br549, i only commented specifically to you about the number of games...
And i said I HOPE... I did not predict as I am not psychic. I do not bet on anything, because It is not worth it to me to risk losing money to prove myself.
Uh. Smarts, last year is the only year he played in less than 100 games since his first year in 1993. The thing is, I don't care if he is trying to get some money, he deserves it after all the times he could have gone for more $... and if any of you know Chipper you know that he does not want to go down injured. I truly think he would have retired if he had not gotten hurt. And I think he deserves to get the chance to retire his way. Sabermetrics only measure #'s. They are only half the story, and anyone who actually watches baseball would know that. I also believe that if he had not been injured, we would have taken the world series. Chip has given so much to our team, and I hope he has an amazing year free of injury!
