The Braves home opener is in exactly 15 hours and I’m so stoked to be back at the Ted! I’m so glad I get to see Chipper’s last opening day in person. I’m, not sure if it’ll top seeing him get his 2,500th hit though, which was off Cliff Lee I might add; one of the nastiest pitchers I’ve ever had the privilege to see pitch in person. Gaaah I can’t wait to get back to the 3 Bs: Beer, Burgers, and Baseball. GO BRAVES!!!
^^^^THIS^^^^
Is what a ballplayer should look like. High socks and stirrups. Let’s bring it back Chip
My baseball withdrawals are getting so bad I’d even watch a Spring Training game.. FWAAAHHHH Why can’t it be baseball season yet?!
Prado for Delmon Young? I can dig it
With Hanson and JJ (assuming he’s a Brave next year) having repetitive health issues and Huddy only getting older (he’ll still be of ace caliber in 2012) I’m going to go ahead and say that Beachy will be our Ace by 2012’s end if he can stay healthy and log enough innings. Go Braves
Damnit I’m already starting to get withdrawals from not being able to watch my Bravos :/ I’m gonna miss watching my 2 favorite Braves pitch. Medlen uses his change up so well and I hope he gets a shot to crack the rotation again. He was definitely more than effective in the 5 spot before he blew his arm out
Some goods ones I found on the interweb
A hot dog at the ballgame beats roast beef at the Ritz. ~Humphrey Bogart
What is both surprising and delightful is that spectators are allowed, and even expected, to join in the vocal part of the game…. There is no reason why the field should not try to put the batsman off his stroke at the critical moment by neatly timed disparagements of his wife’s fidelity and his mother’s respectability. ~George Bernard Shaw

Trying to sneak a pitch past Hank Aaron is like trying to sneak a sunrise past a rooster. ~Attributed to both Joe Adcock and Curt Simmons
You can’t sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You’ve got to throw the ball over the goddamn plate and give the other man his chance. That’s why baseball is the greatest game of them all. ~Earl Weaver
The greatest feeling in the world is to win a major league game. The second-greatest feeling is to lose a major league game. ~Chuck Tanner, quoted in The Sporting News, 15 July 1985
Progress always involves risks. You can’t steal second base and keep your foot on first. ~Frederick B. Wilcox
Baseball isn’t something you love for a day or a week or a year, it’s something you love for a lifetime. It doesn’t end with the season, it becomes part of you and it lasts forever and if it doesn’t, then you never really loved it to begin with.

To see people receive chance after chance and continually throw it away when there are those out there who would give up everything for just one
On a more positive note, Justin Verlander is a boss. Go Tigers! Fuck the Yankees!!
Aren’t the same without the Braves and it hurts to watch them :/
Tampa Bay is taking it all
