    Bethancourt On The Way???

    Personally I think Bowman was smoking some serious hemp when he wrote that. I do not see that happening.

    Tony Gwynn Dies at 54

    I'll be 54 in two days...that is way too damn early to go. Prayers and heartfelt sadness to his family. One of baseball's all-time greats, on and off the field. Class personified.

    2014 DRAFT PICK SIGNING and speculation thread

    FWIW, Dykstra is 6'1", 190. At 5'1' and 190 they would have to roll him to first base!

    GDT #48: 5/24/14 Rockies @ Braves

    Any team starting Pena every dadgum day is as likely to win a championship as a team starting Uggla. They need to address 2b now instead of later. Idk if La Stella is the answer, but it is time to find out.

    GDT #41: 5-17-14 Braves (Harang) @ Cardinals (Miller) 2:15 EST

    I suggest a game thread boycott tomorrow. No thread, or comments. Maybe that will reverse the hex. We gotta try something...

    Introductions Are In Order II

    Ok, my turn... First, thanks to Pawpaw and all others who have served for your service to our nation. My name is Richard, will be 54 in June. I am married with 3 kids, both sons are grown and my daughter is 17. I have traveled many message board roads, from the old ESPN boards, to the Scout...

    40 years ago today...

    At almost 14 years old but not having gone through my growth spurt yet, I still managed to come within an inch of hitting my head on the ceiling at my parents house in the living room. I can still see that room and everything in it, where the TV was and the furniture they had back then. It was...

    GDT#4, 4/4/'14: Braves (Hale) @ Nationals (Zimmerman) 1:05 PM

    I think any plate is his kryptonite. He looks way too thick through the middle, as if the only weight he lifted during the offseason must have been on his fork.

    Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, Frank Thomas elected to Cooperstown!

    The argument that he spent almost as long in Chicago as Atlanta and almost as many games pitched is weak. Here are the numbers that matter, which many articles I have seen very conveniently forget to mention...194 wins-88 loses as a Brave-133-112 as a Cub. A 2.63 ERA as a Brave, 3.61 as a Cub...

    Bravos acquire C-Doumit from Twins for Gilmartin.

    As I see it, given the fact that Chavez has reportedly re-signed with the D-Backs, this deal is the backup to missing out on Chavez. And not a bad back-up plan either, IMO. Doumit plays the same positions that Gattis filled last year, so in essence he is replacing the void left by Gattis moving...
