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 […]

Let the Wacky Races Begin!
Every now and then, the Braves play a game that comes off looking like an episode of the Wacky Races. A Wacky Races game necessarily involves extra innings, some combination of weird errors and amazing plays, and fans acting like morons. Usually, it also involves the Cubs. Like that game last year, where we hit […]

BREAKING NEWS
Frenchy just WALKED. First one of the spring! During our last game in Florida, naturally. Also, he’s the team’s player rep? Apparently? I find that funny. Maybe it’s the kind of thing the older guys just schlep off onto the most gullible youngster.

When Your Batting Coach Laughs In Your Face . . .
You know what, Terry, when Frenchy comes up to you and says he wants to improve his plate discipline, your response probably shouldn’t be “yeah, right.” You can think it, I don’t blame you, but damn. As if the press isn’t giving him enough of a (deserved, but still) complex. How many times now has […]

The Team That Looks for Teeth Together . . .
Great image from Dave O’Brien’s blog today: Diaz lost part of a tooth during batting practice, as I’m sure you’ve all heard by now, and here’s Dave’s description of the ordeal: He was knocked to the ground by the impact, but got up and finished his round of batting practice as teammates and others looked […]

Baseball: Best Enjoyed In Your Boxers, With Donuts
My notes from the game on ESPN today (we beat the Phillies 7-4), and explanations: Chipper mohawk? — Did anyone else notice that Chipper was rocking this kind of half-mohawk thing? The hair on the side of his head was shorter, and on top it was pointed in kind of a v-shape. Is that just […]

“Long-Term Partners”
I’m so mad that I’m not at home to capture this image, but if you go to the Braves official website right now, on the front page there is a story about Heap signing a six year extension cycling through their news links. If you click on the actual story there is a doofy picture […]

Hungry Hungry Bravos
My boss, who is a big Braves fan, came up to me yesterday to chat about the games that were on TV over the weekend. She also mentioned that she’d seen one of the many Chipper interviews where he insinuated that the team had lost its “hunger” after so much success in the division for […]

“Dude, I Might Be Able To Throw”
We won both of our games today, Hudson looked good, Heap and Frenchy almost simultaneously hit homers while playing across town from each other, our top outfield prospect (whose name is Jones, naturally) looked great at the plate, Chipper’s injury is minor (again) and hell, even on the Hampton front, things are looking up: he’s […]

Mystery Solved
I think I figured out why Davies struggles with confidence on the mound: The kid on the left in the back is Davies. Poor Davies; at least he’s kind of cute now. But the best part about this picture: the kid next to him, in the middle? Is Frenchy! Hahahaha. And the kid next to […]
