Hey look at that, I'm getting this up 3 hours before gametime. Imagine that. Hope everyone had a good fourth...mine was interesting, got cut off at Chilis with a bunch of friends when only 2 of us were really drinking. Half of us each ordered 2 entrees too...that was fun. Still bummed out about my man McNair though...RIP to one of my heroes.

A happy fourth to all. I expect hardly any entries today because of the lovely holiday. Remember everyone, we have a 1 PM game today, and everyone will probably be blacked out of it because of Fox's lovely regulations...in fact, all but 4 games will be blacked out nationally since Fox holds exclusive rights to all games that start before 7 PM on a Saturday. So if you're not doing anything today and are in the mood for baseball...yeah. Sorry.

I don't know how much longer I'm going to do this, I really don't have the time anymore.

Going for the sweep with our best pitcher on the mound against a rookie, and the offense is really in sync...what could go wrong? Knowing this team, Vazquez will allow a solo homer and nothing else, and the offense will get 3 hits for the entire game, and we'll lose. These things happen, I guess.

Sorry for the lateness, I've had an extremely busy day and am actually posting this while my professor is babbling on about the syllabus and such...ecommerce, how exciting! Anyway, big win last night, lets see if the boys can keep it rolling tonight against the hated rivals. Cole Hamels likes to eat our souls...can he do it again? I sure as hell hope not.

I figure I'll get this up now since I don't really know what I'll be doing tomorrow morning (if I wake up late or not) and at lunch (if I go out somewhere or just come home and eat a boring sandwich [and having a boring life]). The series preview of this series with Philly is up over at BravesHeart, so check that out. On Tuesday, fat Joe Blanton goes for Philly...fresh off a 10 strikeout performance. WTF is THAT?

NAHWAL 6/28/09 - Red Sox @ Braves

So here we are, attempting to avoid a sweep and lost 5 out of 6 against our "natural rival" this season. The absolute garbage lineup trotted out yesterday resulted in a grand total of 0 runs, when 2 would have sufficed. Poor, poor Javier Vazquez, the man just cannot catch a break. Tommy Hanson on the hill Sunday, looking to improve his record to an undeserved 4-0. What will happen? We shall see.

Hello. If anyone was not privy to the game thread, you missed my lovely story about having to reinstall Windows on my 1 day old laptop thanks to me being a complete moron. Always a fun time...spent almost all night downloading all the programs I had on Thursday and getting everything transferred over from my external. Moral of the story: when Windows tells you not to shut your computer off during an update, for all that is holy, DO NOT TURN YOUR COMPUTER OFF. Good times.

This new laptop is without a shadow of a doubt, the best thing in the history of ever. Its so quiet...so sleek...so fast...I mean, an authoring project in TMPGenc that took 8 hours on my old one took just over 1 when I did it last night. I've got all the programs I need (whether they are legal or not is anyone's best guess), though I still haven't installed Nero because every version on the internet is loaded with trojans. Ah, the internet. God bless.
