Delving Into the Rich History of Atlanta

The next time you want to get out and do something with your loved one, consider exploring some of Atlanta’s illustrious history. There are many great sites to see, no matter what your preference of historical events. For a look at some of the history of Atlanta’s former residents, visit the oldest cemetery in the city, OaklandCemetery. Those interested in the history of the Civil Rights Movement should not miss the chance to check out the Civil Rights Walk of Fame and the Martin Luther King, Jr.

Mojo Sez

Doc, In view of the record, and other obvious signs, a pronouncement of the season is necessary.  

 

Here’s the form.  Choose only one box then sign.

Its:

□ Dead.

□ Mostly dead.

□ Almost dead.

□ Not dead.

□ ALLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!!!

Tritely, 

Dr. Detecto                                     

 

No, Let's Win 8 of 10 and Then Shut Down the Power Grid

Mojo's implication is clear enough, that as of 6 May 2014 our pulse is as strong as a jackhammer.  It ain't like you score 3 TD's on 3 straight drives and then walk off the field in resignation.

M's 4 …..

The Orcs mighta been lucky to lose by only two runs.  We out-hit them 9 to 4, or something, and in one of those innings had runners killed at 3B and HP.  The game kinda reminded me that first Angels series, to tell you the truth.

Stefen Romero

Rick sez,

Cherry picking season! Look at Stefen Romero's last 8 games: .290/.313./.452 for a .764 OPS. 

No cherry pickin' about it, homie.  You're just right.  No need to hedge.  Stefen has wayyyyyy shrilled down, not that he was a spooked fawn before.  Whoop, that metaphor won't fly.   Stefen looks a little more like "The Shot-Caller On Cellblock D" than a gentle forest creature.

As well, since "Section Z" canceled Almonte like a postage stamp, Romero is apparently the #2 outfielder in the mix (behind Michael Saunders).  So apparently he'll get his chance to continue the roll.

If you can't remember what Dr. D originally said about Romero, here is Part 1 of the summer 2012 scouting report.  Part 1 has handy-dandy clickthru buttons so that you can wallow in all 8 chapters, which includes a fervent thanksgiving to St. Grifol.

The gliding problem is a distant memory ... a college hoops coach once told Dr. D, that if you fix your shooting motion correctly, you won't be able to remember the way you shot previously.  This seems to be the case with Mr. Romero.  All that remains are the Franklin-like "stretch" and the Edgar-like wrists.  Okay, the Jose Lopez-like wrists.

Could be pretty fun to watch him.  Starting now.  Okay, starting last week.

.........

This is about 10 degrees off line, but ... when was the last time the Mariners had a position player contend for ROY?  Of course Ichiro doesn't count.

2014 Draft Preview, part deux

The hitters are a weird group, and I don't like the college bats for our selection AT ALL.  The arms, OTOH, are good from both the prep and college ranks - and nobody knows how they slot out.  They're all of a piece, and many of them have TOR potential. That's good for us, and more likely a selection to boot. They are laid out in order of my current preference (as the previous hitters were).

Failures of the Zduriencik Era

In the old Samurai Bushido code, you would die with dishonor for catastrophic failure and betrayal of the code.  You would be allowed an honorable suicide if the failure was yours but you upheld the code while doing so.  Is Jack Zduriencik coming due for an Old Yeller moment? The shout box is venting a bit about this roster today, so why not go into some of the washouts of the last half-decade?  This is what Zduriencik’s watch looks like so far.
