  1. defense needs to be better but Venters could be a starter or closer next year was a starter in the minors .

  13. Jurrjens back in form , Heyward back , McClouth back , McCann starting to hit!
  14. 3 year 19 million offered by Bulls equaled by Magic .

  16. Not only the age but this is the only year where Gonzalez stats have compared to the last 2 years for Escobar , and I believe Toronto home stadium is more of a launching pad .
  17. They have had some very close games to get to the championship and lost the last 2 years to Broad Run so I am not sure about domination but getting to the championship game 4 years in a row is definitely impressive . In 04 and 05 they lost to Salem and in 06 , they beat Salem 25-21 in the last minute to advance . In 07 again beating Salem in a close game to advance . In 08 they beat Pulaski 13-7 on the last drive to advance before losing to Broad Run and last year they beat Christiansburg 21-16 , the River Ridge 4th place team to advance to lose to Broad Run . Some of their fans are saying their JV teams have not been as impressive the last few years .
  18. anything about it or the Cole kid . I doubt he is with Salem . We do have several different receivers , including one who is quite tall , but I do not have any details at this time.
  19. sounds like a Republican National committee meeting .
  20. than that! I am sure if a person worked on here he would want a better wage the longer he was there. Part of the problem with loss of jobs has been greediness of unions but the corporations have just as much been at fault . One reason American companies have failed has been the concentration on profits by quarter rather than long term . If the unions had solely been at fault then textiles and furniture makers would still be abundant . The fact is the companies and the unions have wanted more for doing less . We always heard that the American worker was lazy and yet Japanese companies have built many car companies that pay good wages that have produced thousands of jobs in this country . The North American free trade agreement is also not the reason for so many manufacturing jobs loss . This treaty has nothing to do with China . Germany is high union and high industrial but one of the biggest manufacturers in the world . Come on people think! http://www.ringelkater.de/Sounds/2geraeusche_virtuell/beavis_butthead_laugh.wav
  21. The only improvement I would like to see is a little more power which could be produced by Escobar , who had 14 dingers last year , and 0 this year , McCann having a super second half , and Heyward coming back . The reserves have played great . Prado 10-39-325 Who said he could not hit Heyward 11-45-251 tailed off at the end possibly due to sore thumb Jones 6-33-252 best on-base percentage on team . 50 walks Glaus 14-58-254 Hinske 6-34-274 only 175 at bats plays 1st , 3rd , and LF Cabrera 3-24-259 starting to warm up is a warm weather hitter 13-68-274 last year for yanks Escobar 0-19-238 We need him to hit 14-76-299 last year McCann 10-37-267 will do better second half Infante- 2-24-332 What an asset plays everywhere to spell a player Diaz is back and he can hit Conrad and Ross have been great in reserve . Pitching Hudson 9-4 2.30 great pitcher Lowe 9-8 4.35 throws strikes always gives you 6-8 innings experience Hanson 8-5 4.13 still learning his craft Medlen 6-1 3.16 darn good Jurrjens 1-3 5.40 last 2 starts since coming back from injury have been great last year 14-10 2.60 era on a non-hitting team . I think we have 5 starters who can keep us in games and our relievers are the best I have seen. Wagner and Venters and Saito have been great in bullpen along with Moylen . The Braves have experience and youth and some proven players off other teams that have won , for example Cabrera , Hinske . Wagner , Saito
