Jason Schmidt (1-1, 7.88) vs. Tommy Hanson (5-1, 2.95).
COMMENTS: Talk about a study in contrasts. Today the Dodgers start a once overpowering pitcher ending his career as a overpaid paperweight, and the Braves start a 22-year-old hotshot rookie with a plus-fastball and his entire career ahead of him. Do you like where this is going? I do not.
Atlanta, third place in the NL East with a 52-50 record, is 10-11 against NL West teams this season. Today would be a wonderful day to witness the Dodger bats thaw further, as we would hate to continue "all the weeping, moaning and teeth-gnashing about the weak offense of a team that's [24] games over .500," as my Mets fan friend puts it.
(100SS. Game 4. Right here.)

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 327 of 327First try: -40. Nuts.
Not even trying this time.
Back-to-back K's!?!?!!!
Will we see Flat Breezy tonight?
Hanson at 85 pitches.
"Always the tone of surprise"
And the Reds tie it up. Nice.
O-Dog funnin' the home plate ump!
Hilarious!
O needs to spend more time in the box and less time trying to predict during the pitch that the ball will be called a ball. He's started doing this a lot lately.
Hanson is done! Schmidt is done! Beast Mode is up!
Although bunting in that situation is arguable, Pierre did a good job of it there.
Furcal RBI! 4-0 Dodgers!
Huh. I'm glad he laid down the bunt, but why burn a pinch hitter to do what the pitcher can do.
A RUN!
Pile it on!!! Screw a tomahawk chop!
Ethier usually hits HR in bunches. Come on, Dre!
Lyons tried to say "quality" and "caliber" at the same time and came up with "qualiber."
Hudson's a guy I trust not to get thrown out at home. No need to wave in guys like Beard or Manny.
Totally agree Josh.
Manny vs Manny
Manno a Manno!
Maybe Manny just needs a haircut. I mean, that shit is getting long.
Too manny guys with the same name
Maybe he is the anti-Sampson
Maybe the David Ortiz news really affected him.
Hey, EK.
Tron = 7th
Sherrill = 8th
Broxton = 9th
What's up, Orel
Epale, Eric!
I think Manny's problem is partly in his hand and partly in his head.
I see you got 200. Well done.
Training Day is on TV again, at the same scene as last time I was on the GT.
That was a cheapie. Guess the Braves were due.
Howdy Karina!
This thread is like Groundhog Day now.
Who had 52 before Sherrill? Someone recent...Vargas?
The scene still stresses me out even though I just saw it 2 days ago
Sherrill sighting. He's warming up. Can confirm that his hat is indeed Flat Breezy.
Hope we see him (but not b/c Trancoso has sucked).
Man, what's up with Tron lately?
Um, sorry to be an accidental Nostradamus.
To answer my own question: JMac was #52. He is now #31.
Welcome Flat Breezy, can you get us out of the jam?
He's kinda Fat Breezy.
Long time we don't hear of Nostradamus. He could be useful for the hundreds game.
This is an odd delivery.
No pressure, Sherrill.
Gets McLouth!
Back-to-back Ks!
Here's the big test: Larry.
Rox now up 5-3
The WP is like a rite of passage for new Dodger pitchers.
RA for the Braves.
Can't take a weekend of the tomahawk chop.
Just think how bad it would be if we were losing.
GOT HIM!!!!!!
He's got a breaking pitch too!
sweet
Collins: "Dodgers live to fight another day!"
Huh???
Karina, I haven't heard from Nostradamus lately either. He doesn't answer my texts.
OK, good trade!
The Brim Reaper strikes again.
I wish this game were on TBS
Maybe he feels the Dodgers are dominating, their fans don't need any of his insight.
What are we going to tell Dusto when he says King James sucks?
BISP
Bison In Scoring Position
@EK "I wish this game were on TBS"
I'm surprised it isn't.
Bison double!
Another good scene on Training Day. Ethan Hawke busts in on Denzel and Eva Mendes.
I used to know I could catch the game on TV when they played the Braves, Cubs, or Mets. No longer so with the Braves.
Is it on TNT?
Orel - no, but 'Lara Croft: The Cradle of Life' is
Cool! "Casey Blake: In My Own Beard" premieres next Wednesday!
TBS phased out their Braves broadcasts a few years ago
I was waiting for a Blake "Before the Stubble" episode.
Will Beard be wearing the same outfits as Angelina Jolie?
Anyone know why Matt Diaz pronounces it DYE-az?
JMac gets 3rd out as Hawke gets his ass kicked on Denzel's porch.
The show isn't about Sarah Jessica Parker, is it?
He's hardcore.
Diaz, that is.
I gotta say, the George Sherrill Era is off to a good start. I wonder who pitches the ninth.
That's the J-Mac we want to see. Awesome!
I don't know why he pronounces it DYE-az, but I bet he also likes to use the term "byotch"
All the bats are perking up...except Manny's.
To be fair, Manny had a single today.
@Eric: "JMac gets 3rd out as Hawke gets his ass kicked on Denzel's porch."
Lovely.
Ok fellas, it's been fun but I gotta run...
Andre go boom! 5-0 Dodgers!
Gellas and ladies, that is. Hope Dodgers close it out. Good night!
66 RBI!
He homered, really? Gameday hasn't registered it yet.
I wanna see JMac drill one.
Oh, he doubled, not homered.
Sorry, Ethier had an RBI-double.
See you sooner than later, Eric ;)
bye karina et al!
yeah
300
Speaking of movies, 300 is a good one too.
SWEET
damn! My first miss, but I don't think I'm in penalty-zone
It's funny how only the Sons are playing 100SS now.
Kuroda's brim is at least as flat and breezy as Sherrill's.
Orel you are on fire.
I do believe you are in the penalty zone, EK.
Apparently Sherrill has a whole host of nicknames.
Besides Flat Breezy, what else?
How many comments too far is penalty zone?
I didn't even notice it was close to 300. Looks like my -40 might get me into the top 10, though.
Bison grab!
Countryman Martin Prado, crush him J-Mac
I might have to switch my Gold Glove prediction from Loney to Kemp.
Bison with another great catch! I want a DVD of all the great Bison catches of the season.
@EK "How many comments too far is penalty zone?"
The further your claim is from the actual hundreds comment, the more points you lose.
You're right, I was in penalty zone. Fortunately I wasn't playing 100ss with my comment, I was just talking about movies. Phew!
Wikipedia:
"...also known as 'The Brim Reaper', 'Flat Breezy', and 'Duckbill' (all due to the fact that he keeps the brim of his hat very flat while he plays)"
Gewinnt!
Game ends in the allotted TV time. Wow!
25 games over .500
Great way to start my weekend. I even forgot for awhile that we did not get Washburn, Halladay, AGon, or Bell.
I have to eat dinner now, so the PGT will be delayed. Feel free to 100SS amongst yourselves.
There's a Wiki entry for that? What the hell do people do all day with their time?
Next you'll tell me they sit around all day posting on blogs about phantom baseball trades.
Ok, Training Day just ended but now they're showing it again. AMC must be cutting costs.
Good game!
It's a Dodgers win! who wants to play 100s?
Much like Joe Mauer, I don't think we're getting anywhere near 400, Karina...
Not me!
So, no more 100s tonight. Just wanted to hang around while my friend picks me up.
Night everyone!
I'm not doing the Post-Game Thread, but since it's in process, this Game Thread is officially locked for 100SS.
Post-Game Thread is up!
