I like the taste of Killians, but then, I like a beer that’s a little bitter. Not much, though. I can’t stand those really dark porters and black ales. But now my favorite beers in the whole world are the German Krystal Weizens. Man, those,l in a tall Weizen glass with a squeeze of lemon, are heaven. Can’t hardly find them over here in the States, though. I gained a LOT of pounds from drinking that stuff in Germany.

I remember you talking about Durango, quite a while ago, Coach.
That was a very descriptive post – thanks.

Wow! Come on people. If I taste bitter when I drink Killians, who are you to say different? Are you my damn taste buds? If so, I’m thoroughly impressed that you can post on a blog.

I’m enjoying see my alma mater just tie it up with the women’s defending national champs. First time in the NCAA tourney.. and UAlbany is doing well.

Name one other team that has EIGHT legitimate starters and get back to me
——————————————–
anybody that would even bother to look up 8 potential/legitimate starters on another team deserves blogger of the month award…..if there was such a thing
there is always a couple of injuries with staffs these days and there are going to be a one that stinks it up completely for the season…seems there always is….so 5 out of 8 ain’t bad
Tom O'Hawke

T, I only drink Bud Light when nothing else is available. Like sometimes, at the Ted, around the 6th inning, they run out of everything but Bud Light. Then, I drink that stuff.

Brava said homeless are useing the tents outside the RF fence to live in. It is great the BRAVES put the tents up for them. What they should do now is put those little plastic windows in the tents so the homeless folk could watch the games.

Just me, but I would love to see Medlen pitch on opening day. Just love that guy’s attitude. I know that isn’t going to happen, though.
O'Brava

No, George, you misread what I posted. I said “homerless people” were living in those tents. It was a joke. Sorry.
Tom O'Hawke

“homerless people” living under the Braves’ tents?
Great line.

You never know, O’Brava. Hudson is out until late April or May. Hanson & Jurrjens are still shaking the rust off. That leaves Beachy, Minor and Medlen.
There’s a good chance that it will be one of those 3. If Medlen keeps pitching the way he has been – why not?
O'Brava

Oh, a Brain Scab. Bet that’s just as pleasant as a hemorrhoid.
No duh, Killian’s is NOT a true Irish Red. It’s brewed in Golden, CO.

I don’t know whether to be flattered or insulted, Tom.
Tom O'Hawke

“What is that futures game about? Is that the Braves playing against some of their minor league guys?”
Word on the streets is that a few Regulars will play against the AAA team at Coolray Field (30 Minutes away from where I live at) 2 days before the Braves Begin the season in The Rotten Apple at Bailout Ballpark

Yes, Tom. That’s Cool Ray Field.
I used to work for the county commish that got the Braves AAA team to Gwinnett. He ran for commissioner for that very purpose – get AAA ball in Gwinnett County. And, being an Atlanta native, he wanted the Braves AAA. His mug is on a bronze plaque at Cool Ray Field. Once they got settled in there, he finsihed out his term and didn’t run again.
Guy was my favorite boss ever. I still talk to him from time to time, too, and I haven’t worked for him in over 10 years.

I wish some of the players would clean up some, like shave.
I wish some of these players would stop wearing peewee herman looking shoes. Google peewee’s shoes if ya don’t know.
Medlen needs to be in the rotation. Teheran and Delgado need another year, or at least half year in AAA. Why not?
Tom O'Hawke
March 17th, 2012

I don’t know what that does for attendance, but, I would imagine, having the AAA team so close has to be very convenient for the Braves.

And two Italian beers MORETTI and PERONI, but I can’t find PERONI in America anymore only a cheap version called PERONI NASTRO AZZURO, but under the PERONI name in smaller letters. I call it NASTY AZZURO, vile stuff. They’re selling it in America as PERONI. It’s a lie. I’ve had both in Italy. PERONI is a fine beer, that other stuff is disgusting. MORETTI is O.K. though.

The Braves need an owner like the dude in Detroit (the pizza mogul) who is not afraid to bust the budget once in a while and put together an awesome team. He knows he will get that money back tenfold when he (or his heirs) sells the team. Major leauge franchises are a great investment for these billionaires.
The worst scenerio for a MLB team is to have corporate ownership. The Yankees (pre-Steinbrenner) were owned by CBS for about 10 – 15 years–in the mid-60s to the mid-70’s. Those years were the WORST in the Yankees history. They went from 1965 through 1975 without sniffing a pennant or even a division title.
Alas, the Braves are in that same situation with Liberty Mutual. Plus, they are saddled with that horrible regional TV deal that another corporate screw-up Time-Warner. These guys don’t know anything about sports and don’t really care.
