Well McFann, you just say stuff like “shoot!” or “fiddlesticks!” (I’m not sure if you’ve ever actually said fiddlesticks, but no eyebrows would be raised if you did). It’s quite refreshing.

Before I make a comment designed to annoy her in the near future, I would like to congratulate cabravesfan for kicking my posterior in our football pool today. Well played, darling…

Well if I were a yankees fan I would be happy since their rookie hazing today was reported on and photographed today…

Robin looks like Corky Miller. Rookie? Dang.
Maybe the Braves didn’t do theirs today…maybe they’re doing it IN new york.

jeffrey d–
Oh, there was a big scene on here a while back when I said “fiddlesticks”! It was horrible.
It’s quite refreshing.
My pleasure!
Haha…I’d get walloped if I used some of the language I’ve seen on here. 
Dangit…I gotta shut down.
I’ve had a lovely time at your party!
Night, all! (I keep thinking the Braves are off tomorrow…thank goodness they’re not!)

jeffrey d – you are correct my friend – what I meant to say was that the decision made in the bottom of the ninth inning today was atrocious (full disclosure – I did not see, or hear anything about, the ninth inning, but I’m sure it’s true)
RHR

I’m just dying to see Hanson and Medlen … don’t care about the rest, who are the rookies besides them anyway? Do Brooks Conrad and Reid Goreicki count?

What happens during a wallop? Is that kinda like the leave it to beaver version of ho sit down?

Don’t worry…I won’t get walloped if I would just get off the computer!

VJ – I don’t believe anything big happened in the 9th.
And I was kidding about that, btw. I think it was last Saturday when I was watching the Georgia/USC game while on here. Georgia scored a TD around the same time that McCann doubled or something. The conversation went like this
McFann – Whoo! That’s my mann! RBI double!!
Soph – Yeah Big Mac! Sweet swing!
jeffrey d – TOUCHDOWN!!!

Wonder if the Cardinals will sign Holliday long term which might leave Ludwick available? Medlen/KJ/prospect(s) might work. Don’t have a clue what he’s making next year, but I know he wasn’t overly priced. Let Hudson & Soriano walk, sign Gonzo & LaRoche and you keep Vazquez.

jeffrey d – I knew you were kidding…
Do you remember when you asked a certain blogger if her backup quarterback could play for William and Mary – and her obnoxious response? I believe that she would trade Aaron Corp for R J Archer in a heartbeat right now (15 – 20 in 3 quarters, despite being hurt)
Sorry, darling, but, hey, karma’s a b%$#h
Soph
September 20th, 2009

Back up the crash truck, crank up the resuscitator and charge the paddles. The BRAVES are officially on life-support. Three losses in the next dozen games probably finishers any hope of a WC. Two gets us to 90 and a potential tie with the ROCKIES. The next two weeks will be interesting. It’s great to have some hope this late in the season again. GO BRAVES. We’re not dead yet.

Sounds like that’s grounds for a wallopin’

VJ/Jeffrey-
Obviously my analysis of a certain quarterback was based on faulty information…right now I would trade Aaron Corp for some used shoulder pads and Greg Norton
Soph

Wow. Poor Corp…

If Greg Norton plays QB like he bats, every ball he threw would spike about 4 feet in front of him

Vazquez for D-Lee? It would suck to lose Vazquez. But…..

cabravesfan – it was not your analysis of Mr. Corp that was at issue – it was your willingness to take a gratuitous shot at my alma mater (the second oldest institution of higher learning in this particular country) to prop up yours.
jeffrey d
September 20th, 2009
10:35 pm
It’s Greg Norton…he’d probably throw it behind him
TnBrian(Vazquez ace 2010)

PWHjort, the Cubs would be stupid to not want Javy in a deal for Lee which is why I don’t like the idea to start with.

wasn’t a shot at W&M so much as it was at D-Iaa in general but I do stand corrected

How about Vazquez for Prince Fielder? Or, if we go for an outfielder, Matt Kemp? Andre Ethier? Ryan Braun?
I don’t see the Brewers trading Braun – apparently he’s Mr. Milwaukee. That’d be like expecting the Braves to trade McCann or Hanson. Or Francoeu…uh, wait, nevermind.
Soph
September 20th, 2009
10:58 pm
Ugh, well we’ll need the batting machine for Corp then. He’s going to be needed off the bench.

jeffrey d
