Dodgers 7, Braves 2: Bravda

It’s time for a new edition of “Bravda.”

“Bravda,” from the Russian word “pravda,” meaning “truth.”

The west coast road trip brings back cruel memories of MLB’s scandalous history, when the Braves were forced against the laws of nature into the National League West division. The unfair burden of those 27 games per year in the Pacific Time Zone obscured the true greatness of those glorious Braves teams of the ’70’s and ’80’s. Only being freed to join the National League East allowed their natural superiority to shine; the conspiracy undoubtedly costing the franchise a record 35 consecutive division titles.
