I don’t think organists are going to play It’s A Small World or I’m a little teapot any more when the astros are visiting if it makes Altuve hit HRs.

Re: How about those Braves?
After watching the Giants post the best record in baseball, only to be beaten by the team with the second best record in a 5 game series...the Braves weren't over .500 until August 4th. Congrats for taking out the Astros, though. I'm hoping their cheating gives them something of a Ruthian curse.

I enjoyed watching them win. I have had a soft spot for the Braves for many years now.

When talking about the Braves, gotta give props to the Maddux-Smoltz-Glavine rotation. One of the all-time best.

And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

The franchise owes those dudes for creating a brand that will last for generations. However, those three were not as good as these three....
......... Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain and Madison Bumgarner. Tim, Matt and Madison shook up baseball. They all owe a lot to their game caller, who retired today.

Let's go GIANTS!
Although congrats to the Braves. They caught fire at the right time.

It is not racist. Some native Americans may feel the team uses an image they do not really own or have a right to. Different people may feel differently about that. Spokane Washington baseball team is called the Spokane Indians. Some people have complained. The team has conferred with leaders of the Spokane Indian tribe who have stated the use of the name is fine with them.ajax18 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 05, 2021 12:08 amEven though they refuse to change that racist mascot?Some Schmo wrote: ↑Thu Nov 04, 2021 3:46 amI enjoyed watching them win.

Perhaps some future group of Spokane Indians will feel differently , or perhaps not.
