Gonna have to get that other Reyes a graphic. Wish I could see this game. Got Phils game on but I'm not really watching it. I will hear when something happens there tho, and report. Still 1-0 Braves

Braves take a 1-0 lead over the Phils in the 4th on a Brian McCann solo shot.

Put that race card away my good man. I'd venture to say that race does not have anything to do with this in any way, shape or form. Ask Phils broadcaster Gary Matthews Sr., who said teams would retaliate to his hotdogging until they came to the realization that he was who he is and he wasn't going to stop doing it. If it hasn't happened already, and I think it has, more than likely they recognize that Reyes is not going to stop being Reyes. No matter what they do. I have no problems with dugout dancing. I think its entertaining. As far as Jose's display of his #1 finger, my only thought at the time was " Hey, maybe Jose, maybe if we won last nights game, but I think thats a little premature". Then I thought "thats Jose and he is who he is and the Phils know that". I would assume J-Roll snickered/laughed if he saw it. If retaliating against Reyes occurred to anyone on the Phils squad, I'm sure it was put on the back burner during this series. And thats all that matters to me. I consider what the booth says during a game the same as dugout dances, entertainment. I heard what the Phil TV guy Wheeler said ["And now he's got to go through all this nonsense, which just infuriates other teams, but that's the thing they do."] and he even added "He's got to stop that crap." (I laughed. I found that very funny that they were so incensed they said that. I didn't hear what Larry said at that time, but if I did I would have thought: " STFU Larry. Thats why your up in a booth and not a pitching coach. Cause your and idiot." Not an idiot for thinking it thought,..and not for saying it out loud on the air, but for using the phase "in the neck". Once again, words brought forth from the emotion of the moment and I have to like when a player on my team causes such a stir. I know when I saw Jose running all the way from rounding 1st to second base with his finger held up it occurred to me there may be repercussions for that. I won't be surprised if down the line the Phils plunk Reyes with extreme prejudice, and I don't mean that in a racial way. I mean it in a baseball way.

No doubt it's Bowa.

Nice Beltran. Bunt with two on to get Cancel to the plate.

Good inning from the pen.

Its the 7th. Let it rain.

Reyes rounds the bases holding his arm up displaying his number one finger (thats the index finger). Phils broadcasters say of Reyes dugout dance: "they have to stop that crap."

Maine can't get a bunt down. Ks tryin. REYES!

1st and 2nd, no out. Maine up to sac..

Great DP by Easley. Nice play.

Schneid swings at the 1st pitch. Gah.

That time you shudda sent him Louie.

I can only hope Myers doesn't settle down and pitch a nice game, and that Maine does. Lets get em right back.

UGH. 2-2. 2 homers. Back 2 back 2 much. Victorino's just made it but Jenkins just crushed his way outta there.

Break as DP grounder goes off Howards glove. Why wasn't Anderson busting it to 1st? And Easley grounds out to end the inning. Ill take the two runs.

4th walk plates a run. Woot! Lets get more..break this open Marlon!

Nice. Three walks in a row by Myers. This game could make or break him with the Phils. Cant let him wriggle out of this.

Nice 1st inning for Maine. How could that one pitch to Burrell be called a ball? Angel Hernandez sucks.

The word of the evening is "resilience". We need this team to show some.

I only got one pic for tonights fiasco....
