So, I like the Braves. Actually, baseball is my favorite sport - I'll watch it live, on TV, and listen on the radio every chance I get. Of course the Atlanta Braves are my favorite team because 1) I'm from Georgia and 2) my grandfather is a long-time Braves fan who can quote any former or current Braves player's stats off the top of his head. Plus I think they're the best-looking team in all of baseball. They don't get scruffy and fat like some other teams. They are the all-American, apple pie, boy-next-door team. And I love to cheer them on!
So, here's what I think about the season thus far: better than expected after last year, but definitely room for improvement. Braves have won most of their series played so far, but they've only swept one. To compete for the NL East title, they'll have to kick it up a notch. I don't like to criticize individual players, because I know they have at least some talent to make it to the majors. So you won't read any player-bashing here. I respect them too much for that. But I will give credit where credit is due... Smoltz. Renteria. Francouer. Jones, C. Harris. Diaz. McCann. Wickman. Villareal. Hudson. And of course, the skipper who pulls it all together year after year. Bobby Cox is THE MAN.
Go Braves!
