Well,that is that. The one thing that excites me about the Braves is how young they are. The future is bright.

Congrats to the Dodgers, and now it's on to the NLCS starting Friday night.
This is like the 5th time this year Mattingly has had Uribe bunt in a situation where he represents the go ahead or tying run. He only succeeded once. It doesn't really matter how many times he succeeded, the issue is that he is the last power hitter in the lineup and thus the last guy that is capable of tying the game or giving them the lead with one out. If he did bunt, then they would have to rely on a rally to take the lead.What did Vinny say? "Isn't it amazing someone can do when they can't bunt!" or something like that...
If they did go back, I think Atlanta would have taken it.I am totally surprised they beat Atlanta. I thought for sure they were going back to Turner Field and it would not be pretty.
I'm not too excited about the A's and Tigers. But that late game should be a humdinger!!!!![]()
Once again, here is a team almost everyone was picking to go far because they were in 1st place all season long except for one day. I thought they would give the Dodgers a much harder time. This is why you see Turner Field 1/2 empty in late September when they are heading to the playoffs. Braves' fans have the routine down-pat. They don't get too excited because in all likelihood the team won't survive the 1st round.
Yep. You never want to face a team that nobody expects to get very far and that every win is an accomplishment. They basically have nothing to lose.I would rather see the Dodgers face the Cards...and I would bet they feel the same way!!!

Brian Wilson pitches a scoreless 8th for the win and Juan Uribe hits a game winning HR in the playoffs. What a Giants fan dream.![]()
Only 1 of those was with Wilson and Uribe thoughNah, they have two World Series championships in the last four years to keep them warm and fuzzy!![]()
