Road Woes...

If misery loves company, the Braves apparently aren't alone in their road struggles, though they've certainly had the worst case of the road trip blues. In fact, they've had the worst road winning percentage in the modern era, according to Jayson Stark's new column, talking about how road wins are down all over the majors this season.

So, the bad news is that we're really bad on the road, in fact, maybe the worst in the history of the game! But, the good news is that the Braves are not alone in struggling on the road this year. I was surprised to see that the next worst road record is owned by the Red Sox!

Stark throws out some interesting theories as to why teams are losing more on the road than ever before, like having a younger team, which we definitely have. I wonder if he's on track here, and how much these factors have affected the Braves?

Good thing we're starting another road trip tonight...
