    Not exactly, Green did win game 6 however he was beaten pretty soundly in game 2. I do remember that year that Green did not lose a game at home all year. I do seem to remember him shutting us down in an August game when we were still chasing the Giants.

Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz to a lesser degree weren't thought of all that highly coming up through the ranks. Not has high as Mercker and Greene were, who were both considered future Ace's and Cy Young winners. Another guy that was highly thought of coming up was Pete Smith. Whatever happened to him and Greene? I don't remember.

Id say the person who did the most damage to us outside of Schilling was Danny Jackson if we win his start were up 3-1 facing Schilling instead of 2-2

    Yah i dont know about you but id take Medlen or Minor over Bailey (which makes me think were not extending Medlen). Ive always thought he was overhyped.

In the grand scheme of things it's no reflection of how good or bad you are as a pitcher. Really the only thing Homer Bailey has accomplished in his big league career is those two no-hitters. Other than that he's been an average or maybe slightly above-average pitcher. I don't know how long he's been in the majors now but I feel like I've been hearing the name Homer Bailey for at least 10 years now. He has a super hyped kid since the day he was drafted.

    Was that the straw that broke the Gamel's back?

    In a heartbeat! Give me Medlen or Minor and you can have Bailey and we'll see which team wins more games.

    Greene was the Phillies 2nd best starter that year behind Schilling? Without Greene the Phillies don't win the East and the Braves don't lose to them in the NLCS.

    One question:
    I got a post from ESPN SportsCenter that the Braves sign 16 players to 1-year contracts.
    Who are they? All the other players who are on the 40-man roster?
