He could do some magic in this game. Maybe gun a would be run out at the plate to preserve a lead?Quote:

For all the bitching over the walks and all of that, remember that this is essentially an all-star team we are playing against. Getting 1 win against them is quite a feat IMO.
That being said, I think we have a chance today. We got off the snide and getting used to being here. Go Braves!
Its amazing what you can do with a 500 billion dollar payroll. They spent like 16 million a year on Rich Hill knowing full well going in he was only good for about 100 innings a year. Absolute joke and anything they win is meaningless in my opinion. If they had our payroll they would be perennial cellar dwellers.
I went into this series hoping that we would win. Then it turned into I hope we win a game. Then to I hope we score a run, back to I hope we win a game.
Now it is hopefully we can win a game today, and avoid the Dodgers celebrating on our field...Then back to hope we win the series Wednesday...

Braves should have taken a note about last nights game and started Fried as the opener followed by Folty.Quote:

Full disclosure: I was at a poetry reading and missed the first five innings.Quote:

Announced Sanchez would go game 5 if there was one
