Opening Day for Baseball!
Yup. (Though unimpressed with our trades and pitcher pick up performance in preseason. Particularly that brutal loss to the pirates).
Btw...there is an official baseball thread, just an fyi

...and that new ballpark :smt013 Don't even get me started on that one!
The Braves are leaving a perfectly good ballpark in Turner Field, that was located just south of Downtown Atlanta for a new location nestled in the pocket of the worst traffic glut in the entire region.
Turner Field is easy to get to, has a proud history (with all them Division Tomahawks lined up AND hosted the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics) and is a damn fine stadium.
But it's located in the neighborhood. And after hearing Braves brass mention something along the lines of 'we wanna be closer to OUR fans....'
Let's just say that sounds fishy.

Yeah, the strikeout kings thing had gotten ridiculous!! But our pitching was sound (& that'd been a staple since the Shouerholtz days). Ugh! It's such a role-reversal playing bottom feeder.

That is what they said. And yes the demographics between South Atlanta & the northern burbs are totally different.
Fucked up ain't it?

Cobb County...right in the heart of the traffic glut.
It makes no sense (UNLESS it is viewed from a "let's move away from them" perspective)
Even Tim Kurkjian(sp) said he didn't get it.

I don't know if I'll be a Braves fan when they leave Turner Field. Since I've moved back to Maryland, I have my choice of the O's or the Nats. I watch both, but I'm more inclined to cheer the Orioles (being the Maryland team 'n all)

See I knew you had a sense of humor, but these chicks are trying to separate you from me like I'm that contagious kindergartner with chickenpox
Watch out, Phillies-phlogger. We Philly fans are die-hard.
