It's here folks, the Talking Chop 2011 Braves Annual has now become the Maple Street Press Braves Annual 2011. We've moved from a self published book to a newsstand quality full color professional publication. Yours truly, Martin Gandy (aka gondeee), served as the editor, and I've brought together some of the best Braves writing talent from beat writers to broadcasters to bloggers.
Contributing content to the Annual were all the writers here at Talking Chop, Martin Gandy, Danny Hong, Jacob Peterson, Scott Coleman, C.B. Wilkins, and Matt Foreman. I brought in fellow Braves bloggers Mac Thomason (Braves Journal), Christian Boone (Rowland's Office), and Kristi Dosh. We lured in all the Braves beat writers, Mark Bowman from Braves.com, and David O'Brien and Carroll Rogers from the AJC. The broadcast world also participated, with Sports Editor Zach Klein from WSBTV contributing.
We've got interviews, scouting, player reviews, stats, and more -- 128 pages of solid Braves content with no ads. Pre-order your copy of the Maple Street Press Braves Annual 2011 today. Annuals will ship from Maple Street Press on February 17th, just a few days after the start of Spring Training.
Take advantage of the coupon code TALKINGCHOP, and get $1 off your order. I'll have more previews of the Annual throughout the week.

So my suggestion of having a centerfold spread featuring Uggla was rejected again, I see. Fine. Throw out a perfectly good demographic!

Tape-delayed for the West Coast
It was only rejected because a life size picture of him would be too small for the foldout.
I wrote a novel, it's about baseball, you should buy it:

Sez who? Dan is a nice compliment to the team, but Brian’s place is secure.

I’ve noticed you like them compact and a little chubby.

Wow. Looks impressive!
Seems harsh that Martin was severed as editor though.

PayPal users, heads up:
The coupon code worked fine on the Maple Street website, but the price went back up once PayPal took over. Couldn’t get the coupon code to stick when trying to pay with PayPal. Just used my credit card instead.

I like that Martin "severed" as the editor.
Very appropriate for someone who made all the cuts to the articles.
In other news, however, the annual looks awesome from what I’ve seen of it so far. You guys are going to be getting a treat.

It really does look great.

I actually ordered 2 of them – one for my Chief who also loves the Braves.
My current Annual is on display in my office, and I love it. I still reference it from time to time.

Under. Michael Young will probably lead the discussion – unless they are recapping the offseason…

Annual schmanual. All I want to know is if you were one of the drunken hooligans screaming their ass off on #16 in Scottsdale this weekend?
BTW, just kidding about not caring about the annual. It looks like t3h tits.
...no
what happened?
I will be a drunken hooligan in Tempe on Sunday, though.

Nothing incredible happened
It just looked like an awesome time, and I thought you might have gone since you are in Arizona. I don’t know how close you are to Scottsdale though. What happens on Sunday in Tempe?
Arizona is gonna embarrass ASU in basketball. It might get ugly.

Sweet!!
I’ve been looking forward to this for a while, and it sounds awesome!!! Can’t wait till it arrives :)
I like people until I meet them.

The Tidbits guy?
Morgan: Do you think I could come into the clubhouse after the game and display my ass for both those veterans and the younger guys?
Baker: Well, Joe, you are on the payroll of the team, and you're a legend, so I suppose — holy shit!
[Joe has appeared next to Dusty, in the dugout, completely naked]
Morgan: Hey.
So, what's the story behind the switch?
I see that publisher does a lot of these. I’m just curious why you guys didn’t go it alone like last year.
"If I have asthma, they won't let me scuba. And if I can’t scuba, then what’s this all been about?? What am I working toward??"
"You look like you should be married to one of the San Diego Padres."
As an independent book seller, let me tell you, if you can get a publisher of any worth always go with that instead of going it alone.

Woo!!! Almost Spring Training time!
I heard that Rainbow Llamasaurus was spotted the other day doing a training run. He’s getting ready for lots of victory laps!
