Gamethread: Cardinals @ Barves - 9/12/10

[Hobbes]

Top of the first, and Pujols just hit a homer to dead-center. 1-0 Cards.

[alaskabravesfan]

Is it just you and me listening tonight, Hobbes?

Is it just you and me listening tonight, Hobbes?

I would be watching this game, but I'm blacked out due to ESPN having the rights to the game. The whole thing is stupid... because I get all of my TV over the internet. I thought I might try viewing the game through espn3.com, but that's a no go as well since ESPN sells its internet broadcast to "ISP affiliates" and won't show their broadcast to anyone who uses some other ISP.

Absurd beyond absurd. The cost of bandwidth is a joke.

So, nope, not getting to watch the game... this MLB.tv subscriber is out in the cold.

[alaskabravesfan]

That's lame. Can you at least listen in on MLB.com Gameday Audio?

Yes, it's blacked out on MLB.TV, but it's on ESPN. I gather you don't have ESPN?

[IkeWagner]

Three consecutive two out singles adds another run...2-0 Cardinals.

[IkeWagner]

A 2-out double by Heyward, followed by a Prado single, puts the Braves on the board...2-1.

[Hobbes]

Prado brings home Heyward!

[IkeWagner]

Mac with a single....first and third for Lee.

[IkeWagner]

Damn, Lee strikes out.

[Hobbes]

Lee strikes out swinging at garbage.

[OptimusPrime]

No, I don't have ESPN.

Yes, I could listen to the game, but I'm not interested in listening. I'm following on gamecast while playing a video game. :p

[IkeWagner]

With two doubles in his first two ABs, Heyward continues to bolster his ROY candidacy. Kid is cash money right now.

[KB 34]

Heyward went from likely but not guaranteed to make the team to best batter in 9 months, incredible.

[Hobbes]

McLouth put a charge into that ball, but it is caught at the wall by Rasmus.

[MississippiBrave91]

Come on melky

[Hobbes]

Hudson does the same.

[AhbBrave]

does McLouth keep getting robbed or what? I would have liked to see Freeman start today but i suppose that would have messed up The L/R/L of the lineup. Good to see Heyward hitting well, sucks that Hudson has already thrown 75 pitches. And im starting to hate Rasmus more and more

[Hobbes]

Pujols crushes another one.

[IkeWagner]

Too cruel.

[AhbBrave]

Pujols crushes another one.

Starting to hate Pujols more and more...

[MississippiBrave91]

I tell ya, that Pujols guy is something else...

[alaskabravesfan]

Even when he doesn't have a very good night, Tim Hudson seems to hold it all together. That's the mark of a true ace, IMHO.

[Hobbes]

Craptastic. 6-1 Cards.

[IkeWagner]

That's nice...

I'm thinking you didn't knock wood after that statement.

[alaskabravesfan]

Sorry for the jinx. :banghead:

[AhbBrave]

Sorry for the jinx. :banghead:

I hate that i acted on impulse during this inning.. Now my throat hurts from screaming and my fist hurts from hitting whatever was next to me ( dont fret im home alone so nobody was harmed)

[MississippiBrave91]

:no:

[IkeWagner]

Phillies and Giants both won today....and why are the Braves intentionally walking Molina when it's 7-1?

No clue but it worked.

That almost always backfires with Bobby but he keeps doing it anyway.

[-Dr. Brave-]

I guess everyone else switched over to football too.

Cards won 7-3.
