Read MoreI wanted to announce some news: I am stepping down as editor of Braves Journal, and Rob Cope will be taking over, effective immediately. I’ve been largely absent from the site this year, as I just haven’t had the...
Read MoreSo, it looks like I’m back to doing recaps full time now. I’m feeling much better, even better than I did before I got sick with pneumonia. Recaps will mostly be of the morning variety and some might be a bit...
Read MoreI’ve got another Kindle collection I’ve put together. I’ve updated a few entries (but left the rankings in place) and added a couple of new ones as bonuses.
Read MoreAnd I wish there was an easier way to say it. The surgeons were unable to operate on Tuesday, because scans showed the regrowth of tumors that had been removed in July. From all appearances, the remaining cancer has entered a...
Read MoreI am going to go into the hospital on Monday for a minor but invasive procedure. On Tuesday, I am scheduled to have major surgery. It’s not without risk but I have some of the best doctors there are working on me, led by...
Read MoreI’ve been letting this slide, but I guess we should do the 2011 previews before the season starts. I’ve got Alabama, and Alex R. has Georgia. First come, first serve on the rest, apply below.
Read MoreHi, so I’m out of the hospital and in pretty good shape, all things considered. I indeed had a staph infection like Martin Prado’s, in this case MRSA, or “Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus”....

Read MoreIncludes 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.
Read MoreGet me with the arrogance. This is, mostly, a selection of entries from here from the years 1998-2003. I have added a brief comment to each one. The first part, I actually compiled several years ago when I was trying to preserve...
Read MoreThanks to everyone who contributed to my mini-fundraising drive. It’s much appreciated. MapleStreetPress.com Braves Annual 2011. The above is supposed to be shipping now, to be on newsstands start March 1 or thereabouts. I...
Read MoreSo, as you might have seen, earlier this week I was in Indianapolis. This had nothing to do with basketball — actually, the basketball caused some problems getting a hotel room — but was about my health. Basically, I...
Read MoreI am going to be allegorical here, because it’s basically the only way I know how to put this. My oncologist prescribed a new treatment this year; let’s call it “Yunel Escobar” because it is annoying and...
Read MoreSo, I’m home for now. I’m still loopy, but so far things aren’t too bad. Roll Tide.
