Too bad your Georgia team lost. Congrats to the Braves! We actually saw some of the game in a sports bar here in Victoria. I've been dragged into watching the baseball playoffs, because my sister Donnie, her husband Martin, and their adult kids are ardent fans of all things sports ~ and right now, they're living and dying over the Blue Jays! It was the Dicken's quote that grabbed me ~ thought you were going somewhere else! Have a good one!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-51462954945638791762016-10-03T20:41:49.347-04:002016-10-03T20:41:49.347-04:00At one time in my life, sports was very important ...At one time in my life, sports was very important to me. When I took a creative writing class in college, the main thing that I wrote about was sports!

But Atlanta played better than we did and we lost the last two games killing our hopes for a wild card slot. I am looking forward to next year and hopefully better times for both teams. It was fitting that the Braves won in their last game at Turner Field.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-74663585625908414532016-10-03T08:07:05.564-04:002016-10-03T08:07:05.564-04:00I don't follow football but do love the quote ...I don't follow football but do love the quote by Dickens.

It's a shame that the Braves lost so much early on but good on them for learning from it and turning their game around. If they keep up that momentum then they can do better next season.
