One night I just got tired of the arrogance, vitriol, ego and stupidity and told him how I felt. Same thing happened, now that I think about it, with the ex-Mrs. Gov.).
I became a Braves fan in Richmond in 1970 when my dad took me to see the R-Braves and I saw Ralph Garr and Dusty Baker on the way up. Superstation helped in SoFlorida before they (sort of) got ML baseball.
I love a 1-0 game that takes an hour and forty-one minutes and have been blessed to pull for what must be the greatest pitching franchise in history. I've passed that along to 11 yo LilGuv, who may be good enough to have a post high school future.
I can't believe how successful we've been at developing pitching since Schuerholz retired but am wondering who angered the baseball Gods after four all-star caliber starters (Hanson, Jurrjens, Medlen, Beachy)flamed out early.
Edit: The new Mrs. Gov wants me to point out that I'm now happily married to a hot redhead who is acquiring a deep appreciation of baseball. Which is true.
