YO WHERE THE FUCK IS THE BRAVES TEAM THREAD YOU DICK

4/2/2007 9:57:38 AM

i actually think baseball works better by having the separate team threads, at least for the teams that really have a following on this site

and ^

4/2/2007 10:01:31 AM

I created a Cincinnati Reds thread awhile ago too...for all three of us Reds fans on TWW.

I still cant believe Pavano is pitching opening day in New York. If he gets roughed up, they'll boo him right out of the stadium.

4/2/2007 10:09:19 AM

^^ Thanks, I was looking for that one.

^^^ Yes, but this one can be used to talk about division races and stories like LaRussa's drunk driving and the whole steroid deal. Or if a Brewers pitcher throws a no-hitter or something, stuff without a team thread.

Don't forget Beat the Streak

4/2/2007 3:40:33 PM

Bonds is about to make his season debut. I hope he breaks his knee. If he stays healthy, though, I think he'll have a good year. 30+ HR

4/3/2007 4:28:43 PM

4/3/2007 4:36:48 PM

^haha i dont think they have much of a chance to win it this year

Bonds is 1/1...with a...stolen base?!?!

4/3/2007 5:03:28 PM

so is there no beat the streak tww group yet? if not i'll make one. i love that shit

4/3/2007 5:08:56 PM

I don't know if there are groups this year, I would join one. Although I woke up too late and forgot to make today's pick, not a good start.

4/3/2007 6:35:25 PM

damnit it oakland, please dont get swept by seattle to start the year.

rich harden on the hill tonight

4/4/2007 10:46:24 AM

^so how come piazza is playing DH and not C?

4/4/2007 10:53:43 AM

Might have something to do with the fact that he is and has been the worst defensive catcher in baseball his whole career

4/4/2007 10:57:52 AM

^ and cause he's like 38

4/4/2007 11:08:27 AM

Yankees Tampa Bay game postponed due to rain

adjust your lineups!

4/4/2007 12:22:29 PM

Johnny Damon was out of the lineup with a sore right calf. Robinson Cano was hitting leadoff and Melky Cabrera was in center.

“It felt like cramps the other day,” Damon said, “but this is definitely much worse than that.”

Now, before you panic, Damon tends to overplay injuries. This is a guy who played last season with a broken bone in his foot. Joe Torre sounded far more optimistic. This seems to be a day-to-day kind of thing.

4/4/2007 1:07:05 PM

^i swapped in Mag Ord for Damon when I heard about his leg although they said he expected to play

4/4/2007 1:19:52 PM

baseball-reference now updates during the season

that's awesome

4/4/2007 6:18:23 PM

this fantasy league im in is causing me to not only start paying attention to baseball all year again, but actually pay attention to more than just the twins

i havent heard of half the players in the league nowadays but it'll come

oh i didnt even know you were talking about a website but that is pretty sweet

[Edited on April 4, 2007 at 6:29 PM. Reason : .]

4/4/2007 6:28:18 PM

br is pretty much the greatest thing ever

4/4/2007 6:32:49 PM

Barry Bonds hits 735 in his first at bat tonight.

4/4/2007 10:30:05 PM

Ryan Howard really needs to be a DH. Dude has 2 errors already in 2 games and 1 inning. That's almost impossible for a first baseman..

4/5/2007 3:20:02 PM

^ he will improve with time. First base is an easy position to pick up.

"Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig extended an invitation to all clubs to allow any of its members to wear No. 42 after Cincinnati's Ken Griffey Jr. received permission to do so on the 60th anniversary of Robinson's entry into the game. "

An interesting idea to revive the old number. If they were smart, they'd auction off the jerseys for charity.
So far it's Griffey (CIN), Bonds (SF), Lee (CHC), Cameron (SD), and Young (WSH)

10/10 on the thread... did you learn something from ncsuftw1?

4/5/2007 4:00:36 PM

Reds and DBacks tied 2-2... Bottom of the 8th

Will we see Hamilton pinch hit in the Top of the 9th?

4/10/2007 12:09:39 AM

OMG!!!

yankees have lost 3 games. they MUST BE OVERPAYING!!! let's all criticize how they do business while we proceed to drink budweiser, watch a sony, and type on a dell.

4/10/2007 12:11:45 AM

The Cleveland Indians will have their home opener in Milwaukee.

hay guys lets have a long homestand in cleveland... in early april lol

4/10/2007 12:16:31 AM

Hamilton got walked. Go Reds.

4/10/2007 12:28:56 AM

Come on Oaktown!!!!!!!!1

4/14/2007 1:34:31 AM

2 more HRs for Bonds tonight...

4/14/2007 1:36:49 AM

Damnit Oakland, go ahead and put the Yanks away so I can go to sleep. Gotta work at 7am.

4/14/2007 1:39:58 AM

4/14/2007 6:42:55 AM

Todays Televised Games:
Chicago White Sox (Danks) @ Cleveland (Byrd) 1pm WGN
LA Angles (Carrasco) @ Boston (Schilling) 3:30pm FOX
Florida (Olsen) @ Atlanta (Davies) 7pm TBS

Not having MLB.tv sucks.

4/14/2007 11:05:42 AM

rivera gives up a walk-off... pretty ironic considering he wears 42 on a regular basis.

4/15/2007 6:59:46 PM

Hell yea OAKTOWN!!!!!!!!!!!

4/15/2007 7:06:08 PM

the brewers have the best record in baseball

i repeat

the brewers have the best record in baseball

5/2/2007 8:43:03 PM

end of the world then is it?

right on time. selig's master plan is complete...

5/2/2007 10:21:58 PM

I picked the brew crew to finish 1st in the NL central.

That means it probably won't happen.

5/2/2007 10:46:57 PM

I guess the World Series may finish in November this year if it goes to 7 games. MLB pushed back the game 1 date so they could get better TV ratings and thus the 7th game is scheduled in Nov.

5/15/2007 11:26:26 AM

i'm excited! just found out I'm getting box seats down the first base line for the White Sox series in Baltimore over my birthday weekend in July

5/15/2007 11:30:23 AM

somebody refresh my memory on how DH works in interleague play...if AL team is home team, they have a DH, if NL team is home team the pitcher bats? is it that simple?

5/17/2007 5:58:10 PM

yes
