Obviously, the Braves haven't provided much inspiration to write a blog. To be honest with you, I find myself struggling to watch a game these days.
I did find this section of an article on www.braves.com rather interesting:
"If the Braves are supposedly going to be big spenders in the offseason, I was wondering who the big-name free agents are going to be."
--Chris L., Fountain Inn, SC
Braves Beat writer, Mark Bowman responds, "Braves general manager Frank Wren's wish list will include two frontline starting pitchers and a power-hitting outfielder. CC Sabathia and Ben Sheets headline the list of frontline starters that could be available. Take one step down and the likes of Andy Pettitte, Jon Garland or Brad Penny could find themselves on Wren's radar.
In terms of outfielders, the Braves could go after Adam Dunn, Raul Ibanez, Bobby Abreu or Pat Burrell. If Vladimir Guerrero's option isn't exercised, he might also find himself on Wren's radar."

That's all here, folks. Thanks for reading.
Okay, now back to my Braves strike.

The pitching has got to improve, and I'd be a happy camper if we got either Sabathia or Sheets. Heck, why not both!?
Luke,
You have to stay with the Braves through it all. Ask your Dad about the cellar days of the 60s, 70s & 80s – 20 to 30 games back was the norm. Except for 69 (maybe 71), 82 (maybe 83) we all had to wait till 91 to get really excited and follow a pretty amazing run of success. The Braves will be back on top again!
Next year change your red background to blue for luck.
Anonymous,
Don't worry...I'm definitely sticking with them. I'll take your advice in changing my background to blue...although I'm not convinced that will do too much. The Braves have some decisions to make...and with that said, they definitely have their work cut out for them to even make a run at a division title next year.
They seem to have a problem with letting go of the older "feel good" veterans...like Smoltz, Glavine, etc. Time to rebuild....not from the ground up...but some rebuilding definitely has to occur.
