Nats/Braves

[Sicksers]

Braves are struggling and are due to win a series. I didn't steal that thought from GACOLB*

[D.G.A.C.O.L.B.]

What's up suckers. I'm in the house. Just woke up too. I'm a lazy *****.

Nice "originial" thought Sicksers. You're a genius.

[D.G.A.C.O.L.B.]

Belliard with the leadoff double to start the third. That ball just ate up the leftfielder.

[D.G.A.C.O.L.B.]

Nevermind. Belliard stranded at second.

[SantanaClaus89]

Who was that they were just talking about?? Is that the 1st round pick?

[D.G.A.C.O.L.B.]

That was one of the first round picks. Taken 31st overall, Josh Smoker, LHP, out of high school. The pick was compensation for Soriano leaving.

Name: Josh Smoker
Height/Weight: 6-2 / 190
Date of Birth: 11/26/88
School: Calhoun (GA)
Brewerfan.net Rank: 24

Smoker is a polished lefty that has performed very well at showcase and tournament events while playing for the esteemed East Cobb program for the past two to three years. In particular, he was named the all-tournament pitcher at the past two WWBA World Championships in Jupiter, Florida. While he is at his best carving up hitters by changing speeds and hitting his spots, his fastball has been clocked as high as 94 mph, even though he works more comfortably in the 88-91 range. He also mixes in a pretty good curveball and a developing changeup that gives him a promising three-pitch repertoire. His track record is more than proven, and scouts have had ample opportunities to see him at his best with and against some of the best players in the nation, including the Aflac All-American Classic. He has committed to play for Clemson.

Yeah I know about all that, I just flipped on the channel after they said who he was and all I heard was he may be signed soon. Thanks man

[D.G.A.C.O.L.B.]

Yeah they said he's in town to work on the contract this week.

Damn, Braves score. 1-0 Atlanta.

[Sicksers]

Bullpen not helping Bergmann at all. 3-run shut from the Braves. 4-0 Braves.

[D.G.A.C.O.L.B.]

So 1 run for the Braves in their last 5 games, and then they drop 4 in the first 6 innings tonight. I guess they were due. Good call on that nice "original" thought Sicksers.

[Sicksers]

lol @ G.A.C.O.L.B.*

He falls asleep and has ample opportunity all day to start this thread and now he's on me for speaking my own thoughts about the game and the series. Brandon Watson is gawd.

[0>23]

I wonder if they were happy to see us coming to town?

[D.G.A.C.O.L.B.]

You know damn well I mentioned to you that the Braves were due. I should be collecting checks for your throught robbery.

[D.G.A.C.O.L.B.]

The Nats are so hot and cold. We got absolutely smoked in three games by the Tigers and then we turn around and when the next series against a really good Indians team. And now tonight we're getting blanked by the Braves.

[Sicksers]

Nats are playing above what everyone thought they should play at. Thats a good thing. They have a serious shot to stay in the general vicinity of .500 on the year. Which would be amazing considering the predictions at the beginning of the season.

Nats score. 4-1 Braves.

[0>23]

As a fan though....at least we have some honest owners...they don't beat around the bush with us...we knew coming in what we had and that this year we were not going to be world beaters.

Id sure as hell rather be in our situation moving in next year to Adrian Fenty Park with a roster of some free agents and kids getting a chance to play everyday right now.

Much better than having Angelos run our team!

[D.G.A.C.O.L.B.]

My boy just got robbed. I don't think my anti-jinx avatar is working.

[D.G.A.C.O.L.B.]

Adrian Fenty Park? Hahaha.

But yeah I agree with you. I think the team, the owner, is definitely going about this the right way. The complete opposite of what we're doing it what the O's do. And look how that has worked out for them. Ha.

I just want to finish with a better record then the O's this year. That will give me some **** talking material for at least a year.

[Sicksers]

There's a real possibility the Nationals finish with a better record than the O's. The Orioles play in a much tougher division and league right now. The NL is **** compared to the AL.

[D.G.A.C.O.L.B.]

This game depressed me.

[Sicksers]

Who called it? Who ****ing called it? Told you the Braves were due.

[D.G.A.C.O.L.B.]

Thought biter.

[SantanaClaus89]

Ugh... well we'll get 'em tomorrow... Chin up.

[GOSKINS_08]

Wow, so the braves score 1 run total in 5 games combined, and score 4 tonight? Who would have thunk it?

[0>23]

Did anybody really believe the Braves would go scoreless the rest of the year? Lets be real folks, its baseball. The only reason the O's didn't lose tonight is cuz they didnt play.

Tomorrow is a road game for you guys anyways...New York is coming to town, they usually fill up 39k out of the 42 Camden holds right?

Who said the braves would go scoreless the rest of the season? Thats foolish to think that..But they havent scored a combined 4 runs in probably the last week..We'll see how many the braves score on the expos tomorrow.

Im sure there will be tons of yankees fans at Oriole park tomorrow..Sadly.

[admin]

arent the nats like 11-15 on the road? road seems to treat them better but alas.. *sigh*

[GOSKINS_08]

No posts in here tonight? The expos lost.

Hows the AL East working out for your O's right now? Only 16 games back now huh. Pretty good for 93 million.

[GOSKINS_08]

You guys dont have any domiant team in the NL East, and you're what, 15 games back?

Uhh, yeah, umm, how bout those expos huh?

[0>23]

11. 15 is you guys. But thanks for asking!

[GOSKINS_08]

11. 15 is you guys. But thanks for asking!

Yeas well lets see..The first place team in the AL East is about 20 games over .500, and the first place team in the NL East, is what, 7 games over?

[D.G.A.C.O.L.B.]

It's sad that you have to compare your O's to the Nats to feel good. That's all I got to say.

[GOSKINS_08]

You guys compare the expos to the Orioles all the time..Double standard huh?

[D.G.A.C.O.L.B.]

You guys compare the expos to the Orioles all the time..Double standard huh?

No not really. The O's are an established franchise. We're basically an expansion team. As the O's are the closest team to the Nats of course they're going to be used to measure the success of our up and coming team.

Actually there record is that good because they beat up on chumps like the Orioles all year long. At least we give the Mets a run for their money. Trust me you guys wouldn't be doing any better if you weren't in that division.

By the way the Mets are 9 games over, so if your gonna get Boston's record right for argument sake, get the Mets right too.

No, we have the yankees in our division too if you didn't remember..And we're 1-4 against the redsox this season, so its not like they're "beating" us up..You guys have the mets(good team), phillies(average team), marlins(not to good), and then the expos(not very good)

And for the record im not even sure if I got the redsox record right, I was just guessing they were 20 games over.

[0>23]

Boston - great team
Blue Jays - worse record than Phili so...um..... ill give you average/below average
Yanks - below average - have you not watched Sports Center or read a sports page all year...this ain't your daddy's Yankees
Devil Rays - ok they are just not good
Baltimore - the trash of the division

Your record is 1 1/2 games better than ours... YEah, thats alot to talk **** about. Give me a break man. Your argument lacks creativity. You are 1-4 against Boston and you think that is not beating you? ok, lets see how the other 14 games go and then we'll come back and revisit that argument.

What im saying about Boston is they've only played is 5 games..And you love to bring up payrolls, did you know that Toronto, and of course the yankees along with the redsox have bigger payrolls than us?

[Sicksers]

Time for the game. GoSkins will be in shortly after masturbating to pictures of Nick Markakis.

[Sicksers]

1-0 Braves in the bottom of the first.

[D.G.A.C.O.L.B.]

Posting from work. I'm a rebel.

Sicksers, that message about GoSkins is extremelly boderline. Watch yourself. You may be a legend, and I may agree with you, but we still have to keep this board fam friendly. I will ban you. Don't make me do it baby.

[Sicksers]

3-0 Atlanta. Go back to work GACOLB

[D.G.A.C.O.L.B.]

There's like six chicks here now and they're all jacked up and annoying as all hell. I'd still beat though.

[Sicksers]

Vague sexual references to having sex with women who play World of Warcraft? Holy crap.

[Sicksers]

4-0 Braves. Time to pull Bowie. He's shaken.

[Sicksers]

8-0 Braves. This is getting out of control.

[admin]

I think its safe to say the Atlanta Braves found their offense! Man the Nats have been like an advil after a hangover for those guys. Oh well, go get em tomorrow.

[GOSKINS_08]

Wow 13 runs for the braves? Thats about all they scored in the whole month of June, until this series of course.
