Good news for Azar's
The Braves want Fukey back, says Ken Rosenthal. That assumes the Peavy deal goes through, and contrary to our previous post, Rosenthal said it's not close to being finalized.
There will be plenty of competition for Furcal. The Dodgers want him back, and as many as 10 other teams are rumored to have interest. Fukey wants a four-year deal, which would be too much for a guy coming off back surgery.
Raffy, 31, was having a career-year last season before his injury. He looked spry after his return, and the Braves would fill two huge holes -- SS and lead-off -- by signing him.

I had a feeling CB and CD would respond.

I bought a six pack at the one on Memorial Drive once. High prices, indifferent service, limited selection. Just what you want in a package store.

I once bought vodka from Azrar's. I had to provide my own brown bag.

Well, with the Peavy deal falling through - I see us sticking with Yesco for the long-term (unless he's REALLY on Bobby shit-list). I'm pretty happy with that. Hopefully Escobar's head is catching up with his talent.
Also, I'm curious as to whether anyone on this blog has every bought any booze from Azar's. The only two I know of know are the Azar's with the lookout by the Ted and the one on Memorial by Daddy D'z. Where/are there any others?

I'd love to get Furcal back; the Braves haven't had a real leadoff hitter since he left. And the length of contract he's seeking should give the team enough time to develop his replacement. Hopefully, they can develop an entire left side of the infield.
