It will be a sad day when I turn to TBS and find no Braves to be watched. That's what I read today on the Braves website just minutes ago. TBS is dropping the Braves for the Divisional Series and like 26 Sunday games in 07.
I know my family will be devasted. That's something that all of us have in common. After a trip to Atlanta in 91, my mom became hooked. She could tell you things about the Braves, that would make Bobby Cox check his diary.
I can only hope that another station tries to pick up the Braves for at least some of their games. We know ESPN and Fox can't do it. They will be too busy showing New York and Boston.
So heres to all the good times seen on TBS. Here's to the Dale Murphy's and the Terry Pendleton's. The Otis Nixon's and the Deion's. The Francisco Cabera's and the Sid Bream's. To the Ace's...Greg Maddux, Phil Niekro, John Smoltz, Tom Glavine. To the now...Chipper and Andruw Jones. To the future...Jeff Francoeur and Brian McCann. Hopefully we will get to see you again sometime.
I'm not trying to be a sports writer. I just want to share some different views with you.
Sid Bream sliding into home may be my favorite sports memories.
