Finally Some Good Sports News
From today's AJC blog:
We’re expecting Chipper Jones to go on the 15-day disabled list this afternoon, which is obviously bad news for the Braves, who don’t win nearly as frequently without their best hitter in the lineup.
And just in time. Have fun on the DL, Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarry.

WOOOO!!!!
What a story to wind up a slow news day!!!!

Myers goes into the setup slot, Gordon goes on the DL, Happ gets called up (although I was kind of hoping they'd give Durbin a shot at it).

Chipper avoids DL, returns to lineup
Chipper Jones (quad) won't only avoid the disabled list, but he's expected to start at third base for Tuesday's game.
Quite a surprise. Manager Bobby Cox said today that he fully expected Chipper to land on the disabled list. Jul. 1 - 5:13 pm et
