in Braves Set to Pick Up Vazquez on The Launching Pad
That's a great move for the Braves. For about as cheap as possible too!

To this day I am still pissed that Jermaine Dye did not win the ROY in 1996. Todd Hollandsworth-less got it. Remember when he was on the Braves for 5 minutes?

in Is Chipper a Faker? on The Launching Pad
Doesn't matter to me in the least. Whatever it takes to win. My favorite was in 1996 when Tony Gwynn was about 40 ABs short of qualifying for the title. So he just took an 0-40 and still won the batting title.

in Braves Say Goodbye to Shea on The Launching Pad
Sorry JB, I have no love for Shea. My undying hatred of the Mets extends to everything associated with him.

Seeing 99% of baseball games at Dodger Stadium I have seen some doozies.
My favorite is a real stand out. Late in the 97(?) season, FOX (NewsCorp) bought the Dodgers from Peter O'Malley. Ted Turner actually showed up at the Owner's Meeting to block the sale (first time since 1989). to know avail. Bud Selig was licking his chops at the thought of such a huge business investing in baseball. I digress.
The first game under FOX ownership was actually the last game of the season. Computer animation was still emerging and FOX wanted to be "cool" and "hip" (antithesis of O'Malley) and showed off this new technology.
A really annoying computer animated kid appeared on the screen before the game started and made stupid comments about the umpires. Then, the unthinkable happened.
During the 7th Inning Stretch the fans got up from their seats to sing along to the classic song. However, there would be no singing. Longtime Dodger Organist Nancy Bea Heffly started the opening bar to "Take Me Out to the Ball Game", then...then...that kid appeared. In his shrill, annoying voice started sining "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" through the Dodger's archiactic PA System (ONE central speaker for the enitre park. ONE). The fans joined in for the chorus - of boos. The song was drowned by a chorus of boos because of the desicration. this was an effort by FOX to make the game more "fun" and "cool". I have never heard boos during the 7th inning stretch. That was the one and only appearance of that "kid"
So yeah, the Tomohawk Team isn't so bad.

Add Kirby Puckett to the list of heartbreakers. "And we'll see you tomorrow night" gets me every time.

in Remaining Braves to Have Season Ending Surgeries on The Launching Pad
Despite how terrible we are this year, I have a good feeling about next year. We have a great young core in Frenchy, McCann, and Jurrjens. also have a great veteran presence in guys like Chipper Jones and Huddy. Now, if we can just get a bullpen.
