The blog will be going dark for a few days as I head to Florida (minus the laptop) for a quick Spring Training tour.
O’s/Twins Tuesday afternoon in Ft. Lauderdale
BoSox/Jays Wednesday afternoon in Ft. Myers
Braves/Tigers Thursday night in Orlando.
I’ll return with a Spring Training report, many many pictures, and what I hope will not be sunburn.
Alas, [...]

March 16, 2008Pair off in threes….
March 14, 2008Well, the Braves are back and I guess I am too.
Since I last posted, I’ve really grown to envy most every blogger working today. Even the blogs full of moronic dribblings have gained my respect just for the commitment to putting up some new content daily. While that may sound easy, stupid, [...]
Braves Crush Schilling
June 19, 2007In a rather pleasant development the Braves pick up their third win of the six I’m claiming they need in interleague play. Schilling never quite had it tonight allowing six runs on ten hits with exactly ZERO strikeouts. Brian McCann led the charge with 4 RBI, three of them coming on a homerun, while Chipper [...]

I’m also happy to report the game is in Atlanta which means there will be no DH and Big Papi will take the field to hopefully hilarious results.
And now that I [...]

The whole East division is now mired in mediocrity and what this means is that the second place Braves now find themselves [...]
Shut up Kruk
June 7, 2007On Baseball Tonight, John Kruk just declared the Atlanta Braves “Done” for the season. On June 6. While the Braves are 3.5 games out of first place.
Granted, he was trying to make a point about how far this team can go with an ailing or benched Chipper Jones, which incidentally isn’t very, but [...]
Lou Melts Down
June 3, 2007A fan’s view of Piniella’s rampage yesterday:
Andruw Jones is maybe kinda sorta in somebody’s mind somewhere a Zeus-like figure and I must not let that stand!
June 2, 2007Click here to read why Jayson Stark is an idiot.
One would think ESPN would employ better writers with more furtive imaginations but it’s the same old same old from that group of hacks. On the whole, the analysis you get is bush-league—-and dumbed down for the casual fan to enjoy. Which, okay, [...]
