, as John Sterling was fond of saying. I think I do prefer to have Granderson in center though, so I'll wish the Melkman well and not miss him. has changed. I like the toothy grin, as is still shown in the menu, much better.
The umps always give the Yankees all the calls! And the Yankees always have the easiest schedule, especiially in inter-league play. Also, they are all elitist snobs and it all starts with thier manager, Joe G., who looks like a possum!OZZIE4DUKE wrote:Well, you're a moderator, you could edit it if you wanted to! But leave this as a Braves thread so I don't have to read it again ;)
I have no need to rile all you Yankee haters out there with a Yankee thread. I'll enjoy them in private.
Might want to merge this with a thread I started back in spring training:EarlJam wrote:Please put all related postings here. If one has already been created, "Oops!" Apologies and please merge.
Braves at San Diego now. Odd start time. 6:35 EST.

Apparently more real than Melky. ;)Lavabe wrote:Jason Heyward: Is he for real?
Guilty as charged. I admit to laziness and hunger here. When I posted it, I had a big 'ol Subway sandwich in front of me and the Braves were about to start. It is now 14-2 San Diego, so well, shit.CameronBornAndBred wrote:Uhhh...yer the mod.EarlJam wrote: If one has already been created, "Oops!" Apologies and please merge.

I'll second that! They're like crack, only better. I think.EarlJam wrote:Snyder's of Hanover's Honey Mustard & Onion Pretzel Pieces are AWESOME!

Fortunately in that game, the Braves averted the shutout because McCann tackled one of the Padres in their own end zone as they started yet another drive, err, inning, to hang an additional TD or FG goal on their hapless asses. Reminds me of some of their performances from the late 70s when we 1st became fans (cough, cough).EarlJam wrote:Guilty as charged. I admit to laziness and hunger here.

In the future, I shall research first, then post.

I thought Jair Jurrjens had a strong year last year and would have won an assload more games if he had gotten run support. Even in his first start this year, he got very little run support. Of course, last night would not fit into this category as the Padres crushed most of his pitches halfway to Hawaii.wilson wrote:Shitty, shitty start to the season. I know we're only a week in, but losing that badly to a Padres team that is not going to be good this year leaves a sour taste, indeed.
On top of that, it's clear yet again that Bobby will not adjust overall strategy to better employ a lineup long on high-average guys, but short on power (I'm talking about the hit-and-run, stealing, etc.). For his whole career, #6 has been among the better clubhouse guys we've ever seen, but a master tactician he is (still) not. Maybe K wants to try baseball once Bobby retires? The seasons are remarkably complementary...
I'm also beginning to tire of waiting for Jair Jurrjens to "break through."

I still say this is a stronger Braves team that WILL contend this year. I don't often say that. I hope I'm not drinking the Kool-Aid.
