Brooks Conrad, MLB Free Agency and some Ryder Cup Trash Talking

Brooks Conrad is the man. There is no other way of saying it. That guy has single handedly saved 4-5 gamesw for us this season. I know that back tat hit the go ahead 2 run Jack and Coke, but it was Conrads triple that put some life back into the Braves. I had just gotten off the phone with my father in law, furious over Snitker sending THE SLOWEST PLAYER IN BASEBALL home from first on a double! Are you smoking crack Snitker? Not only was he out but it wasnt even close. McCann looked like he needed a IV. Anyway, up comes Conrad with me yapping about how we wont do ish this inning. Smack! Conrad drills a ball to the right center field gap (IMO should have been caught) that plates Melky. Back tat goes deep and the Braves lead. In comes Moylan: Australian for Sucks who gives up a dinger. All in all a good win. We have a 1.5 game lead for the WC but if im answering honestly I dont like our chances to get out of the Division Series if we do make the playoffs. We are sputtering offensively at the absolute worst time. Prado is down and out with a hip pointer. We shall see.

This offseason is a big one for the Atlanta Braves. We have some money coming off of the books and there is really only 1 move that needs to be made IMO. This 1 player will add the thing that his team has lacked for the last 3 years, a power hitting OF. We need to sign Adam Dunn. It has to happen. Dunn is only 31 and has averaged around 35 HR's a season to go along with a .380 OBP. Im thinking we can get him for 3 years 26-30 million. We have wagner coming off the books at 7 million per. This would add someone in the lineup that teams would fear. We dont have a single person in the lineup that comes up and people are afraid that he might go deep. McCann will catch one every once in a while when it looks like a 5 buck box it rocks it rocks from Taco Bell. Screw filling 1B and let Freeman start there from the get go. Hes supposed to be so good, lets see what he can do. Excercise your options on Infante and Gonzalez. I would like to get someone with some speed like a Scott Podsednick or something but not top priority. Top priority has to be to get a guy in here with some POP.

Im going through some sports articles on YAHOO! when I come across this article: http://sports.yahoo.com/golf/pga/news?slug=ap-rydercup-mcilroyflap on Rory McIlroy calling out my boy Tiger Woods. What McIlroy said was not all that bad but he needs to realize that if El Tigre gets pumped up and starts playing like the old El Tigre, thats no bueno for Europe. What the hell is he thinking? Doesnt he know that Tiger Woods is the BRO king of BRO Kings? The last 4 guys or so who have called out Woods he has dismantled them in Match Play. Best of luck McIlroy, your gonna need it.
