He's Everywhere, He's Everywhere
Dec 5, 2008
HO, HO, HO...I hope everybody’s got their wishlists filled out for Santa, it won’t be long now. The old man’s getting suited up and double checking his naughty and nice list before he hits the sled. I’m sure most of you have put a new economy on your list, probably somewhere between a Giddy Up N Go Pony and a Wii Fit. So I thought it might be fun to think about what ...

The First Blog of Spring/Ever
Apr 3, 2008
This seems like a good time of year for firsts, it's spring after all. The boys of summer are back at Turner Field, all the number 1's made it to the Final Four, and I'm posting my first blog. Now I've boldly added comments to Dave O'Brien's Braves beat blog (not really boldly, they were weak posts laced with fear of critique from the blog regulars) all of three times...
