    If Matt Olson is a power goon... is he powered by goon juice? As well as gooning?

    I realize that aids has been his nickname for so long on this board, but I was hoping we could mix this in as a potential nickname as well!! Julio Franco may have had the Jesus juice, but Matt olson?? He has the Goon juice

    Why in Keith Lockhart's name did John Boland Schuerholz Jr trade Jermaine Dye away?

    I was definitely following the Braves back then, but I still don't understand this trade, even retroactively. I have a horribly bad feeling that the trade was made just to get a lefty in the lineup in the form of Michael tucker. And honestly? For the suspenders overall, between this trade, the...

    Why did we move on from Fred McGriff to Andres galarraga?

    So Fred McGriff going into the hall with a blank cap kind of made me think that he would have gone in as a brave had we kept him through 1997 and beyond. Given that Fred was / is 2 years younger than the big cat, I was wondering if any of y'all could give me a history lesson on this?

    10/5 GDT | Anibal "Dirty" Sanchez VS Clayton Kersh*t | Braves @ Dodgers 7:37 on FS1

    10/5 GDT | Anibal "Dirty" Sanchez VS Clayton Kersh*t | Braves @ Dodgers 7:37 on FS1 Game one was...hard to watch, if not somewhat predictable. Certainly won't get any style points for howwe lost, either. And tonight, we face a probable HoF pitcher, coupled with that unrelenting lineup. Here's...

    Thank You

    Chop Country Brethren (and Sistern), I've had many reasons in my life, especially lately, to be both humbled and grateful at the same time. Jeff was/is right; I took a sabbatical to clear my head for what I knew was gonna be a memorable journey for me either way things turned out. As it is...

    Why did Bobby Cox retire?

    Was he just kinda done in 2010? I ask cuz I (I think) remember some rumor that Frank Wren was gonna force him out either way. I assume this isn't true, and would much appreciate y'alls clarification on this. Thank ya!

    Jeff Francoeur retires; heading to TV.

    http://www.ajc.com/sports/baseball/jeff-francoeur-got-new-job-new-life-after-retiring/GG0TGEDpWWjP5mZ6KjWECL/ I still remember a certain chapter of the book "Scout's Honor" entitled: "The Next Dale Murphy" If only.

    Tommy Hanson: Shattered Dream

    This was admittedly a hard read for me, but worth it. http://thelab.bleacherreport.com/shattered-dream/ So I say it's a hard read, not only because of the subject matter, but from personal experience. Speaking for myself as someone who has been pushed to the absolute brink with depression (as...

    Fandom: Looking ahead (i.e. MLB service clock) Vs. living in the moment

    Hey guys, My apologies for any confusion with the topic title (and this post overall, really. It's gonna be very disjointed), but it's something that's been on my mind lately - especially with the excellent debate going on right now regarding Ozzie and Swanson. To preface, back in the...

    Chop Country Radio, Episode 1: We might've given this one away!

    The Return--or maybe to be more accurate--the restart of Chop Country Radio!

    WELL, SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIT!! :Bowman: So as y'all know, totally tried to get the ball rolling on this thing awhile back. Long story short, ended up with a surprise move and other issues, including slow DSL internet (is there any other kind?!). But! The slow internets have been remedied, and I...

    Were/are you surprised that #25 and #15 are still in circulation?

    Probably a trivial topic/question, but I always thought Andruw's number would be retired here - even considering how his career in the ATL ended. As I know I've posted before, I was equally surprised that Gosselin was given Huddy's number. What do y'all think?

    How successful was Dennis Martinez as a brave?

    Vague memory alert! So it's like I remember Dennis going for some sorta pitching record while he was here (assuming it was probably win related). Other thing I'd like some light shed on is that I *think* I remember him giving up a home run in the postseason (1998 vs the Padres maybe?)...

    Chop Country Radio: Episode 1, 3/15 @ 9 PM CDT - OMG Injuries Edition!

    Hey ya guys, So I totally wasn't gonna launch this till a couple weeks later, but recent events would seem to provide plenty of on-air discussion opportunities! Also, woulda moved this to Sunday, but I'm actually hosting another show then for my other favorite sports team (Phoenix Suns). It's...

    Chop Country...radio show?!

    Hey guys, This is just an idea I had to sorta personalize the community on here - in any case, it sounds fun to me! Anyway, I'll be using BlogTalkRadio, and even though the basic features only allow 30 minutes of show time, I figured that would be a good litmus test to see if this thing gets...
