Live Commentating: Braves @ Nationals

It's opening day, and I'll be here commenting on the activities. Join me in the comments below.

asimperson said...: Covering the game, Joe Morgan and Jon Miller. Ah, what a way to start the year.; 3/30/2008 05:03:00 PM
A5 said...: http://www.firejoemorgan.com/; 3/30/2008 05:04:00 PM
asimperson said...: A solid performance of the national anthem. Now onto the presidential first pitch.

I wish they'd hurry up.; 3/30/2008 05:11:00 PM
A5 said...: 50/50 reaction for W - wtg.; 3/30/2008 05:13:00 PM
asimperson said...: Bush's pitch is high and inside to a chorus of boos and applause.

Sounds about right.; 3/30/2008 05:14:00 PM
A5 said...: For the record, the game was supposed to start 12 minutes ago. This thing won't be over until midnight EDT.; 3/30/2008 05:17:00 PM
asimperson said...: While we wait for the real first pitch, it's worth noting that the Braves will go back to Atlanta as soon as this one is over to face the Pirates and then get an off day Tuesday.; 3/30/2008 05:19:00 PM
asimperson said...: Joe Morgan had trouble pronouncing "Matt Diaz". This is going to be fun.; 3/30/2008 05:20:00 PM
asimperson said...: And here we go...and Kelly Johnson fouls one off.; 3/30/2008 05:21:00 PM
asimperson said...: And Johnson goes down on a strikeout. Ah well.; 3/30/2008 05:23:00 PM
asimperson said...: Okay, seriously, these blue alternate uniforms suck. Black lettering on a blue shirt? Who the hell thought of that?; 3/30/2008 05:24:00 PM
A5 said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 3/30/2008 05:24:00 PM
asimperson said...: And Yunel Escobar gets on base after fouling off a few pitches.

I still think he should be batting lead-off ahead of Kelly.; 3/30/2008 05:26:00 PM
asimperson said...: Chipper Jones flies out on the first pitch he sees.; 3/30/2008 05:27:00 PM
asimperson said...: Though it was a ball earlier, Teixeira strikes out looking. Middle of the first.; 3/30/2008 05:30:00 PM
asimperson said...: First hit for the Nats and their park as Christian Guzman gets a broken-bat base hit.; 3/30/2008 05:32:00 PM
asimperson said...: Hudson throws away a pick-off play and Guzman advances to 3rd. Ugh.; 3/30/2008 05:34:00 PM
asimperson said...: And Hudson gets himself a strikeout. 1 out.; 3/30/2008 05:36:00 PM
asimperson said...: Jon Miller just said "our friend Bill James". I doubt Joe Morgan talks to Mr. James on any sort of basis.

Meanwhile, Hudson strikes out Zimmerman. 2 down.; 3/30/2008 05:39:00 PM
asimperson said...: Nick Johnson singles to right and advances to second, scoring Guzman from third. 1-0 Nats.; 3/30/2008 05:42:00 PM
asimperson said...: 2-0 Nats, ugh.; 3/30/2008 05:43:00 PM
asimperson said...: LoDuca grounds out 5-3, and we move on.; 3/30/2008 05:47:00 PM
asimperson said...: Ugh. McCann rockets a ball off the top of the right-field wall and gets thrown out at second. Ah well.; 3/30/2008 05:52:00 PM
asimperson said...: Hudson gets out of the 2nd easily. They are apparently then going to have the president in the booth for some reason.; 3/30/2008 05:58:00 PM
asimperson said...: Braves finally get a base hit. Escobar up with 2 outs now.; 3/30/2008 06:04:00 PM
asimperson said...: Nevermind, KJ gets picked off. Middle of the 3rd.; 3/30/2008 06:04:00 PM
A5 said...: Bush in the booth. Very awkward for everyone involved.; 3/30/2008 06:05:00 PM
asimperson said...: 1-2-3 inning for Hudson. End of 3.; 3/30/2008 06:09:00 PM
asimperson said...: Chipper homers to left center, 2-1 Nats.; 3/30/2008 06:14:00 PM
A5 said...: I think W has more vision for baseball than he does for America.; 3/30/2008 06:18:00 PM
asimperson said...: I love it when this happens. Francoeur bounces a ball down the 3rd base line. 3rd baseman lets it go to see if rolls foul, and at the last second it hits the bag, dying on impact.

Infield single.; 3/30/2008 06:19:00 PM
asimperson said...: McCann flies out to center, middle 4th. brb; 3/30/2008 06:20:00 PM
asimperson said...: Anyway, had to pick up dinner. Saw the top of the 5th. Ah well.; 3/30/2008 06:38:00 PM
asimperson said...: Hudson with another 1-2-3 inning. I could get used to this. Now we just need some offense...; 3/30/2008 06:41:00 PM
asimperson said...: The new 2k sports commercials are really obnoxious.; 3/30/2008 06:41:00 PM
asimperson said...: Hudson is rolling, offense is not. End 6th.; 3/30/2008 06:52:00 PM
asimperson said...: End 7, running out of time...; 3/30/2008 07:07:00 PM
asimperson said...: End of 8, last chance... Got the guys we want coming up, though.; 3/30/2008 07:29:00 PM
asimperson said...: Teixeria doubled to right center, Prado pinch ran for him. Passed ball scores him, tied at 2 with McCann batting and 2 out.; 3/30/2008 07:37:00 PM
asimperson said...: McCann flies out to right, middle 9th.; 3/30/2008 07:38:00 PM
asimperson said...: Er, left, whatever. Anyway, let's hope we get some free baseball here.; 3/30/2008 07:40:00 PM
asimperson said...: Moylan gets Guzman, 1 down.; 3/30/2008 07:41:00 PM
asimperson said...: 2 down as Milledge tries to slide into first. Zimmerman up...; 3/30/2008 07:42:00 PM
asimperson said...: Ballgame. 3-2 nats. Goodnight.; 3/30/2008 07:43:00 PM
A5 said...: Fuck.; 3/30/2008 07:49:00 PM

"Could be nutmeg. Nightmarish visions might be better than the nightlife in Oxford... it's the sailor's LSD." — Spencer Hall on what the smoke might've been in Laremy Tunsil's gas mask

"Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice" is basically the old-timey [version] of "long time listener, first time caller" anyway. — Jarvorskie Layne's

Steve Spurrier on Dabo Swinney’s “He’s from Pluto, I’m from Mars” quote: “Dabo still thinks there are 9 planets out there" — @McMurphyESPN, July 22, 2014

Uncle Bob's the best. He was the one who decades ago showed us our first soccer matches, always genial, always nudging us toward the beautiful game one rarely broadcasted game at a time. And there he is now that we're all full-blown fans, nodding and smiling on the television as Euro 2012 is shown all day on ESPN, silently beaming and looking at you saying: I told you so. — Spencer Hall

At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid. — Nietzsche

Interviewer: How cerebral is Les Miles?
Les Miles: I don't really know.

Our offense is built to crush the will of opposing defenses, particularly late in the game. I can think of a half dozen instances where defenders who were formidable in the first half turned to jelly in the third and fourth quarters and were easier to block than our scout team. It's a glorious feeling - a realization of checkmate - and it always gave me a second wind. After that, finishing them off is largely a formality. — Sean Bedford

College football is not popular because of the stars. College football is popular because of that first word. Take away the college part, add in money, and you are left with professional minor league football and a developmental basketball league. See how many people go watch that. — Joe Posnanski

[The NFL is] like boxing. When you watch two heavyweights box, you generally end up with a man-hug borefest with two fat slobs flailing around and groping one another for ten rounds. It's not exciting. The NFL is the same way. Both teams are a lot better than the college teams, even if they suck hard like Lions. But they also know it, play conservatively, and just bump around all game hugging each other. — Allen Kaholic

Certainly, we were penalties, and we stopped ourselves. — Les Miles, feeling particularly zen after the West Virginia game

"[San Jose State] is simply awful" - gtrw
"Guys who can play rush defense obviously don't know the way there." - gthog61

I like how Kam Chancellor knows who is going to get the ball in the option even before Nesbitt does. The ability to see into the future explains the success of Beamer’s defenses. — gtne91

Is it safe to say that 75% of the football threads that are started end up somehow back to another ole Ball n' Chan discussion[?] — killerbuzz42

Thanks for the link to O'Leary's resume. Interesting read. I had no idea he was the head coach of the 1972 Miami Dolphins. — GiveEmHellJackets

The simile: Reggie Ball : Georgia as Agrajag : Arthur Dent. — Spencer Hall

The poster forgot to mention that at UGA the "CS" department is "Cattle Science". That the student lives in a barn should not be shocking given that it is highly likely he was raised in one. — George P. Burdell
