There are rumblings that Frenchy's up on the trading block, along with Teix, Kots, and Will Ohman. So I asked him if he wanted to be the 'snapping turtle' and he said no, he's content to just be The Turtle. Jerome filled us in later.And to explain the whole Kelly Johnson 'The Turtle' thing, I asked Kelly and he says he's a quiet guy, he's a little shy, he basically just keeps to himself when everybody else is out giving each other grief and then once in a while he'll poke his head into the crowd and throw a jab in there and then he'll pull his head back in and look around and see if it was funny or not. AFrom after Wednesday's 9-4 victory over the Marlins.ДЄnd, everything else I haven't posted in the last (busy) couple of days.ДЇrom Wednesday's Braves Live - you may have noticed that Smoltzie called KJ 'The Turtle' when reading the lineup before the game.Greg White is NOT married! Y'all jump on that - he's cute.I don't have any pictures of that, and don't WANT them. Sounds like a good one, gang! If you make it, let me know, OK?ДЇun with Google! This week's good searches. In other news.this Friday: Braves Power Lunch! More info here attendees on the schedule are Chipper, Baby, Buddy, and KNUCKSIE. And Will doing the lineup as Harry Caray! WOO!Д«TW, does Will Ohman remind anyone else of Chandler Bing, personality-wise? Anyone? Just me? Okay, then. Charlie's better than Jo-Jo, and I don't trust Hampton as far as I can throw him. i bet willвЂ™s curious.This is not cool, man. I heard him do a snippet or two and it was damn good. heвЂ™ll be doing it in the voice of Harry Caray. HeвЂ™ll be back.вЂќД«E SURE to check out Will Ohman doing the lineups on FOX today. I asked if it was anything more than that, Jo-JoвЂ™s having a little more big league experience, what have you, cox said вЂњI like them both.вЂќ I asked if heвЂ™d liked what heвЂ™d seen out of Morton, he said вЂњYeah. For Morton to do it, he would be on three daysвЂ™ rest. The reasoning Bobby gave is that Jo-Jo is backing up Hampton today on regular rest. the move wonвЂ™t be official until game time but thatвЂ™s what itвЂ™ll be if hampton gets out to the mound. Who's being send down to make room for Hampton? By Carroll Rogers So Smoltz just charters the jet, doesn't own it! Hmm! *nose in air* (hee) With our luck, weвЂ™d probably go down somewhere. When asked if Smoltz was going to fly them up on the jet he charters, Hudson quipped: вЂњIf Smoltz wants to fly us, IвЂ™ll fly. This is classic: Hudson and Smoltz are going to travel together tomorrow to Birmingham to see Andrews, Smoltz for a scheduled checkup, Hudson to have his worrisome MRI results examined. Seeing how he handles players, pulls for them, IвЂ™ve got to believe itвЂ™s a blessing for me to start a new chapter in Atlanta.вЂќ

Randolph, chairman of the Minot chapter of MDF, says North DakotaвЂ™s mule deer differ from mule deer herds found elsewhere in the United States where mule deer migrate in large numbers from one region to another. The MDF pledges to save mule deer вЂњone acre at a timeвЂќ and the projects completed, under way and planned for the future typify that promise.Д. Other projects in the works involve approximately 1,000 acres of mule deer habitat on each of three different ranches in mule deer country, including one in the White Earth Valley.
