Bub, I’m a believer! Did I say this before? If the 09 Braves had won 2 more games each month of the season, they would have easily won the Division. Slightly less than that and they could have been the Wild Card. Chipper rebounds and they send BC out in style. Can’t wait.

Happy holidays, gang. I hope that everyone’s had a terrific time with family and friends. And thanks for all of the well wishes, I’ve unplugged for a few days and am just getting to them.
Leah, it is true. There are a few shirts out there. I ordered some a year ago when we ordered up business cards. I promise that we’ll set up a way to order shirts, hats, etc. before the start of the 2010 season.
New show coming Sunday night.

I’m a reasonable lady. You are forgiven.

I’ll call one more thing in advance: If Jair Jurrjens has a good spring, he’ll start on opening day. Call me crazy. I think they’ll do it.
December 27th, 2009 at 5:41 pm
Yeah, Bub, that’s a great question for the ABT’ers if they’re not already sequestered.
December 27th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
Tcc, I found a sliver of evidence for my Jurrjens opening day prediction. Ladies and Gents, I present the Braves depth chart according to MLB.com. Have no idea if it means anything. But with the other teams I checked, the pitchers were in an obviously correct order for opening week.

Hey, we could leave exactly 88 comments to show #88. That would be… “good booga-booga,” as Tea Leone says in Spanglish.

I’ll help. Just took the tree down. It was making me angry.
December 27th, 2009 at 7:21 pm
Stupid tree.

Smelly and messy. Did you have a good holiday with the fam? I bet you’re everybody’s favorite crazy uncle. I like all your predictions by the way and hope they all come true.
December 27th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
I did have a good holiday, thanks. I’m only a favorite crazy uncle to one kid, my cousin’s boy, Josiah. He’s four. He’s awesome.
You and yours have a merry Christmas? All the piggy flu gone?
December 27th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
We did…no more piggy flu thank goodness. Only Christmas goodness. 4 year olds are a blast. One more comment…make it a goodie!

Bub,
Don’t hate me.
Steve,
I’d order one, maybe a hat too, if the Braves logo was on it, or at least a cursive “A.”
So what did you guys get/give for Christmas? I’d like to know.
December 27th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
You broke the booga-booga, Kristopher Steve. You’re in biiiiig trouble.

big screen tv for the play room along with a dvd/blue ray player. The Rev cleaned out my van…best gift ever. daughter got Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince which we are watching now thus the distracted comments. I would absolutely by a t-shirt and what about coffee mugs? Am I getting too greedy?
December 27th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
I mean flat screen.
December 27th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
I like baseball,
Ooooh, what kind of TV?
December 27th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Sony something blah blah blah. I just know it’s the first time we’ve ever had more than one tv in our home. I think my need to watch EVERY Braves game may have been a contributing factor.
