the chance to boo casey kotchman mercilessly, and possibly run into frank wren and give him the verbal raping of a lifetime is too much to pass up

wren hinted at getting “some power” in LF. but he said starting pitching would be the major concern…fucking lovely. so he’d put signing someone like jon garland over adam dunn. lovely

Its sad when you realize your team's season is dead

But I’m excited to see what we can build for next year. I’m a little disappointed in that I thought we could have gotten a bit more for Tex than we did. We may end up getting as much for Ohman as we did for Tex when its all said and done. Kotsay should bring us back a prospect of some sort. I’m just hoping Wren doesn’t trade Kelly Johnson.

Rome doing its best Atlanta impersonation tonight...

BOTH catchers on the roster got hurt in tonight’s Rome game, and the backup infielder (Chad Lundahl) is in catching. The recap looks like this:

Rome Braves catcher Benji Johnson left the game due to an injured leg.
Defensive switch from shortstop to catcher for Chad Lundahl.
Defensive switch from third base to second base for Adam Coe.
Defensive switch from second base to shortstop for Cole Miles.
Defensive Substitution: Samuel Sime replaces catcher Benji Johnson, batting 8th, playing third base

So, there you go. Just thought I’d share.

Honestly

I think people forget about the actual game about baseball and spend more time bickering and arguing amongst each other, especially here. Yes, winning and success is nice, but I still have a handful of baseball tickets sitting on my desk, and even if the Braves make a miraculous mad-dash or just slowly wither up, I’m still going to go to all of those games. I love baseball too much to be miserable for the rest of the season. Besides, I don’t have any better ideas to pass my evenings than watching a baseball game.

Well.....

I still can’t figure out what I feel about the trade. I wish Wren would have gotten more pitching or something, but he didn’t. But, we knew we wouldn’t resign Tex, maybe the Angels deal was the best Frank could get. We would still have been in the position next season of having to find a 1st baseman to play until Freeman, Ka’aihue, or whoever is ready, which will probably be 3 or 4 years. Which is probably all we’ll have Kotchman for. So really, Wren has kind of taken care of something that would have been an off season item on the to-do list, plus he got the pitcher who, you never, know, could end up being good. I guess the key question is – was that really the best Wren could do for Tex? I’ll have to assume so until other facts (not rumors) come out, if they do. So, seeing things in that light, I say welcome to Atlanta, Casey, for however long it lasts.
