Anyone curious why Octavio Dotel didn't get a song? Oh that's right, he's not white and pitching in Atlanta...

Filed under: Atlanta, Braves, NL East, MLB VideoSure, it may be a difficult spell. (Do the I's come before the E's? I always have to look this up.) But, as these two Braves fans make very melodically clear, Mark Teixeira can be rhymed with just about any word in the English language.

@curlygc: On one hand the police did beat the living shit out of Rodney King. Who knows if he was coked up and "bringin' it" as the LAPD claimed. Still, this is no reason to hit Reginald Denny in the head with a brick, though.

@The Gentleman Masher: True. BC football is largely ignored in Boston, but not because of apathy, more because of a glut of pro sports.

As for Man City, apparently a deposed Thai president was all we needed to start playing real football. I can't tell you how nice it is to see some real skill play in attacking rather than the Stuart Pierce clutch-and-grab defensive style.

We cool now?

The "Braves don't sell out" line just happens to be a pet peeve of mine. Neither does Boston College football...but I don't constantly point it out, and it isn't harped on in the mainstream media either.

Anyway - I apologize for my knee-jerk response. Your Man City avatar clearly shows that you are not a Feminine Hygiene Product...just a glutton for punishment!

@The Gentleman Masher: Excuse me, I form my own opinions about sports teams. My Atlanta joke was based on the Braves-Yankees game I saw in ATL at the start of interleague play, when they Yankees, mid-dynasty, were the biggest draw in MLB and interleague play was still novel. I was expecting to see a packed stadium, especially with Roger Clemens pitching, but instead it was about 2/3rds full and apathetic.

@TastesLikeBurning: Actually a reference to a Conan O'Brien SNL skit.

I just find it amusing - as much as the mainstream media gets lambasted on here - how many people on this board are still brainwashed by ESPN, Fox Sports, etc.

So, when someone makes the kind of joke Joe Buck might make, I'm more or less inclined to say something heated.

@Lady Andrea: Well, he's a hack, if nothing else.

As far as I know - not many MLB teams can claim X number of sell-outs in a row. Maybe the Red Sox, in their miniscule stadium, or the Cubs, where the fans stopped caring if the home team won about 30 years ago.

Either way, I've got this dead horse over here...if Chilltown would like to beat it for fun, I'll let him. He seems to be into that sort of thing.

Last I checked the Braves were going to draw over 3 million fans this year.

This website also had Bin Laden rooting for Iraq, so really... the editor either doesn't know what he's talking about on one or two or all of the issues...

Or he's pushing some agenda.
