Hey, what’s with the anti – Furman comments? Why, what would we be without Chipper?
Glav? (Unfortunately we may find out too soon) and Bish?! Players come and go just as writers
do but great writers like Furman are why we older guys and gals stick around during good and bad times with the Braves. An old Dodger fan I came to Atlanta in ‘68 and it took me a while to come around to the Braves. Ted recruited me into the 400 Club and the days of 1000 fans per game
came and went. Finally….1991 and the great run of 14 straight for the Bravos….who was our inside man? …why Bish, of course. Long may he write and long may I enjoy to read a master who I picture still using an old typewriter. Thanks for the memories and inside views of a real pro.

Furman Bisher is a great man. I remember back in the seventies when the Braves were horribile, Furman had some extra braves tickets. He went to cumberland mall and put the tickets under his wiper blade. He left three, when he came out he had about ten more! And then he wrote about it. It was about the time everyone started putting bags on their head. Furman got us through it. He is a real Georgia treasure. Just like the Braves.

I guess we’re not watching the same player. I saw him strike out against the Marlins on balls that were in the left handers batter box on two pitches. I don’t think he could have hit those balls with a fishing pole.

Furman Bisher is still the best writer on the staff. His prose is never boring.

Great Article, Diaz deserves the spot over anderson. I believe diaz can produce way more at the plate and will have a better glove than anderson will. Anderson will be a backup, hes old, time for Diaz to shine.

A. He was a platoon player before the injury. He became the “everyday” left fielder to start to 08 season, but was quickly put back into a platoon after it became clear he was more valuable there paired with a guy like blanco.

B. He hurt his knee not his shoulder

It’s a shame that the World Baseball Classic (WBC) will end after this year. It’s seems that Chipper (Lareee) won’t go back and play next year;so they will have to cancel it. Right???? That darn OBLIQUE muscle that caused him to go 0 for 10 (5 strikeouts)… Everybody knows that if Lareee Jones can’t play the U.S. doesn’t stand a chance. Poor guy-it’s not his fault he’s so GREAT…

THank you Mr B. (belatedly), Matt Diaz has been the MOST under-rated Brave since the beginning of the 06 season, including by the management !! He comes to play every day.
