Btw I was glad Frank Wren got the extension. I made very sure to indicate that was my desire when I filled out my Liberty Media shareholder proxy vote this year.

Wondering when the blog will give up on McLouth this year. He could be our next Greg Norton. Hope i’m wrong.

#Braves’ Venters struck out Fernando Martinez to start 3rd

I wonder if at any point we’ll get a sense that Nate is feeling pushed by Schafer. Schafer is younger, faster, throws better…but can he hit? Can either of them hit?

DOB I am watching on MLB and noticed that none of JJ’s pitches touched 90 and did not even get past 86. If I remember correctly JJ’s fastball is usually in the 90’s during the regular season. Do pitchers usually hold back the first few ST games or is it something else?

Texas…his velocity will come. But given his strike ball ratio I’d say that’s a pretty good day’s work for JJ…something to build on.

Hello there denizens, baseball is back!!

And, just to put the icing on my cake, cycling classics season started today with a verry impressive win by Sebastiaan Langeveld at the Omloop het Nieuwsblad. Yes, life is looking good again from a grey and cold Netherlands.

Thanks for all the hours you’re putting in DOB, Carroll, still greatly appreciated across the big blue.

Watching Braves game with Mets announcers on computer and Yankees and Phils on the tube. Of course, AJ with Yanks, but did you guys know Pete Orr playing for Phillies. If Petey is on their final roster, their pitching will not save them.

mclouth’s OBP so far is .500. Can’t argue with that.

Okay, I’m sorry but you can’t see “Costanza” and not think of the stocky, stingy bald man from Seinfeld. If Costanza ever makes the Braves, we’re gonna have to get used to the jokes.
