Welcome back Coghlan and your awful, terrible, no good song! Please stop being as bad a baseball player as your song is.

Hammel rhymes with mammal.

"Hammel the mammal" nickname really should be a thing.

I will be in Atlanta to attend the games today and tomorrow with my wife and 4 year old. Driving north now!

 

Edit- actually my wife is driving while i pretend to work on the iPad.

it's an artistic interpretation of 69

None of this 2 out of 3 crap. We've only had 1 sweep in our last 9 series (since the 4 game sweep of Washington). Time to put the hammer down on a crappy team that wants to lose anyways.

I look at it as being merciful to the wretched; these terrible teams have so little to live for, so they can look back fondly on the time they managed to beat the mighty Cubs. What else do they have?

[Omar]

Braves specifically? they have that new ballpark opening up because 19 years was just too much for Turner

 

decent little cookie cutter

[Sammy Sofa]

In the middle of the forest, apparently.

I don't know how annoying they are in Georgia but all I can think of when seeing that picture is the mosquitos that would decend upon that stadium.

[UMFan83]

Don't even get me started on the Braves new park. They are closing a perfectly good ballpark and wasting $400 million of public money on a mediocre looking stadium (that looks a lot like Turner Field) because the demographics are better (read: more white people).

 

I wish there was a way you could airlift the ballpark to a market that needs a new one like Tampa or Oakland.

I am assuming this is after a certain point in the season because the biggest would have to be 1.000 as I'm sure a 3-0 team has played an 0-3 team at some point

the only sub-par ballparks left in the majors

 

Do the Braves really expect more attendance in the suburbs?

No they simply were able to steal the most taxpayer money moving there

Fulton county (where Atlanta is) has like 990,000 people, Cobb county has 730,000 people, but Cobb County actually has a higher population density. You take that plus a more affluent demographic and I'm sure they expect the move have a positive effect, at least in terms of revenue (higher ticket prices, more suites, etc), if not attendance as well

Yeah, I'm sure 'the demographics are better' or whatever nonsense is a selling point, but bottom line if Fulton County had handed them $400M they'd have built the stadium in Fulton County

The Cubs are -600 on Bovada tonight, you have to be an insane person to bet 6/1 on an individual MLB game.
