Any updates on Smoltzie or Glavine??

dabraves — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 01:23:19 -0000

Just wanted to know if anyone has heard how rehab has been going for the two old farts on the staff ( that is if we resign them, god I hope we do cant help but love em).

And also is Smoltz looking at returning to the bullpen or wanting to stay in the starting rotation?

Any chance if Tommy wasnt healthy enough to stay in the starting rotation would he consider moving to the pen as a strong lefty mid reliver for us. ( please dont cuss me just a thought, he could be horrible in the pen).

Just informing the ones that are not informed.. Spurrier..

also said no. And I believe after the comments he made about the university of tn and coach fulmer after this years game we would all take in consideration he is off the table (sorry couldnt find the link to the comments, I remember it was from a columbia,sc newspaper). I hope everyone will start moving to names as leach, muschamp, kiffin, and some other new faces I have heard in knoxville ( please inform me if any of these guys have also said NO). So, here is the link

Didnt know if anyone on this site knows davis said...

No, to UTK. I've seen alot of chatter trying to see if anyone had any new leads on coaches and I keep seeing Davis' name. Here is the link, it originally came from ESPN. And no, I dont think Davis is another Rich Rodriguez, N. Saban, that is only being polite to his team. I think he really likes the idea to build up Chapel Hill.

2009 NFL Draft??

dabraves — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 02:58:36 -0000

Im assuming the bengals will be in the top five 09 draft. I've looked at the early ESPN suggested draft picks and dont have a clue who would fit the bengals for the first couple of rounds. Just would like to hear some opinions on who everyone thinks cincy would go for in the early rounds. God knows Im praying for some good picks that will make an impact and show up for us.

Any info on the Murph?

Just curious on some info on my childhood favorite Dale Murphy. How is the man, Ive heard he has been involved with some politics, but not confirmed. Also, does any of his boys play proffesionally? I know there is a couple of Murphy's in the bigs, not sure if related at all. Just curiosity from a big fan...Thanks

P.S. Is there any chance he could still get in the Hall Of Fame?

To the true braves fan...

I just wanted some feedback from some true braves fans. I get on here from time to time and enjoy alot of posts and comments fans make on all the problems in braves world. I would just like to ask how many of you actually go to braves games? And does anyone agree that the mighty braves have the worse home support crowd in the majors? I know the braves have fans all over the world, trust me I know personally and I blame my father everyday. But is it just the braves attendance numbers that lie? Or is Hott Atlanta a real bad place for Baseball? (And football, basketball..cant blame you guys there). Im sure I will get some great answers, and I hope I can get some stats thrown at me.

Can the braves not cut Hampton?

dabraves — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 00:14:07 -0000

I dont know enough about baseball to know the rules of cutting players from your team. But MY GOD! Im so sick as im sure every brave fan is of getting my hopes that hampton will actually be able to earn his 14mil a year paycheck. The braves have continued to stick with him the past three years with no result of him ever being reliable. CAN THEY NOT JUST CUT THE GUY? Please someone clear this up for meB
