Say hello to the new Javy!

Okay, as far as I'm concerned, there will only be one Javy, ever. However... our new starting pitcher, Javier Vazquez, is from the same hometown as Original Javy! I hope that part of Puerto Rico realizes how blessed they are to have produced two Javy Braves. ;) This new one isn't quite as squeal-inducing as Original Javy, but he's still pretty cute!



Welcome aboard, new pitcher! Here is the...

(If any of you have an idea for a nickname for this guy, I'm accepting submissions. I don't want to call him New Javy.)

I don't know- I kinda like "New Javy" :)

You know, the more I think about it, the more I do too. And it's clear Bobby's going to call him Javy, so I can't call him Javier. Hmmm... anyone else? New Javy? Pitcher Javy? Javy #2?

Glad to have him with us, but I can already tell that everybody else calling him Javy is going to drive me crazy. ;)


Weird coincidence...the word verification word that I got is "chippers" LOL

All I could come up with is JV and Vazquie, but neither of those sound too great, lol.

I'll go with Crista. J2 works for me, I already thought of him as "Javy v.2".

Oh, honey. I think you guys got ripped off. :( I hope it doesn't turn out that way, but I think a lot of Sux fans were volunteering to drive him to the ATL themselves, just to get him outta town.

Maybe he'll do better pitching for a manager that isn't an asshat.

Did I just type that out loud? :D
