"We're in decision-making mode. It's down to (the Yankees) and Braves,'' [A.J. Burnett's agent, Darek] Braunecker said. "It's a matter of what's in his heart.''
Agent: Decision coming soon for Burnett
Let's hope his heart is in the South.

I’ll take “What’s In His Heart” for 80MM over 5 years, Alex.
Man, I’d really like to be wrong. Damn my pessimism!
I really think the pinstripes uniform will chafe Burnett though.

I won’t argue against Southern women being better than Northern women, that’s just a fact, but better looking? There are like 10 million people in New York and a bunch of major TV, movie, and fashion centers. Percentage alone says the women there are better looking.

There's an epidemic of kankles up north.
Per capita the women are much better in the south. 10 million people but a small percentage of them are media/fashion affiliated. Most are just your everyday folks which hands down lose to the south.

"We win today, that's two in a row... if we win tomorrow, that's called a winning streak. It has happened before..."

If your picking up women in the bar then your looking in the wrong spot
Everybody knows the good girls are in the produce section at the market or at the gym. If your taking that lady home from the bar then she’s fucked three times as many people as you have. Never take a bar rat back to your place and always grab some aqua and advil before you pass out. Makes the escape the next morning so much better.

Interesting.
I was in the grocery store this evening and a very attractive blonde came up and asked me where the canned meat was. She wanted to sleep with me, right?
I guess I should be one to talk.
There's nights that I can't even walk.
There's days I couldn't give a fuck.
And in between is where I'm stuck.

OF COURSE!!
I hope you showed her where the “canned meat” was. hehehehe

Good looking is one thing
Being a snobby bitch can make Jamie Kotsay look like Roseanne Barr.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.

Disagree
Being a snobby bitch makes the woman even hotter. When my wife gets dolled up and acts bitchy, it makes me want her more…What – too much information?

If this is what you consider too much information, I’m afraid to know what you thought about the whole body hair issue.

I would contend that it’s wierder to hear about what turns a guy on, than about his appearance.
by buzzdeadwax on Dec 12, 2008 5:38 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I would be more upset to see us give him five years than to see us miss out.
Five years for Burnett would be a move that the Braves would regret, but that seems to be his demand. Oh well.

why dont we just spend 90 mill? we need Burnett, it’ll be better than losing him and getting someone like……uhhh. Oliver Perez?
by SayHeyWerd on Dec 12, 2008 4:19 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
90 million is a lot of dough...
even spread over five years it’s 18 million per. I think it would be a far better investment to add an outfielder, my preference would be Adam Dunn for 3/30 (maybe less considering how much Ibanez got) and then Sheets for 3/50. Shorter deals, less money, and more value there.

5/90
The Braves aren’t going 5/90. The yankee’s offer is 5/85 and the Braves is 5/80. It all depends on where AJ wants to pitch. Does he want to pitch in NY where many players go to die because of the media or in ATL where there really isn’t any media. It will come down to comfort and I hope Southern Comfort wins out, as it always should.

Nine times out of ten
It’s about the money. Not what you’re doing while earning it, but about the bottom line.
And the other one time, his name is Greg Maddux.

Burnett is a Yankee
MLBTR (ESPN) is saying Burnett just signed(or is close) with the Yankees. 5/$82.5. I want Ben Sheets.
by CHill33 on Dec 12, 2008 5:02 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
I read that the Yanks want Sheets and Lowe along with Burnett and Sabathia.
f*ck the Yankees!
I wish there was a salary cap.
by Sparhawk on Dec 12, 2008 5:05 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
i agree. Ben for 3 years lets do it.
by SayHeyWerd on Dec 12, 2008 5:23 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Time to press for Sheets or pull something out of the old arse for Peavy.
by TheSportsIdiot on Dec 12, 2008 5:10 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Yanks Sign Burnett
MLBTR has the Yanks signing Burnett.
Wren – go get Peavy.

So
June 23-25, Yankees come to Atlanta. What happens:
• Braves fans boo the shit out of Burnett
• Braves fans have already forgotten
• Doesn’t matter because Yankees fans will outnumber us 3:1
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.

by someguy917 on Dec 12, 2008 5:18 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I always like all the above myself.
The Braves fan will boo the Yanks cause they are the Yanks, not so much for Burnett cause they will have forgotten. The boo sounds will be like a mosquito buzzing with all the Yankee fans in the stands.

Stick the money in a mattress
NOT a bank. Keep our prospects. Suffer for a year or two.
We can make a couple of minor moves, but everyone still available is extremely flawed.

best news all day
i love that the braves are not the ones on the hook for an injury prone pitcher through his 37th bday.
that just makes my day. best (non)move of the offseason. cheers to frank wren
