Quote of the Day: He’s a lock… 2007-04-28 18:15:44 Here’s Bobby talking about Smoltzy’s chances at the HOF.
“To me, John’s a lock,” Cox said. “He’s been dominant as a starter, dominant as a closer. Not too many guys have done that. And the postseason. Not many have done what he’s done there, either.” Read more:Quote

Cormier is ok.. 2007-04-28 17:12:59 Well I think that we dodged the proverbial bullet, after Lance felt some tightness and was scratched from his rehab start in Richmond last night.
Tests on Lance Cormier’s pitching arm showed no structural damage, and the Braves think he’ll be ready to resume an injury rehab assignment after a few days of not throwing.
He [...]
Quote of the Day: One more from Smoltzy 2007-04-27 21:00:00 There are two things John wants to do before he retires…
“I want to play center field for one inning,” Smoltz said. “And I want to pitch my last game for the Atlanta Braves in the stadium, hopefully in the playoffs. One final game.“
I’d love to see Smoltzy out in Center for an inning. Just like [...] Read more:Quote
Mets fans look at Chipper as a Nemesis 2007-04-27 20:27:51 As I took a trip around the blogosphere I always make sure to swing by MetsBlog. Today they have an interesting poll up about who is the Mets Nemesis, not Arch-Enemy but Nemesis. You’ll need to scroll down a tad to find the post, I’d put up the permalink but for some reason I keep [...]
Quote of the Day: Just Awesome.. 2007-04-27 04:41:25 Here’s Mr. Smoltz talking about his extension deal that was done today:
“Words can’t describe how thrilled I am to have the opportunity to finish my career as an Atlanta Brave,” said Smoltz, who turns 40 on May 15. “I am thankful to the Braves organization for giving me the chance to play this long and [...] Read more:Quote
Cormier can’t catch a break.. 2007-04-27 03:36:10 Well on the tide of good news that John Smoltz would remain a Brave for what looks like the rest of his career, bad news flows right behind it.
Lance Cormier who’s been rehabbing has been scratched from his Friday start.
The Braves’ battered pitching staff got more bad news Thursday when Lance Cormier was scratched from [...]
Smoltz to remain a Brave 2007-04-27 03:11:04 Well it’s official, John Smoltz
will spend his entire career as a Atlanta Brave
.
Late Thursday evening, the Braves announced that they had signed Smoltz to a contract extension that could keep him in Atlanta through the end of the 2010 season. Financial details have yet to be confirmed.
Smoltz, who could have become a free agent [...]
The Hangover: Braves @ Fish Gm3 2007-04-26 23:42:55 Boy that game was like a punch in the gut, good thing is that it’s only April. I’ve got only a couple of things, since I only got to see the last couple innings at home, the rest was either on XM on my drive home or a bit when the game started while I [...] Read more:Braves
Salty adjusting well this year.. 2007-04-26 18:41:31 We all know about Salty
and his problems last year, this year..not so much.
Saltalamacchia, a 6-foot-4 switch-hitter, has been the top-rated prospect (by Baseball America) in Atlanta’s organization the last two years. In his Double-A debut with the M-Braves in 2006, he didn’t look the part, batting just .230 with nine homers and 39 [...]
Quote of the Day: Taking one on the chin.. 2007-04-26 16:20:43 Ouch, last nights loss kinda hurt. But hey, it’s only April right?
Here’s Bobby talking about Huddy’s performance against the Fish.
“[Hudson] dominated the whole ballgame,” Cox said, “and he got three straight groundballs in the ninth and not one was close to anybody. It was the most amazing thing.” Read more:Quote

Site Newz 2007-04-30 15:32:25 Just an FYI, by the time this is posted more than likely I’ll be at the hospital in pre-op. No it’s nothing to big, but something that needs to be done. So more than likely Rain Delay wont be updated for a couple of days. As I’m sure I’ll be A. Couch bound B. In [...]
Poranto close to return 2007-04-30 15:00:14 This is good news to hear.
Reliever Chad Paronto could rejoin the Braves by the end of the week after two injury-rehabilitation appearances in the minors.
He’s been on the disabled list since April 14 with a strained abductor near his right groin. Paronto is to make a rehab appearance tonight for Class A Rome, then Wednesday [...]
Quote of the Day: Langy 2007-04-30 05:00:19 Ryan on being traded..
“It’s a little sad, just because I came up with all these guys, and everybody’s been so good to me here,” Langerhans said. “But you know, it’s baseball, and it happens all the time.”
I hope he gets a good shot in Oakland. Good Luck Langy…
And one more, from Bobby.
“Langy did a [...] Read more:Quote
Langerhans traded to Oakland.. 2007-04-30 04:19:55 Well, I can honestly didn’t see this coming…
Here’s the official Press Release:
The Atlanta Braves and Oakland
Athletics completed a trade today, as the Braves sent outfielder Ryan Langerhans to the A’s in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations. Atlanta also purchased the contract of outfielder Willie Harris from Richmond (AAA). [...]

Mateo suspended.. 2007-05-14 07:32:39 I guess I totally missed this one…
Seattle Mariners reliever Julio Mateo
was suspended
for 10 days without pay Sunday, a day after he was arrested following a dispute with a woman at a Manhattan hotel.Mateo was suspended for missing Saturday’s game without permission, the Mariners said. The suspension, if allowed to stand, would cost him [...]
Huddy = Tough Guy 2007-05-14 06:29:53 On Thursday Huddy took a Josh Bard line drive off the left rist, most of Braves nation gasp hoping that it wasn’t anything serious. What happen next seemed maybe it should be in a baseball movie like Bull Durham.
“[Porter] said, ‘Look, I know you’re a tough guy, but this doesn’t look good,’ ” Cox said. [...] Read more:Tough
Wicky healthy? 2007-05-14 05:21:24 It looks as though Closer Bob Wickman will be coming off the DL on Tuesday.
Bob Wickman completed a pain-free bullpen session on Sunday morning at PNC Park and will likely be activated from the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday. The 38-year-old closer has been out since April 30 with tendinitis on the right side of [...] Read more:healthy
Quote of the Day: I’m Chuck James Bitch! 2007-05-13 16:22:08 Yeah, I know its a tad old, but it fits.
Here’s Chuck
ie on Yesterdays near no-no:
“Today was a good confidence booster,” said James
, who hadn’t made it out of the sixth inning all year. “I just tried to put everything behind me and just go out there and pitch. If they were going to beat me, [...] Read more:Quote

The Hangover: Braves @ Pirates Gm2 2007-05-13 15:04:43 Of course this was a game that I for the most part didn’t watch. I’m still dealing with fatigue issues and didn’t feel like sitting in front of the computer for 3 or so hours. And boy was that a mistake. About the 6th inning I checked the score on my Sidekick, and I thought [...] Read more:Braves

Braves ink Cormier.. 2007-05-13 07:14:58 Yes another one, the Reds cast off Rheal Cormier. He adds a left handed option, he was signed to a minor league contract and will head to Richmond. With Colyer being DFA’d, Gonzo is the only lefty in the Pen. I’m really really hoping that McBride can find his way back to Atlanta and bring [...] Read more:Braves
The King to pitch Tuesday 2007-05-13 06:19:37 I know I’ve been slacking on my Mariners content. It didn’t help that at the start of the season that here in Oregon that FSN carried the Portland Trailblazers until their season was over, and I’m going to try and change that.
Now, on to the news and good news it is…
The King is better and [...] Read more:Tuesday
So close, yet so far… 2007-05-13 02:44:40 Chuck James looses a no hitter in the Bottom of the 7th.
Jason Bay broke it up with a rocket shot to left center, on what looked like a slider that was hung up a bit. This is what I get for not watching all of the game, keeping track on my Sidekick3. So now I’m [...] Read more:hellip
Chipper out of line up tonight.. 2007-05-13 01:13:16 Figured this was going to be the case, but it’s official.
Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones was out of the starting lineup Saturday night in Pittsburgh after injuring both wrists and his left quadriceps during a collision with the Pirates’ Jose Bautista the night before.

Ichiro buying in the City of Angels? 2007-05-17 01:05:07 It seems that Ichiro
has gone and bought himself a spendy loft in LA’s industrial district.
Baseball star Ichiro Suzuki has paid $2.2 million to purchase a condominium unit in the Biscuit Company Lofts building in Los Angeles' Industrial District, according to public records.
In a Big Time Listings exclusive, we can report that the Japanese [...] Read more:Angels
Gonzo to the DL 2007-05-16 21:43:11 Martin over at TalkingChop is reporting that Gonzo is going on the DL for 15 days. Thus, the Braves have recalled Macay McBride who has seemed to find the strike zone again in Richmond. I guess they’re calling it a “elbow sprain” though it seems to be a bit vague.
Lets hope Gonzo only needs 15days. [...]
The King returned 2007-05-16 19:50:25 I caught bits and pieces of last nights Angels M’s game because well, the King had returned. Now I only had one problem with last night and maybe it’s me. But I think the M’s brain trust is boarder line brain dead. Though I think most of us have known that for a while now. [...]
The Tao of Ichiro 2007-05-16 19:31:29 First off hat tip to Knuckle Curve for the link. Ichiro
sat down with Jon Saraceno of the USA Today and unload a bunch of quote worthy quotes. It would keep me in Quote’s of the Day for weeks, but alas I figured just one post would do it. Of course he skirted around the [...]
