I mean they won just two years ago, but let’s not let facts get in the way of dissing on the Braves

I’m all for dissing on the Braves. Remarkable they have only won two World Series in the last 30 years.

I know , but I've got battered braves syndrome just like my battered Vols syndrome sometimes.

 

[joevol33]

I do miss following it like I used to. I'd drive from Kentucky to Atlanta to just watch a game. I haven't been to the new stadium, or a game in several years.

The two aren’t remotely the same. The Braves have been dominant for like 28 of 33 years, just not winning championships. If anything, they more resemble Tiffany’s college team. Btw, definitely praying for her.

That’s how I meant it. If it means bashing the Braves, let’s do it

My buddy from Minnesota is a huge Twins fan but now lives in ATL and has become a Braves second team follower. Been a good run so far the last few years for the Braves.

The Twins won the 1987 and 1991 World Series. Both Series went 7 games.

Oakland is in California.

****ing Braves

 

[volfanbill]

I was able to get past the Nike swoosh I on the jerseys, but that giant Quikrete logo is just unbearable to look at.

****ing Braves

 

[volfanbill]

Here’s the thing: since the Braves started their first run in 1991, only 17 teams have won a WS. That’s 13 teams that haven’t even won once. Only three teams have won more WSs in that span than the Braves (Yankees with 5, Red Sox with 4, and the Giants with 3). 4 other teams have also won twice (Astros, Cardinals, Marlins, and Blue Jays).

That said, F*** them Braves

 

[volfanbill]

Crazy

 

[volfanbill]

Also, shoutout for the Braves having Jason Isbell throw out the first pitch

Split in Philly then win in 5.

 

[volfanbill]

@Toucan Sam the Braves completed a remarkable comeback to win game 2 after an incredible leaping catch against the fence followed by a heads up throw to get Harper out at first.

That would put game 5 in A_l_n_a?
