There is no question The Ted should have lasted another 10-20 seasons, but if Suntrust lets us have a bigger player payroll then so be it.

Mixed feelings about it all.
Some good and awful memories from a baseball standpoint. Getting to the World Series in 99. The young guys coming up in 05. Heyward's homer in his first at bat, though the vision of him becoming the face of the franchise was never realized.
But then, it was mostly disappointment. We had to watch the Marlins, Padres, Cardinals, Dbacks, Giants, CUBS, Astros, Giants and Cardinals again end celebrate on our field and the embarrassment of Atlanta fans throwing **** on the field on the outfield fly rule call.
But I think the main memories I'll take away from it are the times at the park with my dad. We went to the very first one, the exhibition against the Yankees. NLCS game 2 in 97, NLDS game 2 in 98, World Series game 2 in 99. The last time we made it there was Father's Day 2014. Got to see Mike Trout and Albert Pujols, two future Hall of Famers and enjoy a Sunday night win.
I'm just old enough to remember the last two seasons at Fulton County Stadium, so I grew up with Turner Field. It was an excellent place to watch a ballgame, and it's still a shame there was a lack of vision from all angles to keep it going. I hope Georgia State will do well by it.
I look forward to the franchise hopefully becoming a dominant force in the new park. I hope the results are better than the pre-planning that has led to it.

Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

One of my favorite moments was Brooks Conrad hitting a very surprising walk-off Grand Slam against the Reds when the Braves scored 7 or 8 in the 9th inning to win.
