On May 18 the Atlanta Braves announced they would be holding Christian “Faith Nights” at Turner Field this season.
Since that date:
- The Braves have won 10 and lost 22.
- They have lost 19 of their last 22 games and are 2-17 in June.
- Currently, they have a nine game losing streak (the club’s longest such streak in 18 years) and they are 14 1/2 games behind the NY Mets in the NL East (their largest deficit since 1990 when Atlanta finshed last (26 games out of first place).
- Overall they are 30-42, that’s 12 games under .500—another low point for the franchise since the end of the 1990 season.
After winning 14 straight Division pennants, there’s only one explanation for what’s happening to the Braves…it must be the curse of the Flying Spaghetti Monster!
