So, how's this little experiment going?

Anyway, I'm hoping that this blog will help me be a better Braves fan, or at least make me feel worse about being a bad one.

Am I a better Braves fan? Well, let's see...

Number of Braves games attended: Zero. Way to go, me. The sad thing is that if the Devil Rays weren't on the road this weekend, my first live game this year would have been at the Trop.

(Actually, I was pretty upset when my sister, who I am visiting in Tampa, told me that the D-Rays are going to be in Chicago this weekend playing the White Sox. So upset that I sent her a text message of Elijah Dukes' handgun and left her an angry voicemail. What can I say, I wasn't bullshittin'.)

I have been watching more Braves games on TBS, and on MLB.TV when my roommate is sating his passion for the History Channel (by the way, I will give my credit card information away to anyone besides my roommate who watched "Siberian Apocalypse" last Sunday night).

Did I ever get that Brian McCann jersey? Hell no. I did, however, get a Mike Hampton-themed T-shirt from The Dugout, and two weeks later Mike was out for the season.

God forbid I should buy Brian's jersey, and three days later the ring finger on his catching hand should fall off. That would not be good for anybody. McCann would be out for the season, and Antonio Alfonseca would be jealous.

Did I ever figure out who the fuck is Scott Thorman? Why yes. Yes I did. He's the black guy, right?

The verdict? One out of three is still bad. My blog gets to keep its name.

Which is good, since it's on all my stationery.
