I see it as a positive step to protect the integrity of the sport. I have always viewed the winter option as detrimental when fall and spring are considered.

Even though the end result was disappointing, we were very positive on our improvement.

To maintain the integrity of the process and the confidentiality of interested parties, we are not commenting on individual discussions we have had concerning the Atlanta Braves. We will say that our initial assumption, that the franchise has significant marketplace value and that there is widespread interest in it as a possible acquisition, has been confirmed. We continue to have meaningful discussions with outside parties about a possible sale of the Braves.

We owe it to the public to maintain the integrity of that forecast.

This was just a really, really positive move. It shows that they (trustees) are people of integrity.

We started the game out very well and, ironically enough, perhaps too well. We connected on a corner kick with Angela Lira striking for the early goal in just the third minute.
