The Evil Genius Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 The Atlanta Braves are the Notre Dame Fighting Irish of the Dallas Cowboys of the Los Angeles Lakers. Their fan base solely exists because Ted Turner shoved them down peoples throats before regional sports networks started showing all the games of the home team. Plus their racist chop and song needs to go. 😁 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom in NoVa says, "Your team wins everything!" and I'm like, "15 consecutive division titles and only ONE World Series win...yeah, we win..."🙄 And if the Team has to change their name and logo so as to be in compliance with "no Native American references", I must fully agree. Change the name. If the beloved football Team I grew up loving had to do it, I've adjusted & it ain't easy, but so do you. Same for the Chiefs.

The Evil Genius Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) Fwiw Angels apparently traded their #1 prospect as well as a top 6 guy for Giolito and Lopez a month ago. Guessing they are trying to stay under the luxury tax (CBT) but still... Edited August 30, 2023 by The Evil Genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were no teams east of the Mississippi and below the mason Dixon line. Florida teams would not arrive until the 90s I remember watching Cubs games on WGN, especially during the summer when school was out and they frequently played day games - they actually had all day games up until 1988 but even after that they were frequently day games more often than not from what i remember. I liked some of their players (Maddux, Dawson, Dunston, etc.) but never really became a big Cubs fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsmarydu Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Just so y'all know...if it comes down to Braves/Orioles, I'm an Oriole. (I still have a thing about Tom Glavine being head of the PA and going on strike way back when, ended up ruining my money as a bartender for a while...and the team moving out of town.) I must admit...on the first day of the strike I went to Lollapalooza and blew an absolute ****ton of money. (The Clinton years treated me well.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
