Been too long since I have been on here. I can’t wait for spring training, the regular season and beyond. Besides as a Wake Forest fan, not exactly much for me to cheer for now.
All I can look forward to is the Braves and the beach.
As Zac Brown says-
Knee deep in the water somewhere. Blue skies, cool breeze in my hair. My only worry is if the tide will reach my chair.
brian…………that is my only worry as well

Thanks DOB. It is hard to say right now if this is the last season for Alex but i would think they would consider bringing him back on a short one year deal if none of these guys are ready

While the Braves still believes in Mclouth I don’t.If he was on any other winning team his ass would’nt see the the field and they would trade him,but the braves a team who penny pinches want’s to hang on to whatever little hope he has.Go out and get a damn replacement, I’m so tired of this cheap organization.

I spent some time last fall at the Canaveral National Seashore. It was a beautiful National Park North of Cape Kennedy and south of New Smyrna Beach. I went up there to see a little of what fall was like again as we don’t have one in the Keys. I’ll probably go back again – had a great time.

Not a fan of the bone-in steak…
I know the purists say the bone helps the flavor, but if it does, it ain’t significant. Certainly not worth the pain in the ass of cutting around it. My boneless rib-eyes the other night were awesome. Thank you to the guys who rec’d the chimney starter. Why is this not more popular? That thing works incredibly well. So easy, a Nick could do it, is what I’m sayin’.

Between the National Park and the vast acreage that NASA has that can’t be developed, it is a sportsman paradise. I bought a yearly pass to the National Park because I knew I would be coming back up there again. I took my motorcycle too and there are just vast undeveloped areas around Cape Kennedy (or Canaveral) without much traffic to ride. It was so funny the looks I would get when people asked where I was from. I’d just tell them you have to get out of the Keys every now and then or you’ll go crazy.

Easy to say it’s wrong now, uga. But the rest of the league didn’t see it either. Plus, I think a bunch of Tedford products have sucked as professionals. If Alex Smith had the bench time that Rogers did, I think he’s as good or better. He’s never recovered from those first two years of getting hit in the mouth. And, I don’t think anyone can say Rogers would’ve had success in the Niner’s situation.

It’s going to be cold in Chicago too, and home field advatage. We could see snow falling during the game, and that could have an affect on Rogers.
