I think home a week, gone a week is a good breakup of the schedule. What's going to stink is we're only home for five days. You kind of wear it when the schedule isn't in your favor.

Loving a man shouldn't have to be this rough

The Atlanta Braves are really all that our children know about this crazy baseball life, and we are so thankful for this upbringing for them.

You feel like a stud out there when people swing and miss. As I've gotten older, I've preached to our young guys that strikeouts are sexy, but outs are outs, man, no matter how you get them. It's a lot cooler for me pitching in the seventh or eighth inning than it is going 5 1/3. Your manager likes it a lot more, too.

Obviously coming out in the fifth inning is not what you want. I threw the ball alright. i got some pitches up in the zone and they took advantage of it.

I always wondered how it would be to put on a Braves uniform and play in Atlanta.
