The wren is a bird known originally as a cave dweller, with a desire to live in dark spaces, but also for its loud songs. I don’t know if that means anything, though, for Braves’ GM Frank Wren, but it’s interesting nonetheless. Wren had been John Schuerholz’ #2 man after being unceremoniously shooed out of […]

Weekly Notes: January 11, 2008
2008 is already flying by for me because of the giant task at work known as YEAR END. Here’s what I’ve been thinking about this week: I’ve been thinking a lot about Ron Paul, and I want to make it clear that I don’t actually think he’s racist. I dug a bit more into the […]
Weekly Notes: November 21, 2007
I suppose I won’t keep my usual schedule this week, with tomorrow being Thanksgiving. We’ll have notes today and some basketball reviews over the weekend. I’ve been slacking this week on basketball, instead spending my time looking at everyone’s Black Friday deals, most of which have already been released. The Bargainist is a pretty reliable […]
Weekly Notes: November 16, 2007
It’s been a big week in sports, with some further cluttering of the BCS landscape, the beginning of the college basketball season, and the good old Hot Stove. And apparently other things are going on outside sports, but you probably don’t care to read about that here. Let’s get started: The first two GSC West […]
Weekly Notes: November 1, 2007
A few notes for your first day of November: I have been going to the movies less and less over the past year or so. There just aren’t that many that are worth making a trip to a theater and paying 3-4 times what you pay for a rental, and movies keep coming out on […]
A few more site bugs fixed
Rejoice in the splendor of my no-longer-tainted posting and commenting system. While Akismet might still think some of you are spamming me, at least there should not be a problem anymore when you click “Submit Comment.” Finally. I figured out that I had the problem pinned down to the wrong WordPress plugin (Category Page) and […]
Edgar, Andruw, and money to be spent
I’ve been pondering some of the Braves’ offseason issues for some time, and I’m not really sure what conclusions I have at this point, but I’ll share a few thoughts about the three big decisions that have shaped the immediate direction for the Braves. So long, Andruw Immediately following the season, we learned that the […]
Weekly Notes: September 27, 2007
I know it’s Thursday, but I thought I would change things up and do a regular notes post today, leaving football notes for tomorrow. It’s also an appropriate change to make heading into basketball season, when I will need to listen to plenty of Thursday night games for Friday game reviews. Let’s see how it works. […]
NL Playoff Scenarios
Apparently the Braves are still in this thing, with both the Mets and Padres collapsing in the past week, so let’s look at what could happen over the last five days of the regular season. The Teams All three NL division races are in play, with the leaders (New York, Chicago, Arizona) all holding two-game […]
Braves Check: Can the Braves win the NL Central instead, please?
The Braves are a game back of Chicago for first place in the NL Central after a big week that included a sweep of the Marlins and three more wins against the Brewers. What? You mean they’re still in the NL East? Fine. They’re 5.5 out and within a day or two from being mathematically […]
