Made my trip two weeks ago. Definitely worth it as I knew he would not be there long. Keith Curcio has been pretty interesting to watch.

I'm more excited about my tickets to an early Mudcats game. I bought early so I could get a chance to see Swanson or Albies at SS. I figure one will get the AA nod and the other the high Class A. Due to being extremely busy at work, this is the first Opening Day in over 25 years I have not taken...

I was on BaseballBoards.com when people were migrating from AccessAtlanta. That was either 1998 or 1999.

Commented this morning that this is some of the stuff that Giamatti probably had and never surfaced. But someone knew about it and was waiting for the appropriate time to use it. With a new commish in place and discussion beginning, it's funny it now has surfaced after that many years. I...

I would love to see Mike come back. There are some on this board that I remember saying Happy New Year in the big Y2K scare. Mike was always level headed in his posts, but I think he did leave to spend more time with his family. But he'd be a great addition again.

In 1988, my wife and I had twins, a boy and a girl. That allowed me to get by with giving him a name based on ball players. His name was "Ryan Kevin". Ryan was of course after Nolan Ryan, and Kevin was Kevin Seitzer, who I loved his style of hitting at the time. Pretty neat how things work out...

That would be Steve Bryant, the owner of the Mudcats. The old adage "Build it and they will come" is what the Mudcats stadium is all about. Bryant first wanted to build a stadium in downtown Raleigh years ago, but the Durham Bulls (Miles Woff at the time) claimed jurisdiction of Bulls territory...

About a 30 minute drive from my house!!

Exactly.. the Mets will only be a 1/2 behind us after this sweep.

Saw references to the FitBit thru the thread. FYI, if you own, FitBit Flex has been recalled due to the rash it is creating on people's wrist.

You are exactly right... because most fans will vote based on their hearts not their heads. Never ceases to amaze me that their is such a large core of fans that can't using "baseball thinking" when it comes to their favorite team.

These last few weeks have been a most unexpected turn for this team. Never thought we'd ever see this level of commitment as long as our current ownership was in place. One happy Braves fan here in NC.

I don't think it's gonna happen either, but found it interesting that we were even included in the conversation. Generally, the Braves never crop up as a potential candidate for signing someone like this. If the story is to be believed, then someone is in the know that we are going to at least...
