Time Lapse Video

Click the photo above to see a really cool time lapse video of a double-header between the Braves & Marlins last season. Big ups to those photogs.

Ok, so I'm easily entertained. Don't judge!

Immelman Wins Masters

How cute is HE?! Dayum!



South African (and total babe!) Trevor Immelman, 28, slips into his green jacket after his first Masters win at Augusta National on Sunday.

He finished at 8 under to take home the coveted prize. Poor, poor Tiger Woods finished 3 shots behind Immelman at 5 under and failed to win his 5th green jacket.

All together now: "Awwwwwww".

Whatever.

Back to the hottie....

It's sad that although Immelman won the 2008 Masters Tournament, Tiger will get more press because he *didn't* win.

Notice in the headline story on espn.com, Tiger's name still appears 6 paragraphs ABOVE Immelman's. Nice goin', Wojciechowski!

Now if we could just get Mr. Immelman out of that jacket.......yummmmm

Hamstring Knocked Out Glavine

It was a strained right hamstring that sent Tom Glavine to the showers before he ever even recorded an out in the first inning at Washington's National Park Sunday afternoon.

The former-now-current Atlanta Braves starter has never visited the disabled list -- never, not even once KISSED the DL -- in his long, fabulous, Cy Young award winning, 21-year career. In this day & age, that in itself, is i-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-e.

The Braves will wait a few days before they make the decision to sideline the southpaw pee paw.

The Braves went on to lose 5-4 to the Nats, who ended a 9-game skid. My Bravos are now 5-7 and 2 games out.....

Braves Release Spiezio

The Atlanta Braves released Scott Spiezio yesterday after he arrived at the AAA Richmond Braves game "unprepared to play".

"We had an agreement with Scott," Braves GM Frank Wren said. "There were three things we asked him to do: No. 1 is to continue his aftercare, which included testing, No. 2, that he attend AA [meetings] and No. 3 he would show up at the park every day ready to play. And yesterday he was not ready to play."

HUH?!?! I need more information about this!!

Unprepared to play? Did he forget his glove? Was he wearin' a tutu? Did he have a broken limb? Was he high? Drunk? I need details, people!!!

For Scott's sake, I hope he continues to get the off-field help he needs. Get well!

(But because I'm a nosey bitch, I still wanna hear the whole story......)



That's one tacky ass tattoo right there! That ho is all kinds of busted in the face. I'll let you decide which one I'm talkin' about.

Glavine Leaves Game After 16 Pitches

Tom Glavine was escorted off the field by trainer Jeff Porter Sunday afternoon in D.C. Maybe he tweaked his back or his hip....unknown if it's serious, if he'll miss any time, etc.


He was probably embarrassed that after 16 pitches, the bases were loaded with 1 out and the Nats had already pushed one across. Oh, and Yuniel Escobar misplayed a ball to allow runners to advance. Ugly.


I hope Tommy Boy's alright. Our starters have looked pretty damn good so far this season (combined ERA of the entire pitching staff -- including our ever so shaky bullpen -- is 3.97.....not shabby). I'd hate to see TG put on the shelf at his "advanced age".

Story developing......


I'll keep watchin' the game for an update on his condition and, lemme tell ya, it's quite a sacrifice on my part. The game's bein' televised on MASN (the Nats' home station) which means I have to listed to Don Sutton's annoying, white-curly-poodle-headed, know-it-all ass!! I can't freakin' STAND him! He bugged the shit outta me when he was on TBS, and I rejoiced when he left. Now he's haunting me when the Braves are on the road! Ugh!

Another Idiot In The Braves Organization

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Kick his ass to the curb, it is a must!

Ooh, ooh! Or how 'bout:

Roses are red, violets are blue
How many criminals can one team keep on its payroll?

Ok, enough with that mess.

The idiot in question here is 21-year-old Braves prospect Jordan Schafer. He tested positive for human growth hormone (HGH) and has been suspended for 50 games by the office of the commish, Bud Selig.




What a fuckin' dickhead! Here's this kid with every opportunity in the world, playin' for an organization in which other youngsters would *kill* to play, and he goes & fucks himself by purposely, KNOWINGLY usin' steroids.

This shit just pisses me off. Wonder *how* Schafer managed to move from No. 27 in the Braves ranks to No. 1...? Hmmm, lemme think.

And when MLB lets him back in the hallowed halls (cuz you know it will...), what message does that send to fans (and children)?!

I don't want his lyin', cheatin', stank ass on my team!

It's time this sport -- the greatest sport on earth -- gets some big fuckin' balls and says "Enough's enough!" already.

Pisses. Me. Off.

Turbo Tax & Ping Pong Balls

Holy crap! This is awesome!

Pro skateboarder Billy Marks appears in this youtube video tossin', bouncin' & ricochetin' ping pong balls into red beer cups (c'mon, you know that's what those cups are for!) and it ROX!



Who gives 2 shits about Turbo Tax?! I wasn't even listening to that part -- it's all about the ballz, baby!

Braves Win 2 In A Row

Against the New York Mets no less...

My Braves won 3-1.



I was totally geeked about the John Smoltz/Johan Santana match-up, this being the first start for John since coming off the DL. I couldn't have asked for more from the almost-41-year-old veteran!

He only pitched 5 innings, but struck out 6 and allowed only 2 hits. He also walked 2.

Johan threw 7 innings, gave up 7 hits and 1 earned run.

Since JS only pitched 5 innings, it left the onus on the bullpen to hold the lead. As in seasons past, I've done my fair share of cursing the Braves relief pitching, but today I shall rejoice.

I'm sure tomorrow I'll return to my potty-mouth ways when the bullpen is unleashed, but for now, I'll enjoy the love I feel for Blaine Boyer, Will Ohman, Pete Moylan & Rafael Soriano.

Although, I must say this: GET YER HEAD OUTTA YER ASS, SORIANO! YER MAKIN' ME NERVOUS!!!!

Ok, I feel better.

Now, it's off to Colorado for a 4-game set against the Rockies. Scheduled starters for those 4 games will be Tom Glavine, Jair Jurrjens, Chuck James & Tim Hudson, respectively.

Go Braves!!!!!

Smoltz vs. Santana

OMG! I'm SO fired up to see this game! Match-up of the season! (Well, *my* season anyway).


More to come......game's gettin' underway as I type!

He's Overjoyed...You Can Tell, Right??

AWK-WARD!

In the finale of Bravo's Make Me a Supermodel last night, the models received visits from loved-ones after 3 months of being apart.

Ben's wifey, April, was the first to show up at the apartment and Ben looked (and acted) like he'd rather be takin' a dump than sittin' around with her!

WTF?! You haven't seen this woman in 12 (TWELVE!) weeks, dude!!



Maybe he really is secretly in love with Ronnie. Maybe hangin' out with his sobby, weepy spouse made him realize that he has no interest in dealin' with the complexities of the fairer sex.

At least BRONNIE would never have to overcome PMS or pregnancy hormones in their romanticalness.

Amanda, Perry's ex?-girlfriend, showed up, much to his surprise. He wanted to talk thru some thangs but homegirl wasn't havin' it. She bawled & hugged & "I love you"d & kissed & tap-danced around his questions like she was afraid of divulgin' too much info in front of the cameras. Didn't wanna come off lookin' like a skank.

Girlfriend, PLEEZ!

You know you love the spotlight! If you didn't, you wouldn't've been photographed with Adnoid Ghaleeeeeeeeeeb!

Btw, cute little Holly won:
