    Just think, you would have been a Braves fan if they had just won another championship or two.

  • Prediction: Astros in 5 and Helobious will still be a chode.    

  • Man imagine that. 3 ws appearances in 5 years and no *title* to show for it. Sad.

Talk about shutting the door. That was badass. Total quit on the faces of the Astros bench in the 9th, awesome to see. 
 

I actually think Houston wins tomorrow just because ATL winning 8 straight playoff home games is improbable. Braves in 6.

Wright was huge tonight. Assume it will be on Chavez and Smyly tomorrow to do the same.

@PenelopeWitherspoon  Get em. 

Friendly reminder: they don't crown WS champs after three wins, or the Texas Rangers would have two trophies.

Lol you can't even get your strange, unrelated shit-talking correct.

The Braves are in a great spot and they've had a hell of a post-season run, but any Atlanta fan would be lying if they said they aren't worried about blowing this series.

Pretty sure the Rangers only won one game against the Giants.

Yes I am fucking stupid because I didn't remember the exact World Series game count from ten years ago when the Rangers lost. You got me.

Wouldn’t be the first 3-1 lead they have blown and they have also blown it with better starting options.

No way an Atlanta sports team could choke a lead like this.

Counterpoint: they are playing a Houston team.

Is it possible to blow a 3-1 lead?  Sure.  Am I worried?  No.  What happened in the Super Bowl almost 5 years ago has no bearing on a baseball game (if it did the Rangers would have won 3 World Series championships in the 90s.)  What happened in the NLCS has no bearing either.  They already exorcised that demon in this year's NLSC.

If Houston wins the next two games, THEN I'll worry about blowing the series.

Rangers haven’t won shit, such a weird statement. I thought the whole dallas vs Houston was dumb shit talk but guess you take it serious .

Lol at Astros fans getting really sensitive in this thread.

Newsflash: Every baseball fan outside of Houston is rooting against you. You have your own Astros thread where you go crazy over Altuve HRs and melt down over Altuve Ks, then you come to this thread and act surprised that every non-Astros poster is cheering for the Braves. Enjoy 2017*.

their last HR barely escaped the big man's reach and Altuves drive barely stayed in the park at nearly the same spot.  That's the cruelty of baseball. Next year need to DH for Maldanado and PH for all the relief pitchers as needed.  Just too many injuries this year, we'll be back. 

This is shaping up to be a very good sports year for the state of Georgia.

What’s funny is neither team has a legitimate championship according to any unbiased fan. That’s alright though. Manfred allowed you to keep the asterisk title because he has no backbone. Even asterisk flags fly forever, so I’ll give you that. 

Nothing seems to bring the hate like baseball.

 

Because the next on is coming at your ear.

WGAF? We don't need "everyone else."  The same fucking crybaby stories by national announcers for 2 years straight don't make a fuck either.

Our team has faced idiotic bullshit on the road all season.   It has  hurt them soooooo badly with a road record at 7 games over .500 during the regular season. In the postseason, Houston is 3-4 with a chance to make it .500 tonight.

If the bats wake up, Houston will prevail.  If they stay in the coma, the Braves win.  I have no problem with the Braves.  It's funny how the shithead fans of loser teams just want to pile on; but that's fucking great.  Bring it!!!

Drink up, bitches...

Always have been.

Full disclosure: I don't drink that stuff either.  The name is funny though.  by the time Marwin came to the plate last night, this is what I started pouring.

I'm really amazed that so many of them have let Helobious get to them.  I mean, while their team was playing an ultra-stressful game in the World Series, there were numerous Astro fans on here arguing with him.

Then why even comment? You have the circle jerk thread one thread down where you can stay in your safe space.

The “woe is me” mindset gets more and more entertaining especially when the team created the issue. Feels a little like reaping what you sow at this point.

As far as the hitters, maybe it’s time to give a little credit to the other side. The Braves aren’t running a scrub staff out there. The longer it goes the more the advantage swings back to the hitters, but the Braves should also realize some benefit from that as well. It’s not like they are rolling out a AAA lineup.

I dunno...maybe to participate in the conversation.

just as you allude to deriving joy from the Astros fans being glum; I also get a kick out of the dislike for the Astros thread.  98% of it is bitching about our own players/ managers/ and bullshittery by the umps that affects both teams.  Somehow that's a threat to someone.

Whatever...

Braves might be one of the lowest win teams (2006 Cardinals with 83 wins) to ever win it all.  I know they're division winners but this expansion in recent decades has dramatically diluted the World Series.

I don’t know that I agree. In the regular season you get a shit-ton of low stress games against inferior competition. In the postseason it’s the best vs the best, in at least a 5 game series. No one talks about the 2001 Mariners being the greatest ever even with their W-L record.

Eh… they definitely have more fans in Atlanta than GT does. Or at least I imagine they would.

I actually have, and I loved it so much I want to go back. Most beautiful city I’ve ever been by far. Granted it was July.

Definitely realize the WS is not close to over… but just reflecting on being at the game last night, man…. Kyle wright saved us from certain doom. Then to have the explosion of the back to back homers that sent everyone in the stadium in to a blackout frenzy, and then Eddie making one of the greatest must have catches I’ve seen….it’s just one of those nights that encapsulates World Series baseball and the pure excitement of the moment. As an aside, the city of Atlanta is so joined together right now. It’s funny cause I’ve been going to games all year and could hardly find people to go…yeah covid didn’t help but we also sucked. Then in august it all changed and the Braves have taken over the city. And last night they closed the Battery because too many people were there. The energy is just unreal here.

One more Astros loss and they become 0-2-1 in the World Series.

Tighten up your smack talk.  We’d be 0-3-1.
