Better Late than Never.....

 

No outs, bottom of the 1st and its 4-2 Phils. Ortiz struggled in the top of the first but Millwood has struggled as well.....

This may be the first time I've ever wanted the braves to win.

Sheff grounds out for out number 1 as I sign up for some free MLB-TV

 

Chipper starts out 0-2, but draws the count full.....Good at bat, Chipper walks

 

Jones version 2.0 (Andruw) up now.....He fouls out on a 2-2 count

 

Javy Lopez flies out on pitch #1 to center, Chipper is stranded at first

 

Sorry guys dinner time.....I'll bring more updates later on

ahhh, free MLB TV. I too will sign up and scam free SI's

Still 4-2 after the end of the top of the second

Robert Fick batting to lead off the bottom of the second for the Braves.....he send the third pitch of the at bat to center for a base hit

 

Up walks Vinny Castilla, fouling the first one off.....good battle here between Vinny and Millwood.....and he loses by grounding into a 6-4-3 rally killer :thumbdown

 

Two outs for Russ Ortiz.....3-0 count wow.....count goes full.....and he K's like a bum

:happybday

Top of the third now.....and Lieby gets hit with a pitch

 

1 on for Ricky Leedee with no outs.....And he K's

 

Up walks Tomas Perez.....Fielder's choice, so Lieby is out at second

 

2 away and a man on first for Utley.....3-1 count.....He flies out to left to end the inning.....

 

Top of the order going to come up for the Braves next inning

:happybday

Have you lost your mind?

GO PHILLIES!!! :arms

Sorry guys... but you all know I lurk here... I just had to throw some support my team's way.

 

Best of Luck to you! (But not too much luck.... :whistle )

Damn that Leiberthal! How are they winning against the Braves. Russ Ortiz has been lights out but not tonight. Come on Braves you can do it....

OK Furcal leading off for the Bravos here in the bottom of the first.....count runs full.....And in a great drama at bat, Furcal grounds out to his own position

 

Home run king Mark DeRosa up to take some hacks now, he is 1 for 1 with a blast and two RBIs.....Not to be outdone by Furcal, he grounds out to his position with a faster rolling ground ball.....2 outs

 

Will Gary continue the trend?.....Its not very easy to ground out to RF, but it is possible.....Infield single for Sheff ( :lol )

 

Chipper up now with two outs as the tying run in this game.....Millwood has thrown 53 pitches so far, hopefully he'll get tagged for a couple more before the committee comes in .....and here comes that tagging, Chipper comes through with a double to score Sheff and put the Bravos within 1 run.....

 

Up walks that other guy named Jones, with a man in scoring position in two outs.....staying true to Braves form he grounds out.

 

Hey, they got one :thumbup

Damn that Leiberthal! How are they winning against the Braves. Russ Ortiz has been lights out but not tonight. Come on Braves you can do it....

i wouldnt say lights out....

 

he has pitched well....

Millwood leading off for the Phils in the top of the fourth.....Ortiz now up to 70 pitches as the count is 2-2.....Ortiz gets Millwood in a Kodak Moment, one away

 

Marlon Byrd now up with 1 away to bring back the top of the order for the Phils.....Another 2-2 count.....Byrd K's swinging to add some spice to the fan totals.....

 

Jimmy Rollins with 2 away will step in.....Rollins flies out to get them 1-2-3.....

Listens on little blue Emerson Radio on WSB 750 am. Turns radio to WRFX-940 to listen to Monday Night Football.

TIE GAME

 

4-4

Leading off for ATL is Javy Lopez, hes sporting a nice 0 for 1 day so far.....not to buck his trend, he flies out for the first out.....

 

Up walks the mighty Robert Fick.....He had an amazing moonshot of a single his first at bat.....the mighty Robert Fick does it again! Single! Wooooo!.....

 

As I calm down, up walks Vinny Castilla.....3-0 count, this is promising.....naturally strike 1 on the next pitch.....Vinny walks, 2 men on now.....

 

Russ Ortiz up now in a pretty obvious bunting situation.....And theres the sacrifice, men on second and third now with 2 away.....

 

Furcal now with 2 away and 2 men in scoring position.....0-2 count

I think it's safe to say that sending Castilla was a mistake.

I think it's safe to say that sending Castilla was a mistake.

lol, what were they thinking Castilla is one of the slowest guys in the league he was out by a mile.

Castilla was out by nearly 2 miles.

Damn!!!

Yes! The braves are caught up. I wonder how is Admin Bowa doing now. He must be soo pissed.

Not even JP runs that one down...Andruw Jones is unreal...

Up walks Bob Abreu to start the 5th for the Phils.....I hope the Braves have someone warming, because Ortiz's pitch count is getting up there.....he starts Abreu off 3-0.....And he lost him.....

 

Here comes Jim Thome now.....Ortiz remembers how to throw a strike, 0-1.....I'm getting sick of 2-2 counts to Phils hitters.....Thome flies out, Abreu holds at first.....

 

1 Out for Lieby.....Don't know what the hold up was, but finally a pitch to Lieby (a ball).....3 straight balls :confused .....Captain Obvious says strike next pitch, and once again he is right.....count runs full now.....Lieby flies out, two away

 

And here comes Ricky Leedee.....now let me just say, in the most heterosexual way possibly: Ricky is one ugly mofo.....do the phils have a deformed ppl collection? There's ricky here, hourglass face.....Ugyliness flies out, inning over.
