Not sure how I feel about this,I can't say I dislike Jones all that much,I guess I will wish him a speedy recovery.

The Greg Commandments

Don't Root For Injuries. In Game Five of the 1988 NLCS at Shea, Kirk Gibson slid into second and came up in obvious pain. Mets fans cheered. There, I thought, that's it, we're screwed. Be a human being about these things. Wish no pain on anyone. Wish they enjoy a pain-free three-month stay on the DL instead.

(I've got to say there's some internal-logic issues there. A three-month stay on the DL is never pain-free. Wish that your enemies fall before your skills, not before inujurious fates.)

No evil intentions on my part, just relaying the news.

Braves surviving day one of Larrlessness by going up by a half dozen on
Zambrano who looked like crap and the D behind him not much better.

Zambrano and Barrett got into fisticuffs in the dugout after Z's last inning.

(I suppose this could go in a new thread of oots or something)

oe: It's not really day one, he hasn't played all week

Of course I never thought you had,now that we have established no ill will for Jones this obviously doesn't bode well for the Braves,he was having a fine season,Andruw will have to step things up a few notches.

Zambrano's not doing himself a lot of favors as he goes on his FA-gency season tour.
His 5.26+ ERA and near 1.5 WHiP weren't looking too good before today's semi-disaster and a quick scan of his games shows only 2 or 3 good ones out of 11 starts this season.

And I don't think yapping the whole season and then punching your catcher helps things much either.


It just shows that guys play much better in their walk years ... except when they don't.

I don't want Larry to be hurt.

I just want him to suck.

I'll take him. Barrett started it maybe.
