Took the family to enjoy some minor league baseball last night. Saw our Hometown Heros put a beating on the future of the Atlanta Braves, the Richmond (VA) Braves. As a Brave hater, it was nice to see how horribe the Future Atlanta Braves may end up. There were 3 errors made, that all led to runs scored, buy not catching simple fly balls. One was a foul pop between first and home, but much closer to home, that the idiot pitcher tried to catch. He ran into the catcher, who was also trying to catch the ball, and it bounced off the pitcher's glove when he collided with the catcher. Some coach needs to teach that guy that pitchers are only supposed to pitch, and only field batted balls that are hit directly at their heads.Like I said, was nice to see the future Braves playing like little leaguers.

He and I take my boys to a hand full of games every season now. It will likely pick up when they are school aged, and understand what's going on a bit better.
And arodtoo, I think what really happened last night was 3 errors on a night when 3 guys decided to play poorly. Coupled with a poor start by McConnell (4-8) and relief arrearance by Curtis. And I agree that Ted likely sold his soul. His reward is 63 straight NL East championships, and Jane Fonda!

Yes Jetpac, Mickey is in Columbus. He went 2-4 with a run and an RBI. The local paper had the Clipps stats in the paper yesterday, but I never looked at them, so I can't tell you what kind of season he's having. I always check to see if they've won or lost every day, but I don't follow the individuals very close. Back in the early to mid 80's I followed pretty close, when Righetti, Mattingly, Balboni.... were here winning championships. My Dad and I went to probably 25+ games per season back then.He and I take my boys to a hand full of games every season now.
