Only reason Abreu is a distraction is cause he’s in line to lose a ton of playing time. He would be outright released and wouldn’t cost much at all to sign.

nolie, if she would have really loved him she would have drafted him with her 1st pick.

They know who they are, nolie. Being the awesome person that I am, I’ve forgiven them too. Every freakin’ year. jeffrey stole him last year.

yeah if Chippa ever gets healthy enuff to get to the park

tiger297

just trying to be helpful…I figured with me off the blog this much sissy and t-hawking would be married by now (or at least shacked up)

jed

if we dont sign someone, we could end up with hinske as our primary left-fielder for most of the season. i just dont see chipper staying healthy, and if health is an issue, i dont expect much production. hope i’m wrong, but so far, i see no reason for wren to be optimistic.

I’m having some Win For Ten banners made, tiger. We were hoping you would fly them over Turner Field this year.

Sorry for taking your man. I waited until the 13th or 14th round

tiger297

6:27 pm

Bat – I’m not rated to do that…I mean I can do it now but no lower than 4K feet or 3 miles which probably doesnt help much

tiger297

Samantha…sorry to hear that. I do need to bring you to see nolie he will teach you about psycho repellent

how disheartening, Fredi is actually considering the possibility of Constanza over Durango :?

Samantha

Tiger do you think its safe. Where I am layed up I might be too easy pickens for him. I thought he already was psycho?

Paiml – 217/283/289 -2HRs in 402 ABs at Birmingham (AA) last year. Notvexactly an answer to Chipper’s injury, or anything else. He’s 26.

nahhh he isn’t psycho…might be one of the more least psycho folks on the blog

I heard Noleee needed a girlfriend and I am very vulnerable right now.

tiger297

March 24th, 2012
6:43 pm

now if you pay for me to get the appropriate rating i will be more than happy to fly it for you (although it would probably be cheaper for you to pay the person who flys the cheetah flag to fly this one for a game or two)

tiger297

March 24th, 2012
6:46 pm

Samantha – what % of folks on the blog do you think aren’t in need of a girlfriend?

tiger297

March 24th, 2012

from twitter:

He didn’t face hitters, so that’s troubling. RT

@SteveMac03: I hear Teheran gave up 3HRs in his simulated game today @ajcbraves #braves

Well we were hoping the blog folks would donate their time and talents.

Its been awhile since I went sky diving, maybe I’ll make a jump and trail a banner into the stadium. Hell if George Herbert Walker Bush can still jump surely I can.

Did you think I should tell the Braves front office first to just surprise them?

noleee

I’ve had all the girlfriends I’m ever gonna have. too much trouble….

nolie – who is too much trouble you or them?

noleee

better let them know B4hand Bat, Homeland Security might think you’re some deranged terrorist and shoot you down

regardless the lack of a desire for a girlfriend might make you more appealing

Samantha

I dont know Tiger but you know how irrestible I am. And when I am layed up like this I am easy pickens. I just thought it would make it easier for poor nolieee.

noleee

Bat Masterson

A wedding dress? Come on man, I want this to be classy. I was thinking of dressing like Geronimo, or if that’s not cool with the PC crowd, maybe William Wallace.

Another spring filled with injuries and mediocrity. After a massive choke it does mean something.

Sports Illustrated is dead on.

Guys who hit 40 who have “accidental” knee tears — if Jones plays 80 (full) games I’d be surprised. 2012 is being forfeited for the sake of a farewell tour. Even the Braves knew when it was time to cut bait on Henry Aaron and Dale Murphy. Hopefully the larger crowds will equate to more payroll room. On second thought, we’re owned by Liberty Media. Forget it.

Samantha – honestly I can’t say how irresistible you are…I’m quite shallow and physical feature are of utmost importance and since I’ve never seen you I can’t opine. But you seem a fun chat and that works great for the blog ;)

tiger297

March 24th, 2012
6:58 pm

Bat – the wedding dress comment was a reference to the guy that jumped on the field last year in a wedding dress and didnt get arrested and got front page of the AJC

did you see the end of braveheart? Would prefer not to dress like Mr. Wallace

Soph – How many catchers were taken before McCann was taken? It was several rounds and catchers taken. I’m sorry, but the managers were after production, not picking by their hearts.

I wanted Uggla, but Murph took him on the pick right before mine.

Still, satisfied with my team. Best pitching, no doubt.

Just for the information, I had three Braves on my list; Prado, Uggla and Freeman. But as the draft proceeded, I lost all three by not taking them earlier. But I was after a good team…not a Braves laden team.

This wil be a fun year!!

Just got done running and wow, I can’t believe how lost I got. I thought the track I was running around would just loop in a circle, back to where I started. Nope. I got about three and a half miles or more out and I knew somethin’ wasn’t right. It took me about two hours just to get back to my car. I was so pissed.

I’m sure he would Bat, he is a lawyer afterall and that’s what they do….

Jimmy

Soph – I don’t want to come over hard on you. Just saying all those in the league are Braves fans and McCann lasted several rounds. There is a reason for that.

Don’t hate on me. :-)

noleee

March 24th, 2012
7:12 pm

since those teams are based on offense why would the annual silver slugger catcher be expected to last a few rounds? there are only perhaps two better hitters and there are some health questions about them. :roll:
