Why I'm Glad the Braves Missed the Post Season...

Joe Morgan. I can't stand listening to him. I don't understand how anyone can. All he wants to do is talk about himself and what a great player he was. He finds a way to turn every comment by Jon Miller into a story about himself. I can't stand Joe Morgan. I just turned off the Pads/Cards game because I couldn't take it anymore.

The Braves lost a few coaches this week - big turnover for the coaches. I guess the Braves are like every other team now, don't win, then change everything. (kidding...kinda)

Pat Corrales departure is weird. The initial reports were that he was "out" by mutual agreement, but now I'm seeing that he "retired." I guess it doesn't really matter, but I just find it strange because he seemed to be Bobby's "right hand."

My predictions for the off-season:

1. Marcus Giles will be traded. I hate this. I like Giles. The Braves will get some good middle relievers in exchange, so I'll soon be able to get over losing a player of Giles caliber.
2. Andruw Jones will remain a Braves...at least for another year. He's gona get over $13 million next season. I don't see another team that has the ability to take that salary and have the ability to give up any talent in exchange. There are teams that can do one or the other, but not both. Jones won't be a Brave in 2008 (thanks Scott Boras).
3. Pete Orr will get resigned. He will not be the everyday second baseman in '07, however. Bummer.
