Approaching 20,000 posts

I'm hoping to cross over into the posting stratosphere this week. So, if I post or respond with some lame comments, it's only because I'm trying to pad my post count. Please bear with me. But, if I dont make it to 20K Saturday, I would like to remind everyone ahead of time that texas sucks. And as my old high school buddy iasooner1 said, "Texas's suckage is legendary and eternal." That is all.

I'm on board with giving the manager's job to Snitker. He's done an outstanding job, especially since the All-Star break. The trade for Kemp was huge, Swanson has played very well and they won the five last series in a row and knocked a decent Detroit Tigers squad out of the Wild Card running in the AL. I say he deserves the chance.

Make sure and pass the 20k mark in the OU/TX game thread on Saturday while OU is giving them a royal ass kicking!!! No better way to pass 20k in my opinion.

My goal is to hit 20K this week and then enjoy the royal ass kicking in person! If I can find a ticket!

I agree. He deserves the chance to manage games that actually mean something because he's proven he can play the role of a spoiler pretty well.

Other than being mauled by the Nats, Atlanta carved out a winning record against everyone else in an admittedly weak division. Swanson, Inciarte, and Freeman are a solid nucleus around which the team can build. The "elephant in the room" is the starting pitching. We have a #1 (Teheran) who'd be a two or three on a contending staff and a couple of other guys who are wildly inconsistent in Folty and Wisler. Until the Braves fill some holes in the starting rotation, any chance of being a legit contender are still pretty far fetched IMO.
