Tears of Joy

It didn’t end with a trip to the ACC title match to be played in Tampa, but Paul Johnson’s first regular season with the White and Gold was capitalized today on a high note… a VERY high note thanks to a beautiful win in Athens today.
Words cannot express how happy this Braves blogger is today [...]

What To Expect From Jurrjens and Campillo in 2009

In 2008 Jair Jurrjens and Jorge Campillo both had very sufficient seasons. Jair Jurrjens was shipped to Atlanta in the Edgar Renteria trade before 2008 and going into spring training, Jurrjens was not expected to make the starting rotation. By the end of the season Jurrjens was the ace of the staff. Jorge Campillo didn’t [...]

As many of you know, Mike Hampton just signed a 1 year 2 million dollar deal plus another 2 million dollars worth of incentives with the Houston Astros yesterday and pending a physical will be under their control until 15 days after next year’s World Series. I was personally disappointed that Mike Hampton didn’t give [...]

A Little Game of “What If?”

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. With the Winter Meetings rapidly approaching, much speculation exists about what would happen should certain scenarios play out. What if the Braves trade for Peavy? What if the Braves trade for Dye? What if the Braves trade for Cain? Well, we’ve played those scenarios out to wits end. One scenario I want [...]

It’s Monday, the middle of November and JB is feeling inspired.
Perhaps this kid could walk to raise money for the Braves’ offseason spending. Or maybe I should do my own walkathon.

Offseason Updates

Offseason Updates

Yes there was a lot to be downhearted about last year but here are some reasons to keep your chins up.
McCann wins the Silver Slugger
So he got snubbed at the All Star game by both the fans and Clint Hurdle. Who cares? He’s the best hitting catcher in the NL and he’s wearing a Braves [...]

Wren to San Diego,

Wren to San Diego, “We’ll keep the kitchen sink. Thanks.”

Unless the Padres all of a sudden cave in and lower their asking price, we won’t see Peavy make his way to Atlanta any time soon…. or presumably ever.
Here’s what Wren the man himself said.
