atlanta believe bobby braves childhood dream fan few grew hard hours legendary manager south traded
When I was traded from the Oakland A's to the Atlanta Braves before the 2005 season, a childhood dream was realized. I grew up a Braves fan just a few hours south of Atlanta, and it was hard for me to believe that I was going to actually play for the Atlanta Braves and legendary manager Bobby Cox.
believe braves cheer close encourage fans field goes players rough turn
Braves fans are one-of-a-kind. Your passion to win comes close to equaling that of the players that go out on the field each and every game. But when the team goes through rough patches, you're there to encourage and cheer and believe that things will turn around.

Everybody knows him as pretty easy going and a practical joker when he was a player. I think it will be a little more fun in the bullpen area. It's going to be about learning how to pitch and having fun while you're doing it, not so much walking on eggshells down there.

Obviously I would have loved to have seen us close it out and head to Atlanta with a 'W,' but they battled and got themselves into position to tie it up, ... After that, I was a spectator in here rooting guys on. You've got to tip your hat to all our guys in the bullpen. They've taken a lot of heat all year. Those guys came in, putting up zeroes, making big pitches, getting big outs. Going 18 innings, I have a lot of respect for those guys. They went out and battled, but they just outlasted us.

Obviously coming out in the fifth inning is not what you want. I threw the ball alright. i got some pitches up in the zone and they took advantage of it.

I think home a week, gone a week is a good breakup of the schedule. What's going to stink is we're only home for five days. You kind of wear it when the schedule isn't in your favor.
