Best Sunday Ever!

It doesn't matter if the Braves wear those goofy red jerseys today; no, it won't bother me a bit. GM Frank Wren some how pulled of another trade that should be leaving the other party and their fans scratching their heads. Just a little while ago, GMFW and the Braves acquired Michael Bourn -- one of the best lead-off hitters and THE BEST CF'er in baseball -- for 3 pitching prospects (none of them being Teheran, Minor, Vizcaino, or Delgado) and Jordan Schafer.

The Braves didn't have to give up any of their top young pitchers pitchers, which is exactly what they would have had to do to get Hunter Pence or Carlos Beltran. Victory. Schafer has had way to many opportunities to put it all together, but simply put: He can't hit.

Bourn is a good hitter and a true lead-off guy; something the Braves haven't had since Rafael Furcal. He is far and away the best CF'er they have had since Andruw Jones.

I just can't seem to wipe this smile off my face!

Bourn: "I"m fuckin' psyched to be a Brave, dog! Where the bitches with the titties?"
