On behalf of Tomahawk Take and the entire Fansided network, please let me add my own Thanksgiving wishes to each and every one of you. And, as Patrik noted, a special call out goes to those in the Armed Services here and abroad. I for one am most thankful for the sacrifices you make so that my family and I can enjoy the freedom that’s so easy to take for granted.
I initially was going to write one of those traditional posts about what I was most thankful for, then I thought that everyone might be getting a bit tired of those. I decided to take a little more lighthearted approach and compile a list of things that the Braves family might be thankful for, should they happen. And you might be a Braves fan if you think you might be happy about these, too. So, without further adieu and in no particular order, I present my list:
10) Bobby Cox might be thankful for a month’s membership in “We Do Honey-Do’s”, as at last count he’s only up to 1976 on the list that Pam started for him a long time ago!
9) Matt Diaz might be thankful for a promotional deal with Neosporin. He might not get any money, but with a barter deal he could coat his thumb before every game, just for luck!
8) Brooks Conrad might be thankful for a trip to the Brooks Robinson fantasy camp. Usually reserved for fans, Brooks Robinson may make an exception for his namesake after reviewing tape of the 2010 Braves post-season!
7) John Schuerholz might be thankful if the Texas Rangers stopped sending him unsigned “Thank You” cards every week!
6) Roger Craig might be thankful for a 2011 copy of the “If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix It” calendar which features a “Pitcher Picture” of a Braves hurler prospect for each month!
5) John Smoltz might be thankful for a copy of the book “Humor For Third Graders”, to replace his “Pre-School Jokes” book that he used for reference material throughout 2010!
4) Nate McLouth might be thankful for an agent to help him get published the book he’s now writing “How To Be A Gold-Glove All-Star While Blind”. He’s also working on a sequel “Crap, What Do I Do Now That I Can See?”
3) Jason Heyward just might be thankful for, aah, aah, aaaaaaaaaah, shoot, everything!
2) Chipper Jones might be thankful if OSHA came by and pasted a big “WHITE MEN CAN’T JUMP” poster on his locker for next season and finally
1) Braves fans everywhere might be thankful if the hypnotist that has been secretly hired is successful in his efforts to “educate” Dan Uggla on Atlanta’s light traffic, mild temperatures, low humidity, low taxes, low cost of living, and great educational system. The task is so easy, the hypnotist is working for free, I’ve heard!
That’s it. Have a great Thanksgiving Weekend everyone.
