kimbrel gives two free passes and the braves still escape. that kinda luck won't last.

10/4/2013 9:43:44 PM

Ohh and good god Bartolo Colon is fat as shit. How is he good enough to be the #1 starter for a playoff series?

10/4/2013 9:45:02 PM

IDK, reconstructive surgery? post-surgery HGH? guy was an ace in his prime.

10/4/2013 9:46:08 PM

So we got ryu on Sunday vs Teheran. We're not really throwing Freddy Garcia on Monday right? Medlen should be fine, minor game 5 even though we won't need it

10/4/2013 9:47:25 PM

^ whoa whoa whoa, take it easy there jinxie mcgoo

10/4/2013 9:50:31 PM

Shit, I'm already worried about missing the clinching World Series game on oct 30th because I'll be at the pearl jam concert. We got this

10/4/2013 9:52:42 PM

Good start. All of our runs in the series have come with 2 outs. Crazy

10/6/2013 8:15:55 PM

heyoo, 2 out hits by Gattis and Chris Johnson, not to mention McCann drawing a walk after being down 0-2 help the Braves get out to a 2-0 first inning lead.

10/6/2013 8:20:08 PM

ump screwed us there. teheran had two strikes that were called balls and ended up walking the guy to load the bases

Ryu's fly out would have ended the inning instead they went on to get 4 runs

10/6/2013 8:55:18 PM

so a bloop that any outfielder besides our 3rd string catcher would have caught, a walk that shoulda been a strikeout, a sac fly by their fat korean pitcher and a 3 run shot by their leadoff hitter. fantastic

[Edited on October 6, 2013 at 8:58 PM. Reason : ...]

10/6/2013 8:58:10 PM

wtf was justin upton doing there? How does he not score? holy hell...

10/6/2013 9:12:07 PM

both of these coaches have gotta be flipping their shit. Both guys given 2 run leads and both are screwing around with it.

10/6/2013 9:15:45 PM

hahahaha, wow...ryu is dicking himself all over the infield right now

4-4, tie game. runners on first and second, 1 out, Simmons up.

10/6/2013 9:19:44 PM

10/6/2013 9:47:19 PM

10/6/2013 10:27:14 PM

^hah that's awesome, and sadly fairly accurate

10/6/2013 10:36:32 PM

That roster move to have elliot Johnson as the starting second baseman with no depth really paying dividends. And please return your salary bj

10/6/2013 10:40:42 PM

It is always amusing to see how the Braves will manage to lose in the postseason. This years it's ungodly horrible defense, last year it was a blown call by the ump (although they may have still lost that game), the year before it was Brooks Conrad, fatass Eric Gregg, Mark Wohlers, Lonnie Smith, etc. Amazing every year it is always some dumbass shit.

As for today's game, LOL that we are starting Freddy Garcia. A team that at one point had too many good SPs is starting Freddy Fucking Garcia in an elimination game. That Hudson injury really did fuck us bad. Also fuck you Maholm for being worthless.

Go Pirates.

10/7/2013 9:06:35 AM

Dodgers throwing Kershaw tonight. End of the line for the Braves it seems.

10/7/2013 3:32:22 PM

i would like to say he won't beat us twice, but we were so piss poor thursday night, it'll take a series of extraordinary events for us to even come close

we r dun 4

10/7/2013 3:34:14 PM

Wow that is a questionable move by Mattingly. I'd understand it if the Braves were up 2-1 in the series, but the Dodgers could easily save Kershaw, let him go on full rest if needed. Oh well, hope it back fires in his face. The track record for all pitchers on short rest is not great in the playoffs and Kershaw did throw like 120 pitches on Thurs. Hope the Braves open a can on him tonight.

10/7/2013 3:37:20 PM

Hopefully it ends like our decision to throw Rodon against UNC on short rest

10/7/2013 3:48:24 PM

bring it on...let professional hitters face a pitcher (on short rest) for the 2nd time only few days later and I'll give that edge to the hitter all day long.

I could be eating my words, but let's knock him out in 3 innings.

[Edited on October 7, 2013 at 3:57 PM. Reason : dfg]

Kershaw vs. Freddy Fuckin Garcia

How is this even happening

10/7/2013 3:55:33 PM

Good night, sweet prince

Fuck the Dodgers. They are fucking annoying. I want to kick Gonzales in the nuts when he does the exploding hands after a base hit. I'm tired of hearing about fucking Puig. Doesn't make sense can't bring a Cuban cigar into the country, but we can bring this asshole in to play baseball. I'm tired of the baseball sucking off Mattingly on his job managing a team WITH THE HIGHEST PAYROLL IN BASEBALL. Clint Hurdle said you can suck his left nut. Anyway the Braves will likely lose. Haven't won a postseason series since 01 (same year State won in Winston Salem). [/rant] [/pissingandmoaninglikeabitch]

10/7/2013 4:00:45 PM

Braves always find amazing ways to fuck up the postseason. I still blame this whole thing on them blowing home field advantage. Fuck you Padres. Braves vs Pirates was a much better matchup. Oh well, only a few more hours left in another heartbreaking season.

10/7/2013 4:10:52 PM

in all honesty we would face kershaw in game 5 anyway. I'd rather play him on 3 days rest vs. 5 days rest even if we have to play him in LA. If we win tonight...Mattingly looks like a dumbass because he won't have Kershaw for Wednesday.

10/7/2013 6:22:57 PM

Good start with our leading HR hitter popping up a bunt attempt.

10/7/2013 9:42:48 PM

welp

Nobody outside of Braves fans believes this.

10/7/2013 10:17:45 PM

I don't get it. Everybody else gets better in the postseason, the braves get worse

10/7/2013 10:29:59 PM

^^ Unfortunately that is very true. Braves get stagefright in the spotlight, always. Seems like a constant organizational issue

Heyward just ran the fucking ball in from center field like this is little league.

10/7/2013 10:54:20 PM

Lol I don't think any middle infielders were still in the infield

10/7/2013 10:55:11 PM

Nice job by Garcia tonight

10/7/2013 11:47:32 PM

Garcia was everything we possibly could have hoped for this game. Wow can't believe he matched kershaw through 6 innings

10/7/2013 11:48:19 PM

That play reminded of Rookie of the Year

10/7/2013 11:55:38 PM

Great job by Garcia. Got the lead now, let's get a few more let the bullpen do its job and get out of LA and back to Atlanta

10/7/2013 11:56:40 PM

I'm going to laugh so hard at the Dodgers if they burn Kershaw for a loss.

10/7/2013 11:59:05 PM

nothing is as stress inducing as playoff baseball

whew, my heart was racing that entire at bat. way to come back from 3-0

10/8/2013 12:23:12 AM

Do you bring in Kimbrel for a long relief attempt?

10/8/2013 12:27:38 AM

that was fucking terrible

10/8/2013 12:29:07 AM

haha, did CJ just hit himself in the face with the bat?

10/8/2013 12:29:45 AM

Johnson has been a huge pickup for the Braves.

10/8/2013 12:31:53 AM

I hate puig so much, but his raw baseball ability is ridiculous

10/8/2013 12:40:55 AM

who is this terrible pitcher

GOD FUCKING DAMNIT
