nothingbut net1,

That Dale Murphy trade broke my heart!  The Braves were terrible the whole time I was growing up, but cheering for Murph made those years somewhat bearable.  When they traded him away I just about lost it.  They practically gave him away for nothing. 

Looking back though, it wasn't a terrible move from a baseball prospective(Murph was near the end and Justice needed a spot to play), but from a sentimental side that was a terrible deal!

haha, good point ranger.  you're on top of your game.  no wonder i didn't remember it at all.  i thought it was strange, but i had it in my head that it was the "real" freddy garcia because i remember him being traded to the Phillies a little later, but that was from my other favorite team the White Sox, not the Reds.  so it was just a big jumble in my mind.  i try to check stuff before i post usually, but i didn't on that one, so i stuck my foot in my mouth.  so make that even one less bad trade for the Braves over the last 20 years!

also, the braves traded away a certain kevin brown around 1990, but i knew that one was an "imposter" beforehand.  guys having the same name causes problems...especially when they play at the same time.   the final point is, the bravos just don't seem to make bad trades.

I've been a Braves fan for most my life (Royals before I ever saw a game Parents fault. I became  a Braves fan after seeing Steve Avery pitch. My first game i ever saw) With this said.......The trade i hate most in my lifetime is the Kenny Lofton and Alan Embree for Marquis Grussim and David Justice. Justice and McGriff were my boys. I used to pretent to hit homeruns over our barb wire fence. Every time i would start out by saying up to bat is Daaaaaaaaaaaaaa-vid  Justice and hit it as hard as i could. We moved my favorite player for a a 1 year rental of Lofton.

And, of course, the ability to keep Glavine and Maddux in the rotation together.  Money doesn't grow on trees.  It had to come from somewhere.  We chose Maddux and Glavine over Justice and Grissom.  I'm not that upset with that decision.

I'm not saying it was a bad trade, just one i wish they didnt make. Moving salaries is part of the games, but you dont have to like it lol
