I have been busy lately. Very, very busy. Too busy even to think about this blog, and really too busy to pay much attention to the train wreck that is the Braves this 2006 season -- although I always have them on in the background to provide some farcical diversion to the rigors of writing for hire.
It's pretty obvious by now that they are done -- 13 1/2 games out in mid-June is simply not survivable, I don't care who you are. My lingering concern is that Cox and Schuerholz will not be able to accept that this is a rebuilding year, and thus will trade away a bunch of young talent that would perhaps help them start another streak of division titles (and would come back to bite them in the ass if dealt off somewhere else) for some expensive, overrrated malcontent who doesn't want to be there and will not be around next year. Todd Hollandsworth, anyone? Rey Sanchez? Caminiti?
