Atlanta Braves: No Longer America's Team

Last year, TBS dropped the Atlanta Braves from its usually annual schedule. Thus ending a 20-some-odd year run for Braves TBS baseball.

As a Braves fan living in New Jersey, I was devastated. Sure, I understand ratings weren't so great, but believe it or not, Ted Turner, some people that don't live in the South do watch the Braves.

He has now left us Braves fans wondering, how can I watch my Braves games every day???

Sure, I can order the baseball package from my cable company, but why do I want to pay for all the other teams’ games as well?

In my eyes, Ted Turner is a loser and they should rename the stadium so that we don't have to be reminded of what a dick he was to the organization. He gave the Braves less money to work with, costing them talent and championships. Honestly, he doesn't even own the team anymore...so why do they have to play in HIS stadium?

Today, I watched the Braves-Dodgers game on TBS because it was the "best game of Sunday." So, anyway it has Mark Fein, an old Braves TBS commentator who they kept and then they paired him with a Mets commentator.

Does anyone else see something wrong with this picture? A Braves commentator paired up with a Mets commentator? Rival vs. rival in a Braves-Dodgers game I mean come on.

The least TBS could have done was to pair Fein with one of the Dodgers’ usual commentators. Nothing TBS does makes sense, but the reality is Braves baseball on TBS is over and after 20 years I have to say why would you break that up after such a long and great relationship??? 

’Till next time,

Go Braves
