Braves Update:
The Braves will begin their season at home for the first time in four years. And just in time for my birthday, the Bravos will take on the Metsies from April 4-6 at the Ted. They will also welcome the Mariners while not playing Boston. I guess they were listening to Chipper Jones! Of course this is tentative, an official schedule will be released later.
