I guess that’s why we are called fans.

Hey, if they can keep their rotation healthy, the hitters have career years, the Mets choke as usual and the Phillies do what all reining World Champs do and struggle, then there is hope.
Alexander Pope once wrote that “Hope springs eternal.”  But for me and Braves baseball Spring hopes are eternal…  summer brings reality.
Go Braves!
