Seeing as I can't handle watching SportsCenter for more than 5 minutes, I need options. Umm, TBS still gives me Saved by the Bell in the morning.

Whoever made the decision to stop airing the Braves games is a complete idiot. I am a military member who also counted on TBS to watch the Braves. I've been a Braves fan for over 30 years and have always watched them on TBS. Now I am lucky to 1 or 2 every couple of months on the pro Yankee stations like ESPN or FOX. I will no longer require the services of TBS. So sad. A part of my life has been stripped from me. Some part of it probably looked good on paper, but they don't see how it affects everyday people. This is what they meant about the lights going out in Georgia. So sad. Adios TBS... TBS may as well hang it up. Whoever made the decision to stop airing the Braves games is a complete idiot.

They don't even show the games on FSN here in NC. The Braves need every game televised! Go Chipper. TBS NO LONGER NEEDS TO EXIST.

What really annoys me more than anything else though, is that TBS will follow ESPN & FOX's lead & probably televise a lot of Yankee games. The Yankees already dominate the baseball landscape & the television networks who televise baseball games. Now, TBS has just sold out & become just like all of the others. I get tired of seeing the Yankees, Mets, & Red Sox all of THE DAMN TIME on tv. I know they are the largest markets, but how is MLB ever going to grow & become very popular nationwide if all they ever do is televise the New York, Boston, & LA teams? In my opinion, this is what is wrong with MLB. And, for the record, I HATE THE YANKEES & RED SOX! I think MLB & the networks who televise MLB games should be forced to atleast televise each MLB baseball team(all 30 of them) atleast 10 to 15 times a season on the major networks who televise the games. This would not only satisfy the large markets, but it would also bring much needed & deserved exposure to all of the small market teams as well. I also believe that this will make MLB very healthy from top to bottom, from large market cities to small market cities. Baseball in my opinion should be as popular or atleast as close as possible in Tampa Bay, Kansas City, Miami, & San Diego as it is in New York, Boston, Los Angeles, & Chicago It kind of sucks!

The Braves games were the only highlight of TBS. As a military member moving from state to state I new that TBS would always have my Braves on. I had already stopped watching TBS, due to it's terrible movie choices, and showing the same movie a week straight, so without the Braves, that means I don't need cable anymore.
