Yes, he's still suspended. But I found this quote mildly interesting.
*on his HGH use*
"It's not what it seems," he said. "It's different, but I really can't comment. I have to just let people think (what they will) and move on, and people will see by the way I play when I come back it was nothing like that. I'm the same player I've always

Hudson takes the mound against his former team for the first time with a 6-2 record and an ERA of 2.54. You think the A's would like to have him back? With the exception of 2006, this guy has been money since he came here.
Lets get another win vs the AL tonight, boys!!!

Simple enough, do you think Chipper Jones can end the season hitting .400 thus being the first player since Ted Williams to have a season of .400 ball? Personally I doubt he will be hitting .400 by the all star break but I was curious as to what everyone else thinks...

I think once Smoltz comes back to the bullpen and

We have the worst road record in baseball but one of the best home records. Why can't we win on the road? I know that it is easier to win at home but 6-16 away from Atlanta and the fact that we can't beat the Nats anywhere has me concerned. There will be no way we can compete for a crown if we can't leave the friendly confines of home and still atleast play at .450 or .500 baseball.

C'mon Braves fans. Help me finish this comment in jest.

Ok, We're officially 1/4 of the way through the season - well at the middle of the 5th inning tonight I guess will be officially 1/4 but ...
So time for a bit of an evaluation I believe. First a quick positive / negative area, then some grades. I'll start with the negatives and get them out of the way.
Negatives for this season so far
