Congrats to OT Watcher for winning the draft contest – he correctly submitted MKG and 8 SEC players and no one predicted the Hawks taking John Jenkins or the green bow-tie/blue checkered shirt combo for Terrence Ross. (When the Mrs. 5-at-10 saw it, she simply offered, “Wow, who made that choice… they should be fired.” And when a suit choice potentially gets someone fired, is there any way that’s not impactful.) Thanks for playing.

From the “Talks too much” studios, here we go…
Hey 5@10,
We’re almost to the halfway mark in baseball. The Braves are sitting 3 ½ games out of first. The hitting has been consistently inconsistent. The pitching has been pretty solid with the exception of some rough outings by the 4 and 5 men. They play better on the road than at home. Injuries continue to plague Chipper and the loss of Beachy is a killer. How would you rate the Braves throughout the first half of the year?
