Lowe just threw over to first with Lee STANDING on first.  Yes, he's slow, but c'mon!

Of their current uniforms, I do like these too.

Same here. I think the only time they wear them anymore is during Sunday road games when the home team wears red.

Berkman lets the popped up bunt drop, throws the runner out at 2nd, then Kep throws to Feliz to get the runner out going to 3rd. 

Bleeding slowed.

That play by Berkman was almost Bagwell-esque.

Yeah, YoungerSon leaped off the couch and wondered rather loudly why Berkman let that drop. My explanation was that it was probably easier to let it drop and throw the runner out at 2nd than to turn further around and hurl the ball to first, where he not only might not've gotten the runner, but he didn't know if anyone was covering the bag.

JD commented that the Turner Field organist was having some fun today, playing "Suspicious Minds" when Lance came up to bat, and "Feliz Navidad" when Pedro came up.

Also, if he lets the ball drop, then the force play is still on at any base.

See, I knew someone would find a simpler way to say what I was thinking.

Booouuurn with a running lay-out dive to rob the Bravos of a hit.

Norris at 80 pitches.

Man, Heyward really gets some extension on his swing. He's only 20? He could develop some scary power as he ages.

Brownie says they call him "Jay-Hey."

I'm going to modify that to "VaJayHey."

he's got a good patience at the plate too.

And such a great attitude!  So humble!  And his parents went to Dartmouth!  And his 14 year old brother is in the scouts!

weird that the lefty braves are getting such good contact on norris' sliders down and in.  that didn't seem like a bad pitch on that double there, but cabrera just smacked it to right like he knew it was coming.

Also "Born to Run" for Bourn.
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.
