Ladies and Gentlemen, its about that time. No, not the Final Four being set, which is great in itself. First time ever four #1 seeds have reached the Final Four. But I digress. Its Opening Night for Major League Baseball, and our beloved Braves our opening up the season with a game vs. the Nationals in their new home ballpark. Something about the opening of the season that brings out the all things good. Its springtime, a time for the rebirth of nature and a time to get outside and enjoy the warmer weather and all it has to offer. And accordingly, the marathon of the baseball season begins.
This year, the Braves have been picked by numerous experts in their preseason picks to win the World Series. As a native Atlantan and lifetime Bravos diehard, I am very excited about the possibilities the 2008 season brings. I won't bore all four of you that read this with details about the team (yet), but I will say that that the next six months, I will be consumed with the Bravos and will be posting regularly about the games. New unis this year, new hope for a championship. And I am not the only baseball junkie who feels great about the Braves. So here's to a great season.... Go Bravos. More updates during the game tonight.....
4th inning, Chipper just went yard. Nice start to his season. And as much as I support GW, he is possibly the worst booth guest in the history of ESPN. He gives 2 word answers to every question and sounds like he has no clue about baseball, even if he was once the owner of the Texas Rangers back in the day. Geez... "Mr. President, what do you think of the new stadium?"
"Its nice."
Mr. President, how do you feel about the Mitchell Report about steroids?..."
"Its a start." Anything else, sir? Would you like to elaborate? Please????

I hope the Braves have a good year too. They looked a little nervous the first few innings. Brian McCan is a great hitter but I think he runs 14.5 second 40.
you aren't going to like my latest post Josh.
