The [Braves] broke some rules
I fully expect the hammer to be dropped on them, citing the precedence set with the cardinals and also the fact they are not the red sox/yankees/cubs

Serious post: I had to open this thread just to see who the Barves were. I thought it was a reference to... well, I don't know what.
