Did you all even see that ESPN–the network of men and women who know sooooo much about sports–had the Atlanta Braves as the top team in baseball after their 5-1 start heading home to take on the 5-1 Marlins.
Uh oh. Since then, we’ve witnessed some of the worst baseball for this organization since the 1980s—and what difficult years they were.
The Braves found out that the Marlins may be the best team in baseball and that Chipper Jones and Yunel Escobar to bring good at-bats each night, so if they aren’t playing the team will struggle.
Blayne Boyer is finally gone, thank God. There is no reason he remained on the team this long. But, the ridiculous decision-making of Bobby Cox went to new heights when he called up Jo-Jo Reyes to replace Tom Glavine over phenom Tommy Hanson or even Charlie Morton.
The Braves aren’t the best team in baseball, folks. Sorry to disappoint. This very well could be a painful, painful season.
