my oldest got a diaz jersey at the start of the season he tore up his knee
little one got a medlen shirt the year he needed TJ and
I got a chipper jersey the christmas prior to his latest ACL

No doubt the starters need to go longer. After seven games, bullpen innings are pretty close to accounting for three of the seven so far.

nolie – no but you can customize anything only issue is you can only use 2 numbers…so you could do o’ventbrel with 12 for the year.
But I wouldn’t want that b/c eric seems to be a bit of a d-bag

Just looking at the Gwinnett boxscore from last night, it showed that Joey T has already made 5 errors there this season…has he really made that many already, or is that a misprint?

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you’ve been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you’ve been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows
And everybody knows that it’s now or never
Everybody knows that it’s me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah when you’ve done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe’s still pickin’ cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows
And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it’s moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there’s gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows
And everybody knows that you’re in trouble
Everybody knows what you’ve been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows it’s coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows
Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows

Hello everyone! Just incase should the Braves consider Oswalt. A solid 7innings guy, and can save the arms of the bull-pen? Just wondering?

The only reason to have Oswalt, would be for long innings, and if you could get him cheap?

My view is Braves don’t have a starter that can go past 5 innings, so far, and Oswalt wouldn’t be a bad idea for a vetran pitcher.

Cab- Since Oswalt owned the Braves, just thought of his innings when healthy. Still would be interesting on who will pick him up. It would aslo be nice not to see him pitch against the Braves.
