Blue caps!

I'm going out to play and will try to catch updates via my little fruity radio.

[Guest Edgy DC]

It's not often you get the A-list lineup on a Sunday afternoon.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

1 pitch, 1 run for Atlanta.

Put Oliver back out there.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Which doesn't stop Kelly Johnson from crushing the first pitch for a 1-0 lead.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Jesus, Tommy.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nothing really over the plate since that first pitch.

[Guest iramets]

6 straight Braves in a row sit down.

Well, I'm not sure all of them are straight.

[Guest Edgy DC]

It's Autism Awareness Day.

Glavine in trouble as Renteria pulls a ball off of his shoetops.

[Guest iramets]

Did the Mets reserve the bleachers for the autistic kids and their families, or are they sitting all throughout the park? It would freak me out, I think, to buy a bleacher seat and find out that I'm surrounded by a few hundred autistic kids. Might take me a few innings to realize why my surroundings were unusual.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I think they got a section.

Good thing Chips doesn't field at Shea as well as he hits. Rally happening.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Come out of it now, Paulo.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

LoDuca showing some high sock too. I like.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm loving how Glavine is dealing today.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm loving how Smoltz is dealing today.

[Guest GYC]

Shawn Green goes Kaboom! to tie the game!

That's his 3rd homer of the year. He's been doing way better than I expected.

[Guest GYC]

Diaz robs Valentin of an extra base hit that was nearly a homer. Damn. So close.

[Guest Edgy DC]

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Green joining Perez in the "Brave Killer" club.

[metirish]

That was a blast from Green,I think he throws his batting gloves to the crowd after he hits a homer....

[Guest OlerudOwned]

I don't think Smoltz even made a facial expression during that play.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Smoltz had no bidness making that play.

[metirish]

That's one of the finest plays I have ever seen a pitcher make...brilliant.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

When in slump, go the other way.

Dare pitch around Beltran?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Reyes could've scored on that play running backwards.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Not many people can throw a slider that well, that consistently.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Now the Braves have two on and two out.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Boo!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hi, I'm David. I'm lost.
