Section 435 An Atlanta Braves blog. From the upper deck at Turner Field.

Murphy was an Optimist

Well, after the events of this week (Glavine rejoining the DL Army, Jurrjens stubbing his toe, Soriano declining the opportunity to be a professional baseball player, signing the mediocre Brian Lawrence and Jorge Julio, the offense stranding more men than the Titanic, the bullpen collapsing 4 out of the last 6 games), my most recent Trade Winds post is already hopelessly out of date and the two of three remaining which are half-written as drafts both need to be seriously reevaluated.

Here’s some things going around in the rest of the Braves and baseball blog-o-verse:

• Talking Chop is ready to sell.
• Chop-N-Change prophesied the whole damn mess in March. You know, sort of.
• Apparently our dismal road record can be attributed to our lack of amphetamines. (via Kottke)
• Maybe our luck will be changed by a giant, tomahawk chopping cow.
• Finally, at least we’re not the Mets. Their fans are so distraught at this point that they’ve gone incoherent.
