Really?

You’re still paying attention to THIS season? I suffered much until the moment when it became evident that Tex was going to get traded; right then and there I stopped caring about our W-L. All I hope for is that our guys stay healthy, our prospects progress and that we’re primed for a good season next year. It was fun while it lasted…

Brilliant Idea!

We kidnap Lincecum, and dress Ring in a SF uniform, then we make the switch!

Why’d you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you’re actin like you’re somebody else
Gets me frusterated
Life’s like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get
And you turn into
Honestly, you promised me
I’m never gonna find you fake it
No no no

The Braves have historically done very poorly against guys debuting.

I don’t have any fancy stats to back this up, but it is something I’ve noticed in the years I’ve watched the team.

Yunel's reaction

is exactly how I feel about the whole season. A series of body blows.

— Braves pitcher Tom Glavine is out for the season, and his illustrious career could be over if he needs major surgery on his injured left elbow.

The 42-year-old Glavine still hopes to return next year — unless he needs elbow ligament replacement surgery.

A 300-game winner, Glavine said Saturday he will be examined by Dr. James Andrews next week in Alabama. Glavine, placed on the disabled list Friday with a torn flexor tendon in his left elbow, plans to have surgery to repair the tendon.[/quote]

i’d DIE if he needed TJ too

Can we all hold you accountable?

Seems like a risky proposition on your part considering the Braves track record this year. TJ for everyone!

I don’t know bigjoe…but everytime he swings and misses lefty…he seems in some sort of physical pain…maybe some hyper-extension issues late in the season
