		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Schafer&#039;s Wafers&lt;/strong&gt; -- &lt;i&gt;&quot;your 5:39am is a way out of line.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

Sez you, who in this case I do not believe.

&quot;Not a coincidence&quot; -- now that&#039;s out of line, imo.</description>

		<description>Caveman, you dog, good to see you back here. Don&#039;t be such a blinkin&#039; stranger.

uga, I&#039;m with you. I think I&#039;ve been a leetle early on some moves, but, not so early it will hurt too bad should they go sideways. Like you, also, I love me some GE, large and big time...on another note, I had to give up playing golf, unfortunately; the knees just won&#039;t take it, anymore. Damn near broke my heart, but whatchagonnado?</description>

		<description>So now braves fans feel comfortable to doubt Opie after 1 start. He pretty much owns the braves and stankees. Yes he is a headcase but he&#039;s our headcase.  He didn&#039;t get his proper work in Spring Training and was misused in the WBC by Castillo the brave.  I say by his 3rd or 4th start (hopefully sooner) you will see the improvement.  Would I have preferred Lowe, of course. However, you go to battle with the soldiers you have. Besides, if 1 bad inning doesn&#039;t define the 09&#039; braves pen, then 1 horrendous start does not define Opie. Hope you guys can handle the Nats.  They are pretty ticked off.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;TnBrian&lt;/strong&gt; (12:45 am): &lt;i&gt;&quot;I don’t think it was a coiencedence that Adenhart pitched the biggest game of his life just hours before being killed.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

So you&#039;re saying that the whole series of events was planned?  So who was on the grassy knoll, genius?

Were all the As&#039; hitters involved, laying down against him just to set him up for tragedy?  Were both drivers in on it?  Did the other passengers conspire to place him in one of the death seats?  Did the Fullerton Fire Dept. rescuers deliberately delay just long enough in getting him to the hospital?

Or are you merely saying it was part of Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy&#039;s master plan for the eternal salvation of all true believers?

		<description>3:00 am&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;   &quot;This playing baseball every three nights or whatever the heck this schedule is…is killing me. Need my baseball fix soon. Had to watch Andruw and the Rangers today to keep my sanity.&quot;

Me too, and good idea.  If the game tomorrow is rained out I&#039;m gonna have to do yardwork.  I&#039;d like to watch Andruw get some good hits.  I might even scout the Mets and the Oliver Perez meltdown just for fun.</description>

		<description>DirtyDawg asks:  &quot;but I still ask the same question of the board. Why is it that at least two of the Braves important properties and players couldn’t get their hitting problems turned around by the Braves hitting instructors - either at the major league level or otherwise.&quot;

Well, you can lead a horse to water, but you can&#039;t make him drink.   Professional ball players in any sport are not known for being the most receptive to coaching.  Sometimes you have to really hit bottom before you&#039;re willing to make significant changes.  I&#039;m sure I&#039;ve heard that somewhere before.  

And I believe that while Jeff did see The Hitting Whisperer in Texas, it has been reporting that he&#039;s been working A LOT with TP to implement his changes.</description>
