Houston @ Atlanta
What a game last night... and those fireworks after the game... nothing like the fireworks during the game... I really have no idea what happened.
Here's a picture of a real All-American guy:

Turner
Can we talk him into buying the Braves back?
You know it was about the Fourth when Frenchy came up in 2005 and it’s ironic he goes down the same week. In 2005 we had an unlikely come back with the “Baby’s”.
Maybe this is a sign of things to come? Anyone feeling a little optimistic w/ Frenchy’s send down?

I do.
Because it also means we are getting some depth back.

Depth and..
The knowledge that JF”K” is working on his swing and I think he’ll do nothing but benefit from his time in Mississippi. I know he’s not a happy camper but it’s a career saving move.

I am optimistic in general.
It also sounds like Frenchy has calmed down a bit:

Actually can't wait for a
healthy and mentally refreshed team to take the field after the ASB. Bobby and crew can get back to watching BP and pre-game as a competive scenario again. Rather that the trauma triage ward it has been this first half. Get some swagger back.

Uncle Ted's
Not as tall as he looks on television. I went to a Ted’s Montana Grill for lunch and saw him as I was coming in, and it took me a moment to realize that it was him, because he was no taller than I was.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.

How is that place? I’ve always wanted to visit but I like having some idea of what I’m getting into.

Good food, reasonable prices. Bison substitute over Beef if preferred, costs more, leaner meat though. Very casual, relaxed atmosphere.

Rain...
Could be a factor later. I live about 3 hours SW of Atlanta and it poured here a little over a hour ago, and I think it is headed towards Atlanta

Maybe Joe Simpson should be the next manager....
he keeps reminding us each game about the little things, the basic fundamentals. Do you think he gets as frustrated as us fans??

of Joe. I’m thinking he might actually be a good coach. I also like his announcing and how he does let his frustration show just enough.
