The Saga Continues
Includes the Year of Kolb, the Debut of Jeffy, and far too much Reitsma. There’s about a month’s gap where the posts are missing in my archives, I don’t know why.

I don’t really have anything to say. December is always a rough time if the Braves aren’t active. Discussion question: If Jeff Francoeur were a TV show, what TV show would he be? I say “Ally...

I really do have a lot to be thankful for, even if I don’t always recognize it. Including you guys — thanks. And now, Jeff Francoeur riding a giant turkey.

So, why did Jeffy pay the Mets’ clubhouse guy $50,000 when he was traded? I”m sure there’s a perfectly innocent explanation: Reimbursement for 50,000 Hershey bars. Meant to pay $500 but has never gotten the...

So, the Rangers are going to the World Series, but after that, then what for Jeff Francoeur? He’s going to be non-tendered. Sure, there will be the inevitable contract offer from the Royals, but he’ll want to keep...

I have realized that Melky Cabrera has, in one short season, reached a standard previously only reached by Dan Kolb and Jeff Francoeur. He has moved beyond Whipping Boy status to become the official Braves Journal Bête Noire....

“So Mac,” people ask me, “What do you wonder about Jeff Francoeur?” Then I say, “Well, I look upon him as a figure of tragedy. What if Jeff Francoeur were Hamlet?” And they say, “Well,...

Now, I’m not saying that Jeffy won’t play in the Atlanta Metropolitan Area next year. He’ll look great in a road uniform in Gwinnett.

Do you realize that this could be the very last series that Jeffy plays in Atlanta? I mean, even if anyone wants him to play for them next year, it would probably be the Royals.

Atlanta Braves vs. Houston Astros – Box Score – August 09, 2010 – ESPN. A pathetic act of baseball vandalism. Mike Minor pitched pretty well, but the defense was atrocious, and his luck wasn’t much...

Okay, when Jeffy comes to the plate, if he comes to the plate, don’t cheer him or boo him. Everybody say “Awwwwwww” like they’re sorry for him, okay?

“So, Mac,” people ask me, “Why don’t you like to fly?” Well, I’m just afraid that Jeff Francoeur is moonlighting as an aeronautical engineer. I think that the following footage demonstrates...

Atlanta Braves vs. New York Mets – Box Score – July 10, 2010 – ESPN. So, barring some sort of injury-related disaster tomorrow, this has to count as a very successful road trip headed into the break. The Braves...

Living as I do in a southern college town, virtually every day I run across stereotypically effete British intellectuals. Often, they ask, “So, Mac, old bean, what about this Francoeur chap you’re always talking...

Atlanta Braves vs. New York Mets – Box Score – July 09, 2010 – ESPN. The Braves blew a couple of one-run leads, largely due to shaky defense (and some unfathomably lucky Mets hitters) but once they got a...

New York Mets vs. Atlanta Braves – Box Score – May 18, 2010 – ESPN. Thank God. I don’t think I could have taken it if the Braves had lost the game after Jeffy tied it up on a homer. Maybe that’s...

“But Mac,” you say, “Jeff Francoeur wouldn’t be United States Secretary of Agriculture. Maybe if he’d gotten that Clemson degree (though we all agree he just isn’t Clemson material) but not...
