Review of “Bama Profiles in Courage: Laykin”: (Capers) Barr flexes through an emotional range that most writers would never dare attempt … Humor and Bama sorrow are fused together like twined tree trunks that keep each other standing…..It’s part satire, part character study, with a wry lens on fame, fandom, and the modern South. Well done, Capers, well done.”– Ian Allen, The Times Literary Supplement.

Chipper Jones is Ken Griffey compared to Mark Prior and Kerry Wood.

*sigh*: Chipper Jones and his maladies are resistant to the miracles of modern medicine. He continues to bruise like a grape. I had tried staring at his ankles during his last game to test my hypothesis that he would hurt himself, then go on the DL. The hand-hurts thing must have had a stronger mojo than my mind meld.

Here is what Chipper has done thus far:

League Leaders 2007
• Ranks 4th in NL in HR (12)
• Ranks 11th in NL in OBP (.392)
• Ranks 2nd in NL in SLG (.625)
• Ranks 2nd in NL in OPS (1.017)

Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones is going on the 15-day disabled list with a bruised right hand. Manager Bobby Cox said the team will place Jones on the disabled list on Saturday. He has been experiencing pain in both hands since a baserunning collision on May 11 and had missed seven straight games before the Braves opened a weekend series against the Chicago Cubs on Friday. Jones received a cortisone shot following the game on May 23 but noticed no improvement. [ESPN]

    Chipper is putting on a clinic showing players how to go through the motions after losing their desire to play the game. I can’t wait until he is gone from the Braves. Goodbye Larry, you don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.
