cringing time

Heard it on the radio: Former Mississippi Brave Jeff Francoeur was hitting .301 with seven home runs and 31 RBIs in 47 games with the New York Mets. He went 1-for-4 with an RBI today as the Mets knocked off the Colorado Rockies. Braves fans must cringe when reminded what Francoeur has done since Atlanta dealt him away. Wonder if Braves management is having any trader’s remorse? Ryan Church has done almost nothing for Atlanta. Not only is Francoeur hitting for the Mets, he was recently tabbed in Baseball America as having the best outfield arm in the National League. Wouldn’t it be nice to still have him around for the wild card chase …?
P.S. Hattiesburg native Joey Gathright is back in The Show. Boston brought him up on Wednesday, though he didn’t get in the game that night. He might win a game or two with his speed, which is something to behold.
