What’s Wrong With This Picture

From an AJC article about Gonzo’s impending return: Gonzalez ate dinner at Smokey Bones barbecue every night in early April so he could catch Braves games on satellite. Every NIGHT? Isn’t he like . . . a millionaire? I suspect even the guys making the league minimum could afford satellite TV, yes? Maybe he’s in… Continue reading What’s Wrong With This Picture

Good Game, Bad News

The team really impressed me as a whole last night, and it was a fun game to watch (except when the Vulch blew the save, but Colyer and Moylan managed to not completely destroy our chances, and thank God for Wicky).

I’m very excited to see that, and to hear about how Harrison and Davies… Continue reading “You Want Me to Throw a Changeup With a Pepper?”

Andruw’s Culinary Adventures

Andruw has arrived at camp, amid lots of questions and speculation about what he’ll do next season. I’m sure it’s on his nerves, and it’s damn well started to get on mine. It’s unlikely that he knows what he’s going to do at this point, and even if he did, he’s not going to talk… Continue reading Andruw’s Culinary Adventures
