#16–Agreed. When I said patience was the key word–I meant in two ways–underscoring Bisher’s meaning–but also the fact that Bisher’s advocacy is trying our patience….

MLBTR relays an article stating that David Dellucci’s been released.

He’s been barely better than Anderson, in about half as many at-bats. I guess the question is, who’s more likely to get better? Realistically, who would we move out to make room? Anderson would be preferable but you could argue that he’d make Greg Norton redundant.

Also, Corky Miller has rejoined the ranks of the unemployed

I think the Braves have shown more damn patience than 98% percent of professional baseball organizations would have. In most cities, Francoeur would have been non-tendered and sent packing after last season.

Bisher just doesn’t have a clue, 90-years-old or not.

Tom — I’d be shocked if Bisher has any clue how to turn on a computer, much less access a website and make posts. Maybe he handwrites the posts and gives them to a junior staffer to post.

Ah, Furman Bisher. Nothing quite like allowing a senile old codger to share his thoughts with the world. That’s why you get such insightful articles as “Talent on Braves Farm Has Dried Up”.

We are hanging in there…somehow…most likely because the Phils and Mets neither one seem to want to run away with things. kc is right, this team is a solid .500 team right now, our home and road records are just about even (flip a road win to home and we are 12-12 for both.) Hell, our runs scored to runs allowed has been hovering just above or just below 0 for weeks now. We are even 5-5 in the last ten games. Solid .500 team.

Actually, considering our complete lack of a MLB outfield, we are doing pretty good to actually be at .500 – I guess we can thank Wren for at least restructuring the pitching staff. ::rolls eyes::

I've seen Perl scripts that produce more readable prose than Bisher these days. Like this one. And, yes, Bisher is decades older than Bobby. Bobby turned 69 a week ago. Furman turned 90 last fall.

Furman Bisher frequently posts here under the name of “Gadfly”.
