Overall, the Braves were a bust this weekend. After such a hot streak and being labeled the "best team is baseball," it could almost be assumed they'd sweep the Pirates in their four game series this weekend. Thursday night, which I didn't get to watch, was a win as expected. But from there on nothing quite went as expected for the Braves.
I sat in Elephant and Castle on Friday as I watched them play a pitiful game against the Pirates. The only highlight was BJ Upton cussing out the umpire on national tv (which later got blurred out when replayed). But, hey, I found my new favorite player since Chipper retired.
Saturday, when actually going to the game, it was cold. However, I figured, last night was a fluke, at least it'll be worth sitting in the cold for the win. And what happens? Another loss. At least I got a McCutcheon bobble head, right?
Sunday was yet another loss, which I could hardly believe. The best team in baseball just lost 3 of 4 to the Pittsburgh Pirates? Impossible.
But let's look at the bright side - the Pirates just beat the best team in baseball 3 times in a row. As my back up team, it is slightly exciting to see they're on the uprise and CAN play baseball.
