He is making $15 million in the last year of his eight-year contract.

He is now on the DL.

I was pleasantly surprised by Time-Warner to find the last couple of Braves home games on Fox Sports South HD. It must be a newly added channel because I can't find it on the 2008 Time-Warner channel list for Alamance-Guilford counties. I do miss hearing Chip Carey on TBS calling the Braves games, but the HD really looks good.

That is odd, because the Nationals are usually on MASN instead. My dad lives in Fayetteville and tells me the Braves FS games are blacked out in his area for some reason. Maybe you're experiencing the same thing.
Bravos rained out tonight. That is probably a good thing...a chance to give the bullpen some much needed rest.
Will Smoltz still face Santana on Sunday or will all the starts be pushed back one day?
"The future ain't what it used to be."
Games will be made up later in May as part of a split doubleheader.
Cox will NOT adjust his rotation, so Glavine (originally scheduled to pitch Saturday) will now pitch against Santana on Sunday.

Is it taunting if its the truth? Actually I am a Dodgers fan much more than a Sox fan as I only recently moved up to the Boston area and my Dodgers roots go back to early childhood(and yes I still hurt over 1991). And as I post, the Bravos are 1-3...perhaps I gave them too much at one week.
ahhh . . . 1991. Despite being at Duke during the 2001 Championship, that might be my all time favorite sports season. Yea, we lost in the WS (I still have not forgiven Kent Hrbek, and there is no athlete whose name causes me to get riled up more than his), but the night to night drama was more than a 9 year old kid could handle. I couldnt always stay up for the entire game, especially the west coast games, and I clearly remember that the first thing I asked my mom every morning when I woke up was whether the Braves won. Second thing I asked was whether the Dodgers lost!

Smoltz vs. Santana today!

boy - I really hope its not going to be like that with Soriano all season. He looked completely indifferent on the mound there. Thank goodness Tex bailed him out after coming up with the huge hr in the bottom of the 8th.

Braves take 2 over the Mutts, winning today when Santana started.
Tex hits a homer in the 8th.
Nice game. Hope Smoltz can last longer next time.
I wonder if Wilson was at the game?

I grew up in Mets/Yanks country (better known as northern New Jersey), so I can't help but root against the Jest, the Gints, the Crankees, and the Pond Scum (whoops ... that's the St. Louis term for the Mets).
Egads! It just dawned on me that my move to Kentucky takes me out of MLB territory. I guess the Reds would be the closest town.
CANNOT root for the Reds.
Here's to a nice long season!

Braves lose by one run again by giving up a two run homer in the bottom of the eighth at Colorado. Second start in a row the Glavine has pitched great only to see the pen blow it for him. The bullpen needs to get their act together quickly or we are going to be in a big hole.
"The future ain't what it used to be."
Umm, the Braves lost by one run again tonight.
At some point this is going to really start to bother me.
