Goodbye, TalkingChop
by GoBravesNY on Jun 13, 2011 6:08 PM EDT
on Talking Chop
This is a really awkward post, so I'm going to cut the intro. I'm not sure how many of you realized that I'm no longer a moderator here at TC, because admit it- nobody reads past the FanShots anyway.
Anyway, the reason I'm no longer a mod here is that I'm taking a year long trip around the world. And thus, I won't be spending any time around these parts of the internetz, though you all will hear from me when I get back. I leave the 20th, and I will try my best to make it to at least one GT before I leave.
I want to thank you guys for being the best blog out there. So goodbye for now, until we meet again.

Always good to hear an update
Fangraph's Team Preview: Atlanta Braves
This is relevant to my interests. Though Remington is somewhat pessimistic when it comes to our beloved Braves
You've been moderated (a quick reminder of TC rules)

I want to start by saying that I am not an eloquent speaker (or a very good writer for that matter), hence the fact that I am a moderator and not an author, so don't look for good writing.
But, the blatant ignoring of the TC rules that has occurred in the past few days has been ridiculous so I cleaned up the front page of TC.
And, just in case you don't remember the TC rules, here you go:
I want to stress that while we're not going to curb every single bad word that is said, try and keep it in check. There has been a recent (or not so recent) trend of people getting warned/banned for language. Use your best knowledge.
And for the love of Heyward, if something is rosterbation put it in the rosterbation thread. Please.
(FTR there were other posts I could've deleted but I let slide because they were just from too long ago)

I love PeMo
Possibly one of the greatest things on his blog:
"Frank Wren had another stellar week ( he is number 1 in the fantasy GM rankings at this stage ) by resigning my boy Eric Hinke, it’s amazing the difference team chemistry can make to the success of an organisation as seen this year. Ski was an integral part of this and I cant wait to see what he has install for us next year. He also signed Scott Linebrink, now I don’t know Scott personally but from what I hear he is a great addition and from what I have seen he is down right nasty. Im still sending Wags an email a week trying to persuade him not to retire but it’s not working."

Hello everyone. Long time, no internet speak. Things appear to be pretty slow around here, so I thought I'd start one of those classic Photoshopping threads.

All the best, Bobby. We're gonna miss you
The game literally just ended and emotions are still raw. But personally, that was one damn good series and IMOone great way for Bobby to leave considering that it was in a loss.But, we're not talking about the series in this thread. This thread is for Bobby Cox tributes from you guys, the fans. Maybe we'll print it and send it to Bobby, who knows.

NAHWAL Season Wrapup
by GoBravesNY on Oct 7, 2010 8:14 PM EDT
on Talking Chop
Hello everybody. Who's excited for the playoffs? I am, and I can't go into the playoffs without wrapping up NAHWAL. On a side note, there will NOT be a NAHWAL for the playoffs. I emailed gondeee, and he said, basically, that it's just better not to. So I guess the next time you'll see this is next season. That being said, a few highlights from my point of view:
1. Whenever Huddy would start, and he'd be everyone's, no really, everyone's, Pick to Click. That was awesome.
2. The immense pressure put on brndn at the beginning of the year by Jim Abott's Right Hand Man, who then promptly disappeared
3. My lackadaisical scoring.
4. My nonexistent scoring.
5. My promising to score, and then not scoring.
6. The fact that at minimum, 115 total people played NAHWAL at some point this year
Standings can be found after the jump

Yeah, so I'm on my way out of town, so this will be the final thread for the year. Hopefully we win some games so that it stays on the homepage. If you are still playing, congratulations, you even outlasted me. So what I did is I've only scored since the 20th (that'll make 2 full weeks of scoring when the season ends) so that would've counted as the final series had I been scoring the whole time. Hopefully that'll be somewhat of a makeup to you guys. I'll score this thread when I return to town.

Phillies@Dodgers OT 8/31
by GoBravesNY on Aug 31, 2010 10:08 PM EDT
on Talking Chop
The Phillies game starts in under 10 minutes, and Ben hasn't posted about our game yet, so use this to chat about the Phuckers/Dodgers if you so choose.
Meanwhile, we won big, and DRoss is yet again, awesome. I also love how on his triple, SNY was excusing it to Beltran's legs. Yes, he could've caught it, but you have to give Ross credit for running all the way.
mvhsbball says: Also, keep an eye out for MLBTR. There's a chance Glaus may be moved
Chat away
Other games of note:
Cliff Lee got rocked by KC,
Haren vs. King Felix out in Seattle
Det and Min in a good, close game
Col/SF has two young studs pitching
