Local columnist ignores baseball

That's not exactly a revelation, of course.

But it struck me recently that the local organ's most prominent sports columnist, Mark Bradley, has written exactly zero columns about the Braves since the season started. On the organ's Braves page, his latest contribution is from March 21.

Just figured that was worth noting. Some of their other guys have occasionally weighed in on the club.

On a far more interesting note, the home team has a gauntlet waiting after leaving the pretty little park by the river in Steel Town: 3 at Philly, 3 at home against Oakland, then four each vs. the Mets and D'backs. If we can hold our own, we'll head into the summer feeling good. It's too bad Smoltz probably won't be back for that stretch.

Wonderful homestand, as CB will detail soon. Wonderful play by Yesco leading off the 9th. It's too early now, but at some point, the team must lock this guy up long term. He is a star. He'll be the cornestone every day player once Chipper retires.

As luck would have it, Mr. Bradley posted a column today ...

When your most prominent sports columnist is Mark Bradley, well, this is what you have to expect.

That's why we come here for our Braves news and chatter about the home team.

The local columnist are too busy telling us that Chris Paul and Deron Williams have turned into better NBA players than Marvin "Fly" Williams. If we make the playoffs, Bradley will dust off a column about why we did not beat the Padres in '98.
