Forgive Me Father, For I Have Sinned...



The first annual family migration to AZ is almost upon us. This trip will be filled with awesome stuff including, but not limited to; 18 holes of golf in hell, good food, GH3, dunkball, pool lounging, and the Braves vs. Diamondbacks game.

I now have a confession to make. I do not follow the Braves as closely as I should, I don't own a Braves jersey, the only Braves shirt I have was given to me by Ri-Bone (thanks). You could say that I am a Braves fan by default. However, due to a terrible season and a devastating and contagious something or other, the team has been riddled with injuries. Now, that is not my fault. "I did not break the pace car" (Rome). But my problem now is that I only know the name of 1 player on the team without looking it up, and I don't even know how to spell it - Frenchy. I know that they have a new cf because the dough boy has been traded to LA. I know, it's ridiculous how little I have learned.

Now, I am excited to go and watch the game and I will cheer on the Braves. I am just asking for guidance from those who know more than I, and that have been there through thick and thin. I need to know what to watch for - if there is anything left. So I ask you, faithful Brave loving blungle members, to teach me to walk in the light of Bobby. Who is decent? Who is fat? Who even plays? Can any of them hit? I now am going to do a little research as it is the second step of my repentance process.

Sweet chair too (your welcome) Although this isn't the cardinal sin, it's pretty close. But, you can be made whole again.

As the biggest Braves fan of Team Awesome, and member of the Braves I will say that I own many Braves items, from seasonal objects, to a desk clock at work, to shirts, hats, golf towels, ect...

I could tell you all you need to know, maybe we will discuss Braves related topics at T Peso's today (that's where it's going down at 6:30). Just never ever, under any condition let me hear you utter the words "Corky Miller is awesome". I will kill you.

I just realized we didn't get to discuss the good and bad players. I'll give you another name though... Norton = no good.

By the way...scheduled starter for Friday...Jorge Campillo. We will miss Jurrjens by a day.

Campillo is still good though. I think he'll be in the rotation until he's like 40 too, which wont be long.
