Open Threads · Rampant Stupidity · The Great Teardown and Rebuild

Pivot Day

November 20, 2017 by Sam Hutcheson

Just throwing up a new thread to handle any coming sturm und drang re: Coppallellagate. Figure it’s worth it just to segregate the blow back from today’s (assumed) news releases out into their own holding pond.

If they get out of this with just losing Maitan, some picks and money, I think we have to call it a win, considering how much doomsday…

They COULD be trying to improve the team

Instead, the Braves are doing this:

Nice to see that their priorities are in order. Open thread.

BREAKING: Frank Wren fired, John Schuerholz back as GM!

April 1, 2008 by Mac Thomason

Citing “ridiculous” moves, including the trade of two prospects for a centerfielder with a bad back, and the failure to sign Mark Teixeira to a long-term deal “even though he’s willing to talk to that SOB Boras”, Braves President John Schuerholz has fired General Manager Frank Wren and named himself as Interim General Manager, with son Jonathan Schuerholz taking a new position as Executive Assistant…

The irrelevance has never been greater

March 13, 2008 by Mac Thomason

The Official Site of The Atlanta Braves: News: Non-roster invitees lead Braves in tie

“Duo not on the current roster, but not irrelevant”, says the official site. Oh, how wrong it is. The duo in question is Brent Lillibridge and the terrifying apparition that is Joe Borchard. And, yet again, Borchard’s efforts (a double and a triple) were in a game…

Braves lose, doesn’t matter; tribute video!

February 28, 2008 by Mac Thomason

The Official Site of Major League Baseball: News: Boxscore

Matt DeSalvo, whom I meant to write up but didn’t, didn’t do himself any favors by giving up four runs in the eighth and ninth to lose the game. Loser. Good thing it doesn’t matter. Boyer allowed five baserunners in two innings, but no runs, which I guess means he pitched well…

I blame Hampton

February 21, 2008 by Mac Thomason

Apparently the site was hacked this morning, which caused some problems. Anyway, that’s why the theme returned to the default. I’ll probably install something new later, I don’t know.

Anyway, the long-awaited (two days) sequel to “Mike Hampton Flies a Helicopter”!

UPDATE: This is not my day. Give me a few minutes and I’ll have it back up.

Okay,…
