Guest I miss Test. Report post Posted October 9, 2005 This game gives more reason to shorten the regular season, so the NFL doesn't steal the glory during the playoffs. Oh well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. S£im Citrus 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 (edited) Not always. I could've sworn once, in a Clemson/UNC game, Clemson had so many people foul out that they had to play the last minute or so with only 4 players.May just be an NBA rule, then. EDIT - And, on further review, my original interpretation of the rule was slightly off. Edited October 9, 2005 by Mr. S£im Citrus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest *KNK* Report post Posted October 9, 2005 If this was just a regular season game and both teams ran of players and such, They could just call it a tie, correct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gert T 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 I just got back from a 5 mile run, left in the 15th inning because it was cutting too close to the start of the Bengals game........ I guess I got the best of both worlds. (Still able to see the end of the game) As a Cards fan, obviously I would love to see them play all night, but I would like to see the Braves win just to see how the matchups would be for Game 5.

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 I jinxed it, man. I was on the phone with the woman and said, "whoever wins it is going to be some no-namer." Two pitches later, one's in the Crawford Boxes. I can't help but think back to the eighth where I thought I'd like to see Farns tagged for a couple runs, never thinking he'd cough up the lead entirely. Dammit.

Guest Smues Report post Posted October 9, 2005 No matter how hard I prepare myself I'm still never ready for the end. However, I think I'm taking it better than the last few years. I've haven't broken anything in my room, I haven't been screaming, the tears are minimal, and I haven't cracked anything over my skull yet this time. I think having 9 innings after they blew the lead to calm down helped things. Congratulations to the Braves on their 14th straight. Go Cardinals in the NLCS. .........I guess congrats to Houstin too why not. They were the better team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Given that the bullpen didn't allow a run for 7 innings, well, there's nothing to be ashamed about. It was a fun season with lots of highs and lows and well...

Guest TheDon Report post Posted October 9, 2005 That was a bad call by the Ump in the 8th inning saying Julio came off the base. I say and smell bullshit on that call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 Whatever, it's pointless to argue stuff like that. I thought the guy was safe myself and considering the umpiring was excellent for most of the game..well yea. Maybe he was out, but we shouldn't have allowed a grand slam and a home run with one out left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 Why did the Braves trade for Kyle Farnsworth? Is there any way anyone can defend that acquisition at this point? I wasn't initially watching this game, just tracking the score while watching football and since it was 6-1 I didn't feel much need to turn it on. Then I saw it jump to 6-5 quickly, and then I just KNEW that Farnsworth had given up the grand slam. But why leave him in for the 9th? The 8th ought to have shown clearly that he's horrible. I fucking hate the Astros. Hopefully they have nothing left after this game and the Cardinals will just sweep them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Downhome 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 Well, the series went to five games afterall. After blowing their lead, looking like they were going to just blow the Astros out of the water, Atlanta didn't even deserve to win this game. I'll be right back cheering for them next year, that'll never end. I just don't know who to pull for in the playoffs this year though, since both of my teams have went home.

The guy was brilliant down the stretch when the Braves needed him. I don't think he blew one save and had an ERA under 2. Without him, we might have gagged the division away. And they left him in for the 9th, cause Cox had no other relievers that he trusted since they all suck. I'm pissed Farnsworth gave up the lead, but this doesn't take away his terrific play for the Braves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He blew it big time today, but I'm still incredibly glad we got him. I'm sure he's going to get a pretty nice contract from someone this off-season and I can only hope it is us that sign him.

Just John 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 Thank god the Astros won. The NLCS doesn't start until Wednesday, so that's 2 full days of rest and tiredness shouldn't be an issue. The use of Clemens might throw off the rotation slightly, but they can just go Pettite, Oswalt, Clemens for the NLCS. Shouldn't be a problem at all. It takes some serious delusional bitterness to think the Astros will get swept. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
