Good show!
No buying the Hamels is Back line, either.
But the Phillies are the best team in the NL. All their pitching has to be is decent and they’ll grab the crown.
The Marlins, I’m reserving judgment, but they worry me. I see the Braves and the Fish fighting it out for the wild card, now that the Mets and Nats seemed poised for ugly years, allowing three NL East teams to have very good records.
March 28th, 2010 at 10:39 pm
By crown, I meant the division.
Don’t know why I said crown.
March 28th, 2010 at 10:40 pm
I by “reserving judgment,” I meant reserving it until the next sentence of that comment.
Time for bed.
Go Braves.
March 29th, 2010 at 5:08 am
ok…I get it..when there are lots of links, the post has to be approved…cool.
I could get into Bobby V as skip, if Torre wouldnt. Blasphemy? Hes a stud, have met him. Looks good in a mustache too.
March 29th, 2010 at 5:09 am
sorry broke a promise in my post (not to mention Bobby V ever again)
March 29th, 2010 at 5:11 am
Im going out on a limb not having even heard this podcast yet and saying that I think the Braves will win the division. Just to be a homer and based on my training in the force, an eleven sided die, and having just eaten a pound of moldy cheese.
March 29th, 2010 at 6:57 am
I’m halfway through the podcast – listened on my way in to work this morning. I don’t know nothin’ ’bout ‘nothin’, but: is there any chatter/is there any chance that Fredi Gonzalez could come back to the Braves and replace Bobby next year? I like the guy, and it’s true that it’s hard to motivate a team – good or not – if no one’s coming to watch. Just askin’.
March 29th, 2010 at 7:28 am
Cmon, maybe McClouth is Ibanezian?
Thanks for the reality check, tho. Good show.
March 29th, 2010 at 7:53 am
Anne, lots of talk about Fredi Gonzalez coming back here from Atlanta fans and the media. Feeling that I have gotten from him and the Marlins, should he survive this year, is that he wants to be with the team when they move into their new stadium and start spending some money on the club. He really wants to be part of that transition. But that of coure is all dependent on him keeping his job through to next season.
March 29th, 2010 at 9:39 am
I hate the Phillies. Just had to get that off my chest. I feel better now.
March 29th, 2010 at 10:58 am
Thanks, Curt. As I’ve mentioned in past, I can barely read, let alone muster a complete thought…so I let you people tell me what I know and leave the Blog-reading and reporting to others. I think Fredi has done really well for that franchise since he “left us” and kudos to him for wanting to stick with it, even if only his 2nd cousins come to Marlins games. That’d be a raw deal if they let him go for something that isn’ this fault…but, hey, it wouldn’t be the first time.

Here’s my semi-mean Frenchy post of the day. There’s an interview with Jason Bay in the NY Post (http://tinyurl.com/yhr6bm7). In it, the the interviewer starts throwing out names of players, asking for Bay’s reaction. Such as:
Q: David Wright?
A: A great guy on and off the field. He means a lot to the city of New York and to this team.
Q: Johan Santana?
A: Not what I was expecting at all. I thought Johan was that dead-serious-all-the-time guy. He jokes around. . . . He’s human.
Then we get to Frenchy …
Q: Jeff Francoeur?
A: Still talking.
March 29th, 2010 at 2:09 pm
Brooksy going deep. That’s fun! I was afraid to listen to today’s game and it still may end badly but atleast we showed up.
March 29th, 2010 at 2:10 pm
We should have a section on the show – “Steve’s Semi-Mean Frenchy Comment of the Week”, where Stevie says things like “he’s a nice enough guy, but I really hate him” and “what a nincompoop, bless his heart”.
I think it has potential. We can put it right between my “Chris Resop Joke of the Week” and Curt’s “Gall Bladderless Bile Rant of the Week”.
March 29th, 2010 at 3:23 pm
I know it’s ST but that was a nice win.
March 29th, 2010 at 4:31 pm
Steve, that article snip is the greatest thing ever.
March 29th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
“I just didn’t get the impression, from postgame comments today, that anyone is going to get a spot over Chavez (Cox lauded him again), and I don’t think they’re ready to have Kimbrel on the roster just yet. Asked Cox a question about Kimbrel today and it was ‘He was OK’ sort of response.” -DOB
*raises hands to the sky*
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYHI-HI-HYYYYYY????!!!!!
March 29th, 2010 at 5:10 pm
Gotta have one of them out there.
March 29th, 2010 at 5:18 pm
Yeah, but why not Kimbrel?
March 29th, 2010 at 6:28 pm
Might have 2, because Jo Jo is making the team
March 29th, 2010 at 6:48 pm
Kimbrel needs the reps, and he won’t get enough of them in the bigs next year. Not that I want any part of Jo-Jo or Chavez (although the words from DOB on Jo-Jo were heartening).
March 29th, 2010 at 6:55 pm
I don’t envision Jo Jo being a disaster out of the pen. His problems are mental, so I don’t understand why they haven’t tried to ease him with short outings.
Clean bases only, though. Law, please don’t send him in there as the next Jeff You-Let-Em-On-and-I’ll-Let-Em-In Bennett.
March 29th, 2010 at 7:00 pm
I’ll be sitting close enough to the dugout – and trust me, I can bellow with the best of them – that Bobby will indeed hear me if he does dumb things this season. I promise.
March 29th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
Must read…right now…

Great link, Leah. Makes me proud of the organization.
I baked chicken. I really did it. It tastes incredible. Look out, world.
