Bieber Fever. You can’t stop it.
You can’t even hope to contain it.
Try hitting it with a shovel and burying it in the backyard. It usually works for me…

I thought I had Bieber Fever once. Turned out it was the flu. Apparently Bieber Fever is more of a fever/diarrhea thing while the flu is more of a fever/vomiting thing.
FYI in case you were wondering.

If Mather ends up being the back up OF and with Lucas playing some 1B and other positions, I could see this bench….
* Ross
* Hinske
* Mather
* Hernandez

I think Keylargo needs to start the season on the Gwinette blog. Maybe get a September Call up, or maybe not
With all the cuts, I feel fortunate to be held in high enough esteem, that the management is giving me a chance to go down to “Gwinette” to work on my game. I report as soon as I find out where the hell “Gwinette” is.

Murph, I’m with you about Luis. I’ve been scouring the ajc and braves websites every day for updates on him. I couldn’t stop thinking about him. But from the way it sounds, he’s so lucky to be alive and will be able to be up and around and manage a club like he wanted to I guess that’s a blessing.

Salty doubles in a run to cut Braves’ lead to 3-2 in the 7th. Off of LH Sherrill, who issues a walk to Kalish and faces Nava with two on.
Kalish and Nava sounds like some sort of hummus. Or a winery.

It’s going to be awefully hard to gauge a veteran reliever during ST that’s been assured a spot on the roster. I think Sherrill, Linebrink and Proctor(if we decide to keep him) will play dividends during the season.

Do we even need the veteran relievers we acquired with all of the young guys we have in the system? Were they just trying to replace the experience they lost with Wagner?

watching the espn3.com feed with the evil Dave O’Brien (actually, he’s a very good broadcaster, compared to many others) and Nomar. Lot of Soxage in the booth, since the ersatz DOB calls Sox games for NESN and Nomar is … well, he’s Nomar. But I’m stuck watching this idiotic commercial with whoever this Scoop Jackson character is.
