Yes. How many Jerseys with his number do you see? He's also a huge pull for us in the islands. Kids will WANT to talk to us first. Not after Andruw walks. All that goes away.

Tell me if he was worth it when Bobby is gone in 4 years and attendance is 80's like. Andruw is a reason to go to the ballpark. I was all for trading him a few years ago, but he has carried us for 2 years. If we had any pitching at all, we would have made the wild-card.

Great block by Chill!

That was the kind of play we have never seen from Woody. If we lose, that was the difference. 98-96 Hawks.

98-93 Hawks!

Just blew it. 82 all.

Typically, the Hawks are blowing a lead. 82-79 now.

Andruw has hit in the middle of the lineup for a decade now. I'm not a huge sentimentality guy, but once you lose too many of these guys and you're not wining, you're not the Braves anymore. See-Atlanta Hawks

Who you gonna plug in the 4 hole Billy Beane boy?

By the way, Andruw is one of the only Braves to hit in the postseason recently. To rip Andruw and just brush off "the best defensive outfielder in history" because he strikes out(who doesn't these days?)is being a little dumb to the argument.

To be a man. Not a hack. That's what for.

You are wrong. He is the best defensive center fielder ever. His offense has improved dramatically over the last two years. He is also in the lineup EVERY day. He anchors our lineup. Schuerholtz needs to win the title without Andruw or I want him to retire. We have gotten worse for about 7 years. Andruw signed, I think, a six year-90 million dollar deal. That's a bargain. Look at Vernon Wells or Beltran. We will lose Andruw and spend the money on something Tim Hudsonish.

How many effing times do you have to be told? What great inside scoops has Sekou given us? He doesn't work for the Hawks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He works for the AJC. They want to sell papers. You could write the type of stories Sekou does from a laptop in Antartica.

I think it would work. I have loved watching WV play the last few years. Thanks for posting this.

He doesn't work for the Hawks. I know the game. I'm just saying he's not very good at it. Kind of like the Hawks.

Funny that you single out Smith, why don't you watch Marvin on the wing, or ANY of our players however, they all stand on the wing and don't move. That is on Woody, and says to me that he has no offensive gameplan, which we already knew.

I don't like Paronto, Yates, or McBride. We don't have Leo anymore. These guys throw it anywhere they want. Often times it is up in the zone and gets crushed.

I am a little happier than last year. Still, I think McDowell iz lazy. The exact opposite of Leo, and it shows.

The MAIN problem is Woody and his looney sub patterns, his inability to stop runs with timeouts, no plays, letting Smoove crush us early standing on the wing, etc. Basic stuff. We don't need to rehash. I think everyone should go. The assistants are about the last people on my list.

This is what I wrote earlier.

In actuality, if he were to write more scathing articles, he would probably rise a little. Like Terrence Moore. He gets on national tv quite a bit. Unless it's the Braves, I want total honesty.

If you have hope for this year you believe in Santa Clause. It's not possible. This is the real world. These are the facts. They are irrefutable.

We needed a better start, a better coach, a better gm, smarter owners, etc.

BTW, we'll never know what a whole Hawks team can do with Woody as coach. DUH

No offense but.....what?

He is respected by people that can read. Why would anyone want to be close to BK, Woody, or any other part of this mess. If you stay away that can't have you as another excuse. Bradley and Schultz are white. So what? They also tell the truth. Sekou is so happy to have a job working an "NBA" beat, it's not funny. He should be faaaaaaaar more critical if he knows anything about basketball, or winning for that matter.

Very true. Facts are facts. That's why I am so unhappy with the pathetic start.

I don't think you came off right. I know you don't support this. Some of us are just a little more cut and dry. Respect goes out the window after this many years.

Doesn't it speak to his lack of a positive impact that Schultz would not know or didn't care that he used to be GM, pres., etc.?

I don't want to tank. Oden is not coming out, and I have zero faith in current ownership. We will not be fixed until there is clear new ownership or we have a new franchise four our CITY. I want to win every game. It's a shame Mr. Gearon Sr. thinks Woody knows how to.

You know nothing about journalism. Why was it unethical?

So? The last 8 years cancel out everything. I mean everything. We did not deserve this. If they did not have a better plan, they should have stayed out.

Also, if Matt Millen is allowed to stay 30 years and "devote" himself to the Lions, will the fans be disrespectful by loathing him?
