Thanks for new blog CARROLL, good INFO on tonights game and on BRIAN. You have far more stamina than DAVID, you don’t wear down after just two days work. BRAVES won two games when DAVID covered them, now he deserts us. Hope you keep the winning streak going.

Bat: The “L.A. Confidential” book was a lot better than the movie IMHO, and “The Black Dahlia” is my favorite of all of them, but that’s because it’s based on a true story I was already familiar with.

The Niners had to keep Scott Tolzien active, so it was pretty much a given one of those rookies would not be playing, and I doubt either would play much if they were active anyways

“count: Buford Highway is in another country, not sure if it’s Vietnam or Mexico…I guess it’s according to what block you are on.”
I remember when that area (Chamblee) was older rebel flag GA natives (early 80s?). It’s a great area for food though. Sometimes I’ll just drive around Buford Hwy and if I a place is “crowded” I figure it’s the word and just go in. Usually works. Once, I got straight ignored. I mean like, we just had to leave, we were never going to be served. One of my favorite Chines places is in the Mall of Korea. Always thought that was kinda funny.
But there are a lot of places up there where you can be mighty impressed with flavor for $20. If the taco shack has tongue or brain, it’s legit.
Once I was in this Chinese place and everyone was eating this one dish, bowl under chin scooping like there was no tomorrow. I was like, I want that dish. The waitress was, no you don’t. I was like, yes I do. She was right. Dish was basically Asian noodles with equal parts hot black tar asphalt and sea salt. I was one bite and done.

iPad1 does not have a lot of ram.
If what jeffery d says does not work, try a reboot. I reboot my iPad2 about every 2 months or so and it seems to perk it back up, but the iPad1 I think has the least amount or ram of all the models.

“he’s got absolutely no shot if the Brewers don’t make the playoffs.”
Who then?
I think Braun used the loophole to beat the test, but I also think he was covering up for steroids used to treat herpes, which would not be the performance enhancing kind. After he got off, he saw no reason to disclose the embarrassment. Should he have cleared the drugs? Clearly But I’m not convinced he was on PEDs. Just my “outlandish” opinion.

I think they will use the bad season as leverage on a 3 year extension. He came into this season looking for Yadier money, but I don’t think he’ll get it now.
I’m not completely against it, in the sense that I really like McCann, but, he’s playing older than he is, and you have to factor in this eye issue, which really seems to bother him at times.

Or I don’t know, the postseason? Martin is 4th in the NL in plate appearances. It’s okay to give him a day off against a pitcher he’s hitting .111 against.
But that’s fine, because if Martin was worn out by the playoffs you’d complain about Fredi not resting him too.

Buford Highway has a rep now. You can find guides and blogs and lists to help out.
