Chipper knows the perfect gift for Valentine’s Day

Yeah, that's the subject line of an email I got last week from the Braves. Isn't that crazy?


Not a single thing in the email about Chipper's VD, but they got my attention!


Here are a few other things that have been sitting in the inbox... (again, my apologies for being away so much lately)

Francoeur looking to bury demons of 2008 with bounce-back season

Braves general manager Frank Wren called it the toughest decision he'd made in 23 years in the majors and manager Bobby Cox said, "He could be any one of our sons. We love him that much."

Hudson has proper attitude in rehab

Until he is cleared to begin making rehab starts, Hudson plans to be with his teammates on a regular everyday basis. In the process, he hopes to display some of the veteran leadership skills that he admittedly was hesitant to display while John Smoltz stood as the club's longest-tenured player.

During the early days of Spring Training, Hudson, Chipper Jones, who now stands as the club's longest-tenured player, and Brian McCann plan to let some of the younger players know that some of the lackadaisical attitudes that have been displayed over the past few years won't be tolerated.

Here's info on Charlie and Gonzo's caravan stop, Huddy's caravan stop, and the worst article ever on Baby's caravan stop (no pic here). This site has video, though, and Blaine!

Apparently, Baby's number was retired in Rome. Nice. :)

Tommy Glavine eats oatmeal.

This guy played the piano for the Diamond Gala!

Finally, I'm friends on a social networking site with my hairstylist, who saw some pictures I posted of the last tour I took of Turner Field. His response? "I laughed when i saw this. [Player']s my client." That is so freakin' cool, that the guy who does my hair does this guy's hair, and his wife's hair! He brought it up again when I got a haircut a couple of weeks ago, and joked that I should stop by when Player is there. I'm not that stalkerish, now! :)
