Hudson refutes report, says he wants to stay

"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.

Kelly Johnson arrested, charged with aggravated battery

ATLANTA, GA (AP) — An Atlanta man was arrested and charged with aggravated battery on Wednesday afternoon after police say he bashed a man across the head while he slept.

Atlanta Police Chief Richard Pennington says Kelly Andrew Johnson, 27, was taken into custody on Wednesday afternoon following a brief standoff at his downtown condominium. No one was injured.

A witness told officials that he saw Johnson bash Martín Manuel Prado of Maracay, Venezuela, across the head with a steel pipe as he slept in his Duluth home. Investigators took time in gathering the evidence before obtaining warrants for Johnson's arrest. Atlanta Police refused to discuss any motives.

Prado, 25, has been experiencing strange neurological symptoms since the attack and is now undergoing a thorough battery of tests to determine what damage may have been caused in Johnson's alleged attack.

At press time, no bond had been set. Johnson is set to be arraigned on Thursday morning in an Atlanta court.

Braves-Nation sucks, by the way.

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

Regarding Garret Anderson...from a Braves fan

I asked Halos Heaven about Garret Anderson and his lazy and apathetic demeanor on the field. Here are their responses...

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 to Garret because of his on-field body language. He appears statuesque and almost bored to death in the field and there's just a general dislike for him. He's gotten nicknames like "Jogging G.A.", "Uncle Garret's Sleepytime Jamboree" and "F.U.G.A."

Personally, I think it's dangerous to draw conclusions based on body language--people are different and have different emotional responses to certain situations. He's had a couple of questionable baserunning decisions with regards to hustle but I'm just curious for your opinions on this.

Thanks, Go Braves, and Go Angels.
