On September 12, 2011, I was at a sports bar for Monday Night Football. No baseball was there to be seen. I craned my neck to see the MLB scores. “I’m trying to see how the Braves did.” I told my friends. “Ah, the Braves are making the playoffs,” they said. “I wouldn’t worry about it,” they said. Sure, that year was hard to take. The way they just fell apart down the stretch, this game that the Cardinals won by scoring two runs in the ninth by not hitting the ball out of the infield, everything about that late September.
Dear Braves, please bury 2011
