    Braves sign 17 year-old Nicaraguan pitcher Shendell Benard

    I'm still in Charleston, so I have the "coastal" covered, "slender" is never happening though!

    GDT 9/21/15 @ Mets

    Two K's and a walk, and dinged an umpire with his first pitch...a great debut by the Fonz.

    8/4/2015 TUESDAY MINORS FINAL ... Bird watching in ATL; Hessman Minors HR King

    Even though I haven't been a "Kool-Aid" drinker with these trades, the bitching and moaning by the doomsayers has been just as insufferable, and the same statements apply in reverse...IMO.

    Your Favorite Braves' Teams

    1974-The first winning season after I began following the Braves. Hank sets the record, Buzz Capra, Phil Niekro finish 1st and 2nd in ERA. Garr leads the league in hitting. We win 88 games, still finish 20 games behind the Dodgers and 10 behind the Reds...(they won 98 and sat at home for the...

    Farewell to Wood, Peraza, Jimmy Johns, and Avilans.

    I have lost count of how many variations of this deal I have seen since it first appeared last night on all media. At this point I am gonna assume nothing, and judge the same, until I see what it includes and IF it actually happens.

    Angels close to acquiring Kyle Kubitza from Braves

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

    Angels close to acquiring Kyle Kubitza from Braves

    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...

    Angels close to acquiring Kyle Kubitza from Braves

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

    Smoltz elected to Cooperstown along with Pedro, Unit, and Biggio.

    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...

    Smoltz elected to Cooperstown along with Pedro, Unit, and Biggio.

    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...
