore since the 1st. So of course I managed to miss the only things worth seeing: Devy pitching and Frenchy throwing Varitek out at third. Dammit. At least the Get The Hell Out of Our City Series is over. God […]

  • Pick Up After Yourself, Frenchy

    First Andruw ends up with Frenchy’s old brain, and now, just when I was rejoicing that Frenchy finally shaved that godawful beard he was sporting for about a week, Heap has slapped Frenchy’s old beard on his own face. Heap, WHY?! You had the lumberjack stubble thing down so well, and you’ve never made the […]

  • Break Out the Free Agent Jokes: Scooter’s Gettin’ Hitched!

    I have actual stuff to do at work today, since I’m blowing this popsicle stand next week and heading home to Atlanta after three long years in Athens (it may be the birthplace of Heap, but this town is not for me), but I’m still going to take time out of my workday to post, […]

  • Youk’s Revenge

    Not much to say about that road trip except “wow, it sucked.” I mean, sucked like I didn’t even think we were capable of sucking. Not yet, not when I was just getting used to the idea of actually staying on pace with the Mets this season. I really wanted to go into this series […]

  • Pittsburgh Gossip, Mets Rap, Frenchy vs. Heap, and Some Guy Who Bought the Team

    I haven’t updated in a few days (though I have been enjoying posting at Talking Chop, where my secret identity has already been revealed), so there is a lot to cover. I’ll get right down to it: –Thanks to Leah for letting me know that LaRoche’s fan club had some adventures in Pittsburgh with the […]

  • “The Always Ornery Maddux”

    Looks like this series against the Padres going to be a pretty exciting one for the Braves: Lerew will have his first major league start today, and Maddux goes up against Smoltz tomorrow. Last night’s game was exciting in its own way, though our offense was sleepwalking and Chuckie’s pitch-count crisis continued. But anytime there’s […]

  • “Stuff-Wise”

    Now that we’re back in second place, let’s check out the explanations for our loss to the Dodgers last night: Huddy, you’re up first: “I felt like I went out there and pitched as good as I could tonight with the kind of stuff that I had. But Derek came out there and he was […]

  • Traumatic Game, But:

    Someone has got to please please please make me a video of Heap’s reaction to Frenchy’s catch. That sucker is going right into the Heap & Frenchy’s All Time Greatest Hits library. Which is basically my hard drive. I could just kiss whoever decided to include that in the broadcast, I swear. Otherwise, shit. Time […]

  • Spare Ribs For Frenchy

    Pretty enjoyable game last night, despite the tense ninth inning. Interesting how Wicky knew he didn’t have his stuff, looked into the dugout and swiped a hand across his neck like a signal that he needed to come out. At least he’s conscious of it, I guess. Why did the trainer run out to Chuckie […]

  • Smoltzy’s Here to Stay

    The news that Smoltz signed a contract extension is not exactly surprising, but it’s definitely a comfort. I really admire him for staying with one team throughout his entire career, and I admire the Braves for being the type of organization that makes players want to stay. I hope it starts happening more often. Smoltzy’s […]
