Even if you don't know one thing about baseball, you should watch this video that I have here for you! The Atlanta Braves played the Philadelphia Phillies last night. The Phillies were ahead in the 9th inning and Dan Uggla came to bat with the bases loaded. When the batter hits a HOMERUN with the bases loaded, that is called a GRAND SLAM, and it scores 4 runs! That is just what Dan Uggla did!!!! (Four exclamation points there.) The Philly fans were taunting Dan Uggla while he was at bat and this video of their reaction to the homerun is priceless! HA! I love it! Anybody from Philly might not find it so amusing! The final score of the game was 9-6. GO BRAVES!!!
Oh dear, I just looked back at this blog and it says you can't see it on here...never mind, you can find it, it's out there. Watch it if you get the chance!
It sounds like it was a very exciting moment....for the Atlanta Braves and their fans! Go the Braves! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lee! At the end of the National Anthem we always sing , "Land of the free and the home of the BRAVES!" HA!!
DeleteGO BRAVES!! I hope they go all the way this year! My son has already been to one of the games, he loves them too!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful Easter,
Dorothy
Hey Dorothy!
DeleteMy son was at the game just this past Sunday! He called me from there and he was very excited and happy to be there! Happy Easter to you too, my friend! xx
A Grand Slam is the most exciting thing in baseball, isn't it!
ReplyDeleteYes, especially when it is your team! Not so fun when it's the other guys!
DeleteMy Internet is not cooperating so I'll have to watch the video later. I was actually listing to that game on the radio and what a dramatic finish--neither team's bullpen could get anyone out.
ReplyDeleteSometimes if I am not able to be near a TV, I will listen to the game on the radio. And it is really fun to listen to it that way too! Love baseball, and I have passed my love on to my son!
DeleteRounders, bah, just a kids game.......
ReplyDeleteHa! it took the Americans to improve it and make it into a REAL game!
Delete:-)
Congratulations to the Braves! A grand slam is a fun thing to watch, when it's your team.
ReplyDeleteAnd the reaction of the fans from Philadelphia is really funny. I saw that they had the video on a British newspaper, The Guardian!
DeleteBeing a Georgia girl, I love the Braves!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes Sylvia! They are looking good, I have great hopes for a wonderful season for our Braves! Let's chop together! xx
DeleteQuite a game, we were sick when Phillies went ahead after the game Santana had pitched. I have cursed Uggla more than once, but that homer was a beauty.
ReplyDeleteOh, I know just what you mean! I have given Uggla a stern talking-to several times and he doesn't even know it! HA!
DeleteHappy Birthday, Kay (a day late!). I hope that you had a fun time celebrating your special day. We sports fans take our teams seriously, don't we? I've been enjoying your beautiful flowers and trees in recent posts ~ especially on Arabia Mountain. Have an awesome evening!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for your birthday wishes, much appreciated!
DeleteSo happy you liked the Arabia Mountain photos, it is lovely in the Spring.
Hope the weather in Colorado is becoming more Spring like for you! xx
I'm not a big follower of sports, but I find myself cheering for the home team...but sadly Cleveland doesn't have many chances of that! I hear the Indians may do good this year...miracles do happen! Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteThere was a time in my life when I was a bit obsessed with sports! My Richard does not care that much for them, so I don't watch them as much as I used to...except for baseball, and since my Dad loves the sport so, I MUST watch the Braves so I can talk with my DAd about them! Gotta root for the home team! Hang in there, miracles happen all the time. xx
