Glavine deserved better.

They should have let him finish out the season and retire in Atlanta. Tommy Hanson will still be here to pitch next year and for years to come. Frank Wren is an idiot!

This is why Atlanta is considered the armpit of the south.

Greedy Glavin, what did the Braves get for the first Million dollars they gave you this year? I would love a million just to go to physical therapy and rehab! You should be paying them. Handled badly, bull, you are all greed!!!

Concerning Glavine, like I said yesterday, the ONLY reason why Glavine was trashed was because the Braves management team felt HURT when Glavine signed with the Mets years ago. The Braves management have been waiting for the right opportunity to get revenge with Glavine. Glavine said himself that he felt blindsided by the Braves releasing him. I’m sure that the Braves wanted to make sure that they would stick it to Glavine and basically make Glavine hurt so bad it would make him sick to his stomach. So Braves Organization: mission accomplished! You got even with Glavine, you made him hurt and everything, but you wont stop Tommy Glavine from making the Hall of Fame. Now my message to Tom Glavine if you are reading my BLOG. Now its YOUR turn for revenge on the Braves: Heres how you do it: When its time for you to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, GO IN AS A MET and NOT as a Brave. That will stick the knife back into the Braves. Also, when your jersey is to be retired by the Braves, tell them no and instead just have your jersey retired by the Mets instead. This way you will cut off all ties with the Braves and get even with those nasty people for treating you the way they did.

The Braves handled Tom Glavine worst than Smoltz. If this was truely a performance issue why not give him a start or two in the “Bigs” and let his performance speak for itself.

The Braves resign Chipper Jones to a long – term contract knowing (I hope)that he can no longer play the field everyday and in fact will end up on the DL several times during this and every year.

Why not trade Chipper to an American League team where he can DH thus extend his career and the Braves can get some real value for him?

This would be a very smart long-term “performance” move for the Braves but would be a nightmare with the fans.

Even though the Braves failed to match the Mets deal a couple years ago, Glavine showed no loyalty to Atlanta when he left. Now when he’s washed up and over the hill, he wants to be treated with respect. Forget. He’s just another one of those money grubbing pro athletes.

All I can say is that I am glad that he is gone before he turned into another pitcher who “tweaks” his pec muscle and sits on the bench for 15-30 days, while still pulling in a paycheck. Come on folks! You were just as mad when they resigned him as you are now. “He’s too old!” you said.

And Mark, there is one Glavine jersey wearing fan in the crowd.

great job Frankie. continued dismantling of the longtime Braves. But what do you expect from a guy who let Smoltz get away.
Not the Glavine was doing that great, but exactly what have you done to make the Braves better? Maybe you can get us another .240 outfielder with that keen astute eye of yours. Didn’t you learn anything from Shuerholtz? Hey, maybe you can get Andruw Jones back, oh yeah, you already tried that.

You’d win the prize, Wallace. If there was one. Which there isn’t. But congratulations all the same!
