40 years in the wilderness might be over.

They were (well, still are) on track to beat the 1962 New York Mets for worst season ever. And the Mets had a good excuse as an expansion team.

I look forward to them being able to draft Tanner Houck or Alex Lange next season.

Even better, a quick scan of twitter shows a large number of their fans want to bring Bobby Cox back.

I don't follow pro ball as much as I used to. But, didn't they trade/sell all of his talent away?

Most of it... Still 2-17 at home and the worst mlb record since the AS break justifies his firing

This Braves team is devoid of talent, I don't think they would make the AA playoffs if they played the entire season in the Southern League. Even Freeman, their only true talent, was hurt and is just now starting to feel better and play better.

His handling of the team when he did have talent was enough to be let go. I imagine they kept him on as a lame duck until the young talent started making its way to the big club.
