@stewardsultry It was a pro Braves commercial

@JeterSwisherFan88 Yeah, it's kinda sad that WGN can have Cubs AND White Sox (two teams) being sent to a national audience, as well as certain other Chicago teams, but TBS can't even show a Braves game to the Atlanta audience (true story, I tried to watch the Braves on TBS, and I live in the Atlanta area, it gets blocked out.)

I'm not an Atlanta Braves fan but I wish TBS still carried their games to the nationwide audience, too, instead of becoming Peachtree TV out in Metro Atlanta and spinning off the TBS we get today.

i wish tbs was still the superstation and home of the braves...

Of course, WGN also aired this game, as like TBS with the Braves, pretty much aired every Cubs game during the season.

Braves won this one 'cause the Cubs and Braves played twice on a sunday afternoon, and the Braves won both of them (8/21/88: 1-0 victory at Wrigley, 8/28/88: 4-2 victory at Fulton County Stadium)
