well the biggest problem is that you are using Apple crapple
MicroSOFT computers are well, SOFT! They can’t handle the pressure. (even though I am using one right now, it’s not better than my Mac)
You can always download the others,….., IE9
YUCK!!!! Any IE browser is crap. Don’t even use it. It’s not even a decent browser…

He’s gotta get at least one, impact prospect for Matt Garza.
And if the Braves trade for him, it’d be Delgado or Teheran. Don’t see FW doing a trade that includes one of those 2.

Living in the south or near Atlanta would have multiple perks….
However I have a great job here in NY. I love traveling so I always tell myself I may not stay in NY since there’s so many other places with better weather I could live or retire eventually.. retirement is 25+yrs away though..

nolie, I didn’t watch the Toronto start – but everyone said the curveball was much better. Tough to remember how young he is. Full year younger than Delgado. But I do agree, we need to see some results at the major league level. If he’s still with the organization in April of 2013 and healthy, Wren has to give him an extended look. Heck, may need to do that now.

I’m was glad to see Fredi take the wraps off of Francisco and let him steal a big base in the ninth.
If Fredi gives him the green light there is no telling what he could do.

its tough trying to break all these young guys in at about the same time, they are all gonna have troubles with pitch counts , damage controll etc. good for the future if they get er done, but frustrating in the present. just kinda down about losing BB, he has been much better than I thought he would be. at least Randy and Julio have somewhat better mechanics though Randall is a bit more violent than I like to see

Braves have pitching prospects to deal – Gilmartin, Spruill, Graham – just don’t have the position prospects, imo. Unless teams are big on Bethancourt and Lipka’s potential. And I’m not sure how much the aforementioned are getting ya.

Track this Mauricio Cabrera kid in Danville, nolie. Next good one. Big signing out of the DR in Summer 2010. 18 years old, turns 19 this Fall.
July 2nd coming up, and I think the Braves will be more active than in recent years. Even though surprisingly they spent almost Top 10 on the International Market. $2.9 million max. with the new CBA.

You ain’t lying about hot and humid. I laugh when I hear folks from places in the Northeast talk about “Hotlanta,” when it almost never gets as uncomfortable in Atlanta as it does during a heat wave in the major cities of the Northeast. 99 degrees here today, sunny and humid, and the “heat island” effect of all the concrete in NYC makes it feel nearly that hot out right now. Just walked to get something to eat, and it’s steamy as can be out.

Also:
The one ball that was definitely not struck well, when the Yankees needed a base hit most, was the inning-ending double-play grounder that Rodriguez hit in the bottom of the seventh, with the Yankees trailing by 6-5 and with runners on first and third.
Afterward, Rodriguez beat himself up for hitting a pitcher’s pitch, a sinker about three inches off the plate.
“No sugarcoating it,” Rodriguez said. “That was just not an acceptable at-bat right there.”
