Concession Speech: 2012 Atlanta Braves (Big League Stew)

With the regular season over, many teams are facing an offseason filled with golf rounds and hot-stove strategy.
But we're not going to let them get off that easy. No sir. No way. In an attempt to bring some closure between franchise and follower, we're giving a blogger from each team the opportunity to give a�concession speech for this�year's squad. Up next is Alex Remington of Braves Journal , Fangraphs and Big League Stew fame.
My fellow Braves fans:
Today is not a day of sadness, but of affirmation. Though our ultimate celebration of the 2012 season will not occur on the fading green of autumn fields, it occurs here, today, in each of our hearts and memories. It has been a good season, and we have been fortunate indeed to bear witness to it.
We said goodbye to Chipper Jones, who has been a Brave for 22 years, and true to form, he had one of the greatest farewell seasons in baseball history. The team will badly miss him ? he led the team in on-base percentage ? but it's always better to retire a year too soon than a year too late. Someone might want to pass that memo to Rafael Furcal.Rush Limbaugh Denzel Washington Cast of Desperate Housewives Jennifer Aniston Angelina Jolie The Olsen Twins Nicole Kidman The Eagles Rod Stewart
