Astros vs. Braves - Pictcha Post
Ah, yes. As Mac Thomason wrote at Braves Journal, there's "nothing like a dose of the Astros to cure what ails you." Rain loomed for a while Saturday at Turner Field but never came. Eventually,...

Hudson refutes report, says he wants to stay
5"This makes me sound like I'm saying ‘Screw y'all, I'm out of here,' which isn't the case at all. I've said all along that Atlanta was the place I want to be and that I'm willing to give them a hometown discount.

A year ago today, July 3rd, 2008, Jeff Francoeur was sent to AA Mississippi. "I do not agree with this, but I have to do what I have to do," Francoeur told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in a text message that morning. "This has really put a damper on my relationship with the Atlanta Braves." At the time of his demotion, Francoeur had an OPS of .662. Today, July 3rd, 2009, Francoeur has an OPS of .628. Send him back, Frank!

Regarding Garret Anderson...from a Braves fan
Greetings, Halos Heaven. I come with a question: has Garret Anderson always had "lazy" and "lackluster" body language? I ask this because many Braves fans this year are incredibly resistant...

Tom Glavine, LHP, free agent: Looks as though he'll be slipping into retirement, spending time with the kids and settling into family life. Glavine is about to receive the first of six deferred annual payments of $2.5 million from his Mets contract. He's also shying away from a grievance against the Braves.

5Is there not enough patience to help him work his way through it? Whoever thought it could come to this for Jeff Francoeur. There are very few fairy tales in this game, Furman. The fact of the matter is, that "Homegrown Hero" has a .244 average with 16 home runs, 96 RBIs, and a .659 OPS in 210 games since Sept. 19, 2007. The Braves have demonstrated more patience than 98% of professional organizations would have. After last season, most teams would have non-tendered Francoeur. Dead weight ultimately will never survive on a Major League roster.

4When I look at myself in the mirror, I'd have to say that my fault is that I've given Francoeur a break for far too long. There's no doubt that the leniency stems from the fact that he's a great guy. But at the end of the day we all have a job to do. My job is to relay information to the public and thus, I've written two entries this week preparing you for the possibility that Frenchy's days in Atlanta might be numbered. It will be very difficult for the Braves to trade him. As for a return to the Minors, I don't know if that would help anybody. Thus, you can't ignore the possibility that if things don't improve soon there's a definite possibility that they could release him.
