Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
The Braves hope he can play better to make it even feasible... He hasn't lived up to his end of the bargain
Don't slam your batting helmet on the door on the way out.

Read that article and to me it came across as him bashing the front office

What a piece of ****.
It's mutual.

Would you guys rather that he said that he'd prefer to stay?
What little respect I had for him left when he stood and watched that hit down the line that got him thrown out at 2nd base. **** him.
I think the Braves would be smart to trade Uribe before the deadline, let CJ play every day, and then try to trade him for a little future salary relief in August to a team who needs a RH bench bet. And when I say "a little", I mean "a little".
Any way you slice it, no way CJ comes to spring training with this team next year.
It's cool we share the same hopes, Chris.

I never defend professional athletes, but he's 100 percent right. The front office is dicking him around and they deserve to be treated as such.
At least tell me how they are doing that? Because they got a serviceable 3B instead of letting him flail away? Is it because they haven't shown faith in him because he hasn't exactly been the pillar of consistency? Is it because they told him they're trying to trade him, but NO ONE to this point wants him for what he costs and produces? How is that dicking him around? Just help me understand because like you, I don't defend professional athletes normally unless they are my relatives and even then if they suck, I tell them. LOL.
After spending the offseason knowing the Braves were trying to trade him, Chris Johnson has spent the past few months gaining reason to believe he is no longer wanted in Atlanta.
Classic Bowman.
