Still…2 months to get ready (I recall he said that not that long ago). So even if he was signed tomorrow, he would not be available until the end of June. And he wouldn’t come cheap.
if he doesn’t get healthier and pitch better he prolly ain’t gettin’ traded anywhere except as a possible salary dump with almost nothing coming back. In fact I’m not sure any other team would take on his salary at all
like I said before, our bullpen is on pace to pitch 648 innings, and although I know that won’t happen, it should jar a few heads into realizing how quickly the numbers can get out of hand.
Out starting pitching is the KEY to success. How they roll is how the team follows suit. But yea, our offense is on the ball. Looking forward to seeing the new/old uni’s tonight.
All, getting ready for the Braves game, and NASCaR tonight. Should be a fun night for sports. Would watch hockey more if the channels would show the games? All, peace my friends……..”Go!!!!!Braves!!!!!”
When I hear “on pace”, I keep reminding myself that we’ve only played 7 games. It’s the proverbial small sample size. But, like I said earlier, I worry too.
It’s messin with the blog screen on my end nolie. The URL snakes all the way across the page into the grey border. Reduces font to microscopic proportions
me? poetry? nope. and considering my favorite poem is a rather lengthy 167 year old dark and kinda depressing story about a person driven mad by a bird, I’m not sure any poetry I would post on the blog would be super cheery..
Chipper is available to pinch hit tonight and hopes to be back in the lineup tomorrow….though i’m sure word got to you guys long ago!
Also i stand corrected on something. Braves will wear cream unis tonight, then go back to the home whites with 42s for Jackie Robinson Day tomorrow. But normally they’ll be in the creams for all home Saturday and Sunday games.
You just told me you supported me and loved me and i shouldnt be worried about what other people thought, Obviously you have changed your mind about me. Sorry I bothered you.
I have to give an official blog thank you to Tom O’ Hawke. I was able to get my antenna to catch Peachtree thanks to step by step instructions that he sent me.
Thanks to everyone else that provided info yesterday too. I’m a happy girl.
Congratulations to Gonzo on the upcoming birth of his 3rd child, wow, way to go Gonzo and Mrs. Gonzo, won’t miss his bat torturing us for the rest of this series. We’ll see how Juan the Butcher does at 3rd, make me nervous. I see Chipper back tomorrow, hope so although I’d love to see MattE get play somewhere against the lefty but I know you don’t sit Jason so oh well. Go Braves!

The truth is Maddux was already a star when he came to the braves, Mazzone developed Glavine and Smoltz into great pitchers. With his tough workout program he prevented any of them from breaking down. After he left Smoltz and Glavine developed arm problems because they stopped using his workout programs. For fourteen years the braves had no major arm problems, the last six years, major arm problems every year.
Nice to read the story of a couple of women robbed at gunpoint in one of the parking lots about the time the game ended last night. Turner Field is not exactly in the most desirable section of town. All they need is to start having people robbed at gunpoint to drive the ole’ attendance up!
Hey, Carroll. Thanks for the material. You are my favorite writer, with DOB coming in a distant second. He tries, but he just can’t capture the feel of the game as you do (he’s also a little too sensitive sometimes). Keep up the good works!!
