Moving right along after yesterday’s way-too-long post about the Braves’ infield, let’s talk about the outfielders. Andruw Jones, CF It has been a rough year so far for Andruw. He’s only hitting .235/.348/.439 so far, which represents an increase in his walk rate but a decrease in pretty much everything else. Joe Simpson has been […]

In too deep: Braves Infielders
My weekly Braves post often doesn’t seem like the right place to dive in to player analysis. Usually, I just whip out the weekly WPA stats and leave it at that, but I want to start looking at the 2007 season as a whole. Today I’ll look at the Braves’ infielders and catchers, and I’ll […]
Braves struggle through another week, fall out of Wild Card
The Braves had a 3-4 week while playing without Chipper Jones, in the meantime learning that Mike Gonzalez is done for this year and probably the next. Bobby Cox was also thrown out twice over the weekend, so he could be dodging questions about the career ejections record for weeks now. Atlanta is now four games behind […]
Smoke on the water
I spent this past weekend in Valdosta, Georgia, which despite being in the state in which I live, is actually a long way away. It’s about a 5.5 hour drive from Ringgold and just a few miles from the Florida state line. If you haven’t kept up with the news, it’s also currently the Smoke […]

WordPress Security Issues This morning during my daily tech blog reading, I read a headline that 49 out of 50 WordPress blogs are vulnerable! What a way to grab readers! This blog is powered by WordPress, and while I’ve had my issues, I wouldn’t trade the functionality for anything. I can do pretty much anything […]
Guitar Hero 3 will be a must-own game
For me, at least. The first batch of songs for the latest installment in the popular RedOctane series was released today, and if this list is any indication, the game will be nothing short of spectacular. I never thought I’d be interested in the DDR-style games that basically only involve mashing the right button at […]
Disc Golf Tracking
Summer is upon us, and as the days grow longer, that can only mean one thing: I get to play more disc golf. I got hooked on the sport last summer, and from late June through mid-August, I played 36 rounds of 18 holes without going more than five days between rounds. As you might […]

Braves drop both series and five of seven
Losing two of three to the Red Sox is no big surprise, although I was hoping for better with Devern Hansack and Kason Gabbard starting against Smoltz and Hudson. Losing three of four to the Nationals is simply inexcusable, and the Braves have handed the Mets a 2.5 game lead in the NL East. This […]
Apparently I'm not alone
I noticed this morning for the second time that the layout on this blog had been changed against my will. It’s not a WordPress issue, it’s just someone doing a great job hacking my site. Now, I’m figuring out that it’s not just my problem; in fact, it’s a problem across Mysitespace (my hosting service). They have been […]
