The Braves are killing me this year, absolutely killing me. No cleanup hitter, and no bullpen. But, somehow, all hope is not lost. Brian McCann is due back at the end of this week, and hopefully his eye problem will be a thing of the past and he can help out the lineup. On the pitching side of things, we are still without Tim Hudson and Tom Glavine, and when Hudson returns -- and if Glavine does -- we can move a couple of back end starters to the pen for help. And better yet, Tommy Hanson is due up sometime this year, and hopefully he can contribute the same way as David Price did for the Rays last season.
Two CD releases to get excited about: This Saturday Blaine Duncan & The Lookers will hold their CD release party at Little Willie's in Tuscaloosa for their self-titled debut. Next Tuesday, May 12th, The Dexateens unleash the highly anticipated Singlewide upon the world. I strongly recommend both to fans of Southern-twinged rock n roll. Videos for your viewing/listening pleasure:
Good piece on Alabama QB Greg McElroy over at ESPN.com by Mark Schlabach. I'm fairly confident in the kid, he doesn't have to do much, after all. The defense is going to be sick nasty this fall, and he's surrounded by enough weapons on offense that he can step in and play the same game-manager role as John Parker Wilson did last season.
