People will accuse me of being a "johnny come lately" when I say I am a Braves fan. My response to them is that I can remember the days when every time they went to NY or LA it was to get their ass kicked.

Went to the 1 PM Yankees Bosox game on Sunday and had one of New Yorks finest get us some great seats. Boston beat Yankees both games. They looked good. It was a fun day out for my sons and I.

A few years back when we had just moved to NY and my first son was just a baby we went to a Yankees Braves game. I wore my Braves cap. Braves lost and on our way out of the stadium some fans saw my cap and started chanting "Braves suck". Well pretty soon a couple of thousand of people are chanting this as my wife, my young son and myself try and make a speedy exit from Yankee stadium. I knew the fans were just poking fun but it was a bit intimidating.
