The Braves
I love baseball. It provides solid sports entertainment for over half the year, is absurdly relaxing and remains one of the best things to fall asleep to. I could take naps to a baseball game for the rest of time. Really, if you put a game on that never ended, I would probably never wake up, except to groggily check the score.
With all that said, here are two comments I feel must be made:
1. It is absolutely devastating that the Braves are no longer on TBS. Devastating! I would go so far as to say criminal. Having the Braves on pretty much nightly was one of the most reliable aspects of sports. You could always count on them. 6:00 on a Wednesday and there is nothing on? Tune to TBS for the Braves. You haven’t seen the Marlins yet this year? Well they are playing the Braves on TBS, check them out. I can’t even recall an era where they weren’t on television constantly. This season is a sad end to an era. Even sadder given that we are now subjected to more Everybody Loves Raymond, which is a waste of everyone’s time everywhere.
2. One of my favorite ideas ever is for an audio option on sporting events where you could simply turn off the announcers. Listening to the sounds of baseball without the annoying prattling of Joe Morgan or whomever would be fantastic. If there is a white noise CD of sounds at a baseball game I need to find and listen to/nap the hell out of it.
