    Remember when...?

    Jair Jurjenns was supposed to be the next big thing for the Braves, he was going to be the second coming of Cy Young, and Jeff Francouer was supposed to be the next 500 homer guy?

    Both just got shit canned, outrighted on the same day.

    Never knew that, although don't even smoke when I'm at the tables......Usually just carry around a pack when I go out and drink.....have a few cigs and give a few away to people. More a social thing, like the smoke breaks at bars and clubs

    Don't smoke besides that
