[...] reports on how he was liking the Big City. Each columnist took the opportunity to reminisce about Frenchy. Jeff Schultz already wants to take the trade [...]

Frenchy is 4 for 9 for the Mets — bad trade Braves. It’s time for a management shake up. They can’t bring us a playoff team. Under this management, we are sub .500 – a losing team.

The Braves made yet another dumb move. The REAL problem is TP, who cannot help players hit. Chipper Jones is the real hitting coach. Get rid of TP, who costs a lot less and get a decent hitting coach. Jeff will be missed by his fans, the kids who admired him, the T-shirt sales he promoted, the way he supported the community and worked for good causes. My desire to attend games has dropped due to the mediocrity of the team — and now Frenchy being gone. Frank Wren is horrible, as is the ownership, which is a DENVER company and not commited to Atlanta.

Count me among the retarded, after all it’s 3:30 a.m. in the morning and I have nothing better to do than chat with all you happy folks.

Let me start by saying…..I smell a rat, BIG TIME.

Javier Vazquez supposedly has some sort of lower abdominal strain? Yea right.

The Dude is 3-4 with an ERA of 2.33 in his last ten starts. Seven of those starts have been of the “quality” type. Eight were starts where he gave up two earned runs or less. Not to mention the 69 K’s in 65.2 innings of work. Injured? If he is Javy should have started Sunday because he seems to pitch better that way.

Something is up and it’s not an injury if you ask me.

P.S. we were six games back when Teixeira went to the Angels last year and we are presently six games back of the Phillies.

Call me retarded, crazy or both. I’m not buying it, not for a second.

Bad trade. Get rid of Pendleton. He’s the problem. No one inside the Braves organization has the guts to admit it or do anything about it. The kid had good range in right field, and a cannon for an arm. He struggled at the bat as did Andruw, Langerhans, now KJ, to name a few. He screwed up Jordan Schaeffer, and killed his confidence. The Braves better get him out of the way or he’ll totally screw up Heyward too. Frenchy put fannies in the seats. Gave autographs before games – smiled – was a great ambassador for the franchise. Really bad deal. I love the Braves, but I hope he goes 4 – 4 every time the Mets play us.

Another trade? Who for who? OMG… who cares? Next question. The Braves at Colorado look pretty good and the pitching is pretty good too. There is our future, not who for who!

Another Frank Wren debacle. He has no business running a baseball organization yet he landed in Atlanta after we ran him out of Baltimore. He was a PR disaster in Baltimore and has shown no improvment in that area. Terrible move.

As I understand it, once the teams have reached even an oral agreement, the trade is considered done. That’s why sometimes you’ll see a guy scratched from his (old) team’s lineup before a game even though the trade won’t be announced until afterward. The acquiring team wouldn’t want its new man getting hurt playing for the old club, would it?
