As an owner of a few retail stores for almost a decade my biggest issues were with employees. Now, in business, my motto is the fewer the better .

But as for finding a job, it's a job. Hang in there and keep looking.....they are out there if you really want one. I suggest taking a job just to have one and keep looking for a better one.

Why are you picking on Dan Uggla? He had a pretty good career and now it looks like its over. Just like lots of athletes ....

[clydepepper]

You're right, of course. Danny-O always made a big effort...at least he never blamed his difficulties on the umpire like B.J. does.

Both of them let their batting troubles effect their defense and Uggla's wasn't good to start with.

I just hate that the Braves are getting stuck with bad free agents and bad trades. Way too much money tied up...almost like they're a big market or something.

...while I'm ranting...I hate 'Slip' Carray!

I have said all along, Uggla and B.J. Upton are jokes. Upton is only on the roster because of his brother, and it's not like he's a superstar. Frank Wren should be fired just because of these two signings....Raymond- Don't know why you hate Skip Caray, he was one of the best I always thought...

slip is an arrogant, self-entitled idiot. Son of a good broadcaster who became a very bitter older man and grandson of one of the great characters but not one of the great broadcasters ever. slip thinks that the world waits for his homerun calls and the louder the better. Seems like the said this about someone else, but it fits more in his case- 'He was born on third and thinks he hit a triple.'

Vin Scully is the best broadcaster of all time - it's not EVEN close - AND he works alone!

Frank Wren definitely screwed up with the 'U's, but I think he did great this March in getting Santana and Harang in an emergency situation.

Agree about Scully, but still surprised about your feelings towards Skip. I had heard he could be an asshole with the public, and somewhat of a jerk....But Hell, can't they all???

I love listening to Scully! Even being on the east coast, I always look for a Dodgers home game on TV in the hopes I can hear him!

Um, I'm no Braves guy and haven't watched their Superstation games in years, but aren't you guys talking past each other? Skip is dead, and clydepepper is ranting about his son Chip, or am I missing something?
