Post-game forum: Wasted opportunities
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Braves fell to the Reds 5-4 Friday night in Cincinnati, costing them a crucial game in the wild-card race.
The Braves wasted 5 1/3 no-hit innings from rookie Chuck James and also loaded the bases with no outs in the ninth inning before Brian McCann flied out to short left field and Jeff Francoeur grounded into a game-ending double play.
What are your thoughts on the game? How painful was it to watch the at-bats by McCann and Francoeur?

Andruw unhappy
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Andruw Jones is not happy about being placed on waivers, even if it was only to gauge other team’s trade interest in the Braves center fielder.
“I think it’s rude,” Jones said Friday. “At least call and say something. Pick up the phone and tell me if it’s nothing, just a rumor, or we’re doing something. Then it wouldn’t be such a shock to me if it happens.”
Braves general manager John Schuerholz said in response to Jones’ remarks, “I’m sorry if Andruw thinks that it’s rude, but waivers are confidential.”
Have the Braves treated a veteran player poorly? Or is the GM only doing what is best for his franchise? What do you think?

UGA 14th in USA Today poll
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The only preaseason poll that has BCS implications has been released, and Georgia is the No. 14 pick of the coaches who voted.
Ohio State is No. 1, and even lowly Duke, which was 1-10 last season, got the vote of Steve Spurrier, who continues to show loyalty to the first college program to give him a head coaching job.
What do you think about the rankings overall, and Georgia’s in particular? About Georgia Tech receiving votes? If you’re a Jackets’ fan, are you more excited knowing Notre Dame will be ranked No. 3 when it visits Sept. 2 in the season opener?
Or are you just feeling goose bumps in this suffocating weather knowing that college football season is just around the corner?
