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

I meant will the team stay in the organization to find a new manager or go look elsewhere.

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.

    • I could be waaaaaaay off about Kon. I do fault myself into, to borrow a NFL phrase heavily "RAS" nerd on players, too much. There are PLENTY of athletic freak shows that are playing overseas(or Amazon delivery) cause they never figured out NBA ball. I can easily miss seeing the talent. Plus did he only have 2 dunks on the season??(is that for real??) I didn't watch over a few hours of duke, but not one point did I think "That Kon guy is a top 4 pick in the upcoming draft". IMO I still foresee Ball bringing the ball up, doing his weak isolation game and never even looking for Kon. That's his best trait according to everyone, shooting right? I do not see ball, bridges, miller or even williams making the extra pass to Kon for him to shoot a 3.  Then defense-wise, Im not ready to type the amount of questions I foresee in his ability for guarding NBA SGs or bench SFs for that matter. Not that NBA players care to defend, but still..... I just feel he's a bad fit for the current hornets, trades are taking place tho... Liam to me is a decent comp for Kon and he fell some, but was a 29 overall pick. Still around 13-21 was the good solid range for Liam and I thought the same for Kon. This is just a classic case of I need to see it. It add to this, Kon is like garlic. Ball is like sugar and Miller is like flour. Mix it together and chef Lee is not going to get me to eat that dish..... Honestly I don't know why Im this vocal about Kon. In past years I would be patience and not post and see what the kid has. The other side, insert classic white boy terms here- _____, ______, _______< etc >. Hornets do desperately need them. His crafty back door cuts, his willingness to stay a extra 2 hours to refine lees plays, keep playing with bruised limbs. I heard from many reports he's mentally tough and hornets by all gods need that. God they are such pussys.  I hope Im wrong and if so, I will give Kon his just props.
