First of all, I'd like to leave a few pieces of my lemon chicken as a sacrifice to the great Jobu and a Nature Valley Oats 'N Honey granola bar as an offering to the baseball gods for what I'm about to do.

I'm going to do a tad bit of looking past our current opponents, the Pittsburgh Pirates, and talk about a big time series at Turner Field against the NL East leading Philadelphia Phillies.

It's not that I do not respect the Pirates (very few people do, anyway) as...

As it's the official opening day for major league baseball, I decided to do just a few more projections for a few more players that there seems to be a lot of varying opinions of.

Kicking things off, we'll go with two offensive players that will likely play vital roles to the offense in 2010. What's interesting, is neither of these names were in the opening day starting lineup from 2009.

So as I type this, we are just days away from yet another Christmas and under two weeks away from ushering in a new decade. The clock does indeed continue to tick.

However, as the days roll by I can't help but have an overwhelming feeling of impending doom. No, I'm not a believer in the whole 2012 theory...but I do feel the Braves are slowly strolling into a bad situation.
