Open day thread

I think we're probably going to have one more game on Blogger but things should be ready on Saturday. Maybe not. Who knows? Anyway, everything's in motion.

Today's video is dedicated to Cody Ross! You'll see why 4:56 in.

I know that the players need the days off, but man, off days suck.

It's not on the official site or AJC, but ESPN just said that we re-signed Smoltzie to a new contract. And it could be worth up to three years(that's including this year).

My day just got a lot happier!!!

Also it looks like Cormier might be a little farther out than first thought.

from espn,

ATLANTA -- The Braves' battered pitching staff got more bad
news Thursday when Lance Cormier was scratched from a scheduled
rehab appearance after experiencing pain in his ailing right arm.

Cormier has been on the disabled list since March 31 with a
strained triceps. He was scheduled to start for Triple-A Richmond
on Friday, but noticed some discomfort after his last throwing
session on Tuesday while traveling with the Braves.

He was returning to Atlanta to be examined by the team's lead
orthopedist, Dr. Xavier Duralde.

more on the Gary Thorn should stick to something he is good at thread, ie nothing...

Schilling sock is in the HoF. Easy to test. Here is a pic of his ankle. Clearly you want to put paint on that kind of wound for the extra media play...

Thanks Jay. That's great news.

No problem...that's one way to get some excitement on an off-day.

I'm still waiting for it to become official first, but damn that's great news!

Yeah, I saw it on ESPN. Buster Olney says the Braves signed Smoltz to a contract extension.

Thank you so much John Schuerholz. I promise not to say anything negative about you, no matter what happens. Even if Soriano goes on the DL and Horacio Ramirez wins the Cy Young I'll stay silent.

if that link doesn't work for whatever reason it's on ESPN's homepage.

From DOB himself,

Ya’ll didn’t really believe Smoltz would leave, did you? Never even a sliver of doubt in my mind. Andruw, that’s a different matter altogether. But I never believed any of the B.S. rumors about “friends” who said he was disenchanted with the Braves and tired of their low-ball offers and blah blah blah.

He’ll retire a Brave. Just like Chipper will.
