Mixxo, totally agree with you about the chick in the AT&T commercial.
I watch that everytime to see her do the shoulder move. Also, to hear spacey Ace Freley sing “Back in the New York” groove.

The names change but the results are the same for the bottom third of our lineup. Gawd we suck once you get past those top six guys.

That article was good.
Someone will over pay for Dempster or Grienke. Then when one of those are gone someone will really over pay for the other one.
Never fails that emotions take over for level headed thinking. IE – Texera trade and way back what we did to Detroit getting Smoltz for Alexander. Many more of those examples than the best one for us and what we gave up when we got McGriff.
Just hope we do it intelligently!!!!

Since we’re talking about the AT&T commercial, I keep wondering how you go from Colorado to Texas to Louisiana to … New York! Isn’t there a whole bunch of the U.S. that you just skipped? And with some good “location” tunes like “Georgia on My Mind” and “Going to Carolina” and “Streets of Philadelphia”.

Sheets is looking good. If he continues this and stays healthy when do the braves look to sign him for next year?

Both base hits in this inning were curves up in the zone. Gotta get away from that.

Tomorrow brian.
Not really but I hope he does well. The key is going to be how he recovers before the next start.
Along those lines though I’m not a fan of the young guns we currently have down in the minors that were untouchable last year. You don’t hear it as much this year with them but…

Glad we got out of that inning without a run scoring. Here’s a moment of zen for you. The first two plate umps in this series were very inconsistant with their ball/strike calls. C.B. is actually doing a decent job back there so far today.

@Tomahawkin: yeah, isn’t it interesting how girls can turn us on with such cute subtle little gestures? No need for a brazen striptease, just a little shoulder wiggle.
