Thank You Chris Burke

I know ya'll love the Braves but how about that Tennessee product Chris Burke hitting the winning homer in the 18th inning! A back to back double header with no break in between.

Now for my gripe. All of the papers and announcers have been calling it a "walkoff" homer. I don't know what that means. It used to mean a home run that was hit so far that you walked down to first base as you watched it go over the wall. Burke's homer landed about two rows deep, which is not far enough to casually watch it as you walk to first base. Every homer that goes over the fence these days is a "walkoff" homer according to the news media. Just because it isn't "walkoff" doesn't mean it wasn't great either.

So get off this "walkoff" kick. Two rows deep ain't it. Hit the train tracks and you can walk.
