Let's figure out some other way that I can contribute.

Uh, I guess the dude destroyed his marriage by knocking up a Hooters waitress. It's nonsensical to even talk about self-awareness for a guy like that.

Was this hooters waitress your girlfriend or something? What about the clutch RBI that Chipper has had that has lead to wins in this young season already? Also, so you would rather have a player put himself in the lineup when he knows he will not be able to produce? Out of curiosity what is your list of players that you think the braves would have been able to buy if Chipper had retired before this season?

This is so true on all levels.

Today would be perfect if the Braves, Griz and Preds pull the trifecta. Knocks on wood.

Right hand pitcher on the bump, Frediot brings in washed up righty Jack Wilson to face him. Good morning, good afternoon, goodnight. Seriously Frediot?

One out. Nobody on base. Coming in for defense regardless. I don't have a problem with the move under those conditions.

I'll remember Chipper as a great third basemen who helped lead Atlanta to one of the greatest runs of all time. You can choose to remember him as a baby and constantly ***** how he's not in the lineup even though he's 40 years old and has had about 7 major leg surgeries instead of appreciating the last days of one of the greatest hitters of our generation.

Actually that has been happening for the past several seasons, just not when he's 40.

Make that move after pinch hitting Juan or Hinske.. Play to win first. Worry about the bench later. Basically gave them an out. Least there is a decent chance that Juan or Hinske runs into one

Nobody on base. Had the lead. Go for defense, save the boppers for later. May need a homer or extra-base hit later in the game.
