    Inexpensive way to air condition the new park

    Heyward to Cubs for less than $200M

    Lot of money to pay for a right fielder that can't make the all-star team

    Simmons dealt to Angels for two top pitchers, Aybar

    He'll be pissed until that he sees his bank statement showing this month's direct deposit.

    If I'm Shelby Miller.........

    1. Ask to hit clean up 2. Show up before Fredi and make out the line up card 3. Give Cameron Maybin my spot in the rotation 4. Take a chainsaw to everyone's bat before my next start

    Reclamation Projects

    With Maybin having a career year in what we hope is a new trend for him, who would you all say has been the better reclamation projects in MLB's modern history. The Braves have had a few of course, but who else stands out? 1. Rick Ankiel - went from highly touted pitching prospect to bust to...

    Jonny Gomes

    If moved, its my guess that Gomes would bring us cash considerations. He's too far past his prime to bring us a pitching prospect coming off TJ. ;)

    Feds Drop Charges on Bonds

    They should've tried a needle. They had no problems sticking Bonds.

    Gwinnett SS Elmer Reyes charged with rape\kidnapping in Ohio

    I volunteer a lot of time at our regional SANE Center. For those that don't know, a SANE center is a place where victims of sexual and physical abuse are taken by law enforcement that allows the victim to be examined and interviewed by nurses trained for such trauma. It is also a private...

    They're classy in Philly.

    How to people in the audience sit there and listen to that? I'd hate to know I'd bought a ticket for that show.

    Do fans actually like small ball?

    It's funny how an offence that is supposed to be mediocre at best, makes good pitching look mediocre and prevents mediocre pitching from putting up Nolan Ryan/Steve Carlton/Greg Maddux/ type outings.

    Why is AJ Peirzynski a bad person?

    One damn thing about, in the postgame interview when A.J. stated, "Freeman hugged me on the first day of spring training and I told him that was the last time he'd ever hug me" was sure funny to me. Even funnier was the replay of the homerun, that showed FF going for the hug after AJ stepped...

    Anyone visit batting cages?

    I worked at batting cages some 25 years ago in high school. We had a softball cage and 3 baseball. The baseball were set at 3 different settings. I can't remember the top speed, but it was equivalent to a high 80's fastball. Once I learned the timing of the machine, squaring up and driving...

    Are the Braves as hopeless as it may seem?

    Since it is a "rebuild" or a "retooling around Teheran, Freeman, Simmons, Kimbrel", BJ should have no longer than 2 months to show he can hit .250, correct? If not, shouldn't they go ahead and dump those 200 K's?

    Braves donate Justin Upton to Padres for prospects

    So, the signing of BJ Upton allowed us to acquire Justin Upton by trade thus the signing of BJ Upton also caused us to trade Justin Upton

    Braves donate Justin Upton to Padres for prospects

    Padres signed a starter this morning. I believe his name is Morrow. Precursor to a trade that has them moving someone in their rotation?

    The Gattis Thread...

    This can be taken in many ways. 1. Hart is serious 2. More than likely though, some AL team could have come knocking with 2nd and 3rd tier prospects, and Hart replied "only if you take BJ"

    Braves sniffing around on Markakis; Official 4 years 44 million.

    Liberty Media should have just deeded the team over to Heyward, and let him pay them $25 mill/yr. He could then bring in Murph3 as a special assistant to the GM to arrange a trade for BJ that would've netted us both salary relief and a future ace, and finally in appreciation to all those...

    Braves sniffing around on Markakis; Official 4 years 44 million.

    too bad that outfield of J-Hey, Frenchy, and Schafer didn't work out.

    Player Attrition

    The two burn outs/phase outs or whatever you want to call them that I believe have hurt this franchise worse than any are Franceour and Schafer. One was supposed to a gold glove CF would be our answer to the lead off spot, the other was to be a 25 to 30 HR 100 RBI gold glove corner...
