  • As Far As I’m Concerned

    Soriano is now our closer. I’ve wanted him to close for awhile now, ever since Wicky blew that win for Huddy in Florida. Every time Wicky has come in this year, I’ve been nervous. Now, he’s dead to me. Do whatever you want with him Bobby, but Soriano comes in when it matters. That was […]

  • Pittsburgh Gossip, Mets Rap, Frenchy vs. Heap, and Some Guy Who Bought the Team

    I haven’t updated in a few days (though I have been enjoying posting at Talking Chop, where my secret identity has already been revealed), so there is a lot to cover. I’ll get right down to it: –Thanks to Leah for letting me know that LaRoche’s fan club had some adventures in Pittsburgh with the […]

  • Soriano Saves the Day (And Possibly Smoltzy’s Life)

    Last night’s game felt about eight hours long, especially during those last two outs in the eighth inning. Soriano may just be the great love of my 2007 baseball season. His composure is amazing, and he even gave Rent a little pat on the back in the dugout last night, surely to raise his spirits […]

  • Happy Happy Joy Joy

    After the horror of last year, I kind of forgot that watching baseball can actually be fun. Though I did feel bad for the Nats, even while enjoying our win last night. Somewhere around their 5th fielding error, it got hard for me to look at their poor pitcher without tearing up. Then Soriano gave […]

  • You Said It, Pal

    Hey, you know what, Jimmy Rollins was right. The Phillies are the team to best in the National League East. The Braves enjoyed besting them so much, they did it three times in a row! Let’s hope many more teams get to best the Phillies as the season goes on. It was quite fun, what […]

  • “Already in Midseason Form”

    Now it’s officially baseball season (I know I’ve said this about three times so far this year, but for real this time): Skip is back! He called our game against the Blue Jays today with Pete, and I was grinning like an idiot the entire time. Even if he’d done the whole thing pretty dry, […]

  • “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 […]

  • The Official Cole Slaw of the Atlanta Braves

    From yesterday’s Braves Notes, this is the best thing I’ve heard since they reported: If Matt Diaz continues to punish the baseball the same way that he’s done the first two days in camp, his defensive woes may not be a hindrance in his attempt to beat out Ryan Langerhans and Craig Wilson for playing […]

  • Happy New Year!

    For Braves fans, the year has officially begun. Sure, they’ve been practicing at Turner since the beginning of the month, and yes, they had photos and quotes taken from camp yesterday, but today is the day that spring training was slated to officially begin according to the team calendar! And that counts for something! These […]
