I did not recall this, Glavine throwing at Murphy.

Kinda funny.
I didn't remember that either.

Atlanta had traded Murphy, along with RHP Tommy Greene, to Philadelphia on August 3, 1990 in exchange for Jeff Parrett, Jim Vatcher and Victor Rosario.

Boy, the Braves really got some valuable players there!  What a steal!  :smiley_confused1:

Well, Murph had a big salary and was past his prime.

He's a super nice guy.  Bear in mind the Braves went on that winning streak not long after this.

As I recall, Murphy had a mole on his face removed, and that seemed to coincide with his fall from great player to merely good player.

Murphy fell off a cliff, production-wise.  The Braves merely acted intelligently, wanting to trade him a year early rather than a year late.  

Andruw Jones had a similar production crash.

The Pres was never part of the party, never will be.  
Someone tell the republican senators, because they've been kneeling with mouths open for him since day 1.

Andruw Jones is also a very nice human being.  He speaks 4 languages well.  He spoke French with the wife, she said he had an accent of course but was understandable.   I can't speak four languages (duh).

Murphy came up as a catcher.  Marquis Grissom came up as a pitcher.  Most of these players can do just about anything.

Pelosi and the Dems have too. 

If they are “resisting” him why have they passed most all of his legislative agenda?

If he’s such a danger, why did they give him another $130 billion a year to buy weapons and bomb the Middle East and North Africa? Why did they expand his powers to spy on Americans? 

It’s all a charade to distract people. They don’t really oppose each other. It’s all theatre to distract Americans and have them argue over silly little semantics. 

There’s one party. The corporatist party. And they have complete control of the government. Even that fraud AoC and even Bernie has been rolled by the Corporatists, they’ve both dropped to their knees like a cheap $2 whore. 

I really thought Trump might’ve been different, he talked a great game and was talking like he was going to be another Teddy Roosevelt or FDR and smash the establishment into pieces, but for the most part he’s been in lock-step with the establishment. I will give him a little bit of credit for killing the TPP.

We honestly just have a lot of bad options, and until the people rise up and say we’re not voting for either party and vote in a 3rd party we will just continue to get more of the same.

Never knew he was a racist

I’m sure there was a reason for the statue, but it seems like an odd one.

Prior to the Civil War had 1 slave that was given to him but he freed that slave almost immediately 

so I guess it doesnt matter whether your a conf or a yankee your statue is going down
