Weather looking good. A few isolated/widely scatters showers and perhaps a thunderstorm around this afternoon and early evening for north central GA should wane in the early evening hours as the solar influence weakens.
Time to get the bats going again tonight...GO BRAVES!

Some more familiar names for today....
1981
After giving up a single to leadoff hitter Terry Harper, Pirates' hurler Jim Bibby retires the next 27 Braves en route to a 5-0 one-hitter. The right-hander threw a no-hitter as a rookie with the Rangers.
2004
Breaking his own record set two weeks ago, Julio Franco becomes the oldest player to hit a pinch-hit home run. The Braves' first baseman is 45 years, 269 days old when he accomplishes the feat.
And some other items of interest for 5/19.....
1915
Pirates player-manager Fred Clarke files for the patent for flip down sunglasses that have been designed to be used in the outfield. In addition to the sunglasses, which the future Hall of Famer believes are "good for motorist, too", also creates and will be issued patents for a sliding pad and a mechanical method of positioning the tarpaulin.
1933
For the first time in major league history, brothers on opposite teams homer in the same game. Red Sox catcher Rick Ferrell takes his brother Wes deep, but the Indians' righty returns the favor as he homers in the third on a pitch called by his sibling.
1979
After a bitter six-week strike, the major league umpires return to work. During the work stoppage, the men in blue were replaced by amateur arbiters. ...Judging by some of the recent calls, I'm thinking some of those amateurs seem to be still around...

Always thought he'd make a good MLB manager. |

Franco was one of those dudes who could roll out of bed in the morning, grab a bat, and get a hit. Great hitter.

I'd rather have Franco playing 3rd base for us RIGHT NOW over Bustista.

David O'Brien Retweeted Neal Floyd
I've seen/heard nothing to suggest he's harmed team chemistry, I just think he's harmed the offense because he's not a good hitter anymore and has struck out or otherwise made weak outs in several key situations already.David O'Brien added,

@nfloyd52
Replying to @dobrienajc
I think Bautista screwed the chemistry on this team.

Apparently we have to wait for some of the younguns to run out of options before we can dump Joe.

May god and little tiny baby Jesus be with us and let Johan have a good game so this continues as long as possible against righties. |
