Ryan Zimmerman 9th Inning Walk Off Home Run to Usher In Nationals Park
Published 3/31/2008 at FanIQ Blog
... New offering for all Nationals fans at the new ballpark: Happy Endings(!) according to Jon Miller. If these keeps up Washington should have no trouble selling out for many years. Nice of the Nationals to get a few runs in the first inning to welcome everyone in but they forgot to keep that up. Tim Hudson has his A+ stuff and the Nats didn't get another hit until the bottom of the ninth. Cue: Ryan Zimmerman walk off. Nats 3, Braves 2

3/30 Game Recap: Ugh.
Published 3/31/2008 by Alex Remington at Chop-n-Change
Nationals 3, Braves 2 Well, it was an auspicious start for the Washington Nationals’ lovely new ballpark, no matter what some people think. I tried to get in, because they announced a few days before the game that they’d have 500 gameday-only $5 seats — after standing in line for an hour they sold out about 50 people before they got to me. There was a stiltwalker and a balloon animal blower to keep the kids happy, and red, white and blue decorations everywhere. So I went home and watched the game on ESPN (listening to the audio on WGST ...

Are the Braves Returning to Old Glories, or Are They Just Old?

Dave Rouleau posted 3/27/2008 from seamheads.com

The National League East appeared to be a two-team race as Spring Training opened. The Mets have made the big splash with Santana, of course, and the Phillies return nearly all the players from last year's division championship team. But the buzz in recent weeks has focused around the Atlanta Braves being a potential third contender.

Nobody Wanted It

Posted 4/1/2008 on Bugs & Cranks

But apparently, the Braves wanted it just a little bit less. I caught the last few innings of tonight’s Braves-Pirates game online via MLB.TV. With the ghost of Ted Turner finally exorcised completely from the corporate offices and TBS fully stripped of its ‘homer-hood’, an online feed is one of the few ways we out-of-town fans can get our Braves baseball fix. If we can ...

Spiezio recently was cut from the Cardinals after fleecing them for what can be called “disorderly conduct” , to say the least. ShareThis

ATL Signs Spiezio

Dave O’Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Consitution is reporting that the Atlanta Braves have signed veteran infielder Scott Spiezio to a minor-league deal. In 223 at-bats last season, the 35-year old Spiezio hit .269 with 4 HR and 31 RBI. He will likely get a call to join Atlanta’s bench quite soon, as he has shown that he still has a very decent eye, drawing 27 walks last season in ...

Even though the Atlanta Braves did not win last night, Chipper Jones added another home run to his total. He has 387 career home runs and is in 49th place all-time. That might not be a super-impressive number, but if he hits 29 like he did last season, he will move to 41st. On the way to the #41 spot he will pass some hall of famers and some former Atlanta Braves… here is the list ...

But while he was here, he put Braves baseball in the public consciousness in a way that not ...

The 30 Greatest Atlanta Braves: No. 4, Dale Murphy

Posted 3/31/2008 on Right Down Peachtree

You don't talk baseball in Atlanta without bringing Dale Murphy into the conversation. I get the sense now that he's something of a relic to Braves fans under 30, the ones who came of age after the 1991 team began their run. But for the 1980s, Murphy was the face of Atlanta sports, and Atlanta couldn't have chosen a better icon. Murphy was a solid, genuine, decent guy in the Braves locker ...

The days are gone when the Mets lived in the Braves’ shadow; that ended in 2006 when the Mets won the division and the Braves, for the first time in twelve years, didn’t. The Braves finished third that year, a sub .500 team for the first time since 1990, when Ron Gant and David Justice were stars and Tom Glavine had yet to win 20 games. 2007 saw the Braves finish third again but with 84 wins ...
