BREAKING NEWS SHOCKER!!!!----Richmond to lose Braves

Well.....I guess this is what happens when you (pardon my French) fart around as a city and a region as a whole!

All the talk about a new stadium and all the talk about downtown and all the talk about more regional cooperation and now that there is actually SOME entertainment development on the Boulevard (multiplex cinema) that doesn't charge 25 cents a peep:

The Braves have had enough. Click HERE for the initial reports.

Between all the stadium bickering, the fall of waterlog, forcing the R-Braves to play home playoff games on the road, and the less than stellar attendance recently (though that point is EVERYONE'S fault), the Braves sat down in Atlanta over lunch, and decided, "We're the only major league team that owns their Triple-A franchise. Why put up with this anymore? Let's move them close to us, bring baseball more economically to some suburbs and market it as their "stars of tomorrow" who can catch a cab to the big leagues!

Everyone in Atlanta is a winner!

Then there's Richmond. Enough said.
