Atlanta Braves Trade Kotchman for LaRoche

Adam LaRoche returns to the Braves in exchange for first base­man Casey Kotch­man and 1.5 mil­lion in cash. The trade makes sense for Atlanta as they hope Adam can pro­vide some power as he nor­mally does in the sec­ond half of the season.

Although Casey Kotch­man has been hot lately, he has never hit more than twenty homers in a sea­son. LaRoche should fit in smoothly with the Braves since he’s been here before. In his last year as a Brave Adam punched out 32 homers, 90 rbi’s, and a .285 bat­ting average.

Adam LaRoche will be a free agent at the end of the season.

Falcons Sign First Round Draft Peria Jerry

Atlanta Fal­cons signed DT first rounder Peria Jerry today. He should have a big impact on the front line and start imme­di­ately. Peria Jerry is a 6–2 294 lbs. beast from Mis­sis­sippi who will add size and strength up the mid­dle on defense. Also take note, the Fal­cons have signed all their rook­ies and all will be set to go in train­ing camp.

Do the Jonas Brothers have Talent?

For those of you who are not aware there are three broth­ers from New Jer­sey who formed a rock band called Jonas Broth­ers. I’m sure I’m not the first per­son who had seri­ous doubts about this trio who con­sists of Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas and Kevin Jonas.

I heard of these guys sing before but never gave them much thought. My inter­est started to grow after I saw the Jonas Broth­ers on the July 2008 cover of Rolling Stone Mag­a­zine. They were the youngest band ever to grace the cover of the cel­e­brated music jour­nal. The Jonas Broth­ers orig­i­nally became trendy with the Dis­ney Chan­nel. Released from their first album It’s About Time, the Year 3000 became a hit sin­gle on Radio Dis­ney and a music video soon followed.

In 2007, the Jonas Broth­ers self-titled sec­ond album was released. It was an imme­di­ate suc­cess reach­ing num­ber five on the Bill­board Hot 200 chart in its first week! S.O.S. and Hold On were hit songs with videos from the trac.

In the Sum­mer of 2007, the Jonas Broth­ers sang We Got the Party with Miley Cyrus. The song was per­formed on the Han­nah Mon­tana tele­vi­sion show and seen by more than 10.7 mil­lion view­ers. Soon after they were invited to the White House to sing the national anthem.

The pop­u­lar­ity of the Jonas Broth­ers was now explod­ing, sur­pass­ing all expec­ta­tions. In August 2008 they released their third album A Lit­tle Bit Longer fea­tur­ing the hit songs Burn­ing Up and Pushin’ Me Away. They also co-wrote six songs for close friend Demi Lovato dur­ing the shoot of the well received movie Camp Rock. Later that same year the Jonas Broth­ers were nom­i­nated for Best New Artist at the 51st Grammy Awards.

Lines, Vines and Try­ing Times shows the bands pro­gres­sion from teeny bop­pers to seri­ous musi­cians. The Jonas Broth­ers really show­case their diver­sity from the power gui­tar riffs of Para­noid to the love bal­lad Fly With Me or the catchy Poi­son Ivy. Lines, Vines, and Try­ing Times dis­plays a vari­ety of songs that reaches out to a broader and more sophis­ti­cated audience.

Cur­rently the Jonas Broth­ers World Tour 2009 is in full swing. They are play­ing in mul­ti­ple coun­tries all over the world and are sched­uled to per­form at Philips Arena in Atlanta on August 22, 2009. Catchy lyrics such as Para­noid that are embed­ded in my brain is proof the Jonas Broth­ers have emerged into an extra­or­di­nary tal­ent that will be with us for years to come.
