• The #Braves missed a great opportunity to gain some ground on the #Rockies & #Giants. They’ll start the weekend series still 4 games back. #
• @ConnorMcKnight Yeah. The #Falcons offense is going to have to really produce. They’ll need to win a lot of shoot-outs. in reply to ConnorMcKnight #
• Between Lincecum and Pedro Martinez there were 20 K’s and only one walk in 14 combined innings. Shame one of them had to lose the game. #
• In 37 games in St. Louis Matt Holliday has 10 home runs and 37 RBI. He’s also batting .386. #Cardinals #
• Matt Ryan’s preseason line: 27-36 for 267 yards, 2 TD’s 0 INT’s. Passer rating of 114.0 #Falcons #
• #Falcons receivers are not helping D.J. Shockley hold on to his roster spot. Lots of dropped passes. #
• @TheMontyShow Mangini wants people to pay attention to the Browns for as long as possible? in reply to TheMontyShow #
• @djackson9 D.J. was extremely good in the 1st 2 weeks of camp. He’s been unimpressive since. He’s in danger, for sure. in reply to djackson9 #
• Reading and agreeing with @SchultzAJC : The #Falcons defense is in trouble. http://bit.ly/m3oMC in reply to SchultzAJC #
• @djackson9 Shockley is not a lock. A lot depends on the next quarter + 2:14. A poor performance could spell dome for D.J. in reply to djackson9 #
• D.J. Shockley enters game. Gets a nice round of applause from crowd. #
• D.J. Shockley is warming up on the sideline for the #Falcons. #
• @TheFalcoholic Well said. It’ll be interesting to watch Shockley tonight to see if he can rebound from his earlier poor performances. in reply to TheFalcoholic #
• @TheFalcoholic I thought he looked like he was very uncomfortable at times in the pocket. in reply to TheFalcoholic #
• @danielcox might be the first person ever to live-tweet a pee-wee exhibition football game. in reply to danielcox #
• @BSallee_CFN How many of those runs will be earned? in reply to BSallee_CFN #
• Three 3rd downs for the #Ravens, three conversions. #Falcons 3rd down woes continue. #
• RT @ed_price: #Phillies Pedro Martinez has 7 strikeouts through 3 IP. Last time he whiffed 10 was May 26, 2006, at Florida. #
• Our first Fantasy Football Cram Session is posted. Take a look/listen to see how the FanHouse guys draft. http://bit.ly/zIO64 #sblog #

• Local girl (Marietta, Ga.) does good.Congrats Melanie Oudin on your 2nd round upset of Elena Dementieva at the U.S Open. http://bit.ly/vLq0C #
• #Falcons players not playing tonight: William Moore, Jerious Norwood, Todd McClure & John Abraham. (h/t @FalconsJMoore). #
• Ugh RT @grazdanny: Goodell: Considering multiple London games as early as 2010, could foresee a franchise in London someday. #
• RT @fakebaseball: Kuroda returns from DL Sun. His potential remaining GS’s: SD, @SF, PIT, @WAS, @PIT. Grandmother could go 5-0 vs that bunch #
• RT @BSallee_CFN: Any Atlanta followers looking to watch games tonight should check out Hudson Grille in Brookhaven for 680 The Fan’s party. #
• Josh Hamilton has a pinched nerve in his back. He got an injection today and is listed as day-to-day. #Rangers #injuryreport #
• @nderiv Francisco for sure. He’s in a playoff race & will be called upon in a lot of important spots. Probably lean towards Nunez over Jenks in reply to nderiv #
• @FantasyFanHouse and I recorded a Cram Session talking injuries, a potential Berkman platoon & big-name players to dump http://bit.ly/Ymwzn #

• RT @rubbings: New show is up, check it out. This is 1 of the best listens you’re going to find if you’re a #NASCAR fan. http://bit.ly/2MJQ38 #

• Newly acquired Tye Hill will not play in the #Falcons game tomorrow night. #
• Got a few hitters missing from your lineup tomorrow? Read Fantasy Fill-Ins for 5 players to help out. http://bit.ly/db91U #roto #sblog #
• Reading: #FantasyFootball news from @jhalpin37 I grabbed Stewart in the 7th round last night, I hope he gets back soon http://bit.ly/18sMrS #
• Roster in order: Fitz, Barber, Kev Smith, Bowe, Ryan, Braylon, Stewart, Driver, Hasselbeck, Sproles, Boss, Titans, Nicks, Bess, Morris, Elam #
• Kevin Boss & Titans Defense in rounds 11 & 12. #
• Hasselbeck & Sproles were my picks in rounds 9 & 10. #
• @keaneloans Two Rb’s, Two WR’s & 1 Flex (WR/RB) in reply to keaneloans #
• Round 7 & 8: Jonathan Stewart and Donald Driver #
• I think I’m going RB then WR for rounds 7 & 8. I currently have a QB, 2 RB’s and 3 WR’s. #
• Through six rounds team looks llike: Fitz, Marion Barber, Kevin Smith, Dwayne Bowe, Matt Ryan and Braylon Edwards. #
• Round 5 & 6 I took Matt Ryan and Braylon Edwards. #
• Our 1st round if anyone’s interested: AP, Forte, Brees, MJD, Turner, LT, Gore, Fitz, Steven Jackson, A. Johnson, Ca Johnson, Ch Johnson #
• @livestrongray Waiting until 5th or 6th to grab QB. Only ones off the board right now are Brees, Brady, Manning, Rivers & Rodgers in reply to livestrongray #
• @amandarykoff Yes. He was. in reply to amandarykoff #
• Third and fourth round picks were Kevin Smith and Dwayne Bowe. #
• Grabbed Larry Fitzgerald at #8 and Marion Barber at #17 #
• That was my initial gut feeling too. We’ll see how it goes? Who are your top four WR’s @amandarykoff ? #
• FanHouse fantasy football draft starts in 7 minutes. Top 4 WR of Top 8 RB with my first round pick (#8)? #

• @TheCoolestCool No help line needed. Just follow @FantasyFanHouse , @rjwhite1, Snyder_FH and myself for all the help you’ll need. in reply to TheCoolestCool #
• LOL - RT @13junes: Guys in the break room are talking fantasy football. Sounds like D&D for jocks… #
• @kevinmanwarren I hope neither are your #1 QB. Are they? in reply to kevinmanwarren #
• Speaking of round by round draft strategy. @rjwhite1 wrote a great piece every fantasy football GM must read. http://bit.ly/42SUsU #
• @TheMontyShow I’ve been hyping Chris Henry for a while now. I’d love to steal him in the mid to late rounds. in reply to TheMontyShow #
• @BillyMafia At the 8 pick, I’d imagine the best RB’s available would be guys like LT and Chris Johnson. Probably Fitz is off the board. in reply to BillyMafia #
• @keaneloans I don’t plan to select a QB in the first 2 rounds. I think you must enter round 3 with 2 RB’s or a WR/RB. Only two options IMHO in reply to keaneloans #
• @TheMontyShow Agree. I think I rank the big-four WR’s this way: Fitzgerald, Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson & Randy Moss. in reply to TheMontyShow #
• @BizballMaury Ha. Because you will. I honestly see no reason to select a team defense in the first 9 rounds. in reply to BizballMaury #
• Unless you’re in the league against me and reading this. Then I’m going QB/Top DEF with my 1st 2 picks. That should fool them. #
• @joshilles That’s what I’m thinking. Top WR in 1st then best RB available in 2nd. Working on round by round strategy right now. in reply to joshilles #
• @joshilles 4 points per passing TD. in reply to joshilles #
• I’m looking forward 2 our FanHouse fantasy football draft tonight on fleaflicker. I’m picking 8th. Let’s hear your strategies for 8/17 picks #
• @tommy_landry Tony Gonzalez isn’t the 9th best fantasy TE. Come on!?!? If he’s healthy for 16 games I’m predicting 1,000+ & 12 TD’s #Falcons in reply to tommy_landry #
• RT @ed_price: #Rays acquire 2B Sean Rodriguez from #Angels as the player to be named in the Kazmir trade. #
• #Falcons cut tight end Ben Hartsock, cornerback Von Hutchins and defensive end Willie Evans. #
• Adding Tye Hill is a cheap and low-risk way to help the #Falcons secondary. http://bit.ly/1yRg9f #sblog #
• @rebecca_glass And a sweet 2.35 ERA since July 25th http://bit.ly/19YfLE in reply to rebecca_glass #
• RT @mlbbowman: #Braves will add Brooks Conrad, Luiz Valdez and Clint Sammons to their expanded roster on Tuesday. http://tinyurl.com/d5pmn9 #
• For all you IDP fantasy folks. RT @StephStradley: We need the technology 2 clone him. RT @thetexans: DeMeco Ryans has 16 tackles in the game #
• Drew Stubbs brought his average up from .212 to .246 in today’s double header. He went 4-for-9 with a HR in each game. #Reds #
• Joe Mauer averages 102 AB’s/month. To finish 2009 w/ a .400 average (assuming 102 AB’s) he’ll need 2 go 55-for-102 in September(.539) #Twins #
• Rich Harden ugh. The last time you gave up this many ER’s was July 4th. Your 9 K’s were awesome. Your 6 BB’s… not so much. #Cubs #
• Big game from Pettitte tonight. 8 K’s in 8 IP giving up only 2 hits. Won last 3 GS. ERA since last loss on July 25 (7 GS) is 2.35 #Yankees #
• #Falcons safety William Moore will not play in Thur’s preseason game. His hamstring injury is on the same knee he recently had surgery on. #
• #Falcons backup RB Jerious Norwood will likely not play in Thursday’s final preseason game against the #Ravens. #
