I am enjoying watching this team play right now. If they can iron out a few things I believe they could have some potential.

Thanks Bornto, your pics and coverage are great.
Big Lefty Newcomb shut the Pods down and out yesterday, he is our future. Read where he is better than any Braves rookie lefty first 4 starts.
