re: Braves @ Astros World Series Game 1

What a fricking start!!

The Braves are the Souths team. Period. If you live in GA, Tennessee, NC, SC, Alabama, Miss, and even Arkansas - you should be a Braves fan. This title could bring the whole rant together like we have never seen. GO BRAVES!

There are plenty Braves fans in Louisiana as well, at least SE Louisiana. I've been a full time Braves fan since I was 9. The '95 WS was the first series I can remember watching the whole thing. I recall little blurbs prior to that, i.e., when I was 6 my grandpa told me, "pull for the Braves, frick Canada!"

My dad grew up in Queens after immigrating from Europe as a young boy. So he's a Mets fan. It was fun growing up with that rivalry in the house. We go to a Mets @ Braves series together usually every other summer. And we have a pact to pull for each other's team in the postseason if ours isn't in it. I still can't get him to do the chop though.
