An interesting tidbit from Mark Bowman’s blog today: Frenchy went fishing! Today’s batting practice got canceled because of a supposed rain storm that never showed, so Frenchy decided to make his wait a little more interesting than the rest of his teammates.

Unable to take batting practice because of a potential rainstorm that never arrived, the Braves spent the past couple of hours rehearsing for the inevitable long rain delays that await them this year.

Jeff Francoeur grabbed a fishing pole and threw his line into a pond that is located just outside the visitor’s clubhouse here at Osceola County Stadium and came away with 6-pound, 4-ounce largemouth bass, that was slightly bigger than Kris Medlen.

Since Opening Day is Sunday and I finally finished my last review after putting it off longer than I should have, here are the two Community Projections that I wrote for TalkingChop.com.

Also, here is the AJC Q&A interview with Braves’ new ace Derek Lowe. Lowe seems like a funny guy, so I’m sure he fits right in.
