in 5 Business Books Every Business Owner Should Have on The Get Smart Blog
Some classics here to revisit if you've read before. Can't go wrong with any of these selections but my favorite of the lot is "The Tipping Point" Also check out "Blink" by Gladwell. Not a biz book but a great read.

Not even if it means winning a prize?


You could still add your WS pick!

Not a bad series! Of course a Canadian like you would pick that one....


If we're playing by those rules, than I'd say the Braves 1995 World Series was the best....EVER!!!!

Nomar, Manny, Torre, back in Fenway should be fun to watch.


Yes there's been some bad blood between Rays and Sox. I hope we get to see some drama out of this series.



Thanks for your post, Rick

Hey thanks, man. Sorry your Padres had about as bad of a season as my Braves.

Well the White Sox are now out too so I guess number three is out of the question. Still some good to come especially if can get a Dodgers/Red Sox.

Sure would love to have Pat the Bat in the lineup for our Braves next year.

Thanks for sharing. Best of luck to him in California. I always liked the Angels and really wouldn't mind seeing the Rally Monkey make another WS appearance.

Excellent post, Joe. Thanks for sharing and best of luck to your Red Sox. As I write here, the Dodgers wrap up a win over the Cubs in Wrigley Field! That's a bit of surprise!

Not a bad idea. It would be fun to see Thome face off against his old team.

Ok guys! I caved! It's now the "Freeway Series" Thanks for the input. I wasn't sure what else to call it being an East Coast guy myself.

Consider me enlightened.

in Is Chipper a Faker? on The Launching Pad
As I've investigated this story a little more it seems the throwing is what's really bothering Chipper. Thus, the pinch hits.

It was the fact that he said he couldn't hit righty and then blasted that 3 run homer that made me think maybe he wanted to coast into the title.

This guy made an interesting suggestion... I don't know what I think about it though.

As a Braves fan, I had a different nickname for him.

joemagennis Hey JB .. I know what you say! Looking back on all of those championship years, the number of (or lack of ) World Series rings seem to hang on a few simple unorthodox twists. Herbie's claim to fame of a forceful removal of Ron Gant from first base is one of the most memorable.

Others have to include Lonnie Smith's baserunning issues, Jim Leyritz's home run off Mark Wohlers, even more recent stuff like Joey Devine giving up a homerun in the 18th inning of the NLDS in Houston.

UGH

in Braves Lose…I Hate The Phillies on The Launching Pad
Kyle,
Please note, I'm only saying I hate them more "right now". When I'm not in my usual state of emotion, I'd say I hate them pretty much both the same... Mets a little bit more.

Yes a weekend series sweep would be nice.

in Braves Say Goodbye to Shea on The Launching Pad
True and he did have talent but when he starting becoming a clubhouse distraction, it's not fair to the guys who are trying to be professional and play ball. I haven't really missed him.
