Is Samuel Jackson a MF-ing beer you drink on a MF-ing plane?

Reading the box score over on mlb.adsgalore.braves.moreads.com I saw Bowman worked himself into the line up. When is O’Brien going to get a chance to take some cuts?

Don’t try to draw any conclusion from the first ST game, not to mention “worries. DC
my “worries” (concerns is likely a better word) have been expressed during the winter, today’s game had nothing to do with it.

DOB– more important than Kimbrel’s fastball though that is important is that according to the producer of Boardwalk Empire, Paz de la Huerta will be back for the second season. When asked if the nude scenes were difficult, she said Steve Buscemi was naked as well. Steve added that he definitely did not have a problem with the scenes with Paz (Lucy in the show).

Not a bad start for the Bravos today. Lot of guys had good days! However, you can not walk that many batters and be a closer. I don’t care how hard you throw.
I hope Billy Wagner stays in shape. I envision Chipper, Ross and Moylan making a trip to Virginia during the All-Star break and begging Billy the Kid to make one last stand. And he finally relents–seeing one last chance for that elusive ring!

Here’s some things we know, or what we imagine about this team – we ain’t scoring a ton of runs, we’re not a speedy team, and we don’t have starters that’ll throw many, if any, complete games. We need a good pen, especially a solid closer. I’ll leave it at that since it’s the first practice game of the year.

Ed Lucas made an error at 2B, didn’t touch 3B and had 2 RBI singles.
His stats in AAA indicate he may be a good offensive player, and he plays a lot of positions. Intriguing player.
TnBrian

Tomahawkin, I guess I’m just a tough crowd. I really like what this team has right now. Plenty of good pitching, a lineup that should’ve been improved even without a Dan Uggla (now it’s obviously stronger), and they should just have more confidence coming off a playoff season.
My concern is and has been since this years team was constructed is the pen and defense. Kimbrel and Venters don’t instill a ton of confidence in me because of inexperience and wildness. Damn, think about how many games are decided by the late inning relief guys? Errors will happen, but some we’ve made are unexceptable.

TnBrian
February 26th, 2011
9:42 pm
I should’ve explained what I meant saying our lineup should’ve been improved even before Uggla. For one, Jones appears healthy and Mac has dropped some pounds. Plus the fact I think Heyward should be even better, Freeman isn’t a health scare like Glaus and surely McLouth can’t go anywhere but up from his last few seasons with us. Can he?
Anyways, yeah, Uggla changes a lot in our lineup I think.One guy, one bat, but it’s powerful and a guy like McCann or Heyward won’t feel like they have to hit 500 foot bombs every other at bat.

Tomahawkin, Heyward is a solid RF, Freeman looks slick at 1st, Gonzalez is apparantly better at SS than what we saw half the year with us, Prado I bet will make a solid LF.
Sad, but that’s about all I feel good about on the field. Other spots are shakey. That’s not good. Not at all.

“Braves will be much improved” Ward
In what area? Not 2nd. Not 3rd. Not Catcher. Not SS. Apparantly not center either since it looks like Nate has that job. Nowhere is it going to be improved except for probably LF.
They could tighten up on it with maybe more drills, etc., but it won’t be improved imo.
