December 22, 2011
Tyler Pastornicky was born 12/13/1989, which is crazy young, good lord.

He made his way down to Georgia as part of the semi-big trade that exiled Yunel Escobar and his “’tude” to Canada, which isn’t a portion of the United States of America.

What do you think of when someone says the word "brave"? That may seem like a silly question, but for the Atlanta Braves, it's one that might be worth going to court over. The Braves are reportedly engaged in a trademark dispute with Pixar Animation Studios -- and therefore Pixar's parent company, Walt Disney -- over the name of their latest movie. Pixar's next...

There is guy posing as Chipper Jones on Twitter and it cracks me up. Spurred on by my wife’s addiction to Chipper, I collected my thoughts (and proof) as to why it’s not really Chipper tweeting. There are a few simple facts that alone should be enough for most to know it’s not really Chipper Jones tweeting.

But to these Braves players/coaches, September feels like years ago. Now it’s all about enjoying Christmas and looking...

The Atlanta Braves Wish You A Merry Christmas By Performing The Worst Rendition Of "Jingle Bells" Imaginable
Kris Medlen (the puffy-cheeked one with the bent brim) is the only one who gives it any effort, and he's followed by Chipper Jones's smug sunburnt visage. Ugh.
