Mission: Impossible?

“We need to go to New York and get things turned around,” Jeff Francoeur said after the Braves were unceremoniously swept in a quick two-game wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am Philly stopover.

True, Frenchy. Going to Shea and, you know, WINNING makes for a great plan. Always does, always has. But getting things turned around - see, there’s the rub.

It’s such a blanket statement - “getting things turned around” - isn’t it? Thank God I’m not in charge of Getting Things Turned Around for the Braves right now because, truth be told, I wouldn’t know where to start.

Defense has improved, I’d say. So that leaves… everything else.

Starters: After Huddy and Smoltzie, it’s a crapshoot. Bullpen: Reitsma impresses… when he even GETS a save opp. Offense: Hello? Hello? Is this thing on?

Apparently, the Tomahawks need a CEO of Getting Things Turned Around. Quick. Any applicants? Post your resumes here.
