    Well all I have to say is that I hope that they don't move.

    I hope someone buys them. Time Warner is treating the Braves like shit, payroll wise.

    You think that's possible? I know they've had attendance problems, but don't they pretty much rule the Southeast outside of Florida?
    I aim to try

    It might not be possible but that don't stop people from trying. Here is the MLB link to it. Braves going up for sale

    Their attendance isn't great, but they were #15 in the league in attendance, which puts them in the top half of the league. They won't move. Especially if Arthur Blank buys the team. He owns the Falcons. He also is part owner of the spanking new Atlanta Acquarium (larget in the country, and I'm going to it tonight, w00t).

    Sometimes I wish I could live in Atlanta so I could get season tickets but the closest active duty base near Atlanta is Robins AFB and that's about 1 hour and 45 minutes away.

    Shame, really.
