Matt Diaz: PCL sends him to the DL

Braves.com: Diaz to DL with ligament strain

AJC: Collision with wall lands Diaz on DL



This is killing me. Why are all my favorite boys getting seriously injured? Am I jinxing them, somehow?

Let's try some reverse psychology here. These are the guys I'm officially "not" rooting for. I "don't" care about them at all. They can spend "all the time on the DL they want": Baby, Blaine, Gregor, Huddy, Jeff B., Jair, Ring, Thor (in AAA, but still), Teix, Glav, and Yunie. And of course, the rest of the 25.

Sigh.

I Hate the 2008 Page-A-Day Calendar

Seriously, y'all. This sucker is awful. It's full of trivia questions any Braves fan would know (I'd almost call it pandering), and the pages seem to be lumped together by topic. But today is the first day I felt the need to share its stupidity with you.

Full page shot:




"FACT"



You've GOT to be kidding me. There are so many interesting things going on in the lives of current and former Braves, and they give us this "FACT"? Ugh. Next thing you know, Calendar is going to tell me Turner Field was named after former Braves owner Ted Turner. Shocker!

The Internet Isn't Free

Google alerts informed me a couple of days ago that there is a new Pete Moylan video on YouTube. Excited, I went to watch it.

And I'm really a bit grumpy.

The creator of this "video" (it's really just a slideshow) took 26 pictures that I uploaded to Photobucket, most of which I took with my own camera, added a bunch from the AP and the Bob Wickman archives...then gave credit to "photobucket" at the end. In addition, one of those pictures, as far as I know, is not on Photobucket. It was uploaded directly here.

This is ridiculous.

I don't mind sharing. If I didn't want to share my pictures, I wouldn't put them in a public forum. But when I borrow from friends with awesome pictures, I do my best to give them a tip of the hat, or give a link to their website as a thank you.

So one way or another, "xoPleaseBeMineox", give credit where credit is due.

Baby is not amused.


(Thanks for the pic, Jenny!) (See how easy that is?)

Received this message on YouTube:

im sorry.
ill delete the vid. i didnt meant too. i was in a hurray to finish

I replied: "You don't need to take it down. You should just give equal credit to all your contributors if you're not going to use original work." Then added a smiley, because I have a feeling the author didn't do it intentionally. *shrug*
