“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 of Heap accompanying it, but the picture associated with the story on the main site is one of Langerhans batting! How insulting, really! Pretty funny, though. I’m sure it will be fixed by the time I can actually get home to take a screen shot.

Update: They’ve already fixed it, changed it to the picture of Heap that I use in my title graphic, ha!

As for the actual story, signing Heap for as long as possible is a pretty “no duh” move, but it’s good to know Heap will be getting a nice salary through his arbitration years. Frenchy is apparently also in contract negotiations with the Braves, and reportedly asked for “double” what they offered. That’s our Frenchy! Here’s hoping they bitch slap him with a salary just slightly smaller than Heap’s yet again.
