What a flat out amazing run.

[Freeze]

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.

[Epistaxis]

I'm betting this is contract wrangling and he aint goin' nowhere.

[Scrumtrilescent]

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.

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.

it's really not

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.

Hellova manager.

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.

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.
