The Braves need outfielders with pop. They have one of the weakest hitting outfields in all of baseball. There are some big names due for free agency, so I would save some cash for a run at Matt Holiday and Jeremy Hermida. I would try Francouer in centerfield but if he doesn’t work out try Anderson. I would have Anderson as my 4th outfielder anyway as a defensive sub. I think Francouer and Hermida will overcome their batting average problems … they are still young and just need to learn to relax at the plate and recognize pitches.

I would fire Terry Pendleton. No one has ever explained how a batter who did not have a great career batting average … and who changed his stance every week or so depending on the color of his underwear, can make a good batting coach! We can’t hit because Pendleton can’t coach.

After outfielders, I would look for a quality lefty veteran starter.

I would move Chipper to first base whether he likes it or not. Infante should be considered as a regular third baseman, but there are likely beefier bats available. We need someone that punishes left-handers.

The Braves are not THAT broken, they just play flat, with little or no enthusiasm for the sport.

During the rest of this season, I would have Glavine train to take Bobby’s place on the bench in the near future.

There is a distinct possibility that the Braves could go 2-5 this week. Lets hope FW has already done enough preliminary work where he can pull the trigger on several deals this week that will ensure that we are challengers in 2009. After the trades we should devote the remainder of the season to getting as much playing time as possible for our starters next year.

Just trade Chipper - if you get a can of tuna fish for him we’re better off. Every time I see Frenchy sitting next to Chipper in the dugout I cringe. And folks are asking what’s wrong with Frenchy…funny how Chipper’s about to go on the DL before the All Star game, only to realize that means he couldn’t play in the All Star game at Yankee stadium (for his dad), and then less than one week after the All Star game he misses a critical three game series with the Phillies and is “most likely” going on the DL this week…yep, this is Chipper’s team alright…to quote a line from Remember the Titans “…attitude reflects leadership”.

First off the comments made by Jeff about trading Chipper is a joke. What a stupid thing to say. Francoeur stinks. He is the most over hyped player that has come up in a long time. Chipper is all I have to look forward to when i watch the Braves. He was chasing 400 for two and a half months. The rest of the team sucks. Trade Tex and Ohman now. Trade Francoeur to a Mexican team. Maybe we can get another Campillo for him

SELL SELL SELL SELL- and send Franchouer to the minors until September to see if he can learn to hit again, and also to gain some humility.

As long as JS is team President, I respect the Brave’s judgment; I wondered why he signed McCann to a long-term deal and not Frenchy, but I guess he knew what he was doing.

With all of the injuries, we’d still be in the race if Francouer was hitting near his career averages. The Braves MUST be pro-active with him- and even if he stays in the bigs, he does NOT have enough tenure to have “earned” the right to keep starting despite his results.

Jeff: With all due respect, your comments are completely unfounded, outlandish, and well, disrespectful to the one offensive constant the Braves have had in recent memory. Sure, we’ve had sluggers come through ala Sheffield, Tex, etc., but no one- and I mean no one- has contributed as much to this organization from the offensive standpoint (yes, I would argue Smoltz has contributed more, but I’m addressing the offense) than Chipper Jones. No one.

Over the past 2 and 1/2 years, Chipper has pretty much been the best hitter in baseball (or at least in the top 3). That is nothing short of amazing, as he continues to get better with age. He is solidifying his already strong credentials for a run at the HOF (which I would say he already has the rate stats for, but it can’t help putting a few more years under his belt). Chipper is the ONE hitter I wish all of our other hitters WOULD emulate - case in point, McCann. McCann’s power/patience is ideal from a hitter, and I’m sure at least part of it is credit due to Chipper (and McCann has essentially said as much). I’m sorry but Jeff’s suckiness (and his production - or lack thereof- this year is very, very, very alarming) has nothing to do with Chipper. It has everything to do with a 24 year old who has gotten by his entire baseball life on tools and physical talent alone, without much in the way of a developed plate approach or advanced pitch recognition - and, as such, has had major difficulties (and not surprisingly) with adjusting to the adjustments made by MLB pitchers.

I’d like to see you playing and grinding it out every single day with a strained hamstring.

Unbelieveable.

And, for the record, I’ve been on the PLEASE SELL!!! bandwagon for several weeks now… Trade Tex, Trade Ohman (relievers fetch alot during the trade deadline- much more than they are otherwise usually worth), Trade Francoeur (for DeJesus, even), etc. Just hold on to our key assets going forward (i.e., McCann, Kelly Johnson, at least one of Lillibridge or Escobar, Chipper, Hudson, and the young kids).

Color me excited!

You realize CC at this point you are going to get a bag of balls for anyone who is a 2mos rental.

This delusional baloney of getting great prospects or even ML starters for FA rental is sad.

All the division leaders are basically set with their rosters and if anything they may look to pickup a starter or a closer if they can.

That means the only guys who will get you back the names this blog and you AJC writers have been spewing is Hudson, JJ, Gonzo, Ohman and maybe Soriano.

In terms of position players Escobar will get you more than Tex. McCann would have yielded a huge bounty.

Since McCann and Escobar are untouchable I don’t see them going anywhere, same with Chipper.

So are you proposing we trade Hudson b/c Tex is not going to get you anything more than draft pick level guys so why bother. So the team can lose 15 games in a row and empty out Turner Field?

Your team just scored 27 runs in three days against a team that has lead the division for months. The had a sweep in the bag if the pen was even remotely good and your manager was 10% better at pen management.

The reason you lost two of three is due to two players - Boyer and JOJO not the whole team.

Wren has said repeatedly there is not a magic number to sell from but rather how the team is performing and if he can add a piece9s) to fill in the holes.

Well he has a neon sign now in front of him - pitching.

Many of the more astute fans have said over and over the bats would come around however the pitching was built on a house of cards.

Hudson, four rookies and a should be DFA loser bin of a pen (apart from Gonzo & Ohman) was an accident waiting to happen.

Right on queue pitching apart from Hudson, JJ and Camp wet the bed.

Yet Wren was under the delusion that he just needed an OF.

He watched the Cubs pick up Harden for nothing and as far as we know did not make a run to get AJ Burnett, Fuentes or any other pitcher.

Imagine how this week would have went down if you had Harden, Fuentes pitching in games?

You would have won 2-3 against the Nats, FL and swept the Phillies.

Pitching killed this team more so than anything else this past week.

Given the Met’s and the Phillies are very flawed teams and two months of baseball left the team should be rewarded for its offensive push this week with getting AJ Burnett, Fuentes or Sherill and Bay.

Every team in this division is capable (and will) of losing 6-7 games in a row especially the Mets and Phillies.

Get some pitching and a bat and you are right back in it.

This is not a crazy hail mary idea it is plausible and the right thing to do b/c no team in baseball if going to throw the Braves a huge bone for anyone we are looking to trade.

Sorry Chickie but I respectfully disagree this time with you. To lose players the magitude of Tex and Ohman for youngsters would set this team back five years. The object is to win, baby. Fielding a AAA/AA team and charging major league prices for tickets and food is a death knell for attendance at games. It would be YEARS before we would climb to the elite again. JF and KJ have shown us that rushing players to the bigs is a recipe for mediocrity and Braves Nation will not go silently watching little league caliber play. We built around Chipper and now have the opportunity to build around a new corner stone with Tex. Spend the money, sign a second baseman, pick up a boomer outfielder, and let’s play ball.

I’ve got a feeling, and a bad one at that, that Franceour will become a pretty good ballplayer in the future. Just not with this team. So the Braves are in a no win situation with him. They can’t go into 2009 with him in LF, not with him hitting like this. But I don’t think he’ll figure it out in Atlanta so we won’t get anything of value for him.

Do you have a way of communicating this to Frank Wren and the rest of the Braves’ management? Last I heard the Braves were buyers? All we need is another trade deadline bandaid or two and viola we will be back in the playoffs (actually sink further into mediocrity or worse). Yes siree, let’s acquire a couple more players like Norton and Tavarez (are you %#* kidding me?) and we’ll be right back in the playoffs at least and most likely the World Series as well.

P.S. Hey Frank, are you going to offer Tex arbitration at the end of the year so that you at least get some compensatory draft picks or are you going to get absolutely diddly for him just like Andruw? You remember him, right? The fading talent who you don’t try to seriously trade despite knowing (a) he is going to become a free agent; (b) is not going to re-sign with you because of your operating budget and the fact that he is a Boras client; (c) will become a 10 and 5 guy 2 weeks after the trade deadline and will veto any trade during the next and his last season with the team; and (d) you will not offer arbitration because you are afraid he will accept and blow your budget like Maddux did a few years back.

This isn’t fatansy baseball people…some of the trades you have proposed are home town trades.

Like the other teams in the league exist with the purpose of re-stocking your ATL Braves? Unreal.

For Tex and Ohman the Braves should get back 4-5 players, depending on the caliber of players. (If both are packaged to one team that is)

What we need in return: Prospect wise is an outfileder with power, a starting pitcher (hard thrower) or a solid reliever (with closer potential), a first baseman (power). Those will be needs within the organization.

I would like to see Jeff Francine traded but is there even a market for him out there…I know Dayton Moore from the Royals loves Jeff…maybe some sort of deal could be done there but Braves probably won’t get much in return now.

From the Royals…we had a chance to go after David DeJesus last year and right now he’s their most exciting young outfielder. Shame it didn’t happen.

When Tex leaves, Braves can go after Mike Jacobs from the Marlins and sign him to a decent contract without having to break the bank.

Remember…with all the players coming off the books, Braves should have between 40-50 million to spend to sign new guys next year if payroll remains the same.

Even if the Braves had their pick of the All-Star team, they will not win with Booby in the dugout.

Remember this is not just a one-year surprise. The Braves have not made the playoffs since 2005, they have not made it past the LDS since 2001, they have not made it to the World Series since 1999 and they have not won it since 1995.

Ill go ahead and put it out there. I dont think we sell. I know that it does not matter now, but we had a sweep of the Phillies in our hand. If the bullpen, who has been supurb all year long would have been able to make a few smarter pitchers, this decision would be alot easier and we would be 5.5 games out instead of 7.5.

We have beaten the Mets and Marlins all year. And we just showed that we can score runs against the Phillies. I dont think its too outlandish to think we cant come back with a good win streak. Hell the Mets got back in with winning 10 of 14.

The point I am trying to say is that it would not suprise me at all if we dont trade Tex and we try to pick up an outfielder. I think that Wren saw the potentional we have, just like in ‘91.

And to steal a line from a great baseball movie…”We just need one thing to put it all together!”

Good news is we dont have Rachel Phelps as an owner! ha

If Wren can’t get top prospects or an established star like Youkilis for Teixeira, then he has proven what an awful trade he made last summer.

I never understood the logic of the “rental”. (Doyle Alexander was a rental for the Tigers, and we got 20 years of John Smoltz.)

It makes more sense for a wealthy contender to acquire Teixeira, then match or beat top offers for him in the Fall. Bonding with teammates in a pennant race should help the process of re-signing him.

If the market is as weak for Teixeira as it seems, with only the Mets and Orioles seriously interested, then Boras should ask for the Braves’ best extension offer now ($55m for 3 years?) and give them a final yes or no early this week.

If Boras has so convinced everyone that Teixeira is going to be a pure auction that the Braves can’t attract suitable offers for him, then Wren made a terrible miscalculation in 2007. Clearly dealing for a Boras client is something to avoid repeating in the future.

Bobby, haven’t you got any guts? Victorino deliberately came at McCann with a head ram into Mac’s temple. He was out by a mile, but saw a clear shot to take Big Mac out. Why didn’t we throw at the Phillies next inning? Someone should have thrown a beaner at Vic’s fat head. The pitcher would have been ejected - so what? There may have been a bench-clearing brawl - good! These pathetic Braves need some motivation. Instead, they have to suffer another 5+ run lead blown in 24 hours against a hated division rival, as their disgusting fans taunt and mock chop. Then you stick your tails between your legs and limp out of town, 7 1/2 games out, when you could have SWEPT. But you lost the series, Bobby, because of your insane loyalty to those two gutless pitchers, Boyer and Reyes. Then you make vomit-inducing statements like “Blaine only made one mistake today,” or “You have to tip your cap to their hitters.” BULL! Where’s the fight? You’ve just been dog-slapped and you just take it. “We’ll go get ‘em tomorrow.” No, you won’t. It’s the same thing, game in and game out. I am so sick of this “gentlemen” act. The Phillies smell blood. Pick your heads up! At least go down fighting. You guys are making me sick. When Escobar first came up., he was so fired up. How refreshing that was. Now he’s caught the Brave’s lethargy, and the fire is gone. He looks just like Chipper or Francoeur as he calmly walks back to the dugout after hitting into a rally-killing double play. Come on! Wake up! Get mad! Go out and get ‘em tomorrow - for real! Kick some butt! Come on!

Where do you think Jurrjens and Smoltz came from? The came up through someone elses’s farm system (both from Detroit’s coincidentally) and we traded for them.

YOU CAN GET MAJOR LEAGUE TALENT AT A FRACTION OF THE COST - SOMETIMES HALL OF FAME TALENT. But you never know what you are going to get and that’s where the great management comes in. I can’t recall too many bad trades that the Braves have made for young players.

Trade Tex, Ohman, Kotsay, and now someone might give something for Hampton for the remainder of the season. Re-evaluate Francouer and KJ, they seem to be less than we thought they were. At least put KJ back in the outfield and use some of our real infielders at 2nd base. Get rid of TP as batting coach and do everything possible to get Don Baylor back.

Getting uncontrollably angry does not solve anything. Face it people: It’s not the manager. It’s called injuries and lack of talent. Hello? Earth to morons!

If we had the team we started out with, we would be burning up this league particularly the eastern division which is really weak. We didn’t anticipate losing so many players and we didn’t anticipate Francoeur tanking it. Frankly, we didn’t anticipate Tex having an off-year either. Really, I think this team is actually doing better than it should given who is playing in the outfield.

How about next year we build up the bench so that we actually have guys who BELONG IN THE MAJOR LEAGUES. We can’t have a load of .200 hitters subbing for injured legit players. It’s ridiculous! SPEND THE MONEY!

Why do anything just for the sake of doing something.

Can we look position by position.

The move you make right now is to offer Tex a 6 year $90,000,000 a year contract and then build around him. He wants to stay in Atlanta so lets give him a shot and see if thats true.

KJ is absolutely to streaky and his defense is a liability. Infante would look good at this position. He always puts the ball in play. Lillibridge might work here also.

Escobar is our future and when Hoss retires he goes to 3rd and Lillibridge moves to short.

Our outfield is a shambles. Kotsay is at the end and would make a good bench player. From here on out Frenchy should earn his starts. Things have always come easy for him and he’s never had a down year. We give him the benefit of the doubt but if his poor strike zone continues next year send him down for an extended period. Anyone can do what he’s doing. Blanco is earning himself a spot for the future so for now we only need an outfielder. $20,000,000 for Holliday sound good.

Glavine’s $8 mil Hampton’s $16 mil Smoltzies $8 mil

Thats $30 mil saved so for $5 mil more we have improved our team and gotten younger in the process.

2009 opening roster

Catcher-McCann can First-Tex Second-Infante Short-Escobar Third-Hoss Left-Holliday Center-Blanco Right-Frenchy

Extras outfileders are Anderson and Kotsay Extras Infileders are Lillebridge and Prado Extra Catcher would be anyone in our farm system

That leaves 12 pitchers Keepers are: Gonzo, Soriano, Jurrgens, Campillo, Hudson, Morton, Ohman, Bennett, Moylan and fill the 3 remaining spots with:

sign Hampton for $1 mill and tell him he owns us. We paid him now he needs to pay us. Surely we have 2 minor league pitchers that can be moved up. Remember, they can’t do worse than what we have. Can they?

Sounds good to me.

As for coaching; Keep Bobby but bring back his old staff. Corralles, Mazzone, Don Baylor and Jimy Williams. We could have them all for a song.

Finally one poster said the Braves were just having bad luck. Luck is where preparation meets execution. We’ve not done either for a while.

I have been a Braves fan, like most of all you, since I was a little kid. I could feel disaster coming on as soon as nearly all of our key management changed. Turner gone (although he didn’t do much), John no longer the GM making decisions, Leo Mazzone & Ned Yost leaving…I think this has been a few years running and it’s finally catching up.

I still can’t figure out why Atlanta doesn’t get key players at key positions like EVERY other contender in major league baseball. Nobody is contending for a division title without a good CF and closer. Those may seem like obscure references but those are the 2 pieces Atlanta has been missing since contending years ago (at least having them both at the same time.)

I also agree with the comments about Terry Pendleton…none of the Braves seem to be improving except for Escobar and, let’s face it, he’s just a stud. So why trade away our only consistent hitter for a guy that won’t hit for 3 years because our hitting coach sucks?

We have now and always have spent too much money on old guys because we are a loyal franchise. But let’s face it, loyalty doesn’t win you championships.

And one last thing…maybe we should get a new trainer and/or strength & conditioning coach, because no other franchise in baseball goes through the injuries to EVERY SINGLE player like the Braves do.

Props to Pete Rose for calling out Booby on the knockout play yesterday.

With respect to proeye’s comment about not advocating beaning, when one of your players gets laid out like McCann did yesterday, notice needs to be served to the opposing team in some manner that they are simply not going to do that to your players and get away with it.

You older Braves fans might recall an incident in the early 90’s when current hitting coach Terry Pendleton walked off the field in the middle of an inning b/c the Braves’ pitcher did not knock down the opposing batter in retaliation for some infracion in an earlier inning.

This is not advocating to hit and harm someone, but there are ways to serve notice to the opponents that they are not going to splay out your players like Victorino did to McCann without consequences.

Even Joe Simpson called that a clean, hard nosed play. That is the way that baseball is supposed to be played, with emotion, spirit and guts - three things lacking under the Booby Cox administration.

Put kelly back in the OF & let Prado play 2B. Let Brian McCann learn 1st base for the rest of the year. He is too good of a hitter to sit out every 5-7 days for rest… and to avoid head on collisions like he did yesterday. He is the future of this team not Tex, not Francine.

I never said I was a genius, but before you criticize Mr. Rocket Scientist, you get your facts straight. Andruw became a 10 and 5 guy only AFTER the trade deadline in 2006, which made it even more imperative to seriously discuss trading him.

Right now this team doesn’t have much to “build” around for the future. If…a big “if”… the Braves were committed to signing Tex to a long-term deal and being aggressive in the free agent market this offseason then they should keep the current team in tact. However, we all know that’s not the case. So the Braves should definitely “sell.” In fact they should be willing to trade more than just Tex…include Chipper and Hudson on the list. It’s quite obvious this team has no chance of winning this year and the current ownership has made it perfectly clear they have no intention of spending money on this team. The Braves ownership is only concerned with reselling this team in the next few years. With this in mind the Braves front office should be collecting as much young talent as they can for the quality veterans they have now. Gone are the days of the Braves paying free agents to improve their team or paying it’s own players to stay.

Chipper could extend his career by going to an AL team and becoming the next coming of Edgar Martinez. While Tim Hudson deserves to finish his career with a team committed to winning.

It’s been a downward spiral ever since Ted Turner sold this team. Braves’ fans can only hope there is an “Arthur Blank-type owner” out there willing to ride in on a white horse and save the day.

I think the whole scenario depends on whether or not Glavine, Smoltz, and Hampton will be back next season. If not, that frees up a lot of money.

Personally, I’d trade Tex (we don’t need someone good only 1/2 the season), move Chipper to 1B, trade Franceour.

Build up the pitching, and get power at 3B and in the outfield.

And for heavens sake, please get rid of Corky Miller!!

Come on! This talk about knocking someone out is utterly ridiculous. Some of you fans are completely clueless.

THE BRAVES AREN’T EVEN IN THE RACE! Not to mention that the Phils have completely owned the Braves this year! What reason would Philadelphia have for knocking out a player on a losing team???? Do you honestly think this was planned? Players are supposed to knock the catcher down to knock the ball away! It’s part of the game in case you haven’t noticed!

I swear a lot of you fans get on these “forums” and spout off whatever ridiculous thoughts pop into your heads without even thinking. I think some of you may even be on drugs, on gangs, or are pre-postal.

I’m telling you… So many of you are sore losers because the Braves have won for 14 years and now that we are going through a downtime, you want blood. Give them a chance. Doesn’t anyone remember the late 80’s?? I lived through that time. I’ve been a loyal Braves fan for 26 years and I’ve been through the trying times. Get used to it. Let’s make some effective trades for younger players and rebuild the dynasty.

The braves need a starting pitcher to build around other than tim hudson. A good pic up might be derek lowe, ben sheets, jon garland, bronson arroyo, or aj burnett. They also need to get a healthy outfield player such as manny ramirez, matt holiday, randy winn, jason bay, or josh willingham.

There are plenty of options i just hope they make some sort of deal to help the team. And trade that fool mike hampton if u can get anything out of him.

Not being an insider, I cannot tell you who is the problem. But, look at the record. The Braves win most of their games by hitting the “long ball”. This has been Bobby Cox’ style since day one. If you have outstanding ptiching, it works. I don’t believe Pendleton can teach “back side hitting”. Frenchy could sure benefit by that approach. Cox’ style and TP’s ignorance appear to be the major problem. Reverse the one run losses and we would be leading the world. I would also sell at this point. Anyone over 30 would be on the move list except the franchise players. Show some respect to Chipper, Smoltz, and Glavine. They were and still are the class of the franchise.

Hire a manager who will lite a fire under our players a**’s. We haven’t had fire in our dugout since the early 90’s.

Pitching hasn’t been the real problem it’s been situational hitting. I believe the Braves wuold make a good decision being a buyer or seller. If you buy get the timely hits You’ll win a bunch of games. If you sell you set up next year. I think Jordan Schaefer needs to be traded though. He is on track to be a huge dissappointment I think. And keep Kotsay he’s hitting well, but we do need some pop out there. Kelly Johnson needs to be benched for Infante and I love Prado but there isn’t any room for him and he could be a nice guy to make a deal spicier(sp.)

You have to receive the friends of Babylon only from Braves and Wren. Why?

Now PT&GM of Braves are under the ruling of Babylon, so Babylon must attack the player you received from Braves for the purpose of making PT&GM people having insight. Do you understand?

But, Babylon can’t attack their army and as a result of that, you can use freely. Do you understand?

Now Wren want to trade Jason Perry, Brandon Jones, both player being disturbed by Babylon from past to now.

After all, select player you MLB player can use freely, just like

Joseph Reyes, Joseph Sammon, Brent Lilibridge, Grego Blanco, Jeff Bennet, Manny Acosta, Jeff Ridgway, Paul Resop(He is good I think), Greg Norton, Martin Prado, etc.

Can’t believe there are still a few comments about being buyers? This is the time to restock the minors to replace what we have lost in some ill-advised moves by JS last yr. and other times. Maybe Victorino was just playing hardnosed baseball, but you still have to respond. Boyer should have decked the next batter or Victorino should have been sat on his butt the next time up. That one’s on the pitching coach. You can’t let a team hit that many homeruns against you and get any respect if you don’t. I’m not saying throw behind a guys ear and try to seriously hurt him but a little brush back is called for.

Once again, its all about the money. To steal a line from Jerry McGuire, “Show me the money.” You can’t get winning major league talant on the cheap. When/If the payroll approaches 120 million you will see improvement. Until then forget it. Expect a mediocre club at 85-90 million.

DOWN ON THE FARM:

R=Braves now solidly intrenched in last place and in the weakest division of the IL. First to worst is raising its ugly head on the September horizon.

JOSH ANDERSON has regained his equilibrium and is now batting .292 He may resurrect his old self yet.

BRIAN LAWRENCE has performed well in a starting role, but as some may know has extensive ML experience and will be 32 on his next birthday.

PHIL STOCKMAN must be disheartened because he’s now beginning to leak earned runs with each of his last three outings. He even surrendered his first home run. Focus is a terrible thing to waste. What a shame. Thank you Braves management.

You are being deceived by the fraud media!!

Last year, NHK visited Northkorea for the checking of santa’s inspiration when N.K. did memorial march for army of N.K in Phyungyagn City.

1. The gigantic propaganda of North Korea’s army was lie, just trucks together with troops only did exist. ^*^

2. The introducers of N.K.Women were having luxurious jewels around fingers and wrists. ^*^

3. The ashtray on the table of humble Building was the most expensive one made by China. ^*^

4. Among 25,000,000 populations of N.K. Only 3~5,000,000 only living in N.K. for the play of fraud about satelite of world.

5. And 10,000,000 was attacking Japan by implant and neutron from the death of King Sowha Japan to now.

[Check! the number of population in Japan exploded about 10,000,000 just after King Sowah’s death]

1. And 10,000,000 were attacking Southkorea by the exact tactics.

[Check! the population of Southkorea explodes just after the president Park Jung-Hui’s death by palace gaurd]

1. In N.K. only three flight per day exist, together with helicopter, fighter, etc. ^*^

2. For over 50 years, in southkorea and japan, strangely real Yamato tribe’s desendants were daughter. Especially, Yamato tribe having Chivaley, borned daughter continuously. Why? Babylon killed man baby by neutron wave of particle when fertilized egg made in the womb. ^*^

Babylon don’t always want to implant in ears, but from time to time they do implant about hand, elbow, shoulder, knee, hamstrang, etc. ^*^

When I was in Sekaikyuseikyo Japan’s Seoul church, a priest who was son of some ex-bishop of catholic came to me and requested drinking. ^*^

And I was intrigued about the purpose, because in my both ears implant existed. ^^ But after that, im my right palm, the same tiniest scar as in ear-hole was made. ^^

For the purpose of disturbing my radiation of the force of messiah I checked. ^*^

Do you understand? why I am now explaining my experience? ^*^

You must destroy the basic neutron wave of particle radiater. And whole implant and HARRP machine must be rubbish right now.

Babylon controlled Iraq and Kuwait’s intelligence unit. And Iraq intruded Kuwait. But after that, USA army made open the gate of resonance schumann to Iraq. Why? for the purpose of intruding Iran freely. ^*^

After that, Babylon attacked Afganistan by several methods, why? for the purpose of intruding Iran freely. ^*^

Ultimate purpose of Babylon is now ruling of Iran by implant and neutron completly. ^*^

Therefore Iran now try to invent ICBM for the purpose of attacking Korean Peninsla’s neutron system. So, Babylon orderred to Israel’s friends, descendant of people who constructed fake relics about Jesus from past to now. ^*^

With M.Diaz and J.Francoeur and Brandon Jones and Jason Perry and Reid Gorecki, Braves have to trade other outfielders like G.Blanco and J.Bochard etc, because upper five players have great slg ability and qualified for Major. J.Perry and R.Gorecki’s only problem is experience of MLB.
