goodbye Marlins, hello Braves
this is weird: a post not about baby stuff.
I grew up in south FL, and I like watching baseball, so I've been a Marlins fan since they started back when I was in high school. of course I've been out of FL for about 10 years, but it's still fun to follow the team, and they've made it fun by winning 2 world series already. but now they've gone and tossed out all their good players. I understand that they needed to cut costs, but if they dont care about putting a good team on the field, I have a hard time rooting for them. and they say they're going to move to Vegas or somewhere soon.
this part of the country is now home, so I guess that makes me a Braves fan now. I really respect their organization, and they always put a good team on the field (plus they're always on TV around here, so it makes it easy to catch a game).
feel free to question my loyalty and my faith if you feel so led, but only over a beer down at the Hair of the Dog.

I hear you. The rational side of me would join you, but I think they must brainwash Chicago residents because it hurts to contemplate changing allegiances.
Perhaps we can attend a Cubbie-Brave game this year.
