    I didn’t care for the Braves in this era (I was a Cardinals fan), but I did like their broadcasting team, and they weren’t afraid to call out the Braves for sloppy play. They also were very complimentary of opposing teams that played them and said “even though the Braves are playing well, don’t take these games for granted.”

    It sucks that TBS came more of a traditional basic cable network instead of a superstation back in the 2000s. When it was a superstation it was one of the top 5 networks in America because it was both a broadcast network in Atlanta and a cable network in the rest of the network like WGN Superstation was before it became WGN America. It was so cool to follow one baseball team on a big network all season long. TBS was better off keeping the Braves games instead of broadcasting the whole league during the regular season. TBS should really think about investing back into Braves baseball it would be huge for their network. It sucks too that we don't have the Cubs on WGN nationwide anymore or the Mets on WWOR. Everything is on cable exclusively and that sucks. We were lucky to be around back in the 90s.
