Game Thread in Exile: May 20, Braves at D-Backs

Let's see... Travis "The Human Pitching Machine" Smith, versus Brandon Webb, looking to go 7-0. Sounds unpleasant.

126 Comments:

At 5:39 PM , Stu said...: At least the Mets had a loss today that's more demoralizing than ours last night. And at least our ineffective closer doesn't cost 10 million dollars.
At 5:42 PM , Mike H. said...: All I can say about that game this afernoon (besides "Huzzah!") is: Mets fans...Welcome to our world.
At 6:00 PM , Miranda said...: haha... agreed Stu!

Hopefully all goes well tonight!
At 7:39 PM , jenny said...: Phillies had a 1-0 lead, in the process of imploding thanks to massively crappy defense by Jimmy Rollins and a game-tying RBI single to...*drum roll*...Josh Beckett.

And somebody just set off a smoke bomb.
At 7:42 PM , jenny said...: No, sorry, spontaneously combusting dumpster. That's better.
At 8:05 PM , jenny said...: And Beckett just hit a solo HR. Looks like we may be able to pick up a game tonight.

Do D-backs fans call their stadium "the Bob?"
At 8:47 PM , Anonymous said...: who does matty diaz have to blow to get a few starts here? bloody hell.
At 9:02 PM , ububba said...: Not the greatest mound matchup, but here's another great opportunity to pick up a game & turn the page on last night's disaster. Let's get some runs...
At 9:22 PM , Mac said...: We're in great shape as long as Travis Smith can match Brandon Webb.

Uh-oh.
At 9:25 PM , jenny said...: Where is Todd Pratt? Is he still injured or whatever? I hate putting him in the lineup for pretty much any reason, but Brian McCann really needs to rest.
At 9:33 PM , jenny said...: Oh fuck.
At 9:35 PM , Mac said...: Well, the Saltamacchia era is about to begin. That looks like a broken leg.
At 9:36 PM , jenny said...: I never thought I'd say this, but please just be a broken leg and not knee ligaments. I think I'm going to be sick. Really.
At 9:44 PM , ububba said...: Hit one outta here, Frenchy...
At 9:48 PM , Miranda said...: Oh... I'm freakin' right now... this is horrible!

>literally cryin<

this isn't good... this hurts!
At 9:53 PM , Anonymous said...: oh, btw- thanks chipper. stellar glovework as always.
At 9:53 PM , Anonymous said...: sorry, i just had to go there.
At 10:01 PM , Alex said...: Any word on how McCann's doing?
At 10:02 PM , Stu said...: This night just really sucks for the Braves. If McCann misses much time, we'll fall out of this race pretty quickly.
At 10:08 PM , Anonymous said...: i really wish chip would quit saying what a hard, clean play it was; like that's somehow supposed to make us feel better. moron.
At 10:09 PM , LatNam said...: I've been posting over at primer during the Braves Journal exile.

But I thought I'd just come over here to "group grieve." (Hey, lookie there, I invented a new term.)

Anyway, this sucks. It reminds me of 3 years ago (almost to the day), when Marcus ran into Andruw in the outfield(against the Brewers). I have the same sorta sick feeling now I did right after that. Now, as then, I feel like the Braves have lost a hitter that can't be replaced. Of course Nick Green came up(already was up I think because Jesse Garcia was on bereavement leave), and preformed fine. I don't know if Saltamacchia or Pena or whomever comes up to replace McCann will play well or not, but its safe to say he won't be as good as McCann has been so far this year. And who knows if McCann will be as good when(if?) he comes back. So yeah, this sucks, I feel sick, life goes on.
At 10:15 PM , J Lεεds (oi!) said...: Unless Pena's suddenly learned to throw, it's got to be Salty coming up.
At 10:17 PM , Miranda said...: my heart has been ripped

I'm so sick right now

I wish they'd give an update... I won't sleep if they don't!
At 10:18 PM , jenny said...: Screw this announcer! He started talking about a "hairline fracture" and I thought "Whew! That's a lot better than I thought!" and then I realized he was talking about Johnny Estrada's bat. Darn it!

I've totally stopped caring about the outcome of this game. I just want McCann to be (relatively) okay.

And these letter verification things are actually hard to read on occasion.
At 10:19 PM , Stu said...: Yeah, the thing I'm most worried about is McCann's future. I can't help but think of Ray Fosse when I see a play like that. Hopefully, McCann will come back stronger and better, whenever that may be.
At 10:24 PM , Miranda said...: I'm right there with ya Jeeny... I don't think I've seen any of the game since... just when they show the replay... and all I can think about it McCann!

I wish they'd update...
At 10:29 PM , jenny said...: The longer we go without an update, the more worried I get. Somebody's saying they heard on the radio that it's 4 to 6 months, but I don't see how they could diagnose that fast. I'm assuming they took McCann to the hospital, and while I'm sure he can get looked at faster than us rabble, there's no way they could examine him and get results that fast, is there?
At 10:35 PM , Miranda said...: I wouldn't think they could, but I don't know... they said a minute ago that they had not heard anything yet and that he was still being examined in the club house...

haven't said anything bout him leaving and going to the H but I don't know they said they'd update us ASAP

nevermind here it is... left lateral ankle sprain DAY TO DAY

omg...that's GREAT... I still can't breathe though!
At 10:36 PM , Anonymous said...: chip just said ankle sprain, day-to-day. thank god.
At 10:36 PM , LatNam said...: They're saying "left lateral ankle sprain." You all probably heard that the same time as me, but I thought I'd pass it along.
At 10:36 PM , Anonymous said...: "left lateral ankle sprain"

day to day they're saying, but this sounds to good to be true.
At 10:39 PM , jenny said...: If that's all it is, wow, I can breathe again. We dodged a bullet.
At 10:48 PM , Miranda said...: I'm overcome with relief... I was praying! lol but hopefully that result doesn't change cause it could but yea... we dodged one!
At 10:55 PM , BDouglas said...: It's still tough to diagnose a sprained ankle and nothing more without further testing at the hospital, but at least I'll sleep a little better tonight.
At 10:56 PM , Miranda said...: I think we should just quit playing and call the game right now!
At 10:58 PM , jenny said...: Anyone hear that sound? That's Josh Byrnes laughing hysterically as he recalls this winter's Estrada trade.
At 10:58 PM , Alex said...: Boy, this is one of the most embarrassing games I've seen the Braves play in a long, long time.

Thank God that McCann's okay, though.
At 10:58 PM , ububba said...: The only "good news" tonight is that McCann's ankle doesn't seem to have a fracture or more serious injury.

Gotta regroup tomorrow & get a win. Need a big effort out of Huddy.
At 11:00 PM , Miranda said...: they have a story up on the main page of Atl's site...
