    Why does a college degree mean anything? Especially if we are talking about baseball scouts?

    Anyway yeezus why can't you believe he wanted that much annually?

    Because no one is getting paid that much.

    There may be some secret genius plan, but the Braves sure look dumb right now.

    So, can we officially scratch 'durable' off the arbitrary list of Markakis attributes now?

    What does that leave?

    - Cool ethnic name.
    - Semi-durability
    - Gold Glove defense
    - Progessively waning offensive skills.

    I don't know what this team is doing, and I doubt I will be watching many games next year.

    Anyone else kinda pissed off Markakis is going to be wearing 22?

    Yes. It's like he and the organization are trolling us, trying to antagonize, throwing salt in our gaping wounds.

    Are you serious? I was about to post that I hope he doesn't wear 22. That's a slap in the face to me.

    While I suppose you could argue that the surgery will be a net positive for his production, neck surgery ain't a good sign IMO. Not a game changer, but I like the Markakis acquisition even less than I did before. Let's hope for the best.

    Chipper who???
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
