It doesn't matter our feelings, they are paying him too much for him not to play. Basically, Frank Wren has done a great job with this team, but he's been abysmal picking outfielders.

They are going to have to trade a starter at some point for a bonified CF.

heyward, hanson for michael bourn

Is that all? Maybe we should throw in McCann and Kimbrel, too.

How about the Astros for the Thrashers and Hawks?

in 5-7 years you'll have wished you'd asked for delino deshields jr

let's throw in the Dream for a bag of balls

Not exactly charging out of the gate are they?

It's April, the Braves sucking balls in April is much like setting your watch to DST.

Dan Uggla was on the radio down here yesterday and quipped that he's a big draw at the box office.

really, I think they had 14K the other night....announced, probably 5 in attendence..... looked like Miami.

They should contract you guys.

Oh, Uggs also said he'd rather face Hudson than JJ.

Want to trade Chris Coglan for Josh Anderson and Nate McClouth?

Should I know who Josh Anderson is?

Coghlan has looked really good out in center so far, hopefully that keeps up.

Coghlans a stud I think. Hell of a catch last night to save probably 3 runs

Wasn't Josh Anderson a no power, decent glove/speed OF for the Tigers a couple years ago?

yes, he is.

ATLANTA (AP)—Braves pitching coach Roger McDowell was suspended for two weeks without pay Sunday by Major League Baseball for inappropriate comments and gestures he made toward fans before a game in San Francisco.
...
Quinn (the fan) said he was in the stands with his wife and 9-year-old twin daughters before the April 23 game at San Francisco when he noticed McDowell ask three men “Are you guys a homo couple or a threesome?”

Quinn said McDowell made crude sexual gestures with his hips and a bat. Quinn said he shouted, “Hey there are kids out here.”

According to Quinn, McDowell said kids don’t belong at a baseball park, picked up a bat, walked up to Quinn and asked him, “How much are your teeth worth?”

McDowell issued an apology Thursday and, according to the release from the commissioner’s office, asked last week to apologize directly to Quinn and his family.

They're simply not winning the close games. Too many losses by one or two runs, many where they squandered leads late in the contest.

It's just turned May though and I can forgive the young kids like Kimbrell some mistakes.

I just kind of think they should go to plan B instead of Linebrink.


Good signs..... JJ is freaking Back! also.... apparently the rest of baseball doesn't realize how freaking good of a catcher David Ross is.

Timmahhh!!!!!

1 hit CG shutout. A beauty. 16 runs today.
