The hits just keep on coming for the Braves. Well, I mean, not on the field.

Here’s how sick, I, at least, believe their “plan” should make fellow core fans:

The point is to sell the team as soon as they move to the new stadium and “make” as much money as they can until then. With a new stadium, they will be sold for close to $1 billion. That is the only plan.

I watched this game last night. It took me a while to understand this particular quote. What he is saying is that he thought pinch hitting for Chacin with a runner in scoring position gave the Braves the best chance to score, and, thus, win. And he made this move because they REALLY needed a win. However, if they were

They are clearly overvalued. As a class, executives are not worth what they're paid

It’s Atlanta. There is absolutely no scenario where “the traffic won’t really be that bad.”

What’s the overall plan here by the Braves? To further alienate their current core fans so that when they move to Cobb County the traffic won’t really be that bad?

I don’t quite understand the ongoing obsession with a manual. It’s 2016, a time when automatics drive better and faster than manuals. A time when even Lamborghini and Ferrari offer automatics. The only surviving plausible reason for liking a manual is “feel for the road”, in which case, you should just go with a

The only aliens allowed at Augusta are the grounds crew.

wow. Over a fender bender. Guns make all situations more dangerous. Sad.

Nothing says Jesus like getting a plug in for your brand, then having one of family members shit out the national anthem

Duck Dynasty and NASCAR all in one spot? Was anyone in the crowd not related to each other?

“Skipper Bruce Bochy should find a way to get this guy more at-bats.”

There are too many kinds of New York media, despite the fact that it is not nearly as large as China. Confusing.

Actually that’s just the thing, he DOESN’T know how business works. He’s been through multiple bankruptcies shouldered by we the people. He was born wealthier than any of us can imagine has no concept of the common man and clearly not that much brains in that with a $100 million inheritance he lost it in bad deals.

This. And, in any event, these guys seem to be “old-school, play-the-game-the-right way purists” only when it suits them. Bautista bat flip is ok - hey, it’s my culture! - but some namby-pamby paean to player safety is not?

Everybody bitched about the Buster Posey rule too, because why even play baseball if you can’t lower your shoulder and try to end a catcher’s career if the throw to the plate beats you? But it seems like everyone’s come around on that one. I suspect eventually they’ll come around on this too.

After seeing Tejada and Kang get their legs snapped last season, I’m okay with the rule. Screw unwritten rules and “playing the game the right way.”

Worse than the “wait until your phone is out to talk” is the “wait until you are almost asleep to bring up major decisions” move. If I am in a bed with my eyes closed, it is not the time to discuss mortgages, career changes, children, etc. Are you an insane person?
