OMG FRONTRUNNER!~~ The Braves aren't a small market team, but they don't have a ginormous payroll and are finding it difficult to keep free agents. Luckily they have a GM who spends his money wisely

I did not laugh out loud.

Thank you Mr. Umpire.

I think the fact they win a very tight division every year is something to be proud of and I am proud of it. I wish we could win every year, but I have that one WS to cherish, and every year they give me hope, which is more then what you can say for most teams. And again, usually I don't have a defeatist attitude. After Game 2, I thought for sure we were going to win.

Uusally I'm very optimistic about the Braves, almost to a fault. I thought for sure we'd do very well in the playoffs the last three years. This year, I knew how bad our bullpen was. I wanted them to win and had confidence that they could do it, it's just with our horrible pen, I thought the Astros would win. It's not a defeatist attitude, if you're exactly right about your team's weaknesses to a fault, well yea.

Reitsma is pitching in the bottom of the 10th. Cards in 6

Smoltz wasn't going to pitch Game 5 because of his shoulder. And if Smoltz didn't go back into the rotation, we wouldn't have won the division title or be near the playoffs, so he deserves no criticism. I blame Kolb and Reitsma for this.

I still never found out why Verne loves the Astros and why Precious Roy hates the Braves so much...that's what's making me angry. Home run? What home run?

I wanted to argue that but yep, it was a home run.

Called it

Going into the bottom of 9th. I really want to turn this game off and come back 30 minutes later, but I know, as a fan, I have to watch until the end. ESPN is all but guaranteeing Bagwell Kirk Gibsons it.

So were the Braves though. Damn you Tom Glavine! Andruw GIDPs and I'm freaking

2002 was the year where I think we could've won it all, but of course Glavine and Sheffield decided the season ended in September

No, he just wasn't able to get it. I could argue about not calling the guy out at first on the DP, but whatever. We don't deserve calls like that with our pen.

Well do you yank Farnsworth or stick with him? Who knew McCann's home run would be so important

I hate life.

.....

I'm seriously gonna have a heart attack

These at bats are not good for my stomach

I guess Cox is confident with the 6-1 lead. I'm still so nervous.

Yea, that was a bad play. But he hit a grand slam so he's forgiven. Let's hope Farnsworth can get the final six.

I thought you were a Twins fan Verne. Explain your Astros fandom please.

That sound you heard was me screaming. ADAM LAROCHE MR. ADD!~ I'm cautiously optimstic, since Hudson looks to be pitching well

I'm listening to HTD write now and I just love it. I'd rank it #2 or #3, behind Joshua Tree and Pop. But yea, to each their own I guess. I think had U2 put a finished version of "Mercy" on the album, instead of say Crumbs or A Man and a Woman, I'd love the album that much more. They were pretty good on Conan last night. All Because Of You didn't work b/c of Bono's voice but I loved Original of the Species. I don't like the song, but Stuck in a Moment was fine, and Vertigo was good live as always.

Commander in Chief has actually gotten good reviews. No, I don't watch the show b/c of My Name Is Earl and The Office.
