I think Giants starting pitching gave up 4 runs the entire series and 3 were in one inning against Bum. That's fairly good. But yeah it was al Nats mistakes

All fanbases have issues, STL seems to have a higher percentage of morans. There are some great knowledgeable baseball fans. A group welcomed me over for dinner, and really wanted to know more about the Cubs kids coming up. Bought rounds etc...
Last month I was down there, the family of 4 behind me was talking about the Cubs players. The little kid behind me asked him mom if all the Cubs were black? Simple question with all the race issues in St. Louis recently. The mom's answer, "well there is a Chinaman pitching, the guy right there (Soler) is from Cuba, I think the rest are Mexican." Good job ma, keep fucking that chicken.

I am Packfan on this. Most of my Cardinal friends are extremely knowledgeable. I just think it's the "best fans in baseball" mantra that unfortunately sets a high bar that your average and definitely below average intelligence/class fans betray on a startlingly regular basis.
To be fair that guy is kind of a douche. Love the typo riddled hate mail though.
Makes you wonder what perks the city's giving them for fronting that money.
Comparing the new Cubs and Braves stadiums. The second line is public financing

The ump in this Orioles-Royals game has been pretty questionable. Inconsistent at best.

Well, this makes a bit more sense.

Aaannnnd this ump strikes again. Good call at 2nd -- he came off the base. But that 3rd strike call was awful.
I hit on the theme of karma a little bit this morning. A more direct example of it can be seen in Cobb County, Georgia in connection with the Braves moving up there in 2017.
Yesterday we saw that the county commissioner, Tim Lee, was cagey and defensive when asked about the details of the negotiations which ultimately led to the Braves moving north. Specifically, how he may have broken the law when he hired a lawyer to work on the deal that moved the team to Cobb County and that now he appears to be trying to avoid any questioning about it. Turns out it’s even more delicious than that.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Lee apparently hired this bond lawyer and then tried to keep it and anything else about the Braves negotiations out of the public record by using private email addresses rather than public ones. Then, I assume because he knew that hiring the bond lawyer like this was illegal, he proceeded as if the lawyer wasn’t really hired, made it clear he wasn’t going to pay the lawyer and was not at all prepared to have the lawyer officially and properly hired once the project became public. Indeed, his statements yesterday were adamant about how the lawyer was not paid, would not be paid and had no expectation of payment.
Except the lawyer, apparently, didn’t feel that way. According to the AJC, he most certainly wanted to be paid — or, at the very least, wanted and expected to get the work that spun out of the Braves stadium project — and when Commissioner Lee kept stonewalling him, the lawyer did something that was simply elegant: he sent an email to the commissioner. To his public email address. Providing a clear paper trail that, contrary to Lee’s denials, shows that he did illegally hire the lawyer and that he is a mendacious jackwagon. The lawyer, I am certain, knew what he was doing.
The big lesson here: public officials should never break the law and should never try to hide their official acts from public scrutiny.
The second biggest lesson: publicly-financed stadium deals are almost, by definition, invitations to corruption.
The more subtle, but more useful lesson: never, ever try to double-cross a lawyer.
Actually it impacts me personally so I fucking care. Having a shitty office in Cobb County is my complaint.
It has little to do with the Braves, stadium financing intrigues me. United Center which was paid for privately compared to US Cellular Field which is still being paid off 20+ years later. More recently Soldier Field is going to cost Chicagoans almost a billion dollars, while Wrigley's remodel won't cost me a dime.
It has nothing to do with the Braves imo, the corruption and illegal activities in Cobb County will probably end up in jail time.

This is the quintessential braves fan post

Extremely defensive and has no ties to the Barves. The no ties thing happens with a lot of teams, but it seems like their whole fan base is outside of Cobb County

Not extremely defensive. After the 10th time it just gets old. It's almost as bad as attendance smack.
