For some reason when he got to the bigs, he started calling himself "James". I can't stand "James". Everyone I've known that called himself "Jimmy" was a pedophile. Okay, it was just the one guy, but he was a MAJOR pedophile.

@Afino: I'm also tired of hearing about Tex's slow start, and how it's just a few little nagging injuries that are holding us down. Isn't this what we should have foreseen? I still believe we have all the talent we need, but keeping it all together is what separates the division winners from a scrappy third-place team.

It would also appear that Frank Cashen's plan behind the scenes to ruin the Braves is finally working. Second Spitter is doing a bang-up job as pitching coach wasting the pen and making the starters inneffective and frequently injured.

]]> <![CDATA[So Let Me Introduce To You, The One And Only Jimmy Shields ...]]> @Afino: Yeah, but Doyle's right/ Bobby will burn up the pen if our 1 and 2 can't give us 6 or 7 strong. And the offense...ick. Yes, it's still April, but mercy, even out quick.

]]> <![CDATA[So Let Me Introduce To You, The One And Only Jimmy Shields ...]]> @ghostsoftheSCupcountry:

Well that was my point with the second comment. They are T-3 in the NL in runs scored, 3rd in runs allowed, but are 12-13 because of inconsistency.

At least for the last two weeks, it hasn't been the bullpen's fault.

Afino

Doyle McPoyle

Too bad that's not really the problem right now. They can't hit their way out of a brown paper bag and they're 0-8 in 1-run games.
