This is for Gondee and the other Moderators. I don't know if this idea has been brought up yet but is it possible to have an annual TC day each year? I think it should be a day each year that all TC members can get together in Atlanta and go to a Braves game. It doesn't necessarily have to fall on the exact same day, but atleast the same time frame. It can be a weekend series. I think it would be better to have a set date so everybody will be aware and they can plan accordingly. Since alot of fans stay far away it will give them plenty of time to save up if possible. I don't know whether this is possible or not but i believe it will be a great idea. Also, I will do whatever on my end to make this possible if needed be. What do everybody think?  Please comment

I usually don't post much but I have a question about Beachy. I looked up his stats and I noticed he leads the team in strikeouts pitched. He has 29.1 IP to 31 K's and only 9 BB. The league leader right now is Hallady with 39. No I know Beachy will not lead the league in K's but why has a racked up so many so far? I thought the scouting reports on him were average stuff with good command. I did not know him to be a strikeout pitcher. Is it just because he's a rookie and hitters have yet to figure him out? Do you think he can keep up averaing more than a K per IP? What kind of stuff he has and what is is main strikeout pitch? Sorry if I am asking too many questions. I just want to know more information because i thought this was interesting. 

I was on the Mets blog site amazinavenue.com and I seen alot of comments about J-hey and about how hey didn't deserve all the attention from the media. Here goes one of the comments:

Do the division a favor and humble Heyward and the Braves! I am tired of seeing the Braves pat themselves on the back for drafting Heyward and putting him in the bigs to start the season. The man needs to be humbled and who better than the Mets do it.

I just wanted to see what you guys think. Here goes the link. The comments are halfway down the comments section.

I just wanted to know was it possible to get the stats of the players so far in ST. I just wanted to see how the players were doing. Is there a website I can go to for this information. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Now I have to make this 75 words. I am now at 59 words. I would do a fan shot but i am new at this. Again any help would be appreciated.

As we all know, We will be losing, Ro, Anders, and Reamer. I just wanted to get yall opinions on who you think will be the starting LB's next year. I think it will be Hightower, of course, joined by Nico. I also think it will be Tana and Upshaw on the outside. These are the four i think with the best chance of starting and I believe will be the most talented LB corps to ever start. What do yall think?

Do anybody know what's going on with Star Jackson. I know he was good in high school. What do yall think his chances are with Alabama. I really like him alot but it seems like he has not been doing too good. I was hoping he would have a great career at Bama but with AJ getting alot of praise and having a good spring and Phillip Sims signing, do yall think Star will be the odd man out. I hope he gets a chance to play and show what he can do. What do yall think?

Starting Rotation

1. Jair Jurrjens

2. Tommy Hanson

3. Cole Rohbrough (He will turn it around! He will be a beast)

4. Julio Teheran

5. Randall Delgado

Lineups

C. Brian McCann

1B. Freddy Freeman

2B. Martin Prado/ Robert Brooks(?) (Watch)

SS. Yunel Escobar

3B. Player thru trade

LF. Cody Johnson (You see me, Hi Haters!)

CF. Jordan Schafer? (Kinda iffy on this one) or Adam Milligan (Yes I know he's a LF)

RF. Jason Heyward

Willie Cabrera will also be in the mix, but not an everyday player. He will be another Matt Diaz. He will start more against lefties.

I know yall think I'm crazy. Let me see yall lineups.

Hey I want to know everybody's opinion on Cody Johnson. I believe Cody Johnson will be a great player. Next to Heyward, He's my favorite Brave position player. Rohbrough and Teheran are my favorite pictures. Do you think the braves will take a chance on him or do you think they will eventually trade him before he makes it to the bigs? I know the guy strikes out a ton. I honestly think he has the potential to put up a .290 avg w/ 30+ HR. I know some people think this is crazy because he strikes out so much, but i know he will do it. I just wanna know do you think he will make it to the majors as a brave or do you think he will make it with another team. I see an outfield of heyward, schafer (or mclouth) (depends on how jordan comes back from the injury), and CJ in 2012, from right to left. I'm not saying that this is the first year they will be in the bigs, but this will be the opening day roster. What do yall think? Let me have it. I'm ready.

Hey everybody. This is my first post. I just wanted to know if anybody knows what happened to a 2B we had named Robert Brooks. The last time i heard he was on the Danville roster but when I checked the roster I didn't see his name. He was a very good kid with alot of potential. He was a kid they signed out of Auburn. Can anybody help me out with this please? Thank you
