The Braves franchise has actually been involved with seven 4-homer games. If my count is correct, there is not another franchise that has been involved with more than 4 in their history. In fact, the Braves have hit a 4-homer game for each of their home cities (Boston, Milwaukee, and Atlanta) and also given up a 4-homer game while located in each of those cities. The franchise hit the major’s first official 4-homer game by Bobby Lowe playing for what was known as the Boston Beaneaters at that time in 1894. From that year up until April of 2002 (nearly 108 years) there were only 12 occurrences but over the past 23 years there have been 9 such games…

You have to ask yourself this question:

If Micah Parsons is that great then why didn’t he perform better in the playoffs to help get his team to at least the NFC Championship? Only 1 sack in 4 postseason games. Reggie White had 12 postseason sacks. In 1996 whenever the Packers won the Super Bowl he was the leader of the number 1 defense that set a record for fewest touchdowns allowed during a 16-game season. If you are THAT GUY then your team success would be better and would play in a championship game at the very least. All these new age guys want to stat pad and everyone thinks they are great but whenever winning is brought up they either get really quiet or make excuses.

Oh man the Padres manager ejection was one of the funniest I’ve seen. He was so polite and literally asked to be thrown out of the game lol. I would post but Manny Machado was throwing around the F bomb like it was the only word in his vocabulary 😂

You know by rule when you get to be Jerry's age he has the rite to say wtf he wants because he has survived over 80 years... My mom does it now at 70 years of age. I've heard her comment on stuff she never would've 20 years ago.

I think he said all the right things. This is the first time in a long time I’ve been on Jerry’s side on any situation. He said he does pay his players and he is right on the money. He often treats them like his adopted sons. Honestly he might be a little too player friendly imo.

One thing not mentioned is the fact Micah Parsons requested the trade. There should be a rule where if you get traded because you requested it then you should be required to purchase all the inventory of your jerseys from the previous team.
