Chipper criticizing Fredi on The Brian Kenny Show. Saying you got to dance with the girl that brought ya.

 

[vols 30]

Don't really know who's out there that's a viable option at this juncture, but at this moment I don't even care. Boot him.

Worst case scenario: Braves fire Fredi, hire Dusty Baker.

Lol, can't believe we didn't have any people impersonating UT administrators contacting Gruden.

Haden said somebody pretending to be a USC official repeatedly tried to speak to an unnamed member of the Denver Broncos' coaching staff about the opening. Jack Del Rio, the Broncos' defensive coordinator and the former Jacksonville head coach, is a former USC linebacker who has been linked to the job before Kiffin was hired and after he was fired.

Another phony school representative contacted Tony Dungy, the former Tampa Bay and Indianapolis coach. Dungy talked about his apparent contact with USC on a national radio show Monday, saying he turned down the representative and outlining what the Trojans need in a new coach.

Word for word what I said. Nice

Just got an email from the UTAD about tickets in the lower level for the remaining three home games for 170 if anyone wants me to pass that along to them.

Sup guys.

Called in to work today. Zaxby's is the only thing on the to do list.

Also we have lost 8 straight playoff series. Eight. EIGHT!!!

Good move.

Had to stuff I had to get done this AM. Out the door ASAP when that's accomplished

God hates us

I was 8 years old last time we won a playoff series

I rarely call out, but today wasn't gonna happen. Best move ever.

Agree with the Fredi bashing but this article has some good points as well

Don’t blame Fredi Gonzalez for last night’s loss. Blame the Braves culture. | HardballTalk

Unfair to chalk that up to organizational culture. I dare say that 90% of MLB managers run their bullpen that way. It's not really right, but it's the way things are.

The ironic thing is that the most famous HR the Braves ever gave up in World Series play was when Bobby Cox brought in his closer to face Jim Leyritz in the 6th inning of game 4 in 1996.

If I didn't have a lab test today, I wasn't going to class.

I wish I realized how special the 90's were for both the Braves and Vols.

Now still beats the hell outta the 80s, as least from the Braves perspective.

Dick move by chipper.

Ha well it was still pretty heartbreaking outside of 95 and 98. Which were awesome!

Dick move by chipper.

Yeah I was wondering what his tweets were all about. Now we know, dick move indeed.

Dick move by chipper.

Exactly. It's not like Chipper was the most beloved teammate of all time.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Lol dick or not he did nail the prediction. But you keep that prediction to yourself. You just don't do that.

 

[zjcvols]

Dick move by chipper.

It's different if you're in the analyst mode or ten years removed from the team.

Doing it on a random radio show a year after you played on the team is kind of a dick move.

Like, if John Smoltz picked the Dodgers I'd be okay with that.
