Amazed at how much this was a feature of fan participation. Even the woolly liberal friends we were with joined in at every opportunity. Apparently the Braves have a very positive and ongoing dialogue with local tribal leaders. I suspect it goes something like “please stop demeaning our culture” followed by “we hear you, we understand how you find it offensive but we are not going to change”. Part of their argument seems to be that they put up a plaque “honouring” the Cherokee tribe. Yep, that’ll do it. A token plaque. Absolutely baffling to me as an outsider.

Nor-Cal Villan Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) Blake Snell of my Giants threw a no-hitter tonight and made it look easy! He’s been on a roll over his last 4-5 starts after coming off the Injured List. Looking every bit like the ace he’s paid to be Edited August 4 by Nor-Cal Villan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor-Cal Villan Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 No one cares, but holy crap, this Braves-Mets game 1 of doubleheader has been absolutely insane . The 8th inning alone had had do much drama and so many shifts in momentum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
