^ Wat? There is still a good chance the Braves and Pirates don't even see each other in the playoffs. Braves need the Cubs to beat the Cards this weekend at least once or win the next two from the Phils just to play the winner of the Reds-Pirates WC game.

Chris Johnson was clutch last night. LOL at that game last night only having 5 hits total. Medlen and Lee were dealing.

9/28/2013 5:28:11 AM

medlin has been dealing for over a month now

9/28/2013 4:28:32 PM

Good Lord the Cubs are horrible. Braves need Minor to pitch a gem tonight.

9/28/2013 5:29:58 PM

No they need fucking run support.

9/28/2013 9:06:39 PM

god fucking damn it

9/28/2013 9:30:48 PM

If the braves play the Dodgers first round (which looks to be the case now) they will score no more than 5 runs total against kershaw, greinke, and ryu. They just can't hit good pitching at all right now

9/28/2013 10:24:49 PM

9/28/2013 10:35:27 PM

Anybody else see Terry Pendleton livid at Chris Johnson? Grabbed the shit out of his jersey and shoved him pretty hard

9/28/2013 10:50:06 PM

Damn I cut the game off in the fifth inning.

9/29/2013 9:29:36 AM

TP should've been pissed. No need to head first slide into first.

9/29/2013 9:35:51 AM

I read that it was because he threw his helmet in the dugout and it hit pendleton, and he got really pissed bc it wasn't the first time he's done that

9/29/2013 11:40:32 AM

What's the stats to head first slides and running it out

Yea I read that TP was pissed because it hit him

9/29/2013 11:47:49 AM

i love the speculation in the first 12 hours after and all the articles where people are saying things about how johnson didn't hustle, or it was about the slide, etc.

in the end, it comes back to watch yourself, you hit me with the fucking helmet, dude!

9/29/2013 1:26:50 PM

Let's fucking go szimardjia. Whatever I'm not looking it up. Braves off to a good start, need some help

9/29/2013 2:39:44 PM

Fucking Cardinals always shitting on the Braves postseason hopes. Dodgers are an awful matchup for the Braves. Can't believe we lost home field advantage. Send the Cubs franchise to AAA already.

9/29/2013 8:21:44 PM

yeah, that hurt. Kershaw and Greinke back to back is brutal. But I will be there, cheering on the Braves (for what its worth, they are 14-1 this year when I attend in person)

Glad we get to fuck the dodgers up.


Last trip to STL, we swept them

9/29/2013 11:21:44 PM

ok, who is in that swimsuit/tennis picture? ahhaha...I recognize Gattis and I recognize Simmons....otherwise, I'm lost.

9/30/2013 7:51:30 AM

god i hope Cancun is a Dodgers market or else i'm going to be out of the country for the first 3 games of this series.

9/30/2013 8:05:26 AM

Terehan in the wing floaties
J terd in the back middle.

9/30/2013 9:33:55 AM

So we are looking at:


Thursday - Kershaw
Friday - Greinke
Sunday - Ryu
Monday - Kershaw
Wednesday - Greinke


ugh

9/30/2013 9:50:33 AM

So we are looking at

Thursday - L
Friday - L
Sunday - L

9/30/2013 10:07:40 AM

Didn't the Dodgers hit rock bottom when they came to Turner Field earlier in the year? Seems like after that series is when they went on a run

9/30/2013 10:18:26 AM

Yeah they added Puig and Greinke shortly after that series and went nuts. At least Kemp will miss the postseason. Braves will just have to pitch well and hope it becomes a battle of the pens as the Braves have the best pen in the majors (statistically).

Maybe they'll get a few clutch hits off the Dodgers big three. Shit the Braves used to go into the postseason with 3 HOFs starting and still would lose series.

9/30/2013 10:35:32 AM

rumor is that Fredi is going to blow everyone's mind and start Kimbrel against Kershaw. Shock the Dodgers into falling behind and then pull Kimbrel after 3. Then do it again the next night.

9/30/2013 11:35:27 AM

yeahokay

9/30/2013 11:47:17 AM

Anyone know how easy it'll be to get a playoff ticket IF and a big IF they make it to next weekend?

9/30/2013 12:16:57 PM

Pretty easy. Can buy now.

9/30/2013 12:38:41 PM

God you guys are some downers. I can't even post in these threads anymore.

Fuck the dodgers. Got to win at home cause when we go out there someone will get shot up.

9/30/2013 4:32:28 PM

i know this will never happen, but we have to bench Uggla. It's a guaranteed out with no upside on the defensive side of the ball. Let Elliot Johnson start and at least we have a threat for a base hit and a steal.



NO MORE UGGLA

9/30/2013 4:34:11 PM

^ That is probably a decent idea. As for Ragged, you cannot honestly expect a bunch of long time Braves fans to feel overly optimistic going into the postseason. Yeah I am hopeful that this year will be different, but I'm also a realist about this team and the match-up problems we face with the Dodgers.

9/30/2013 5:14:05 PM

Who goes further in the playoffs: John Smoltz and Joe Simpson or the Braves?

9/30/2013 8:02:37 PM

I can with the 2 big ass winning streaks we had.

9/30/2013 8:22:41 PM

^^LOL

The Braves are now the Fighting Peter Pascarellis.

Also, 27/33 predict the Dodgers prevail in the Division series.

oh we ready... got a group of 8 going Thursday

10/1/2013 3:44:03 PM

Looks like Uggla may indeed be left off of the 25-man roster...

Braves lost 3/4 at STL August 22-25 not sure where you got that from

10/2/2013 10:42:40 AM

Yeah the Braves took 3 straight at home during one of their two long winning streaks, but only a few weeks later, they got their shit pushed in at St Louis. Oh well go Pirates if the Braves can't win the NL.

10/2/2013 12:59:08 PM

10/2/2013 4:41:00 PM

Good luck charm!!??

10/2/2013 5:02:20 PM

lol uggla getting on the couch early.

10/2/2013 8:16:03 PM

so is the roster set for the entire NLDS? What if someone gets hurt?

10/2/2013 8:38:50 PM

god damn I am getting hyped up for tomorrow

well...the top of the 1st went about as well as you could hope.
