And Bloor, you right on the Bravos I guess, but even when Schuerholz was bringing those dudes in, it was more a "plug a hole with talent" deal than a "Buy the best player available and everything will be OK deal."
oh absolutely. I mean who the fuck was coming to the Braves in 1991? Its not like any of those dudes that were brought in were world beaters.
Even after two straight trips to the World Series, it was still HUGE news that Maddux came here in 1993 over the Yankees.
Which is why I still maintain that the Braves died a little bit the minute they traded Justice and Grissom for Kenny Lofton (who only stayed one year because he is the one guy in history who hated playing for Bobby).[/quote]
Yeah, Justice was a huge part of the team's heart. I hold that BASEBALL died the minute Glavine suited up for the Mets, but that's me...my grandfather would have held that it was when The Dodgers left Brooklyn.
