How wonderfully fitting...Atlanta gives an appropriate middle finger to MLB's Commissioner Bob Manfred, while they host the World Series .  .  .

They are trying to find a way to force the Braves to play their home games at Coors Field.

@Polly Ticks

Have an honest question for you.  Is the "Tomahawk Chop" chant now piped in through the sound system?

...because I never see the fans doing "The Chop" while it's being 'chanted'.    :laugh:

@DCPatriot
It's evolved over the years. For awhile, a guy banging on a huge timpani drum would be displayed on the Jumbotron to start it, then they would play the music through the sound system. Most recently up until 2019 (not counting last year because of no fans), they started it with whistles, then drumbeats, and then trumpets came in for the melody of it, all through the sound system.

As of this year, they quit doing the whistles and the trumpets/melody, and they only do the drumbeats on the sound system.  The fans supply the rest. And the fans start their own chant here and there, without the drumbeat prompts.

Edited to add:
During a pitching change for the opposing team during a late inning, they also turn the lights down and the fans turn on their cell phone lights for the Chop.

It looks magical in the stadium when they do that!

Question: Are you wearing your pearls?

Good luck ... but, I gotta say it! GO STROS!

Hard to believe...they announce that the Lead-Off HR was the 1st time in World Series history that the 1st swing offering ended up going over the fence.

Congratulations, Braves fans. Nicely done. I'm sorry about Charlie Morton. Yes, he's scary, but I never wanted to see him leave the game with an injury. See y'all tomorrow night. wink777

@AllThatJazzZ  You betcha -- every game day in the post season!  (Side note - every night when I clean them before I put them away, I wonder if Joc is taking good care of his.)

Go Braves! I'm thrilled to win Game 1, but heartsick over Charlie Morton.

Morton may be toast.  I think he has a fracture in his tibia or fibula. Someone else is going to have to step it up a notch and pitch Game 4.

Twitter map shows only 3 states are rooting for Astros in World Series

An overwhelming number of Americans are rooting for the Atlanta Braves to beat the Houston Astros in the 2021 World Series, according to new Twitter data.

Fans favor the Astros in just three states - Texas, Louisiana, and Delaware - in a map created by Betonline.ag that’s based on over 230,000 geotagged tweets sent out since the World Series matchup was officially set.

Not surprising to me, at all...last laugh etc..

Overall, I believe Americans are sentimental and always root for an 'underdog' when given an opportunity.

Secondly, sports fans are sick and damned tired of the Kaepernick Syndrome, which obviously had infected the Commissioner's Office. 

STOP THE POLITICALIZATION OF PROFESSIONAL SPORTS.

The Braves are probably screwed if the series goes back to Houston.  Their pen will be exhausted.
