  • First Game-Like Simulation of the Season!

    I just finished listening to the second half of the Braves vs. Georgia Tech game on MLB radio. The game itself was pretty boring — we won 5-0 and our pitching was solid with 14 strikeouts (Harrison, Barry, and Ascanio each had two innings; Johnson, Lerew and Joey each had one). The only real surprise […]

  • “I Went In On The Bounce”

    First of all: I have the 2007 portraits in my possession, and they are magnificent. I’ll post them on Sunday night; we’re going away for the weekend so this will probably be my last post until then. I’ve got a ton of normal pictures to post for now, and ALSO: The first Heap and Frenchy […]

  • “What’s Wrong With My Hair?”

Also, apparently Rent has […]

  • So, Is Our Bullpen Good?

    Can you take it, can you take the ten thousandth article about how great our bullpen is going to be in 2007? I can’t. I mean, I’m as optimistic as anyone about the great acquisitions, and Wicky, and, hell, maybe even Joey Devine will work some miracle in spring training. I’m open to it! I’m […]

  • LaRoche the Golfer and More New Hair

    Not a lot of real news out of camp Sunday, except the pleasant surprise that Moylan is doing well. As someone who thought Moylan was just Kevin Barry wearing glasses for two days last season, I would love to see him stand out more. Bizarrely, the Braves Notes that mention Moylan’s performance also feature a […]

  • Spring Training Day Two

    So, I just spent the past fifteen minutes checking up on Braves news and pictures, and I was laughing almost the entire time. But in a good way! More running/another shot of Hampton hanging out on the periphery. Somehow he even seems to be running in a different direction than the others – sideways? Frenchy […]
