Is the retaliation rule unfair?
Published 6/11/2007 by Chris Dall at The Bleacher Bums
... . ESPN's Jon Miller and Joe Morgan both thought the ejection was unwarranted. Braves fans, on other hand, weren't too bothered . From MLB's perspective the ejection served the greater purpose of averting an ugly brawl, which might have been the result under the "let the players police the game" policy that had been in place prior to 2001. As an objective fan (ok, not really. I can't stand the Braves), it seems the Cubs got hosed on this deal. One of their best hitters got knocked down, they lost their starting pitcher after two outs, and their second baseman nearly had his nose broken. The Braves, one could argue, instigated the whole thing (with Hudson's knockdown of Soriano) and got to retaliate too (with Renteria's slide into second), all without consequence. Does that seem fair? Post a comment The following HTML tags are allowed in your comments: + Bold: Text + Italic: Text + Link:

Face of the Franchise?

It looks like ESPN is up to it again, this time asking fans to vote for who they think is the Face of The Franchise when it comes to their favorite baseball team. Right now it s all about the Braves. You have a chance to vote on who you think is the face of the franchise for the Atlanta Braves. I ve already cast my vote, as I m in the same mode of thinking as Mac from BravesJournal.com - and that s Bobby Cox. Click ...

Five Questions About The Braves
Published 3/17/2008 by Knox at Sports Page Atlanta
Mac Thomason from Braves Journal recently published an article over at The Hardball Times answering 5 questions about the 2008 Atlanta Braves. It’s well worth a read. Did the Braves bring back Tom Glavine a year too late? Is Jeff Francoeur about to make the Leap? Is Yunel Escobar for real? What the heck is going on in left field? Can Mark Kotsay replace Andruw Jones?
