Uggla extends the hit streak to 29 games. Braves also lead 8-2 in the 8th.

Great night for the good guys. Maybe Lowe will actually settle into his late season groove.

Proctor tried to fuck it up, and fucked Kimbril out of an off day. Constanza has another multi-hit game. He's going to be hard to take out of the lineup.

Uggla extends it to 30 on a 1-6 night. Braves secured a series win and go to 68-49. Frick...19 games over .500 and the biggest deficit in baseball. With the hitting finally coming around, this team looks like the complete opposite of earlier in the season. Best staff in baseball (statistically) for most of the first half. Now, Hanson is getting MRI's, Lowe just plain teh sux and Jurrjens looks human. Beachey pitched well last night so they need to piece together a rotation the rest of the way to get them into the wildcard.

They have the Marlins again tonight so hopefully, Uggla can tie the Bravos record. Worried about the opener against the Cubbies because Zambrano will junk ball him to death.

Cards fall 4 back to the Brewers. Pujols now batting .128 against the Brew Crew this year. They've figured out how to pitch to him, come inside, and he doesn't have the plate discipline to lay off the outside balls.

The Crew will fade. They always do.

Beachy pithced one hell of a game, and I hated to see him get a ND. One thing I noticed last night, is that the Marlins have no fan support. Hell I've seen more fans at a Huntsville Stars game.

Did you see big ole Mike Stanton swing and have the bat slip out of his hands. It flew into the stands about 100 mph. VERY little chance of anyone being hit.

I didn't think of it that way. The Marlins must have asked the fans to stay home so nobody would get hurt. Nice people, those Marlins.

Yeah hopefully Vizciano can eat some innings when the starters struggle.

Not a great first outing. Walked the bases loaded, including a hit batsman. Struck out 1. Hopefully Venters can get the final out to end this one.

Vizciano has a live arm but you could tell he was nervous as hayull. Don't know why. I know it was his first MLB outing but he was only pitching in front of 17 people.

This is from a snarky Austin liberal who is pissed that Rick Perry may be the savior of the Republican Party and our next President, but he got one thing right admidst his revisionist history:

Quote

As a resident of Texas for 36 years, I keep wondering why the rest of the nation pays any attention to our political and cultural absurdities and yet still chooses Texans as presidents. Our most revered historical moment, the Alamo, was arguably a mass suicide. The slaughter in San Antonio was followed by a massacre at Goliad, the fall of the Confederacy to Union forces, and later by the Houston Astros. Texas has a legacy of losing.

One out of four right. Fucking liberal.

Was Rick Perry a starter or a reliever?

If he sits Obama down in four, he's the closer.

Braves have finally sent Zambrano to the retirement home? Thank You!!!

http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2011_08_12_chnmlb_atlmlb_1&mode=recap_away&c_id=chc

Word is that by the time the team came to the locker room, he had already cleared out his locker and declared he was retiring. About. Fucking. Time.

HALELUJAH!!! I have hated Z for a long fucking time. He is a head case and a fat ass. Washed up loser. Best Astros game I have ever seen was a win against Zambrano. Game is better off.

Of course, this means the fucking Suckasstros will sign him.

Buzz Killington · « **Reply #477 on:** August 13, 2011, 10:00:28 PM »

Zambastardo says he really didn't mean it. He was just mad.
Jim Hendry says fuck you. No baseball or pay for 30 days.

All of a sudden, I heart Jim Hendry...
