Nationals @ Braves, Game 1
« Topic Start: May 25, 2012, 06:05:15 PM »
***THE STORY OF THE LATE GAMEDAY THREAD***

Once upon a time in the imaginary kingdom of Mylanta, WNFF gameday thread starter The Chief was all set
to take the mound against the Mylanta Broves, a notorious band of rednecks and nincompoops


happy as a dinosaur in a trashcan

SUDDENLY, A WILD TAMMY CHOADSON APPEARS!!!


"Let's be honest here: I don't think Chief's got GDT stuff"
3-1, 3.03 ERA, 1.194 WHIP

Tammy didn't think that dinosaurs should be playing spaceball, as they have very short arms
and probably can't throw a ball so well.  He asked the umpiring crew to disqualify The Chief
on the grounds that he might have performance-enhancing garbage hidden in his trashcan.


"Sorry Chief", said Nathan as he carted him off the field

A NEW CHALLENGER APPEARS!!!!


"That was a dick move.  You're going down, sling blade"
3-3, 3.65 ERA, 1.195 WHIP

Ross Detwiler showed up just in the nick of time, but he didn't come alone:

Nasty Nats
LF Steve "my other plan was to open a pizzeria" Lombardozzi
RF Bryce "Harprodan" Harper
3B Ryan "I'm on a boat" Zimmerman
1B Adam "Sweet Chin Music" LaRoche
SS Ian "Haterz gonna hate" Desmond
2B Danny "Antonio Banderas" Espinosa
CF Rick "Original Gangster" Ankiel
C Jesus "Jesse Flowers" Flores

And so it was on like Donkey Kong.  Tammy brought some of his girlfriends along
but they were all scrubs, so it did not matter what their names were.

A bit odd...slightly over a quarter of the way into the season, and tonight begins the first meeting of the season between these division rivals.

Chipper Jones is out of the line-up with an injury.  That's a big plus for the Nats.

Braves home matches normally start at that time on Fridays (http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/schedule/_/name/atl/atlanta-braves)...I think they've been doing that for some time now.

Ugh, what is with the MASN feed (on FIOS). I am getting occasional stuttering/freezes in the picture. Hope that works itself out.

I thought that was just me. That's a bit comforting I guess. But yeah, it's 2012, FIOS has got to step it up.

By the way, anyone who wants to know the lineups tonight:

1.    S. Lombardozzi, LF    M. Bourn, CF
2.    B. Harper, RF    M. Prado, 3B
3.    R. Zimmerman, 3B    F. Freeman, 1B
4.    A. LaRoche, 1B    D. Uggla, 2B
5.    I. Desmond, SS    M. Diaz, LF
6.    D. Espinosa, 2B    J. Heyward, RF
7.    R. Ankiel, CF    D. Ross, C
8.    J. Flores, C    J. Wilson, SS
9.    R. Detwiler, P    T. Hudson, P

You guys remember when 2K6 was insistent that he and he alone be in charge of gameday threads and posters complained and intimated that the Nats' losing would get a boost if other people were allowed to start the gamethreads?  :lmao:

What in the world is going on with Wang's schedule? He'll only throw every fifth day but if Detwiler is cruising he won't pitch. :lmao:

The rare Lombardozzi strikeout.  Mark it down on your calendar.
