1st post, YES!
2nd post! And I’m seeing that movie in 2 hours!

at this website you can actually send someone a call to their phone from Samuel L Jackson. Just click on “get a call from Samuel”
what player were yall asking about that isn’t on MS’s roster anymore?
csg, I have been sending out those phone calls for the last three day. It is one of the coolest things ever
i thought it was pretty funny, I actually scared my wife w/ one of them. She called in a panic, I dont know why?

“The Mississippi Braves announce that C Jarrod Saltalamacchia has been selected to play for the US National Team in an Olympic qualifying tournament and has subsequently left the Mississippi Braves. “
Reds just lost
Good work Miranda. Jenny, where have you been?
Oh and good work Astros
MST 3000 clip is brilliant,
I have sent about 5 of those Snakes phone calls, ghet your buddies when they are at work, completely throws them off guard.
She must be in denial after the Yanks came to town. Ouch, the Red Six have lost 6 straight and now still have 8 more road games to play. Not looking good for the ol’ sox this year. They’ll probably find a way though
…away to not over to the house to watch the playoffs with us.
So what are everyone’s predictions for the off season? Such as player what players we will release, or trade, or players we will pick up in free agency? Or do you think we will do nothing and hope we get healthy and our younger player will mature?
one too many “player” in that post. lol
Braveheart, I think JS has had enough with our bullpen problems and he’ll actually do something about it this offseason. I bet we offer Wickman a 1yr/3-4 deal and hope he stays. My guess is Cleveland will offer another 1yr/5 deal and we’ll have to see where he wants to play.
I think JS will try and move Giles this offseason. He’ll probably try to resign Reitsma to a small incentive laden contract and he’ll try and resign Smoltz and Andruw to extensions. If Andruw doesn’t accept, then he’ll be moved. Other than that we’ll have new faces like Hampton, KJ, Boyer, and Foster back next year. My thoughts only…
I hope they leave Reitsma alone, but he’s been a favorite to BC and JS
I thought Smoltz said he was retiring after the 2007 season.
“I bet we offer Wickman a 1yr/3-4 deal and hope he stays. My guess is Cleveland will offer another 1yr/5 deal and we’ll have to see where he wants to play.”
If he doesn’t retire, I feel good about getting Wickman back. It sounded from what the Indians were saying they are done with Bob Wickman, period. They didn’t even want him in 2006, they only took him after their top target, B.J. Ryan, went to the Blue Jays. My only fear is some team may seen how he is playing now and break the bank for him, but it sounded like Wickman only wanted to be traded to the Braves and the Braves only, so, again, assuming the Indians don’t want him, and if he doesn’t retire, I think Wickman returns.
“I think JS will try and move Giles this offseason.”
I do too.
“If Andruw doesn’t accept, then he’ll be moved.”
I think they’ll keep him for 2007. If the Braves are doing poorly by the July trade deadline in 2007, they’ll trade him, if not, they’ll keep him and pray he wants to stay in Atlanta.
Bob Wickman already said he isn’t going to retire. He actually got upset when it was said he might retire after this year.
did everyone leave?
hey Jay, good timing
hey.
Huddy needs to at least 7 tonight…I would really prefer not to see Yates, Ray, etc…
I just hope Baez got that out of his system last night. If not…well..then Hudson needs to go 8.
I would like to bypass Baez tonight and go straight to Wickman. Huddy needs to follow what John did the other night.
“Bob Wickman already said he isn’t going to retire. He actually got upset when it was said he might retire after this year.”
Wickman said in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he would pitch next year if he felt as good as he does now. He may not. I really, really hope he stays.
Me too.
oh, Happy Birthday Julio!!!
29TH POST!! YEAH!!!
What then!?
I would love to see Wickman brought back for next year and beyond. I kind of doubt that will happen though based on JS’s past history. He doesn’t like to sign big ticket free agent relievers. I can see him once again trying to piece together a bullpen of young players like Macbride, Boyer, and Devine and a few players pulled off the scrap heap like Reitsma (again).
You have to figure Giles will be traded for salary reasons with Aybar being the leading candidate for 2nd base.
I highly doubt Andruw will be traded in the offseason. He will bring back more in return next July and I doubt he’d waive his no trade clause anyway. He has said repeatedly he wants to stay in Atlanta, so I have to figure he’ll give it as long as possible to work out an extension with the Braves.
Barring a total firesale due to new ownership, Smoltz will have his option picked up.
Beyond that, I don’t see the Braves doing much. Their payroll is just too constrained right now. They will stick with what they end this season with aside from departing free agents like John Thompson and hope that next year they have fewer injuries, Mike Hampton and several other pitchers come back strong, young players like Aybar and Francoeur elevate their games, and that the bullpen comes together earlier in the season than it did this year (or has it even yet?).

Julio Franco’s playing career will outlast the cockroaches. Bob Wickman is a keeper; Baez, not so much. And in our fantasy football league, which poor deluded sod picked TO? He claims to have aggravated his hamstring- yes, again- and will not play preseason game #3.
1914 Update:
Boston Braves 59-48 (–)
NY Giants 59-48 (–)
St. Louis Cardinals 62-53 (1 GB)
Chicago Cubs 58-53 (3)
Philadelphia Phillies 50-58 (9.5)
Pittsburgh Pirates 50-58 (9.5)
Cincinnati Reds 51-60 (10)
Brooklyn Robins 49-60 (11)
No Braves game today (Sunday), but the Reds beat the Giants again 3-2.
TIED!
And the Cardinals downed Brooklyn 7-3 to close to within a game.
BTW, that deluded sod was BraveLonghorn…picked him 1st round #15 overall…
Colts RB James Mungro tore his ACL, he’s out for the season.
Can someone tell me why JS traded Betemit?
Wasn’t Franco playing little league when the 1914 Braves were playing?
The more I see of Prado, the more I like … Good to see my girl Miranda’s here tonight
I haven’t seen this Prado kid play. Is he a patient hitter or a Francoeur type?
Snakes on a game thread? That was very clever Mac. But I have a clever one. Guys,do you want to hear it?
That snakes on the plane call from Samuel L is probably the coolest thing ever
At least from the stats, he has a low walk rate (12 BB in 241 AB). Much of that, however, derives from his lack of power (15 XBH, including 2 HR), so pitchers don’t nibble against him. His strikeout-to-walk ratio is at the high end of reasonable (28 to 12).
Just to make it clear, I was referring to Prado’s hitting this year in RIchmond. BTW, Nepotism Boy is on a hot streak- his BA is all the way up to .184!
Nice change-up Huddy.
Prado has only struck out 226 times in the minors.(his first year was 2001) He also has walked 151 times.
Plus he has maintained a .300 avg all but 4 times.(2001 he hit .299)
He doesn’t have homerun power but he gets alot of doubles.
Yea pedro, fire away.
Looks like Brian J. already took care of the Prado stats. 🙂
.184???? Who is he? A batboy?
Nope, he is TONY PENA JR.!!!! He’s worse!
If you heard closely on FSN Francouer just described his batting approach to *every* pitcher.
So he would be the batboy’s assistant?
“MANDRILL!!!”
Nope even worse, “Batboy Trainee”.
Wrong Nepotism Boy, 4Seam. I was referring to John Schuerholz Jr. Pena Jr. was hitting a fine .282 with 1 HR and 12 BB in 298 AB.
(God, we have no power in Richmond at all. Just two Richmond players have hit more than 6 HR this year- Thorman and James Jurries, who’s batting .211.)
Oh, anyway Pena still cna’t hit at the big league level, and I’m sure that .282 is an aberration.
SOLO HR FOR BAY
Hudson…
DAMNIT!!!
I wonder why Js Jr. isn’t in AA baseball? I don’t understand it.
“They’re” giving him a chance when there are better player than him in AA.
My Top 25 will be up by Friday. I’m finishing up the stats today. (GREAT PLAY BY CHIPPER). I’ll finish my take on all of the teams on Thursday.
Chipper is playing some Great defense this series!!!
The reason he is in AAA is because of his name…thats it.
So what you’re saying is that if I change my name to John Schuerholz I will play in AAA and maybe in the big leagues?
Is there a Bobby Cox III out there that I’m sure we will draft and then allow to hack it up in the minors.
That adjustment worked….yea….
Snell is shutting down the Braves…yuck
Jeff is still struggling! Jeff’s “agrressiveness” is undiscipline.
PENDLETON KNOWS HITTING? HOW ABOUT PATIENCE??????
Pretty much, Pedro. In fact, change it to any old ballplayer’s name, fake a DNA test, and voila! You’re playing in Richmond at least. And it’s not like you’ll be blocking any prospects for a year or two.
Pendleton needs to stop crapping himself over the fact more blacks are going to play in other sports because baseball has been replaced by football and basketball as the top two sports for the “inner city” and teach Jeff how to hit and how not to be mind-numbingly stupid.
Racism isn’t over because “minorities” doesn’t want to.
I knew somebody was going to fling the “racism” thing.
What the hell are you talking about?
Are you blind to the fact baseball isn’t as popular a sport anymore as football? Or the fact basketball is the choice for 90% of all athletes coming out the ghetto?
Is soccer popular in America? No! Whya ren’t there that many american soccer player in FIFA?
Get a clue…
And racism still is a problem. Jesse “Hymie Town” Jackson is a prime example of a ugly racist that will not go away..
Basketball is easier to play than baseball. Also, have you seen any clean baseball player?
And soccer isn’t popular in USA because it’s a very slow game and they don’t broadcast any regular season game.
Chili Davis!
Nice Chip.
Why the hell do I always miss Chipper’s homers!?!?!?!?!
Well this is just wonderful isn’t it….
This is a pretty quite thread tonight.
all that for a f***ing walk.
DP!!!!!
Struck out on another ball…….
roachy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ROACH!!!!!!!!!
Hey CSG,
welcome to the Jay10 show.. 🙂
we lose this game and this series, all hope will be lost! C’mon guys lets score a few
hey Jay, wife went to the store, and I figured you were getting bored all by yourself
hahaha…..yeah
Just logged on, but I was right in my conjecture, Rochey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mets winning 10-4 in the 5th…
why do we have to continue to suffer and listen to these guys. They definitely deserve the doghouse again tonight. I love the conversation about Huddy’s move to third and then 1st. It was great!
this sucks
we have to hold them here
We can’t stop the Pirates…horrible!!!
there you go – the Pirates haven’t won back to back games in ATL since 1997. I’m sure we can change that for them tonight. Huddy isn’t missing their bats tonight
4-2
3-2, Pirates? Not looking good…
If Snell gets a hit here, ball game over. Count it!
Sheesh…
At least we got out of that….
Cards are getting back in it..back-to-back homes with Rolen and Wilson. 10-6
Hey all,
Hudson sucks, and Mac is going to be late–I think he’s at work. He just texted me.
he isnt missing much, this sucks. We are getting shut down by a team that had only won 13 or 14 road games all year. Seasons over, please remove all hope
Renty!
You get 1 exclamation point and you’ll like it.
time for another one chip, does huddy pitch the 7th. I would rather see Paronto
On a brighter point…College football starts next weekend!!!!
Meant to say *brighter note
thank you, lets go BMAC dont swing at the 1st pitch please!
Come on BMAC
What are the differences between Hudson and Comier? I think Huddson pitches slight balls. Both of them throws sinker, but Huddson isn’t better than Comier. Just except for high salary.
Brian is in a 0-11 slump.
BMAC!!!!!!!!!!
BMAC!!!
lets go Jeff, one more here
Frenchy!!!!
lets go Diaz bases loaded
sorry its Roach
Holy cow. Nice AB, Hacky.
FRENCHY!!!!
Great at-bat.
My computer must be malfunctioning. It says that Francoeur walked. That can’t be right…
I’ll take another walk here, 3-0
yes yes yes 4-4 atta boy!!!
Roachy!!!!
we need to score a couple more here
Tie game.
I think the computer doesn’t lie, billy-jay. Hahahaha
Csg, now its Diaz with the bases loaded.
see you guys in the morning!
see ya
one more and I’m gone, Torborg you SUCK!! Lets go Braves
Later, csg.
DAMN!!!!!!
C’ya~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was a good chance.
The Bodyguard is in.
UGH!
DAMNIT!!!!
2outs comlex, ugh!!!!!!!!!!
Orr………
Orr singles….RALLY RALLY RALLY!!!!
C’mon Chip! Base Hit ties it.
Damnit first pitch swinging kills us.
Great.
“Damnit first pitch swinging kills us.”
Unless you’re Matt Diaz.
I see we’re losing again
Here we go again….
perhaps I spoke too soon..
I’m here now; I was at class, actually, then had to either eat or go into a diabetic coma. Anyway, by my reckoning the Braves have had three innings in which a pitcher made a one-run Pirates lead into a two-run lead and two innings in which he made a tie into a one-run Pirates lead. This is not good. What’s the opposite of good? Right, bad.
Aloha!
YATES!!!
Still hate the bastard but….
YATES!!!
I’d like to see That Kali get Lei-ed!!!!
I’m going to assume that you ate, then. Good to see you, Mac.
BMAC!!!
Let’s go Frenchy.
Oh, thats just wonderful.
Is it possible that Jeff’s problem isn’t just judgment, but that he actually thinks he can hit certain pitches that he usually can’t? Yes, he hit a homer on a pitch down there last week but he more often does that.
Ball… where ball? Come here ball!
