Re: Atlanta Braves 2010 Thread
According to EarlJam's Facebook posting, the Braves are going to be the wild card.

According to SI.com, Game 3 of the WS may start at 6:55pm Eastern Time, so that kids will be able to see the entire game before bedtime.
Uh, Game 3 is scheduled on a Saturday. Last time I checked, Saturday nights were not school nights.

Apparently the Braves have forgotten that the MLB season is officially 162 games.

Re: Atlanta Braves 2010 Thread
Wagner nearly blows lead in the 8th.
Then strikes out Phils in 9th for a Braves WIN.
GO GIANTS GO!!!!
SF leads 2-0 over SD in the 4th.

Re: Atlanta Braves 2010 Thread
Braves win. On the road. In the 11th. With Ankiel (WTF?) hitting a HR and Fartsworth holding on to the lead for the W. Do I see ice in Hades?

Ankiel is reported to now be the hardest hitter left on the lineup card. 425ft last night, yeah...at LEAST.

Re: Atlanta Braves 2010 Thread
Adding another, and more impressive thing, are the number of come-from-behind wins that the Braves have pulled off this year.
Don't put them here
just yet!

Of course, Ankiel only batted about .200 for his stint in Atlanta, so it's quite a show when he actually makes contact.

Re: Atlanta Braves 2010 Thread
Well, that one's enough to bring even me out of the woodwork.
No fewer than half a dozen players played crucial roles in last night's incredible win (and for the record, I don't think think they're clearing space in Cooperstown for a single one of them):
-Derrek Lee with two runs scored and a good half-dozen outs saved with deft glovework at first
-Alex Gonzalez with the game-tying double
-Brooks Conrad with the perfect sac bunt to set up Gonzo's 2 RBIs
-Troy Glaus with the mental wherewithal, perfect positioning, and perfect fielding to start the 10th-inning DP
-Kyle Farnsworth with an adventuresome, but in the end effective, 5-out performance for the win (with zero notice, coming in from the bench, rather than the bullpen)
-Rick Ankiel, for obvious reasons
It really does rank up there with all of the most memorable gutted-out victories of the past 20 years, and it's a beautiful encapsulation of the way this team has done business all year long.
As for the closer situation, it obviously sucks that it appears Wags is done. However, I for one have supreme confidence in a two-headed monster of Johnny Venters and Craig Kimbrel, and in Bobby's ability to deploy them very effectively according to the situation.
GO BRAVES!!!
