  1. ESPN-MSG. The fix may be on unless of course they are trying to get Woody fired.
  2. Horford and Millsap got to play fewer minutes because Brand and Scott were pretty effective. Mack had a great 8 minutes too. No Pero tonight. I wonder if Bud has seen enough for now?
  3. Dittos. Brand looked good. Mike Scott is making the rotation. We are off to a pretty good start i think is an understatement. The games we lost were very close and even though we've played some bad teams so far we've had a lot of road games. The one thing that i hoped and thought would happen with this group is that they'd refuse to get blown out. I know i shouldn't be saying it right before the Knicks game but so far so good.
  4. Good lord. Could you be more blatant about this? So they want to create an easy way for fans from the north and east of cobb to get to the game as long as it doesn't allow 'people' from Atlanta into Cobb????? Because obviously by the unquestioned 'fan map' there are ZERO braves fans in the city. This is friggin unbelievably offensive. If the state puts any money toward running a friggin rail across the northern arc i'm going to hemorrhage. Good friggin riddence. Enjoy dealing with these ass clowns who won't pay for anything and want to build a moat at 285
  5. Go Hawks. They are looking better every game. We need to play some better teams to see what we've really got but its already hard to make the case that Ferry hasn't improved this team while at the same time cutting salary and obligations.
  6. Geez the first things that popped in my mind were not positive ones: infield fly eric gregg andruw jones walk off walk against kenny rogers chipper jones bobble head night Greg Maddux - that's the biggest. One of the greatest pitchers of all time
  7. Don't know what you mean by that but the stadium will not be in the city limits. We know they aren't changing the name but it's fun to poke. An Atlanta address means diddily squat.
  8. Well as was suggested they can ditch their offensive moniker now. How about the Cobb Cherokee to honor...oh wait
  9. That's exactly what i think and really is the sad state of affairs of the nba. Barring injuries the top 3-4 teams you could pick with 99% certainty when the season starts.
  10. That's the one part i'm still hopeful on. And for those tech oriented folks out there i find it funny that the home of the braves site explaining all this still has the default WordPress icon as the site icon rather than a Braves one. Seems kind of thrown together.
  11. Kasim Reed, who I think hasn't done a good job as mayor anyway, has just had his legacy thrown in the garbage can. He lets the team that really put Atlanta on the national map walk without a fight while he's busy kissing Arthur Blank's ass. Epic Fail.
  12. Real development was approaching that area anyway though for the first time ever. No help from the city or the Braves but Old Fourth Ward and Grant Park are doing well. But to go with your thought this new place isn't accessible. It may be on paper closer to some folks but it suuuuucks to get to from just about anywhere. And people live out of the city because they like the lifestyle out there better and prefer watching sports in their basement man cave with 60 inch tvs rather than fighting crowds. It won't matter whether its Turner field or Six Flags Braves. There are places i could have understood a move but this is a horrible location. Schurholtz's message is so full of arrogance it's offensive. Wait till the honeymoon is over. This will be awful attendance. Think how bad traffic was going to the Braves games when you are going against traffic. Now you'll be in the same rush hour that eveyone else going home is in.
  13. Never let little things like this get in the way of an agenda. Basically the Braves are disappointed in their relative lack of handouts. (the stadium itself of course excluded) in the wake of Arthur Blank's vip treatment by the mayor. Thank god there are a lot of great non sports things happening in this city compared to 20-30 years ago.
  14. Cancel their lease. Let them play in gwinnett until their stupid new stadium is built.
  15. Hilarious. The way Melo goes off against us he may be right but this year's hawks seem different. I know there are plenty around here who like Woody but embarrasing loses against top teams was what i hated the most about his coaching. Go Hawks!
  16. http://homeofthebraves.com/message/ Will be in the "heart of Braves country". I hated this braves country crap when they started it along with singing friggin thank god i'm a country boy or worse 'devil went down to GA' during the 7th inning stretch. Can they put the message out any clearer. They don't want to be located in a poor predominantly black neighborhood anymore. To blame this on transportation and then put the stadium where they selected is hypocrisy. So sitting literally on 75/85 and 20 is limited access? Transit options. Can't wait to ride the braves shuttle for an hour and half now. Parking? Oh there will be plenty of parking
  17. I just can't believe this. This will go down as the single dumbest move in the city's sports history filled with stupidity. WTF. I'm friggin speechless. -not in atlanta -horrible traffic even for atlanta -no mass transit -leaving a stadium still considered to be excellent and modern -seems to be a decision made in a vacuum -where is the dumb ass mayor on this one? Yeah we saved 8 falcons home games for $200 million. What about the 81 braves games -apparently they don't give a shit that they are going to alienate a large portion of the fan base the way they annouced this. Oh by the way we just decided over the weekend that we are moving. Sorry. -Arrrghhhh! -I thought building another football stadium that looks exactly like the current one and still has artificial turf was the stupidest idea of the year. I was wrong.
  18. http://www.ajc.com/news/sports/baseball/braves-plan-to-build-new-stadium-in-cobb/nbpNQ/ Is it April fools? I can't believe this shit. I'm super pissed right now and hope this is some kind of power play. If not what a bunch of friggin tools. What a nightmare. You think getting to Turner field is hard. Try the intersection of 75 and 285 Friday at 6. GM Chrysler i didn't need this bs.
  19. Al needs more work on the finger wag. Damn he's a lot smaller than Deke Why are they wearing spurs colors? Is Al recruiting?
  20. Trade Uggla for something. I wouldn't trade for Philips or I think we're back where we started. I'd go young a second. If we get just middling production from a second baseman that's way ahead of Uggla. We just need a solid contact hitter and good fielder. The team will sink or swim on the productions for Uptons, heyward and freddie.
  21. Cartier had a bad shooting game but his defense has been good. He just happens to play the position in our offense that requires you knock down 3s. With his effort and defense if he was a lights out shooter we wouldn't have been able to pick him up off waivers.
