and Dickey’s knuckleball has been trouble for the Braves in the past, but any ballplayer who names one of his bats Orcrist is at least a little bit awesome.

Jen’s team sucks… and mine has a DUI pitcher and a moronic rant from the pitching coach. Winning doesn’t mitigate the annoyance (suck) of this sort of crap, and frankly we’ve not been winning all THAT much.

Only a couple weeks in… but neither of our teams are doing well (though admittedly nobody EXPECTED Jen’s team to not suck) *sigh*.

That requires all three of those exclamation marks.

Check out this great interview with Bethany Heck of Eephus League, and maybe go sign-up on Kickstarter for her newly designed scorebooks.
I’m getting excited for opening day. I’ve got some “vouchers” to go to a AAA Gwinnett Braves and an Atlanta Braves game with my 7 year-old son this season, and hope to make it to one or two more of each with my 13 year-old son as well (I’m hoping to use the Eephus scorebook at the games with him).

Perhaps Charles and I should blow off the dust and get rid of those tumbleweeds and post some stuff. After all, it’s spring training, right? All hope is renewed and anything can happen. Everyone has a 0-0 record. There could be surprises just around the corner for all of us.
What’s that? Oliver Perez is still floating around Mets training camp?
Damnit.
I feel like George Costanza when his girlfriend wouldn’t let him dump her.

I’m beginning to understand now how every other NL East team felt during the 90s. Halladay, Lee, Oswalt, & Hamels?

I feel I should let Jen write a wrap up to the Mets season before I do one for the Braves (their season was over SO much sooner than ours)… but I wanted to make the quick (possibly obligatory) post saying Thank You to Bobby Cox for all the years managing my team.
PS. Also really glad Wagner got to pitch for Bobby & retire as a member of the Braves instead of as one of the crappy Mets.

OK, I hate, HATE, HATE! saying “woohoo Wild card”… but I love that Bobby’s going to be in the dugout for a few more games. I think the 2010 Braves played well enough to be in the post season… but the team that’s going into the post season (without Chipper, or Prado, or Medlen, & maybe without Jair Jurrjens) is going to have a tough time of it. I think we can (not sure we WILL, but I think we CAN) beat the Giants… and with a little rest I think we’ve got a shot at taking the Phils/Reds in a series (though that may come down to pitching and luck more than anything without Chipper or Prado in the line-up… and we’re not favored in ANY of these match-ups).

161 games played and tied for the Wild Card. I hope tomorrow isn’t the last game Bobby manages.
