Went to the Rome-Charleston game last night. I mentioned earlier my wife grew up with Sean Godfrey's dad and aunt. Had a chance to meet him, seems like a really nice kid. He hit the ball hard but went 0-fer, with a stolen base. Has good speed, kinda reminds me of a right handed Bret Gardner...

I go back 40+ years watching this team...4 games back isn't all that much with 44 games to go...but my eyes tell me it is for this year's team.

1985-Jays won 99 games and came within 1 game of the WS. Bobby was insane that year.

Guess that would signal the end of the Uggla era...

Enjoy your money Dan, you are about to have a lot of time to use it...

Yep, wish I coulda been there. This is one of the greatest days in this franchise's history. Five of the six played with the Braves, two of the three managed the team. I can't imagine another day at the Hall like this, for any team. For all those there, enjoy. The rest of ChopCountry nation is...

And that has happened often enough to make you wonder...

Respect or not, in 110 ab in the 7 spot in the order he is hitting .373 with a .921 OPS. He has 10 hits in 71 ab in the other spots, 4 for 46 in the 1st or 2nd spots. Why on Earth is he hitting anywhere else? Part of a manager's job is to put his players in the best position to succeed. This is...

This team will be lucky to break 85 wins...right now all they are doing is breaking wind.

Going to see Godfrey in August in Charleston when Rome comes in for their last trip of the season. I stated in an earlier thread that my wife grew up with his Mom, have since found out it was his dad and aunt. In any event, we are hoping to get a chance to visit with him while Rome is in town.

Just looked him up on BR, he pitched 12 hit shutout against Milwaukee on June 2, 1998. He was 44 so maybe it was some kind of record there. He won a game against SD in the NLCS, he didn't give up any runs in 4 games in that series.

That's because Berman has become increasingly unbearable and boring...I swear the guy is one more "back-back gone" away from either a stroke or pinching a loaf.

Found out my wife grew up with Godfrey's mom and stepfather, so now have a more personal interest in how he does. He is off to a great start.

And if Uggla was Marlin Uggla?

When barking about Fredi, just say to yourselves the following... Connie Ryan Eddie Haas Russ Nixon Dave Bristol (shudder) Clyde King Bobby Wine All have managed the Braves since I started following them. There are others like Chuck Tanner who proved themselves elsewhere, but crapped out, or...

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

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.

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

Well, they always said we would go blind...

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.
