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.

      XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.

      Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.

      Panthers sign International Pathway Player

      Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
