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.

Live! From Kansas City!
ANNOUNCER: From Kansas City, it’s the Jeff Francoeur show, starring Jeff Francoeur! I’m your announcer, Melky Cabrera, and tonight, Jeff’s guests are: Miley Cyrus! Verne Troyer! And The Baseball Project! And...
Read MoreTime for a new post post
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...
Read MoreThanksgiving thread
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.
Read MoreWorld Serious
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...
Read MoreMelky, Bête Noire
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,...
Read MoreMetty Goodness game thread: Aug. 31, Mets at Braves
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.
Read MoreThis could be the last time game thread: Aug. 30 Mets at Braves
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.
Read MoreAstros 10, Braves 4
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...
Read MoreReturn of the Native game thread: Aug. 2, Mets at Braves
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?
Read MoreFear of flying game thread: July 11, Braves at Mets
“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...
Read MoreBraves 4, Mets 0
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...
Read MoreRecitation game thread: July 10, Braves at Mets
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...
Read MoreBraves 4, Mets 2
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...
Read MoreBraves 3, Mets 2
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...
Read MoreAbout that hot start game thread: May 17, Mets at Braves
Not so much now, huh Jeffy? He’s actually close to the level where he can’t realistically go much lower.
Read MoreThis time I may have gone too far game thread: April 25, Braves at Mets
“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...
Read MoreDry game thread: April 24, Braves at Mets
As something of an expert on the Atlanta Braves and on Jeffrey Braden Francoeur, people often ask me, “Mac, baseball playing and ship designing are all well and good, but what if Jeff Francoeur did something else? What if...
