Guest Smues Report post Posted October 8, 2005 I have to leave tonight at 5. Seeing that the game started at 4:30 I figured I'd see an inning or two. But no I forgot it was on FOX which means it doesn't start at 4:30, the shitty pre-game starts at 4:30. It's sad to say but I wish it was on ESPN because at least if they said 4:30 they'd mean 4:30. Fucking FOX. Oh well I guess it's better I don't see any of the game before I left. If the Braves fell behind early I'd be mad all night, and if they took a lead then when I get home I found out they blew it that'd suck too. I'll just enjoy this moment where Atlanta is tied in the series 1-1. I'm predicting a Houstin win, Oswalt is too strong, but go Braves! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 Steve Lyons says that the Braves bullpen has been their Achilles heel with such amazement. Almost like he hasn't watched the Braves for the last 15 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 Well, it was a nice game while it lasted. We're getting dangerously close to the final four teams including the Cards, White Sox, and Astros. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slayer 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 My Reds fandom gives me a deep-seeded (sports) hatred of both teams, plus the dread of knowing one is guaranteed to go to the WS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devo 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 You really think the Cards are unable to beat either team? Honestly, I think these guys are vying for the honor of being defeated by the Cardinals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 Me? It has nothing to do with my perception of the Cards ability... I just don't want to see them go back to the WS, nor do I want to see the Stros in the WS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 I'd rather see the Cards there over the Astros. I felt dirty having to pick a team in the last NLCS, but I'll be forced to do it once again and my choice won't be any different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not thrilled with the prospect of the Cards being the NL Champs again either, but then again, I like them infinitely more than the other three teams in the running.

Guest Smues Report post Posted October 9, 2005 Well at least I didn't have to watch this live and let it ruin my evening. Tommorow is going to be a shitty day though since we'll be losing early in the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 'Bout time the Braves took advantage of their scoring chances. Grand slam coming with only one hit in the inning, that being the slam itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smues Report post Posted October 9, 2005 Adam LaRoche hits a grandslam to give Atlanta a 4-0 lead in the 3rd. With Hudson on only 3 days rest and our bullpen being what it is that lead isn't safe at all, but at least it gives a little breathing room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smues Report post Posted October 9, 2005 No pinch hitter for Hudson??? Wow. I know the bullpen is shit, but I figured they'd use Farnsworth for the 8th and 9th, or maybe Horacio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
