Remember when I said that in a month I'd hate that set of predictions in my last article? Yeah... It's been approximaetly eight days, and I hate them already. Why? It's really quite simple: A bunch of revelations...
For those of you who follow me, you know that I've been taking a close look at the Braves' offseason options over the past few weeks. I made one swooping prediction/suggestion about a month ago...
So, we've already gotten through the Adam LaRoche situation .Now, let's talk about the guys the Braves could be shipping out for some hole-filling.Here are the guys who shoul be on the block from the Braves' '09 payroll...
As promised , here is the early-offseason decision-making series.Let's go in the order of the questions I posed in the linked piece above, and start with Adam LaRoche...

Tonight, while watching two of my least-favorite teams bid for a World Series title, I realized how much I have truly hated the past four Octobers. This year especially. I have no rooting interest...
So far, we've looked at two names that the Atlanta Braves could pursue this offseason in Prince Fielder and Juan Rivera.We'll continue in the Juan Rivera-esque direction (as in realistic options) with this piece...
We all know what the Braves will be after this offseason (for those of you who don't, it's a right-handed power threat to stick between Brian McCann and Chipper Jones).Right now, it's wide open as to who they'll go after...
Hey Guys, Let me start by saying that I love Bleacher Report. I love sharing my opinions. I love getting commenter feedback. I love interacting with fellow fans. But I now do have a problem with this place...
Let me preface this by saying that I'm not trying to float my own boat. This is an attempt to thank some of the people who have helped me, as well as a look back at some of my experiences. So, here it is...
Of late, rumors have been swirling over the availability of Milwaukee's Prince Fielder.American League clubs have been at the center of the possible "Prince Fielder Sweepstakes," but I have an interesting proposition...
To think, Braves fans had it all two days ago. The Braves were on fire, the Rox were, to an extent, scuffling, and they sat only two games back. An unlikely series of events would still have to occur...
The 2009 Atlanta Braves' season. You wanna talk about an emotional roller coaster? How about we start with this topic and then move on to your example? This is setting up to be, by far, the most exciting final week that I've seen since...

The Braves are sitting at 70-67, 7.5 games behind the red-hot Rockies. Doing some guesstimations, I figure the Braves need 92 wins (the Rockies have to go 13-11 to get to 91 wins), which would require a 22-2 stretch run...
Before I start, I am not saying that the Braves should fire Bobby Cox. If I see that in the comments, your comment will be flagged. That's my warning (I appreciate opinions, but not stuff like that)...
We all know about Chipper Jones' recent slump. It always seems as if hes going to break out of it tomorrow. If not tomorrow, the next day. And if not that, then next week. Then it's just eventually...
