Forget the Super Conferences, How about the Mega Conference?
This would be an interesting schedule conundrum for the teams involved to say the least.
Caleb King to enter Supplemenmtal Draft
I thought he would go for some playing time somewhere. (If that's possible given the circumstances.) I doubt any team will even take a flyer on him in the last round.

A bit biased, i must say
I'm just gonna ramble. I'm getting antsy for the upcoming season.
I think we are gonna be pretty good. the offense should be outstanding. Our entire OL is back, and hopefully with an upgrade in Trinton Sturdivant.( Damn, i hope the best for that kid. I think he's may be NFL talent. I'd hate for him not to get a big check because of injuries.) But out O-Line should be great. Washaun and Caleb should be able to run at will. And if Murray can't throw to those monster TE's and AJ, he shouldn't be playing QB. We got a top 5 at wide out and two future first rounders at TE. Hell, I could throw for 3,000 with those guys. Five yard dump-offs and screens and let 'em run.
And the defense should be good too. Even with a new system, we got the speed to adjust. and any secondary with Boykin and Rambo is gonna do well. Opposing wide outs could get killed going up against our secondary. I think the new defense will take better advantage of overall defensive speed. Especially at LB. Those guys are gonna fly around.
Anyway, I'm predicting 11-2. 12-1 if we do well against the Cocks. And it's a long road with no days off going into Jax.
But Fluriduh loses at ALA, and the next week at home to LSU. For two SEC loses. We finish with one. Either the cocks or the gaytors. One, not both.
But on a lighter side, I remember going to the 2005 game in JAX. I lived in Wisconsin at the time. And had a buddy up there whose family lived in Ocala and, hence, he was a Gator fan. So we went to the game. I went as a Georgia fan, and he went as a retarded Fluriduh fan. Needless to say, he was impressed with how much better looking the Georgia women were when compared to what Fluriduh calls women. I just looked at him and said, "Yea, well, we don't raise cattle in Georgia."
I can't wait for the season to start. Anyone ever have some free tix available, let me me know. I'll keep the riff out of your area. I haven't been to a game since we played Auburn in the early 80's. And Bo ran for like 8,000,000 yards.

Favorite Player

I'm getting Braves fever and getting nostalgic thinking of seasons past. Went to my first game in '74. So, I got a lot of Bravo memories. So, I ask, who's your favorite Braves player of all time? Big boys don't count. Anybody can pick, Chipper, Murph, or Brian Asselstine.
I'm going with Rod Gilbreath. Don't know why. But he was my favorite player as a kid. I was a big fan of Rowland Office, too.
Anyway, just trying to kill time 'til Opening Day.

As we sit here awaiting the start of the season, believe it or not, I had an idea. I think we all know who is heading north. So, I got to thinking about nicknames players have had. Catfish, The Splendid Splinter, Three Fingers, Iron man, Mustard, Channel (anyone who guesses this players name and year, wins a prize), or the other multitude of lame nicknames that Chris Berman has come up with. We all have to have our favorites.
Mine is "The Human Rain Delay." Mike Hargrove with the Indians back in the day.
More of a rant against ESPN

Is everyone there who writes baseball for the website on Insider now? Is there anyone who writes for ESPN that's worth paying for to read? I used to go there after here to see if Jayson Stark was still holding out. But, alas, when the page loaded tonight after clicking on MLB, everything had a little orange box with the word "in" inside of it. It won't be too much longer before you have to pay for a box score there.
Big kudos for the guys writing and running this site.Your coverage of prospects is second to none. You guys do a fabulous job. Just wanted to say thanks!
Brilliant trade.

Frank Wren accomplished two things with this trade. He got he Braves a better RF and he single handidly made the Mets a non factor in the race this year. Nice job.
And I don't think FW is done. We still need a bat. I hope Garret is on a month-to-month lease. Maybe it's just me but Garret seems like the laziest ballplayer ever. Sure he can kinda sorta track down some fly balls, but he just seems lackadaisical on the bases. I don't think I've seen maximum effort on a grounder all year. Although, i will say he did a nice job admiring his double today before running it out. Where's Brandon Jones? I say if KJ who is on the "DL" while playing every day at AAA, learns how to hit again. We use Prado in LF. If, of course, FW can't work out a deal for a LFer with pop.
sorry if this is rosterbating, not completely sure of the concept yet.
Martin Prado

I been down on this team all year. Just didn't like the cohesiveness of what I had seen. And I hate to look like I'm joining some sort of bandwagon because of the last two games. Lord knows I love the Braves. Saw Hank PH in '74.
But watching that first game in the Phillies series.... I kinda thought I was watching a Braves/Orioles game from a few years ago.
Prado is the answer. This guy is gonna take us to the playoffs. He's a winner. He's just been waiting for a chance. This guy is singlehandedly going to be a spark in this club. He's going to get everyone going. The guy plays hard. He gives it everything each play. He plays the game like you are supposed to play it. That's gonna catch on. (At least I hope it does.)
I like the fact that Charlie Manual is going to see JJ and Javy pitch before he makes his choices for pitchers in the NL. Both of these guys ABSOLUTELY deserve to be on the All-Star team. So does Soriano, if any pitcher in the NL exemplifies "lights out", it's him.
And, seriously, you have to call shenanigans if BMac ain't the starting Catcher. We got four (extremely) deserving guys. Be elated if all four go, be happy if we get three, but, realistically, probably two. And that's is why you have to do away with the every team gets one rule. I believe in merit. This is for home field advantage in the WS. You shouldn't have to take a margin player just so every team is represented. The stakes are to large. Besides, is a Pittsburgh Pirates fan going to be that upset if one of their own isn't there? They probably wouldn't even know.
If the "Game Counts" let them pick the best players.
This Redmond kid looked good to me on TV the other day. Gotta love the MLB network. Now I can watch Minor League baseball during the day. It's a beautiful thing. Check you local listings.
I hope I'm not rosterbating here...but here's my lineup
CF-Nate McClouth --great player. plays like you are supposed to. Stupendous pick up.
SS-Yunel Escobar--just fun to watch. bit of an airhead. but just fun to watch.
3B-Chipper Jones--best 3 hitter ever. Nuf said
C-Brian McCann--First Ballot HOF (barring injuries)
2B-Martin Prado--This year's team MVP
LF-Anderson/Diaz--I still would like to see Diaz play more. plays like you are supposed to.
1B-Casey Kotchman--I see a big second half. Doulbleswise anyway. 80 RBI. Gold Glove.
RF-Jeff Francoeur--Maybe he can bunt Kotchmann over so the pitcher can drive the run in.
P-We have a good pitching staff. As long as Jeff and Buddy stay on the DL. Hanson has looked great, and JJ and Javy should be All-Stars. As well as Soriano. Can someone please tell Gonzo to pitch out of the stretch all the time.
I'm telling ya, Tuesday night, I thought I was watching the Braves/Orioles. Martin Prado is going to lead the way. He's won us two games in a row. I think I'm right here.
