Our mop/blowout guys are now pitching in key situations.

I don't quite understand how the team apparently thought they could just move everybody up and keep on with business as usual.

However they decided to resolve the three-catcher-driven roster conundrum, it shouldn't have been with somebody being traded for a bullpen arm that's still two years away.

They should have left Wood in AA if he isn't gonna be used in anything more than mop up time.

I was trying to be optimistic. But there is no way to look at that guy's numbers and not see it as a situation where they swapped Juanbomb for a dog, and all that's left now is to shoot the dog.

Surely Reed Johnson could have been traded for a bullpen arm. Or Schafer -- I'll begrudgingly admit that I don't want to see Schafer gone right now, but at least now would be the time to sell high on him. Surely they could have traded for a decent reliever somehow.

I've never been one of those advocates for an IQ test before you're allowed to post on this site because I know there are some backwoods TN fans that love their vols, but that guy right there.. I don't even know what to say.

Gearrin's 9 app. in which the game was tied or one-run separated the 2 teams: 7.1 IP, 12 hits and 7 earned runs. #Braves

I drank oceans of corn whiskey when I was in my early 20s. Then I went to a friend's house and he opened up a bottle of Springbank and it was like the clouds opened up and a shaft of light shone down on my (still gloriously hirsute) head. I drink far less whisk(e)y than I used to, but holy damn I love it so much more.

Don't get me wrong on the proper occasion when it suits my leisure I'll enjoy a nice upper to highest shelf scotch and enjoy it immensely. But at the end of the day I'm an ole country boy from Chapel Hill, TN by God and I like my whiskey to have KENTUCKY OR TENNESSEE on the label dammit. The exception (of course) being Jameson.. in which the thirst of my quench is indeed insatiable.
