Does anybody really care??

So you'll get to see these uniforms either during or after you see the ASSWHIPPING that UGA puts on South Carolina/The Evil Genius/The Ole Ball Coach/Criminal Garcia on Sept 10.

Will you really watch that game? Does anybody really care? Makes me yawn just thinking about it. Musberger and Herbie. Poor guys.

Mediacom neglect of Braves viewers is roiling the customer base.

Post by Mike

The anger just won't stop and Mediacom doesn't seem to care. I personally know of a dozen people that have switched from cable to dish since the start of the MLB season. We are 43 games into a 162 game schedule and 12 account transfers from my limited exposure to the World.

Let's face it, I barely know 12 people total, so magnify this number across the Southeast and you may begin to get an idea of the scope of this issue. Still the cable provider is unwilling to bend, and when certain fans began complaining on the company Facebook page, the post were promptly deleted and the complainant was blocked from page access.

My early season post about the company neglecting baseball fans has had 11 comments posted. Here is what our readers are saying:

From Danny Aller's story in the Albany Herald:

After all, Bloom noted, Braves fans represent only a portion of its overall customer base -

Ms. Bloom, I think that portion is about to get even smaller

My 88 year old grandmother has Mediacom just to watch the Braves. That is all she wants and now she can't understand why Peachtree is no longer available. I happened to come across your post in my effort to search for answers. She is fixed income and can't afford a MLB package. It really is a shame. However Mediacom had no problem coming out, giving her the digital upgrade, added stars for 58 more bucks a month and never explained she still wouldn't get Peachtree anymore.

I keep hoping that Mediacom will cave and pay the price for the Braves! I really don't want to go to the trouble to get a satellite dish, but I will. On the night of the home opener, we raced home so excited about the game and then we couldn't find them on the Guide. When I called Mediacom and got the recording, I could've climbed through the phone to strangle someone! To make it even worse, they knew they weren't going to broadcast the game, but didn't bother to let their customers know. I just keep hoping enough people will pressure them to make them carry the Braves. We don't have an ideal place for a satellite, but I guess we'll have to improvise. This really stinks! Are you listening, Mediacom???

Mediacom is a sorry ass excuse for a cable company. Can't pay a little for the Braves, but if you look at their lineup they sure have a place to look at a good bit of porn if you want. All they care about is the bottom line.

I'm calling Direct TV in the morning to get someone out here in Valdosta to see what pine trees I need to cut to get sat again. Then I'll be cutting Mediacom out of my house.

Teheran gets his second call to start in the bigs. The Braves are DEEP.

Teheran gets the call.

The Braves have the deepest pitching staff in baseball. Tim Hudson. Derek Lowe, Tommy Hanson, Jair Jurrjens, and Brandon Beachy as starters on the main club, and Mike Minor and Julio Teheran seasoning in Gwinett. Plus Kris Medlen will be coming off the DL in August. We are stacked with starters, but only have one baseball. It is a nice problem to have. The Braves currently lead the National League with a 2.99 ERA. The Phillies are second with 3.13.

The bull pen is solid too. Closer Craig Kimbrel has a 95 mph fastball, but can be shaky at times. Setup man Jonny Venters is unhitable. His slider may be the best in baseball.

That's what Tiger said yesterday. Claimed the knee was good.

Chunked TWO 24yd wedges in the water on #4, shot 42 on the front,  then withdraws.

I could go so many ways here.
