Spring Training Weekend!

Written by Colin on March 21, 2008 – 12:30 pm

Florida, get ready, because here we come. Four of the BravesBlast crew are heading down to Florida this afternoon after we get off work. Are you in or going to Florida this weekend? Let’s meet up for some baseball talk and beach weather.

We’ll be heading to the Nationals vs. Braves game tomorrow at Space Coast Stadium in Viera and then driving to Orlando Sunday morning for some baseball there. During our off hours, we plan on soaking up some of the sunlight and enjoying the beautiful weather (we’re a bit tired of storm-strewn Atlanta).

We want to meet up with you! Email mailbag@bravesblast.com (it’s linked to a BlackBerry) and we’ll get back with you as soon as possible - let us know who you are, where you are, and if you’re going to either game. Be on the lookout (that means “check back often over the weekend”) for some great content, including our roster predictions, some great pictures from the Spring Training scene, game coverage, and more.

Email us - mailbag@bravesblast.com - let’s meet up. Don’t forget to enter to win Braves tickets by subscribing to the BravesBlast Insider (on your right). It’s the easiest way to get free Braves tickets!

Notes from Spring Training

Written by Colin on February 19, 2008 – 10:21 am

Since we’re not on-site yet (full time jobs and classes are regrettably taking up most of our time), we have to report everything second-hand for now, but here’s a bit of a digest of the goings-on at Disney’s Wide World of Sports from major news outlets.

Tom Glavine is fitting in - and everyone loves having him back. His wife and kids are down in Florida with him, and today even USA Today ran an article on him being back. I appreciate even guys who haven’t played with him like Hudson giving him the respect he deserves. That said, I have spoken to a few fans who don’t want to see him in a Braves uniform since he dirtied himself by playing with the Mets. But that opinion is only shared by a small minority.
