Braves are a great story. I have no use for the city therefore don't like the teams from there.

Edit: Not that I like LA either it is a trash city, but I love the old school Brooklyn Dodgers logos.

What's wrong with the city of Atlanta?

What's wrong with the city of Atlanta?

Umm Can I say it is the home of CNN's headquarters?

In reality it is just a weird personal issue. I have done a conference there for three summers. I end up at the Marriott Marquis beautiful hotel, I love Piedmont Park. However, every time I step out of the hotel there is a guy yelling at me to hold up because they want to show me something. This happens multiple times in one outing and it is such a bizarre and frustrating behavior. During my time when the person has caught up to show me something they have tried to sell me an open disposable camera for $20, a loose cigarette for a $1, a five pack of Coca Cola for $5, and a 1990s gameboy for $100, among various other miscellaneous items. I have also been propositioned to help a stranger tag team a pair of girls the next block over and once a guy that told me his sister thought I was attractive and wanted to hookup with me. While this behavior might not be unique to Atlanta it is the only city I have been to an experienced such annoying and odd requests.

Lol...wtf. Overall Atlanta is an overrated city. But I love the new Braves complex. Great field and fan experience. Turner field was kinda a dump

I only have been once for a couple days. But overrated was exactly the word I would use to describe it. I found the city rather boring. There isn't shit to do downtown.

Homeless people in Atlanta are different than any other city I've ever been to. I had multiple people follow me for blocks and they kept talking and talking like we were friends. It was very unique experience to say the least. They were all friendly but being followed by anyone is always weird.

Astros - Braves is my pick.

Although, it will likely be the Dodgers.

Dodgers are fucking loaded. They can easily reel off the next 4, but winning game is 1 huge.

Clayton Kershaw has been scratched from his NLCS Game 2 start against the Braves on Tuesday due to back spasms.

Huge news for the Dodgers. No word yet on if Kershaw is simply being pushed back a day or two, but one would think it would take something rather problematic to force him from making a postseason start. Tony Gonsolin will make the start in his place on Tuesday.

!!!!!I just read about Kershaw missing the start. You gotta wonder how serious the issue is for all things considered. Huge advantage for Atlanta. TB and Atlanta off to great starts in these series.

I thought Betts was the missing piece to the puzzle?
