Renteria’s Option Declined
There was Marcus Giles, getting cut from the Colorado Rockies before 2008 began.
Javy tried to make a comeback and instead we went with Abraham Miller. I don’t even want to talk about this decision. Now he’s in the unemployment line.

I had a great weekend, how about you?
Prado an everyday player?
I would just like to say that I started writing this article about two weeks ago, I didn’t want to rush finishing it just to get it posted. I also had other things to worry about than to work on this article, but I finally found time to finish it between working on schoolwork. Also, this article was started before all of the Jake Peavy rumors surfaced, so this article does not mention any of that at all.
—————————————
There’s a (somewhat) newly written article that was posted on the Braves official site a few weeks ago about Prado possibly becoming an everyday player, with other people, such as Chipper Jones, backing the idea as well. I believe that Prado could possibly be a useful player if he played more, but I’m not sure that he would be as valuable as he currently is if he did play at one position on an everyday basis. While I do favor KJ over Prado, this perception of mine isn’t based on favoritism. This is just my opinion, do with it what you will. Below I will review each of the players’ positives and negatives and compare the two of them with each other.
Our Loss is Your Gain
It’s Friday. It’s a day off of baseball but it’s World Series week.
This Braves blog asks the question: Am I the only Braves fan out there that’s a little ticked off about seeing Willy Aybar in the World Series?

Phillies Come to the Trop Tonight for Game One
Well, the Phillies are still in it and “Phightin’” for a World Series Championship. They’ll have to get through the upstart Rays who just knocked off a tough Boston club. That also means our guest bloggers from Ramblings 1.5 is still with us since his team is still in it. Here’s what he has to say about his team in the Fall Classic that gets started tonight in Tampa Bat at 8:00pm. One last note before we get to Kevin, if you haven’t entered our contest yet… it’s not to late! Make your picks and leave your comments now!
For the first time in fifteen years the Phillies will play in a World
Series game. For the second straight year the Phillies won the
National League East division. It remains to be seen if for the third
year in a row the Phillies are the home team of the National League
MVP. What does this mean when matching up with the Tampa Bay Rays? Of
course, it means nothing.
Hosting Servers to be Upgraded
Somewhere in the early hours of Thursday morning, October 23rd, the host will be upgrading its servers for about an hour at a time. This means that Catcher’s Blog and anything associated with it will not be accessible during that time. I’m not sure exactly when the site will be down, but the e-mail I received said between the hours of 12 am to 6 am of Thursday, the 23rd. This probably won’t effect many visitors, but in case you might happen to try to access the site during those hours on the 23rd and the site is down, then that is why. This is just a heads up for everyone. Everything should be back to normal after the upgrading process is completed.

The rumors have been abounding about Jake Peavy and the Braves this week. And the Braves are proudly being aggressive enough to go after a pitcher that’s making even the Yankees drool.

The end of the Boston Red Sox 2008 campaign came last night at Tropicana Field in Tampa. The losing score was 3 - 1 at the hands of the Tampa Bay Rays, a team attempting to accomplish a worst to first transformation in a single season, trying to match the ‘91 Minnesota Twins by becoming World Series champs after finishing in last place the season before.
Read the rest of this entry »Peavy Talk.
I’ve been following the Jake Peavy rumors all week since they broke and I haven’t really posted anything about them on here. The main reason is because right now they’re just speculation and who knows what might happen with this situation. Everyone is saying that the Braves are indeed the front runners in this, but who knows what other teams have to offer? I’m sure there will be plenty more of this topic mentioned within the coming weeks, as the trade could be completed with the right offer most anytime now, or so the rumors say.

You can’t argue that Ryan Howard of the Phillies will garnish MVP talk again. Despite a .251 avg and almost 200 K’s for 2008 he knocked 48 HR’s, 146 RBI’s and led his team to a second divisional title in two years. He hasn’t made much impact in 2008’s playoffs…yet. But the way the Phils are playing, there could be more baseball for Howard and Co.

Beckett Rattled by Rays
C/O Joe @ BaseballismsGame Two of the American League Championship Series was a back and forth battle of dreadful performances by two top of the rotation starters, Josh Beckett of the Boston Red Sox and Scott Kazmir of the Tampa Bay Rays. In the end, the Rays prevailed 9 - 8 in eleven innings on [...] Read the rest of this entry »

Are the Red Sox the Next Evil Empire?
Don’t kill me, Red Sox Nation… Hear me out.
I was scrolling through the Braves message boards the other day and noticed a sentiment that is making small yet noticeable waves amongst the Atlanta denizens. Seems there is some loss of love for our American League counterparts among Braves fans. That’s odd.
You see, we in Atlanta [...] Read the rest of this entry »

Alabama-less SEC Predictions
Obviously, with the best team in the conference and possibly all of America taking the week off, the schedule is problematic, with the CBS 2:30 game involving a horrible team dressed in orange. Home teams underlined.
