The Atlanta Braves Thread VII

[wU-Tang Vol]

Rickey came up when I was my boy's age. He was still hanging on when I was in my 30s. I still miss him. He is by far my favorite player of all time.

Was not expecting that. I was thinking more Ty Cobb or Cool Papa Bell would have been more your childhood

 

[wU-Tang Vol]

That's awesome though. Ricky was a baller

Almost went with Cap Anson, but it's so hard to get past the racism.

Last week my dad showed my boy a picture of 15-year-old me wearing a 1985 Rickey Henderson Yankees shirtzee, and instead of laughing about my hair or how young I was, my kid was just angry that I was wearing a Yankees shirt. I've done a good job with that boy.

Raised him well if I do say so myself! Eff the Yanks, the Tide, the Gators, and Dawgs! Thats how you raise em right

The Yankees were so hapless in the mid 80s that my 15 year old self didn't have a problem wearing a Rickey Henderson shirtzee, especially since my own team was even worse. My dad didn't do as good a job instilling all these tribal hatreds in me as I have done in my own son. My kid gets irritated if I talk to somebody wearing a leghumper hat, which as you can imagine happens all the time since we live in Georgia. I've made sure to take lots of video of him talking about how much he hates the buttsniffers since I feel like it's inevitable that one day he's going to go to school over there.

Let him go to Tech. That will be a much better school for him

 

[wU-Tang Vol]

Yeah.. laugh it up fellas. I am having a serious bad feeling about CP. Believe it or not we really need that recruit. He is a rare talent. I would HATE to see him go to GA

I almost went to Georgia Tech instead of taking a free ride at UTK. I stayed home because there weren't any girls at Tech. I assume my kid is likely to make the same decision himself when he's 17.

My friend found a Dale Murphy signed baseball made out to his father, on his bathroom floor.

He asked me who it was or if it was anyone important (he doesn't follow sports) and when I freaked out a little and told him, he said "oh, cool."

Sitting on his bathroom floor .. I don't understand.

 

[GAVol]

What?? I had no idea this existed.

"Ask Dale" was must reading in the AJC for little GAVol.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

He was Chipper except always affable with impeccable values and with no supporting cast and a weekly advice column in the paper.

So he was anti-Hooters, eh?

Manny Ramirez is coming to memphis for four games in two weeks (assuming he's still in AAA) and you can sit on the front row for about $5

A) this is what minor league baseball is all about
B) sign me up for that

Sooo glad he didn't go to Georgia. He is amazing with a football in his hands. Can't wait to watch him in Minnesota. Speaking of that, his 40 at their OTAs was faster than Randy Moss' when he was there.

Lucky. Missed him in Nashville by one day.

Dale Murphy probably averted his eyes in a Cracker Barrel . . . and I know he wouldn't drink the coffee.

Fewer drunken twitter rants too.

Murphy's clean-living habits off the diamond were frequently noted in the media. A devout Latter-day Saint, or Mormon, Murphy did not drink alcoholic beverages, would not allow women to be photographed embracing him and paid his teammates' dinner checks as long as alcoholic beverages were not on the tab. He also refused to give television interviews unless he was fully dressed.

Wow, good ole Murph. What a great guy. He also has impeccable taste in music.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Then ya got Chipper running thru them hoes like drano. LOL.

Freddie is currently ahead of Puig. I'm not a big get and vote promoter but that's pretty cool. I actually want Puig in the game but when I do vote, I'll vote Freddie no doubt.

Here is a gif of Paulina Gretzky's jiggling her friends terrific boobs:

The Internet is awesome.

I had no idea how hot Hanley Ramirez has been since Puig's call up. His numbers are better than Yasiel's in the same 32 game span. Crazy to see 2 players that hot on the same team at the same time.

"Well, Ramirez has a higher batting average, just one fewer homer, one more RBI, and a higher OPS in the same number of games."

 

[TBrown]

I think people forget how good Hanley Ramirez is at baseball.

Man, it sucks that there are so many good players on the West Coast. The games are so late and they never air over here. I really wish Trout played on the East Coast especially.
