For over four years now, I can't think of one time where the team as a whole looked like they wanted to go to the playoffs. I'm not talking about spurts of four of five games because there are plenty of those examples dating back to us scoring an ungodly amount of runs in 2006 right before and right after the All Star Break.
I'm talking about the team wanting it for more than a month, o

ESPN broke the news a few minutes ago on Sportscenter. This is a very interesting trade in that its inside the division. I wonder how much a left handed bat can help the Braves lineup. What are everyone else's thoughts.

I hope Hudson can come back and contribute the second half. I love is approach toward the game and he brings chemistry to the club house. I think if he comes back we can move maybe Kiwakami to the bull pen. I hope we can have Hudson in the rotation a couple of more years. We would have one hell of a rotation, with Javier V., LOWE, JURGENS,HANSON AND HUDSON. Maybe we can trade for a power guy

....about whether the Braves are buyers or sellers for 2009, I think the team has answered that question over the last 3 games.
Like many of you, I was very excited by our sweep of the Phillies last week. But, we have shown that we cannot score runs consi

Why not try Matt Diaz out in right field as he will prob.; hit better than Frenchie. It still amazes me how down hill he has really gone.
As everyone has said a trade is going to happen and soon, the Braves are only 4 games out and they swept the

Who will be the big bats out there next year that we might go after? I guess we will keep the same rotation for next year, at least i hope we do. But will we have the money next year to go after a couple of big name bats. Chipper is not getting younger i would think we would sign a couple of infielders, or what do we have in the minors that might be on the big club next year.

Back in Spring Training, there were a lot of people debating whether ot not to sign OF Andruw Jones. A lot of people were smitten with Jordan Schafer and thought he could end up being the next Andruw, so the Jones-Braves reunion was not to be. Now, he is with the

Well what can you say about this kid. I had to work today and couldn't watch it on the tube but I did catch the play by play on my phone's gamecast... 6 strong innings, just 2 hits and 2 walks...
Just for the record, here are the following numbers. That makes the Braves 5-0 when Hanson is the starter, whi

The Pirates are wanting to dump him and Adam Laroache onto someone. I would like to have Sanchez, he can play multiple positions. But still need a power guy, ain't crazy about Laroache. Sanchez probably to expensive for us though.

Just saw this piece and thought it was pretty sweet:
Dunn’s 300th home run ball was caught by U.S. Army Col. William Sanders, who returned it to Dunn, asking for nothing in return. Dunn gave him an autographed jersey, a couple of autographed baseballs and told Sanders to call him if he ever wanted tickets to a game.
Now, that is something all players need to look at.

I'm pasting below an aritcle from Mark Bradley of AJC.com about 6 possible trades for the Braves. Pretty interesting reading.
Personally, I don't think we should give up Yunel Escobar in a trade right now unless it involves a stud first baseman or outfi

I look through everyones postings almost everyday. I see all the talk about trade rumors surrounding javy vasquez. I also read alot of people saying we cant trade this guy, he has pitched awesome but has gotten no run support, and if he had he would be a 10 game winner right now. I believe this is true, but he is probably one of your most valuable trading pieces at the deadline.&

Can Jason Bay be aquired from the Redsox before the deadline, would playing with Nate McLouth give him some incentive to consider a trade to Atlanta?
What would the Braves have to offer to aqui

The rumors of an impending deal involving Yunell Escobar ticks me off to no end. The guy is a great player with one of the best arms from shortstop in the whole game. Solid bat, good defensively overall. Yes, he may act immature sometimes and yes he makes bad errors occasionally, but the man is too valuable to trade unless you get an allstar in return. I'd love to see Escobar and Infante or
