I have to be honest. The Atlanta Braves have piqued my interest very little now that football season is heating up. If you do not already know, I run this site almost full time. I come home from my full-time newspaper job and for most of the night after I work out I blog about [...]

At 6.5 games out of first place in a division no one wants to win, the Atlanta Braves are sitting in fourth place at the All-Star break.
Clearly, it would not take much of a run to put the Braves in contention for a division title. But it will take a bunch of changes in how [...]

Last night, the Atlanta Braves found themselves embroiled in a game they have been losing with freakish consistency–an extra inning, one run nail biter that featured several grotesque bunts, bases loaded debacles, and perhaps scariest of all, Corky Miller.
But they won.
With the bases loaded and nobody out, Mark Texeira hit a ball into the gap, [...]

I figured Jeff Francoeur was heading to the minors after failing to bring home any runners with numerous chances against the Philadelphia Phillies, in what was a very important series before the All Star Break.
We Atlanta Braves fans remember the spiraling descent of an All-Star and great player all too well because it only happened [...]

The Atlanta Braves recently added a 40-foot cow in left field that does the famous chop and woos fans with its presence. This recruitment of the cow has done very little to jumpstart this struggling team, which is playing in a division no one wants to win.
Maybe the NL East is that bad. On [...]

Boy oh boy do the Atlanta Braves need a few days off. Not only is most of the rotation out with major injuries, not the batters are feeling the pain. Braves shortstop Yunel Escobar was held out of toay’s game against Milwaukee after jamming his left shoulder the previous night. He has a few nagging [...]

Before Tuesday’s debacle against the Brewers, word got out that Jeff Francoeur had done something to help his game: my interest was piqued-extra batting practice with Chipper Jones or Terry Pendleton, I wondered? No. Watching game film, then? No, not exactly. I did some research and discovered…he inserted a new contact lens into his right [...]

I wouldn’t make such a critical statement if it was another 1-run loss to the worst team in baseball, but it wasn’t that. It was a 10-2 ass whooping that left me in shock. Not the kind of surprise shock, but the shock one gets when the realization hits that the Atlanta Braves season is [...]

Twenty-two straight 1-run losses away from home. That’s your Atlanta Braves. Listen, it boggles my mind as much as yours why Bobby Cox didn’t call in the closer in the bottom of the ninth to ensure the heavy-hitting Texas Rangers did not embarrass the Braves once again, but what can we after the effect?
This team [...]
