Norton’s got a sweet swing, right behind LaRoche. I hear he’s going to use McCann’s bat for some better pop. With Infante and Prado leaving the bench, Norton is the key player now. Don’t give up on Norty—-see what happened to Frenchy??

I hate myself because I can’t be like him. Any personal growth I might attain through self-reflection will only serve to reaffirm my abysmal inferiority. As you might imagine, I find it agonizingly difficult to even contemplate living from one day to the next. Stupidly, and wholly in spite of myself, I trudge on.

Diaz has been on fire, he is one of the wierdest players i have seen , cause some nights its like what the hell were you swinging at????????? lol Diaz is valuble no matter what. As a pinch hitter he is hitting over 320. and he kills leftys. We have to find a spot for him in the lineup vs lefties every game next year.

He came in with the fifth-highest average in the majors vs. lefties (.392)

Yup, I saw that Olney article too. He failed to mention Lowe as part of that 12.5 percent club. In 2010, Lowe and Chipper will account for 30% of the Braves payroll. If we have the same payroll we did this year, that is.
