Home Opener
Of course, it doesn’t do you much good when your new, big-money, hot-shot ace has to sit after 3.0 thanks to a two-hour rain delay.
It was great to see an almost–thanks surely to the forecast–full Turner Field with a crowd of folks (at least the 30% not stuck in ridiculous beer lines) ready to be excited about Braves baseball again. The best part of the evening was when the relievers involved in Thursday night’s 6-walk, 8-run, rollover-and-die inning were all booed when the roster was read as part of the opening night festivities.
It wasn’t as funny when the relievers tried to pull the same thing last night.
This was not the kind of win I want to see very often. (And I didn’t actually get to see the win part since we had to leave at 1am in order to make the last MARTA train.) But if this was last year, with the weird Nationals curse and the boring 1-run game thing, we’d surely have been in the loss column.
