Braves cap

In case anyone is wondering why JonC might be ashamed to wear his Braves cap in public, here is their post season performance over the past 19 years. Not only have they lost all of the past 10 playoff series they've been in, they've lost 5 elimination games in those 10 series, including losing last Wednesday's game 13-1, after giving up 10 runs in the 1st inning.

 

As a life long Met fan I know what it is like to experience annual disappointment.

 

Lifelong Braves fan. Thought this team was going to be different. I got in my car after work and pulled out my phone to see a 10-0 score in the first. Went home and watched Jeopardy instead. Didn’t watch one pitch of that game I was so disgusted.

 

1991 was a fabulous year. Have I mentioned I was at Game 7? Greatest baseball game I have ever attended. Probably the best World Series game ever, though some cite 1975 Game 6, Carleton Fisk's walk-off HR in the bottom of the 12th. But the game in 1975 led to a Game 7 which the Red Sox lost, whereas my Game 7 clinched the world championship.

 

The NL East promises to be very competitive for the foreseeable future. The Braves have a good young team. The Nationals proved they can win without Bryce Harper. The Phillies under performed but should get better. The Mets have good starting pitching and young talent. Fun times.

I'm a Braves fan too, and was very disappointed at their collapse again this year. But more than that, I was very disappointed at the idiocy of letting the opposing pitcher, ostensibly a Cherokee, disallow the "tomahawk chop."

What idiocy, letting a single member of the opposing team dictate anything at all about your team, much less something that your fans enjoy doing to encourage the team. Political correctness run wild. I quit wearing my own Braves cap and haven't put it back on.

 

Oh, we're friends all right. I pray for friends who have slipped and fallen like you apparently have.

 

Braves, Falcons, and Bulldawgs all three guaranteed to blow the big games.

 

There is no way I can root for another NL East team.

Oh, to live in Jersey or Maryland again! As a teenager, I used to go crabbing in Barnegat Bay every summer. When my wife and I lived in Maryland blue crabs were part of that state's culture. Thankfully, I found a place in Florida that catches its own crabs in the Peace River and Charlotte Harbor.
