Heap is on the brink of stardom and me thinks he's aware of it. He hit a bomb about 512ft in that Little League park they got in Philly. He then pulled a GriffeyJr circa 1993 as he stood and watched the ball sail out. He quickly became self-aware of his hot-dogging and went into his regular HR waddle around the bases. C'mon Heap! Live a little!

Two batters later:... and there's a base hit to right field! Francoeur up with it....

This story made me feel a tad better. Apparently one of our "aces" could've been had for much less than Renteria. If the Pirates organization weren't such a joke, we would not have met our Curacaoaoian quota. OH NOEZ!!1

I wrote about Francoeur and how googling his name brings up all sorts of
weird "related searches". Well, here's another one I stumbled upon. Google Salty, like
this.

Sure you are, Frenchy. Sure you are.

Why? Why is Corky? Why is he? Why must he be? Whatever the bleep he is should not be!

I have been in Hibernation Mode (see:
BJ) and so have the Braves. The way things have been going for them I really couldn't find anything to talk about, hence, the lack of posts.

Clue:
Jayson Stark, who last year said Andruw is overrated (no complaints here), is saying that the Braves are this year's Rockies due largely in part to the horrible 2-76 record in 1-run games. I guess the torture of putting up with this team will pay off if they go 37-1 to finish the season.

Before the Braves start they're double-header, in honor of Mother's Day
here's a story about Yunel Escobar and his mother. If anything it should open up our eyes and help us realize that living in the US of A ain't so bad....... no matter how many road games the Braves lose.

There was no better bday present other than McCann's belly flop into third base last night.
Braves Love has the videos for your viewing pleasure.
During my time away, I did a lot of traveling and lo and behold I found myself driving through downtown Atlanta. I attended my first game at Turner Field on Friday (reminder: I live in Miami). Here's what I remember from the experience:

First of all, I apologize for not having posted in quite some time. There were things that I had to take care of and I'm sorry to all five of my readers for the lack of posts.

Much like the last few years, the Braves beat good teams and lose to god awful teams like the Nats and Bucs. It's only one week into the season but there have been some memorable plays already. I nominate the 15 seconds of Resop in LF as the most memorable so far. I felt like I was back in Little League watching players switch gloves in the middle of an inning.

Here's a feel-good story for you guys. From CNN:
When meeting Jeff Donohoo, it's not immediately apparent he is a 36-year-old man living with autism. In fact, unless you get him talking about the Atlanta Braves -- one of his true passions in life -- he is a very quiet person.Read the rest

I'm not going to even stop and doubt Spiezio's signing. Frank Wren has proven that he can do no wrong. I just think it's hilarious that LaRussa can be a
drunk embarassment and still have a job in St. Louis while Spiezio does the same and he gets the boot. Well, Spiezio did wreck his car in someone's yard, and he left the scene of an accident but c'mon now ...
throwing up in your neighbor's home AND beating the crap out of him? -- we've all done that at least once. And if you haven't, you should definitely put it on the things-to-do-before-you-die list.

So the Braves lost 3-2. I didn't catch much of the game but I did see McCann get thrown out at 2nd. The season has officially started: McCann is slow, Chipper and Tex swung big bats, and the bullpen blew it in the 9th. Huzzah!
Those are the words from SI.com fantasy preview:
Love this guy. Johnson is a complete and well-balanced player hitting at the top of a good lineup, and [...] he can be a cog on a championship-caliber fantasy roster.

Smoltz was on the Dan Patrick show Wednesday morning and talked about March Madness, Frenchy being a cheater, and saying he'd take Bonds over Diaz/B.Jones/Blanco/Schafer/Anderson

I am officially pumped. Nobody hits Frenchy with a stray changeup and lives to tell about it!
