Man, he can’t come back. .350BA or not. That ship has sailed here. You gotta reach down low, like Kenny Lofton low to find a worse Brave in recent memory.

It was surreal, but, Harper totally won by stealing home, and by Hamels comments the other day on DOBs other blog, I think he knows it.

One thing a little unusual about tonight’s AS game. The little town of Leesburg, GA(near Albany) has 3 favorite sons featured prominently. Phillip Phillips, the AI winner, sung before the game, Luke Bryan with the anthem, and Buster Posey, the NL starting catcher are all 3 from Leesburg. Sounds like some “good genes” in the water there!

great blog by our blogmeister DOB and good discussion. Some thoughts:
1. It is not a slam on Chipper for people to say that Mike Schmidt was the best hitting 3B of all time. Chipper is a top 5 all time 3B and top 5 all time switch hitter. He, in my book, makes the best charging, barehanded play I have ever seen 3B make and Chipper makes it look routine. I think Chipper’s legacy will stand just fine on its own
2. As far as Melky goes, amazing how play can improve when one gets in good shape.
3. Kenny Lofton is the worst Brave of your recent memory Count? The blog would have a field day recounting the worst Braves players or worst player season they remember since Kenny Lofton was a Brave. Raul Mondesi? Chris Woodward? Greg Norton? Proctor?

You guys can talk shyt about Victorino all you want, but just remember that last year it was him and Charlie Manuel that caught our player (I think it was Freeman) from falling into their dugout and possibly hurting himself really bad. That was a class move on both of their parts. I doubt that anyone in our dugout would have done the same because every time an opposing player come close to our dugout, nobody moves on the bench. I would take Victorino in a second.

Kenny Lofton actually did hit .333 with 164 hits.
I think it was a mix of his attitude and watching him play everyday. I think the no music in the clubhouse started during Lofton’s time here?
