[-Dr. Brave-]

The tarp's coming off the field... looks like they're going to play.

Braves lineup:
McLouth CF
Prado 3B
Anderson LF
McCann C
Escobar SS
LaRoche 1B
Infante 2B
Church RF
Lowe P

Chance that Moylan pitches tonight: 70%

Geaux Braves!

[Hobbes]

I hate wasted opportunities.

[Lauren T.]

Lowe out after the 2nd with a blister on his ring finger. Bottom 4, 4-3 Braves. When he left, it was 3-0 Mets, so that's a pretty good comeback behind Medlen!

[-Dr. Brave-]

Braves down 5-4 heading to the bottom of the 8th.

Chipper Jones, hitting .269, pinch-hit and struck out, putting his batting average at... .269.

Chipper looks to be several days away from playing in the field.

[Middle Man]

LOL. Hahaha. Couldn't happen to a nicer team. Hahaha.

[-Dr. Brave-]

Wow... what a finish. Braves win!

Runners 1st and 2nd, 2 out, tied at 5. Groundball to Murphy, who makes two errors on the play to allow pinch-runner David Ross to score the winning run.

Great comeback win!
It's just a bit queer, but during the rain delay show with Motormouth and Lemke, a caller said the team hadn't had a big comeback win in the eighth or ninth to fire them up and give them something to rally around.....Dude needs to call George Noury!

[Lauren T.]

Hee hee, you said "queer" and "Lemke" in the same sentence. :D
