Andrew:
Prado goes to 1st. Infante takes over at 2nd and inherits the cleanup slot in the batting order from Glaus, since we all know how much Cox hates juggling his lineup.
Remember when he used to do that with Wally Joyner on the nights he rested Gallaraga?
Halladay, Hamels & Happ are already quaking in their unis at the prospect of facing a Braves’ batting order with Omar Infante batting cleanup.

Detroit might not be “cosmopolitan” enough for Johnny Damon and his wife.
What a drama queen…and I mean Johnny.
He’d better take that line back or he’ll be hearing many, many booos the second he struggles in Motown.

But what happens if, while Glaus is hurt, McCann’s eyeballs dry out, Chipper oversleeps, Prado and Escobar collide at second base, and the pitching staff spends the whole night at Smith’s Olde Bar?

Anyone seen the U2 360 tour (you west coast Braves fans)? Sorry if I missed prior reviews. I watched “Rattle & Hum” on a VH1 channel earlier and realized they have 22 more years of catalog since, and was wondering what is featured on the current tour. Not that I doubt it is well worth seeing. Just wondering.

Did that kid say Cult? There have been some whackos but that takes a big bite of the cake. This is my reading material and I read this blog completely most nights or my lunch hour. The subject matter is good information about the braves and enlightening information about other subjects. No one wants to hear his silly foolish dribble. Please, go somewhere as suggested.
I truly hope JJJ is okay and can’t imagine the lineup without him. I don’t have confidence in Hudson or Lowe.
Baby, if 40 is nursing home time then something is wrong. At my age I am not near that stage so I suggest you get off that wagon. Didn’t you know the new 40 is 25? Statistics are proven that with the modern knowledge, lifestyle changes and nutritional improvements we will live longer and be healthier. That is what scary to the powers that be. What are they going to do when we all turn 80 and still driving and living.

Just an old Dude who got disconnected from the band. I saw them at the Omni in 1985-Unforgettable Fire tour and again in 1987 at Foxboro Stadium. So you’re probably right as I’ve not really listened since the Leave behind record.

I don’t know that it has to go all Terminator on us MBF. We just need to be certain to incorporate Isamov’s three Laws of Robotics into all of them.
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
