The once proud Atlanta Braves. They committed to a total rebuild, and are suffering for it.
I for one think they could have shored up their rotation better in the offseason, but they refuse to block the path for any of their15+ hotshot pitching prospets due to hit the big leagues in the next few years. Until then, it will be a flashback to the '80's when they stunk!
Hope your team is doing better!
After winless homestand, Braves' Turner Field farewell may be uglier than imagined
Ray Glier, Special for USA TODAY
ATLANTA - In the fifth inning of each home game this season at Turner Field, a celebrity, or a former Braves player, or a fan, will tear down a 10-foot tall plastic sheet with a red number written on it signifying the number of home games remaining. It is a countdown from 81 as the Braves play their final season at the 20-year old stadium on the south side of downtown.
There is some dread now that the season-long countdown - currently at 76 - could become a morbid six-month march.
In the house of Chipper Jones, Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, John Smoltz, Andruw Jones, and Bobby Cox, the Braves have started 0-5.
It is the first time since 1988 the team has dropped its first five games at home.

Sounds like the Dodgers need to go to Atlanta after every series with the Giants in order to right the ship!
The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.

But I'm not sad to see the Braves faltering I watched them win for decades...Let's Go Mets! It pains me to say I'd rather have the Mets win than the Nats. I really despise Harper and Strassburg.

We ignore professional baseball. Used to listen some on the radio but it's boring. The internet, TV and cell phones are the modern world. Read that Ted Williams was a hunter! ![[Linked Image]](https://s.yimg.com/fz/api/res/1.2/D_Vs.rFrrw2LFM3MSYHlTQ--/YXBwaWQ9c3JjaGRkO2g9MzAwO3E9OTU7dz0yMjQ-/http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTAyNFg3NjY=/z/6zoAAOSwcu5UQYRw/$_35.JPG)

Read that Ted Williams was a hunter! I can't stand it on TV or radio but it's a lot of fun to go to a good game in a nice stadium on a pleasant day. My brother had my Grandfather's Win 101 12 gauge but marked Ted Williams and sold by Sears.  He was truly a great American.

Went to the Tigers/Yankees game Saturday. 21* windchill. Too cold to drink beer. Hot dogs, peanuts, and hot chocolate just ain't the same. No matter, good time spent with my son. Yes, those are snow flurries at a baseball game. ![[Linked Image]](http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f344/samsamster/IMG_2369_zpsfoavyj7m.jpg)
