Today's word for the Braves' offense and defense: Putrid - in a state of foul decay or decomposition, as animal or vegetable matter; Of very low quality; rotten. I believe these definitions fit them to a tee!
You would think they had some leadership in that clubhouse - I just don't see it anywhere. And no, I don't me the coaching staff (even though there are a few changes that need to be made). Ever since Glavine, Maddux, and now Smoltz have retired, they haven't had any kind of players with leadership qualities. Chipper got to be the leader by default. I know he gives his all even when he tries to play while hurt but good gosh you would think someone else would step up. If they would have kept LaRoche things may have been different.
