The Braves don't have their pitching of the 90's

And Millwood throws a no-hitter yesterday.
Aarrgghh!

Millwood was my Blackjack dealer at a charity event we went to earlier this year (Chipper and Jeff Foxworthy had just vacated the table). Every time I asked for a card, I went bust. At the end, I said to him, "Kevin, you're a helluva pitcher, but you SUCK as a Blackjack dealer!" Good guy, he got a good laugh out of that.

I wish him good success post-Atlanta.

Have you noticed that the Braves have a bad habit of sending good players to Philadelphia and getting nothing in return? Kevin Millwood throws a no-hitter after his trade and Steve Bedrosian won a Cy Young after his. Heck, they even traded Dale "I'm the only reason anyone watched the Braves for ten years" Murphy to the Phillies.

Who did the Braves get in return for any of these trades? Ozzie Virgil?

I won't mention the whole Len Barker debacle.

Come to think of it, when was the last time Atlanta made a smart trade? Doyle Alexander for John Smoltz?

PS -- Dale Murphy belongs in the Hall of Fame for the same reasons that Pete Rose doesn't.
