    Let me preface this post by saying this is NOT directed at anyone here, but if this season accomplishes one thing, perhaps the bandwagon fans will be gone for the rest of the year.

    The key question is how close the fall in revenue will be to what they estimated. I think there will be some downside surprises and it will affect payroll in 2016.

    I'm just shocked at how poor the top 2 starting pitches have been this esason. Braves could be 3-4 games over 500 with expected performance out of them.

    I guess I'm so good with ye olde double entendre that I don't even realize I've written one. Nice catch.

    Playing through injuries will lead to poor performances. And Wood was good before last night. Bad outtings happen but Julio needs his start skipped at the least.

    I don't know if I would say Wood was good prior to last night. He hasn't met expectations and certainly hasn't exceeded them.

    He had a 3.00 ERA entering last night game. He certainly wasn't bad.

    If our attendance do not rise in the summer, I am afraid to say, kiss those expensive targets goodbye. Liberty has already proven they are not going to spend money after the bLowe, Kawakami, BJ Upton, strUggla (not against the Braves) fiasco.

    i can't help but to think many folks inside the city will be done with the braves forever. there are just so many reasons to hate this organization right now, it's not even funny. and that's from somebody that thought trading heyward away was awesome...
