Very well may. I'm not looking forward to facing Prior.

Has someone started a "World Serious" thread for those of us who are cable-challenged?

Evil Ted vs Dusty the Racist. This must be like the Iran/Iraq war for some people.

Dusty ain't no racist anymore than Rush is or the rest of us, for that matter.

I hate Ted. But he ain't on the field, and he ain't playin' the games. I've been a Braves fan since the days of Claudell Washington, Barry Bonnell, Gary Matthews, Biff Pocoroba, and Zane Smith.

Let's not forget Knucksie (and the ugliest uniforms ever) ;-)

Newbie.

I still have the ticket stub from April 12, 1966. (First Atlanta Braves Game)

Watched Tony Cloninger go 13 innings (on Opening Night!) and Joe Torre hit a homer, but lose to Pittsburg 3-2.

That set up 25 frustrating years.
Followed by 12 years of ecstasy

Yep, I can see where the Braves winning a mere one playoff game can be cause for celebration.

But you tomahawk choppers are going down, as usual.

DUSTY IS AN ANTI-WHITE RACIST. HIS REMARKS:

"It's easier for most Latin guys and it's easier for most minority people because most of us come from heat," Baker said. "You don't find too many brothers in New Hampshire and Maine and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. ... We were brought over here for the heat, right? Isn't that history? Weren't we brought over because we could take the heat?"

Baker, one of four African-Americans among seven minority managers in the major leagues, agrees. "But as a black manager, I can say things about blacks that a white manager can't say"

SOUNDS PRETTY RACIST TO ME. IF HE WERE A WHITE MANAGER HE WOULD HAVE BEEN FIRED.

You gotta be kidding. The Braves have only won one title in those 12 years. The way I see it, that's only one year of ecstasy. But then again, as a Yankee fan, I'm not satisfied unless my team wins it all. Anything less is utter failure.

Yep, those Astros unis were probably the worst .....followed closely by the late 70's Pirates.

Let's not forget that one game where the White Sox actually wore shorts.
