I love Bobby but I have to admit that it's probably time. I wonder if they'll stay within the organization in 2011 or go outside.

yes. hes said he would play some sort of role in the organization for the next five years.

as a braves fan im not sure how to feel about this. hes one of the greatest ever, but i think its time.

I dunno, he said he would feel weird managing at 70 (after next year). Too bad though, they got a great nucleus shaping up for another good run.

what are you talking about. Next year their lineup will be

C - McCann

1 - ?

2 - Prado/Infante/Johnson

3 - Chipper the dipper

SS - Escobar

LF - ?

RF - Jason Heyward

CF - Nate McClouth/Roids Schafer

Laroche is walking, so they'll probably either sign some asshole or stick brandon jones there before he's too early.

Soriano is gone and Hudson will probably have to be traded because of his contract if they want to resign Matt Diaz, which they pretty much have to.

they'll basically have three starters worth a damn, no middle relief after bobby pitches peter moylan's arm off, no closer, no power whatsoever, a black hole at third, and his horrible managing.

A shame his pitching staff so often krapped their pants in the bright lights of the playoffs.

uh really it had more to do with bobby's horrible bullpen management, lineup management, the team's inability to sign any significant bats, and jim leyritz doing roids

bobby cox should have been fired after sending in Leibrandt to face Puckett in the '91 series after Kirby had been slaughtering everything left-handed all season.

that fat bastard was batting .406 with a ludicrous 1.045 ops against lhp

well ned yost is available. he was the heir apparent for years before going to milwaukee

snitker or hubbard could do it. there's always been rumors that franco is going to come manage one day.

Tom Glavine: 14-16 lifetime playoff record.

Greg Maddux: 11-14 lifetime playoff record

Steve Avery: 5-3 lifetime playoff record

John Smoltz: 15-4 lifetime playoff record

FFS look at 1991 through 2004.

13 post season chokes.

1 World Series trophy.

John Smoltz could not overcome his teammates weaknesses.

In fact if you're a Brave fan, you may as well be an Atlanta Falcon fan.

      And even worse you have injuries force you to play anther one dimensional train wreck combine that with Orlov being no were close to as advertised and boom you have 3 defensemen being dressed who couldn't defend my 96 year old grandmother. That said next year having Slavin,Miller,Nikishin,Chatfield gives you the best shutdown d man in the league two large athletic HIGH offensive potential D who can take away time and space....   The more I think about it the more I like this seasons approach, if you bring back burns or aquire anther large RHS with length you have 5 D all over 6'2 and 210 with three of them having great offense too, make no mistake they want size and skill on the blue line now and its almost 100% directed at getting past FL.

      Honestly the 2024 draft class(minus brooks). All are in line to be starters, expect crumedy who's fighting for a 53.  Still that class was looking terrible, is now looking like 4 starters and maybe 1 depth. Anytime you draft 2 starters and a key depth piece its a good draft. 4 starters are rare and that's with brooks who could have made 5 starters if not for awful luck.  That draft also helped land starter Michael Jackson in a round about way, big bonus..
