    Our newest farm club has a name.

    To my chagrin and central Florida's eternal shame, the Braves' Florida State League entry in Kissimmee will be called ... the Florida Fire Frogs.

    IDK... I like it. It definitely beats any minor league team named the Braves. The campier the better.

    The Braves team below should be named the Frying Pan Frogs. That way, when a player is promoted, he could be out of the pan and into the fire!

    Me too - but UGH!
    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?

    That was really quick with Carolina.

    I mean I remember them not too long ago bringing Hart, JS, and Fredi to the announcement.
    Forever Fredi

    No, their stadium is about 40 miles from Clermont (in the odd event that anyone else knows where that is). The only reason I even have that clue is that that's where my brother's house is.

    I'm going to be in Orlando/Disney for a Star Wars convention in April. Maybe I'll take one night to check out the team if they are at home.

    They are at the Astros old spring home in Kissimmee, which is about 12 miles from Disney at the other end of that gawdawful road of tourist traps. It is right off the toll road parkway, however, easy to get to from just about any direction.
