How bout my Packers last night? A true azz-whooping against one of the supposed best teams in the NFL, especially on defense. 6 TD’s for MVP Rodgers. Nice performance by the D holding one of the best RB’s in the league in check. Look out NFL the Pack is back.

ncscoots – I guess I am saying that the first wild card team gets a reward ONLY IN RELATION to the second wild card team. By having to play a best of three series, the wild card winner should be effectively penalized more than the winner of a one-game playoff in light of having to deplete the pitching staff. I actually think my proposal (it is not my idea as I heard people on the radio expousing it) penalizes the wild card teams more.

If course, all of opinions come with the disclaimer “What do I really Know.”

If a team was more successful than a division winner, that more successful team should face a greater reward and the less successful team should face a tougher road.

While there are unbalanced schedules, you have absolutely no way of knowing if your “more successful” team would have been as successful playing the schedule of the “less successful” division winner. You can only posit that they would have been. As we know, this would be akin to “power rankings” and we here have all been educated as to the worthlessness of such things.

Hudson said he hopes to discuss a contract extension with the Braves this winter.

“That may not be something they want to entertain at this moment,” he said. “They’ve got the one option for next year and they might want to wait and see [beyond that]. I feel like the conversation is warranted, I guess.”

Well, he’ll turn 38 years old in July of next year. Tough call. He was solid this season. I wouldn’t mind giving him a one year extension I suppose. Maybe just decline the option and sign him to a two year, $16 million dollar deal. Save the team a cool million for 2013. ;)

Packers D leads the league in sacks.

The Niners D, which is regarded as the leagues best, has gotten to the QB for 9 sacks in 6 games – tied for 26th. Aldon Smith has half of those sacks – 4.5. Ray McDonald and Justin Smith need to get to the QB more.

I don’t think MLB should set out to punish wild card teams and reward division winners. They should be trying to reward success over the long haul and punish the teams that their system lets in to the playoffs that aren’t as successful.

If a team wins more games, that team should be rewarded in the playoffs over a team that wins fewer games. I realize this is not perfect but it’s just more perfect that the way they are doing things. Sometimes better teams win less than others in the regular season, for a variety of possible reasons. But the system should at least reward teams for winning games in the regular season, regardless of the luck of the draw as to what division they are in.

The simple fix is keep the system basically the same but the two playoff teams with the worst records are seeded as the two worst teams and play in the one-game playoff. I would be okay with whether a team won a division being a tie-breaker in such a format.

But a team that wins 93 games out of 162 should not have a tougher road than a team that won 88 games out of 162.

The Packers may be more dangerous in the playoffs if they have to play primarily on the road. They have such a skilled offensive attack that only bad weather can help to stop them, weather that often occurs in Green Bay in January. Playing on the road in the playoffs gives the Packers a chance to get their high-octane offense in warmer climates or in domes.

If it were up to me, I would have only 1 Wild Card team, and I would make it harder on that team by giving them less home games in their first series.

Instead of 2 2 1, make it 2 1 2 (Division winner gets 2 at home, 1 away then 2 at home)

ncscoots, you can know whether a team won more games out of 162 than another. If that happens, the team that won more should have an easier road in the playoffs, regardless of their geographic location compared to other teams.

That is a better way to seed the playoff teams than the current system, even if it’s not perfect.

I refuse to accept that because we can’t know whether the Rangers could have won the AL Central, MLB should stick to a system that disregards which team won more.

I don’t accept that because something is imperfect that we should accept something that’s even more imperfect.

Thanks for the Hudson story DOB.

I would offer a 2 year deal with an option of 8 million per year with a 1 million signing bonus and a 1 million by out on the option. (instead of exercising the option)

At least and 18 million dollar deal and could be a 25 million dollar deal.

Then give David Ross a 2 year deal at 1.75 per year also with an option at 1.5 and a 500K buyout.

Shaun – I understand what you propose. In the NFL, the Seattle Seahawks made the playoffs a couple of years ago with a losing record. I remember thinking that a team should at least have to break even to make the playoffs or else be disqualified. Of course, the Seahawks then proceeded to beat the defending Super Bowl champs (New Orleans) in the first round. There is no perfect proposal.

I agree Tumbledown. That is exactly what happened 2 years ago when they did win it. The won all their games on the road in Philly, Atlanta, and then Chicago. I still think they can win in the elements as long as it isn’t a snowstorm. Domes are the perfect place to play for that team though.

Actually there was no spotlight or other people around when my family and I met him. It was just us. It was after a game that had a rain delay and ended around 11:30pm on a Thursday night. All the players were leaving the parking lot in their cars with no one stopping but a select few. Not Chipper, Freeman, Heyward, McCann, etc. It was 12:30 by now and my kids were sure Kimbrel hadn’t left yet and everyone had left besides us. He pitched the 9th so he was the last guy out and pulled out of the lot and stopped for us. It made the kids vacation as we are from Chicago. He stopped at 12:30 in the morning just for us. Truely a great guy.

I think guys are going to get traded. If they are with the org., you can definitely have Gilmartin, Spruill and Graham in Triple-A through all of 2013. Yes, Delgado and Teheran’s time will have to be next year. But like I said, one of them is not with this club in 2013.

Well, I think an extension for Huddy would be a pretty clear indicator that multiple somebodies ain’t in the future plans. Beachy, Minor, Medlen, Delgado, Teheran is too many Indians and too many years of control to crowd in to a Hudson-led rotation. Besides, two years from now, where are Graham, Wood, Sims, and who knows who else, plus two more years of drafts?

Not sure where all these guys might fit without Hudson, let alone with him.

Here is the letter the Braves sent to fans:
Dear Braves Fans,

I know this letter is coming to you much earlier than we would have liked. Our collective hopes for a long and prosperous postseason were cut short far too quickly. Regardless, I would like to thank you for your outstanding support during the 2012 season. While our postseason ended much earlier than we had wanted, we have many memorable moments to reflect on for many years to come.

The most significant and memorable part of 2012 was surely watching the remarkable final season of Chipper Jones’s great career. To watch this 40-year-old man perform the way he did and with such storybook scenarios was inspiring. So many of his accomplishments – homering in his first game back in Houston – hitting two home runs on his bobblehead night – hitting two walkoff home runs against our division rival Philadelphia Phillies – helped make this season very special.

Let’s not forget the other members of the team who also contributed to this special season. From Tim Hudson roaring back from surgery, to Jason Heyward’s resurgence in his offense and continued strength in his defense, to Martin Prado’s gutsy and gritty play every night – no matter what position he was playing, to Kris Medlen’s incredible year, to the best bullpen in baseball led by the historic feats of Craig Kimbrel (noteworthy for many reasons including breaking records from 1900), this team was fun to watch and a joy to follow all year.

It is never easy to say good bye to a season earlier than you would like, but as Chipper said in one of his final press conferences, “We look ahead and not back in the rearview mirror,” as we offer our sincere appreciation to all of you in Braves Country. Your support means so much to us, and we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to you for always being there for us.

All the best,

John Schuerholz
President, Atlanta Braves

How many here really believe the Braves can add a CF who is a lead off batter and a LF who bats RH and hits for power? Couple days ago I broke down a offseason that had us trading for Denard Span and signing Cody Ross and resigning Ross and Reed. Which roughly cost us around 19 million. That number could change depending on who is sent to the Twins in the trade. Also with a estimated salary around 10 million for Ross.

This isn’t what I’d like to see but just a scenario I think is quite possible for our Braves.

But 1st off I don’t view Ross as the LF banger we seek. I’m just not a believer. Plus he’s aiming for Michael Cuddyer type money (3 years 30 million)

Wonder if we could put together a package built around Delgado and go get Willingham and Revere from the Twins. I’ve never been a huge Willingham fan, but the guy has proven that he’s generally good for an OPS over .800. And that’s what the Braves sorely need, some consistency, plus he has some pretty good career numbers with RISP, which can’t hurt. And I think Revere is on the verge of doing some good things and he’s currently blocked in CF by Span. I have no idea who the Twins like better, Span or Revere. So it might not be possible to get Revere. But Span isn’t too overpriced for the next few years, so we could do worse.

Anyway, just a thought for killing 2 birds with one stone without spending $20m on a guy.

VaBravesFan

I’d probably offer Ross at best a 3 year 20 million deal. To me he’s been too inconsistent over his career regardless of coming off a 480+ SLG and 20+ HR season. Just think last season most viewed him as a real good 4th OFer or platoon guy who mashes LHP.

From 2009 to 2011 Ross produced a 754 OPS while averaging 30 doubles and 17 homers a season.

2012 he produced only his 3rd 20+ homer season and had his highest SLG% produced since 2008

Another red flag is his OBP which stayed on line with his career number. (324) If Cody Ross doesn’t hit for power he doesn’t have much value at all.

I DO like that “anything you might have done that may have caused the error”! If I got a message like that, I’d just KNOW it was all my fault. :-(

I get that 6 times a day or more, plus long long waits other times.
also for the first time I am having some trouble with the latest Chrome upgate.
WalMart and ESPN do not want to go to a newe page when I click on it.
Tried Mozilla and it worked fine :evil:

What sense in there is waiting for McCann to not get this surgery done immediately.

He firmly believes he needs it. He probably has the dye injection report, so he knows what he needs to know.

So, every day he puts off surgery is just going to cost him more and more of the 2013 season. I don’t see the logic in putting it off.
