I mean, I certainly don't think it's time to go making declarative statements as to what guys are gonna look like for the remainder of their contracts. It's certainly a frustrating stretch, though.

When was the last time Snitker got tossed arguing a third strike or other atrocious call? I'm just curious.

I'm not sure why it would be a disappointment for someone else to overpay Dansby, rather than us...

Sure would be nice for our alleged "player's manager" to go get in CB's ass over this strike zone. But he's too busy thinking about how much he misses Freddie and Markakis...

A lot of the film industry has set up shop in that old Turner Field area. There are several prop houses, SFX shops, and various other studio mechanic shops through there. Sound equipment, lighting, staging, et al. It's close enough to that monstrosity Tyler Perry built on what used to be Ft...

Backstrom hammered a double. He’s a real athletic looking player…

I’m headed to Augusta tonight. Anyone there to keep an eye on?

I've heard a lot of people speculate that McDowell's throwing program did a lot more harm than good long term. Looking at the young arms that got run into the ground, there might be something to it...

I said this elsewhere (maybe here, too), but the PR disaster of letting Freddie get away would be catastrophic. It is all anyone is talking about here locally. I just don't see any way AA lets it happen. He might be the one guy Liberty would intervene in favor of. He's one or two in terms of...

FWIW, AA told a radio station here in Atlanta he fully expects to have everyone back next year. Some of that is hyperbole, but there has been no euphemisms thrown around about "Well, moving forward we're going to do what's best long term" or "we have to make sure our priorities line up with...

June of 1983. I was 3 months old. My dad carried me down to the field level before the game to get Dale Murphy to sign a ball for me. The story I'm told is that Murph asked if he could hold me and then walked around the outfield with me for about 20 minutes, then signed a bunch of stuff for my dad.

Guy hit .171 with 0 rbi in like 20 postseason games with Atlanta. Why would they give him anything?

Good. Every time he come to Georgia the people I want to win win.

I'm the same way. I'm a proud progressive who wants to do right by people, but there's enough **** out there that's actually happening to tear down our republic to spend this much time worrying about a chant. If I had my way, I'd probably drop the "S" and rename the team "The Atlanta Brave."...

I think I read somewhere that the way the LM/Braves relationship is now, the team keeps a much larger chunk. That's why they had to build the Battery in the first place. The double edged sword is that the team has to draw well every year, or payroll could be effected. Affected? I can never...
