Honesty compels me to report 1988 wasn't all bad. We had our first child that summer. So it was a very good year!

Yes it was, but it wasn't 1988! The difference in the years is that in 1988 we knew it would be awful, but that was planned...numerous players who would go on to be on the early "90s teams were getting their learning curves out of the way. 2014 coming off a division title we expected to...

2015 may be tougher than some years to watch, but it can't be anywhere close to 1988....that season was BRUTAL!

Edmonds wasn't even close, but as I mentioned, fairly or unfairly, that is who he will be compared to as one of his contemporaries. It would aggravate the crap out of me that the SC Highlights always acted as if every catch Edmonds made was a recreation of May's catch in the 54 WS. Usually he...

What will also hurt Andruw, fairly or unfairly, is that he will be compared to Jim Edmonds. Edmonds had better overall offensive numbers, and won 8 GG compared to AJ's 10. I always felt Edmond's catches got much more pub on Sportscenter than AJ's. For the record, I think Edmonds was a solid...

A lot of that front office is gone. If this is true, and he comes back, they deserved being let go.

I remember hearing announcers refer to him as the best 2-strike hitter they had ever seen. For someone with his power, his career K totals were low, even by 1960s-1970s standards.

Injuries/bad health robbed Carty of a chance at the HOF, IMO.

As someone who has followed this team since 1971, at the age of 11, and as someone who loves reasearching Braves history, I thank you for this, and am looking forward to it.

Wait, there isn't one WAR to rule them all?

I would like to see that as well, but do we have an open spot on the 40-man roster? If not can we draft someone before we DFA a player? I should know this, but being one of the older posters here I probably did at one time and simply have forgotten the answer...

I do not believe they traded Heyward in a vacuum without knowing with a near certainty that they could not sign him for anything less than a "market value" deal, which, btw, even with his stellar defense I do not believe was warranted given his offensive track record to this point. I have been...

I knew it!

Earl Williams...both times.

Whoever made the joke last week about giving the Cards Heyward since we gave them Wainwright should be banned for life, or at least never allowed to make a joke on this board ever again.

I thought one of the reasons Seitzer was hired was to bring out the potential with Jason...wtf?

I think I will wait and see before I categorically state a trade for a 20 year old is a bust, no matter his stats at this point. I will put some trust in our scouting department on this one. Who on this board saw Eric O'Flarety's dominance when he was claimed on waivers years ago? I liked Wren a...

Jon Jay would slot in well on the Braves roster. I have zero idea what it would take to get him though. I sure would like the GMTBNL to try!

Worse than that, they have quit on themselves. And that is as much on the manager's shoulders as any of the technical aspects of his job. Bobby Cox wasn't the most fundamentally sound manager, but he was a leader of men. FG isn't, that is why his team is going down without as much as a whimper.

If you watched the '88-'90 teams you would.
