In 30 Teams, 30 Posts, I write a post about every MLB team in some way in the lead-up to the beginning of the 2015 season. Previous installments can be found here. Today, I lazily reduce the entire Atlanta Braves into a Haiku.

The Baseball Continuum 
Ok, as a Braves fan, I’ll readily admit they are at best an extreme longshot this year. And I enjoy reading your blog. But with all due repsect…c’mon, dude, just a haiku for their post? We still have some good players (Freeman, Simmons), good pitching, and our farm system went from #29 to #6 after all the trades. If nothing else, I figured we might at least get a tongue-in-cheek post about our “new” CF Melvin Upton, Jr…a whole lot of sarcastic comedy potential there.
The reason why the Braves only got a Haiku is because I’m doing something about Melvin Upton over at Hall of Very Good on Monday. It wasn’t meant as a bit of disrespect, but merely a case of “saving the ammunition”, as it were.
Oh ok. That makes sense. I look forward to reading it on Monday. No hard feelings.
