I. Read Mike Vick's indictment; it spells out what a disgusting piece of trash he really is.
Highlights:
1. Vick and his 3 co-defendants "rolled" or "tested" animals to judge their fighting ability. If they were deemed weak, they were either: 1) shot, 2) electrocuted, or 3) beaten to death.
2. "Rape stands" and various other devices were found on his property. These instruments are used to force aggressive females into submission for breeding purposes.

What a moron. Coincidentally, former co-MVP Daunte Culpepper was finally released by Dolphins yesterday. He is available and is a MUCH better fit for our offense. Prognosticators already have him in Atlanta.
II. I stumbled on this Braves blog while looking at AJC.com. It's pretty funny stuff. It's a series of pages dedicated to Chris Reitsma (for blowing all those saves the past two years), Mike Hampton (for 3 years of no starts and a $14.5 million salary), Chipper Jones (injuries), and Jarrod Saltalamacchia (it's called startsalty.com).
Smoltz is off the DL and starting today against the Reds. Hopefully he can help salvage one game out of the series.
Trade rumors: In an effort to shore up first base, the Braves have apparently been talking to the Washington Nationals about acquiring all star Dmitri Young. Also included in the discussion is Reds 1st baseman Scott Hatteberg. Either acquisition would solidify the infield and greatly improve the lineup. BUT is Salty the better long term option at first? Yes. For this season, though, it's better to platoon him at first and catcher and use him off of the bench (we have a pathetic bench). That way he's in the game pretty much everyday and all of our immediate needs are addressed.
Also rumored to be on the trading block (by me, Ryan, and nobody else) is Dontrelle Willis. Buddy Carlyle and Chuck James have proven to be valuable starters in the #3 and #4 spots, respectively, but we need to solidify the 5th spot if we want to get into the postseason. Florida deals its talent each year that it finds itself out of the division/wild card race (read: all but the two World Series years), and we're sure that the D-Train wants to play in a bigger market. Good for him, good for us, good for the Marlins. 5th pick, 6th round. Lock it up. Championship!

The thing that bothers me most about the Vick thing is his legion of supporters that still try to defend him and say things like "He's really talented and talent always wins out [...] The fans love him and that's what sells tickets."*

There is a solution to Bobby Petrino's problem.
I still want to get a Ron Mexico Falcons jersey.
Maybe I'll get it and let a dog chew it up.
Mexico #7 jerseys are out.
Ookie #7 jerseys are in.
What about Leonard #60 jerseys?
Did you know the Euro's monetary value is based on the market for Leonard #60 jerseys?
you forgot to mention the Braves picked up Julio Franco when the Mets released him a couple of days ago. he is a career .300 hitter. i estimate his career has spanned over about 83 years.
Vick is a piece of trash.
