A Couple of Talking Chop Announcements

by gondeee on Feb 23, 2010 11:05 AM EST

The first announcement is about the Talking Chop 2010 Baseball Annual. I know everyone is eagerly awaiting the release of the book tomorrow, but you're going to have to wait a little longer. This is the first time I've done one of these things and while it has gone smooth up to this point, it needs another couple passes on the editing table. This delay will hopefully result in a better product rather than a rushed product. As of now, I'm tentatively scheduling the release next Wednesday... but that's a tentative.

The second announcement is a bit of a different direction. In addition to all of my duties at Talking Chop, I have taken on the role as lead Braves blogger at the new website for Fox Sports South. I'll be posting original articles over there as well as the usual day to day of posting here. I'm hopeful this new venture will lead to some new and exciting places, and that we can bring the world of the fan closer to the mainstream. My first article is up here.

That's all for now...

If TC is the mom, and Gondeee is obviously the father, then what are we?

You’ve already made this the best Braves blog out there (with the help of TCers). Can’t say I like Fox that much, but go and make us proud!

For some reason when i read the name Fred Hickman i was reminded of Robert Fick. Anybody know how his career is going?

Congratulations Gondeee

I was wondering if/when something like this was going to happen for you. After all, having 3 mil plus viewers here someone was bound to notice the quality articles you put out. I couldn’t be happier for you!!!
