Chipper Jones Gained a Few Pounds in the Off-Season



Ok, so I've been a Braves fan since I could walk and this is killing me, but I gotta post it.  I read an article on the Braves and Red Sox yesterday and how they are both approaching the new season differently after similar collapses that kept them out of the playoffs in 2011.  The Red Sox are changing pretty much everything about themselves including management.  The Braves are basically staying the same and relying on the same roster to take them to the playoffs in 2012.  I do like pretty much everyone on the team and think we have a good shot at the post season, but damn Chipper is old and fat.  Has anyone else seen this picture.  I mean the guy was never the skinniest, but daaaamn he got big.  Someone needs to tell him that when you get old your suppose to take steroids like Roger Clemens, and Barry Bonds, and basically everyone else in his era.  Like dude you earned a free pass to take steroids.  You played 90% of your career in the roid era.  I just can't let my favorite player go out looking like a tub of lard.  Get on the juice Chip.  If not for yourself, do it for your fans.
