Your post is the first I’m hearing about it. Funny how I get my local news from someone almost 1000 miles away.

Gee, it seems like people should be out helping in the recovery clean-up areas instead of being in bars at 3 am getting into fights. Alcohol & guns don't mix for a good time. Stay home, idiots.

Alex Anthopoulos is starting a trend that I believe you will see the rest of the sport take advantage of. Sign these young pups to long extensions before they reach their prime and that way you don’t have to pay them the big bucks. Even if all of them don’t produce at an all-star level throughout the entirety of their contract it is still a win for the organization because they aren’t as handicapped by a big free agent contract (ie Ozuna, BJ Upton). They are extremely team-friendly contracts and this would be the exact strategy I would implement if I were in charge. He is doing something that I don’t recall any other GM doing.

You have to draft and develop the talent as well, which Atlanta has done a phenomenal job of lately. If you can do that, you can bring in pieces like Matt Olson and don’t have to chase big name contracts like Soto or Ohtani(although I would love to see Shohei in Atlanta!)
Also, I think the whole Freeman situation taught him a valuable lesson about negotiating contracts.

Sorry, too late for that. Google Maps is pretty reliable by millions.

Now, GPS is a different animal altogether. Read where it lead a man to drive off a cliff to his death a week or so ago.

Thanks AllVol 😊
You know what they say, every now and then a blind squirrel finds a nut? Well that’s not me b*tches, I knew we were gonna blow LSU out.

Drops the mic and walks away.


Turns around and comes back.


And one more thing. You guys better be scared next year in the @OldTimer contest. I haven’t forgotten any of your comments about coming in last place.

Gives a hug to @cardvolfan & @cobbwebb0710 for be kind to card and Cobb day for their baseball teams losses.

Now really leaves.

By the way, I’ve never had my own special day before. A first for me. Maybe losing is a good thing. 😂😂😂
