Hopefully the new manager will keep things going. It would be great if Chipper could have one more big year. I'll take a healthy year from him, and let the chips fall where they may. Gonna take a great year from the starting rotation I suspect. I wish they could find a lefty to round out the rotation.

Man...I don't know about MVP, but if he can avoid those prolonged slumps....then it'll be amazing.

# Uggla has to pass a physical, Braves won't comment until then. Press conference likely Thursday in Atlanta. #Braves half a minute ago via TweetDeck

# Uggla's five-year, $62 mill extension runs from 2011 to 2015, gives him highest avg annual salary for a 2B. #Braves less than a minute ago via TweetDeck

# Uggla's salary is a little lower in first year, believed to be less than $10 mill, then pretty even the rest of the way. No option. #Braves 7 minutes ago via TweetDeck

# Uggla just finalized deal with #Braves tonight, five years at $62 mill, just got done tonight 12 minutes ago via TweetDeck

Re: 2011 Atlanta Braves

I love locking him up. Now let's lock Heyward up to a Carlos Gonzalez, Ryan Braun-type deal.

Ha..well you know, gotta show my love for the WCW/NWO days. I loved Bischoff on the mic.

Re: 2011 Atlanta Braves

I'm strongly considering going down to ATL on May 27-31ish for my Senior Trip with some associates.

I'm pumped, because believe it or not, that will be my 1st time at Turner. Both times i've been to the ATL during baseball season, I've never had a chance to go.

Get a seat near the 1B/3B bag. Awesome vantage point when I went.

Spoiler

I was in smelling distance of Chipper.

Well, it's not set in stone and we're probably going to drop money for the entire series rather than good seats for 1 game
