Written by Jonathan on March 30, 2008 – 7:51 pm

As I sit here on the couch, watching ESPN’s tour of the Nationals new stadium, it’s finally starting to sink in that baseball is officially back. Soon, we’ll be sitting in Turner Field watching the game and surely cursing the summer heat that seems to come out of nowhere every year. But that doesn’t matter; it’s baseball season, folks!

Tonight we’ll get to see President Bush throw out the first pitch to kick off Nationals Park. We’ll also see the Braves new alternate uniforms for 2008. They’re blue-on-blue uniforms with navy blue hats with the Braves logo ‘A’ in white.

The ESPN analysts’ World Series Predictions were just on as well:
Steve Phillips – Tigers (W) vs. Mets
Eric Young – Red Sox (W) vs. Braves
John Kruk – Cubs (W) vs. Indians
Karl Ravech – Cubs (W) vs. Tigers

Is this the year for the Braves? It all starts tonight….

Nationals Park looks to be a beautiful venue…I am looking forward to many Braves wins in the new park!
Enjoy the Game Ya’ll!!!!!!!!!!

Well KJ K’s to start off but we got Esco on base.

How do y’all like the new alternate uni’s?

Nationals Park is definitely a beautiful place from the looks of it. I think I’ll have to try to make a trip up there this year.

Great at bat from Yunel getting down 0-2 and fighting through to a walk in a 10-pitch series.

I’m a fan of the uniforms. I like the plain look sometimes. I definitely like the alternate hats.
By Bill on Mar 30, 2008 | Reply

The uni’s are ok. Not as good as the Sunday Home Red’s the we have had the last few years. Do we still have those for this season?
By bravesnuworld on Mar 30, 2008 | Reply

Oh my god how awful was that lady singing the National Anthem? My cats were screaming.
By Smitty on Mar 30, 2008 | Reply

The new uniforms were a bit of a surprise and I thought they were all right.

The cap is essentially the same as what they used for road games from 67-72.

Huddy started off a little shakey, but seems to be settling down.

But, yeah, we are underway and officially working toward October baseball.

(Good seeing you guys at the ING today)

Smitty
By Jonathan on Mar 30, 2008 | Reply

Well, the National Anthem was some opera singer…..not exactly my cup of tea so I don’t really know what to say about it….

Huddy just gave up two runs. This is where we need to get better. We seem to give up a lot of first/second inning runs. It’ll be a big help to the team.

Good seeing you today as well, Smitty. I’ve spent the rest of the day sleeping for the most part.

What was I saying about Huddy settling down?

By Bill on Mar 30, 2008 | Reply

The anthem was not bad as far as ‘operatic Anthem performers’ go. I am not a fan of Divas performing for sporting events. But, this is DC, and they need to go all ‘highbrow’ on us…..
Finally we get out of the first – time to go to work fellas!!!!!! Break out the lumber!
By Jonathan on Mar 30, 2008 | Reply

Well, we made it out of the first, so hopefully Hudson can get in a groove and get a good outing in. Time to turn on the offense (and keep an eye out for the first tick on the “Andruw would’ve got that” counter.
By Jonathan on Mar 30, 2008 | Reply

Frenchie grounding out on a first pitch . . . shocking.
By Bill on Mar 30, 2008 | Reply

Frenchy swings at the first pitch – some things never change!!!!
By Jonathan on Mar 30, 2008 | Reply

Good relay by the Nats, McCann didn’t stand a chance on that one. Though, he didn’t get the best break in the bounce off of the wall. Too bad he didn’t get just a little more on that ball.
By Bill on Mar 30, 2008 | Reply

Brian should know better – he is slow as Christmas!!!!
By Jonathan on Mar 30, 2008 | Reply

7 pitch inning . . . that’s much more like it for Huddy. Hopefully he can settle into that rhythm for a few innings now.
By Jonathan on Mar 30, 2008 | Reply

KJ getting picked off . . . we need to stop losing base runners that way.

Great fielding by Yunel however.

2-3-4 coming up . . . we need to get the bats going.
By Dillon on Mar 30, 2008 | Reply

So does anyone know anything about when they’ll be wearing those alts? They’re amazing with the blue on blue IMO. Wonder if we’re still gonna have the reds on Sundays.

By Jonathan on Mar 30, 2008 | Reply

So Joe Simpson doesn’t approve of comparing Kotsay to Andruw. I guess that means he wouldn’t like the “Andruw Would’ve Gotten That” counter then haha.
By JB in ATL on Mar 30, 2008 | Reply

i think we’re up to two right now but anyone coulda had those.
By Jonathan on Mar 30, 2008 | Reply

Yeah, we’re going to stick with ones that Kotsay misses that Andruw definitely could’ve gotten to I think.

Does anyone know what is on the Braves’ left sleeves? It looks like it says “BEACH” but I’m not sure.

Just the start-of-season jitters . . . they’ll work it out just fine Huddy at least seems to have settled in on the mound. I think we can get a solid 7 out of him tonight.

Good to see Willie out there, even if it is in a Nats uniform. I miss having him around Atlanta.

Larrys gonna take him yard. and itll be all tied up
By Jonathan on Mar 30, 2008 | Reply

It’d be nice to see Chip start the season off with a two home-run night . . . but looks like we’ll have to settle for a strikeout.

I liked Willie too. Hated to see Langerhans do so poorly last year too. I wish them both the best though

when they finally settle in well be fine. i have a question for everybody how do you think hamptons gonna do?
By Jonathan on Mar 30, 2008 | Reply

Well, I’ll leave the Hampton issue to the masses, I think my opinion’s well known. I need about 10 starts out of him before I have any faith in his durability. When we saw him pitch in spring training, he looked good, but I just want proof that he can last.
By SG ATL Born and Raised on Mar 30, 2008 | Reply

thats is excatly where im at i need to see starts before i say anything
By JB in ATL on Mar 30, 2008 | Reply

10 starts would be nice and the indicators have been good but you can’t be too sure with Hampton. He’s lookin AWESOME so far though
By Connie/BravesFan on Mar 30, 2008 | Reply

Thank you JB! I think Hampton will do just fine. He has lived on the umm sorry guys………MLB “welfare” system the last 2 yrs. He knows it is up to him to redeem his self… Just my opinion.

By Jonathan on Mar 30, 2008 | Reply

I think Hampton needs a good season to get signed by the Braves or anyone next year. He won’t see a contract near what he’s making this year either way.

I agree, Travis. Looking back, McCann getting thrown out trying to stretch the double and KJ getting picked off are coming back to haunt us.

As for Moylan, I think he’s a great asset to the team and a great setup man for Soriano.

Looks like I missed a heckuva discussion – sorry to hear the Braves lose like that in their first game (was driving back from a concert across town and had to listen to the end on the radio). Ya win some, ya lose some. Can't wait for tomorrow's game.

I'll make sure to get another game thread going tonight for everyone that's not at the game. I'll do my best to keep up with making a few comments via BlackBerry from the game.

- guest_5846 : guest_4030 your retarted
- guest_4030 : we are below 500 because all the games are not on TBS
- guest_4030 : the reason the Braves are below 500 is because they don't broadcast all the games on
- Rue : hey kent good job man!
- guest_6748 : 2 words ADAM DUNN
- guest_5501 : r u kiddin we suck
- guest_9193 : See if we can beat red sox tonight
- Ben : He was supposed to be a baseball god he cant even hit the ball out of the infield
- Ben : they need to trade (suckfest) Jeff francoeur
- guest_9113 : I agree; it is way past time for Bobby Cox to be released. How many years do the Braves fans have to wait for a winning team ? Why do they trade or sign good free-agents, only to let them go; and the teams they perform great for their new teams. New franchise teams seem to be able to re-build after terrible seasons, why can't the Braves ?
- guest_7732 : cox needs to go
- guest_6049 : they should have kept Tex and sent off glavine and hampton to allow some cap room
- guest_6049 : kent who else are they going to give up besides prospects who we seem to ship off every chance we get. Its not like they want to give up anyone else. we need to keep prospects. It seems like the Texas Rangers are full of great talent because of the Tex trade why would they want to give up their whole farm system?
- guest_3601 : It would be nice to see the Braves move Frenchy. I heard he may go to the Marlins
- Kent : guest_6049, I disagree that they're only willing to give up Frenchy. They've still got trading chips, and they'll use them (responsibly).
- Kent : That said... it's unusual to see a June impact deal (such as McLouth). Whatever the Braves get, it probably won't be until July.
- Kent : I'm certain Wren is working the phones. And I think another deal will be made for one more bat.
- guest_6049 : the only thing they are willing to give up is frenchy and no one wants that pos
- guest_6049 : the braves are to cheap to get anyone worth a crap
- guest_1000 : any rumors who the braves are looking at as far as a big bat
- guest_5894 : Eff the Braves. They are a joke now. What a sham of an organization. This thing needs to be blown up and stared over. If we are going to suck then lets suck with the young and inexpensive. The current roster is not going to win.
- guest_3846 : We are getting our butts kicked again. I am calling it now. The season is over. Let's try to get what we can for Lowe and Vazquez. Not sure what to do with Kawakami but it looks like a nunmber 4 or 5 starter to me and that is an expensive 4 or 5.
- guest_6118 : hey retards r u there
- guest_5744 : is any one there
- guest_6118 : and why did the braves even express intrest in brad penny we need a big bat not pitching
- guest_6118 : francoeur sucks
- Michael Ramm : Colin: agree, I don't know why we wasted time with Glavine anyway. The departure was harsh, but needed.
- TR : Francouer and Johnson... the new Shaffer!
- guest_8601 : Hope you will include our Nats Blog on your links: www.centerfieldgate.com
- Colin : I'm not sorry to see Glavine go. I was worried we were spending a lot of money on him for a very marginal return.
- Jonathan : So Glavine's hitting the road. Can't say I saw that one coming, but I can't really blame the Braves.
- Theo : I'm tired of watching a team, owned by an out-of-town partnership... Giving us a .500 team...what gives with that?
- guest_1666 : lose shaeffer... Fast!!!
- guest_1666 : please get an outfield that can hit!!!
- Jonathan : Nice that I finally get to watch a Braves game. Vacation took away my ability to do that for a week.
