Luke, Laura, Frenchy…
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Boss just said, “Chick, turn the TV around and blog while the game’s on today.” I said, “Do I get paid to do this?” Boss said, “Yeah.” Blog ahoy! Chop Chick at 1 p.m. Turn on, drop out, tune in, log on.
So I’ll be missing All My Children and whatever happens with Erica, her latest husband, Tad the Cad and Dixie (oh yeah - she’s back… again) today in order to tune in to Atlanta’s true fave soap opera: As The Team Turns, chronicling the ongoing saga of the Braves’ fight to regain their rightful place atop the NL East from those dastardly Mets.
Let’s recap, in case you missed the show: Tuesday, the Fish tried to make the Braves think that their Evil Twins who can’t pull out the close ones were taking the field but our handsome young heroes, Jeff Francoeur and Matt Diaz, saw through the ruse and saved the day. The real Braves pushed the Evil Fake Bravos down the stairs to their eventual soap opera death in the bottom of the 9th and won the game in the 11th inning. All was well at the Ted and the sun rose on another happy day in Atlanta. It was more of the same Wednesday as longstanding resident Good Guy Larry “Chipper” Jones thwarted the Marlins’ psycho plot to steal the game away from the Braves. Chipper’s three-run dinger blew up the Fish as they tried to cut the brakes on Atlanta’s comeback car and the Tomahawks came away with the 6-4 victory, again in 11 innings of melodrama. Adventure Couple Du Jour Luke and Laura Spencer from General Hospital e-mailed congrats to Chipper today from Port Charles. They’re off to save the world from being frozen again or whatever but late-inning heroics have always impressed them, they say.
Erica Kane throws out today’s first pitch, just so you know. Spoilers say she makes Frenchy her 11th hubby during the 7th inning stretch but that’s just a rumor.

Sosa gives up a dinger before everyone is seated. Can Erica give us some innings?

thanks MGL. Freakin Sosa. I’m tired of this act. Let’s do this Braves! Chop Chick lays on the “Like” and “um” a lot in her writing. Frightful.
