Haha! Yes, it was actually my husband’s job that brought us up here. Income is a good thing; allows us to afford the Extra Innings package on Directv, so I can catch all these Braves games!
I just can’t figure out why KC would do that. Andt it’s not just this year, he has another over-paid year still on the contract. Would KC pay half of that? I doubt it and I don’t see the Braves paying him 12 mil next year. I could be wrong about that, but I know for a fact that I don’t want them paying him 12 mil next year.
Frank wren said we have a limited payroll, so if we do trade for him you can guarantee that KC will pay alot of that contract. I would rather want Melky.
Bobby’s, what’s the matter, are you too stupid to figure out the italics thing? Just kidding.
No, I hear you. I think the thing that seperates the Marlins, is that they seem to have a pretty damn good grasp on analyzing talent. Whether it’s their own guys they draft and develop, or the guys the snag from other teams in the trades they make.
Chipper used a light-brown bat left-handed, IIRC, and a black bat right-handed. I see he’s now using a black bat. Is he using the right-handed bat from the left-side? If so, for how long has this been going on.
I noticed last night and tonight that Chipper is using his black bats when hitting left handed. The black bats are the ones that he normally uses right handed and are lighter. Any idea if Chipper is feeling a little weak from the left side?
lol N8…sucks when you hit submit then look at the screen and see the error… oh well.
One more thing I forgot to mention that EPSN actually did was that when you have veterans around, then kids grown up watching them. They made a comment about how all the Atlantans have been watching Chipper over all these years.
That’s how you create a fan base, a la my sports marketing class in college. How many different kids have the kids in Florida grown up watching? I’m sure that contributes to attendance.
I noticed last night that Chipper is using a bat that looks like a candy cane from the left side and a barbers pole from the right side. Do you know if he is OK? He normally doesnt use that bat unless he is getting a haircut
Frenchy really needs to keep his hands in. He pulls them in when he starts his swing anyway, so why not just start them there in the 1st place? Keep your hands back and stay inside the ball Jeff….
Bravesman,
Yup, big cricket fan, originally from India. Amazing win for Pakistan. I picked them over the chokers from South Africa and then Sri Lanka. Pak bowling is again pretty good with some of the younger bowlers coming thru. I hope they are able to play in IPL.
Afridi was awesome in that game. You have no idea what i had to go through to watch that game. Dish network said i have to pay like 250 bucks for that channel. I had to find it online
