9/29/2013 - Braves v. Phillies - Regular Season Finale

[sentenza]

Cubs gave up this series. 2 runs in the last 3 games. This teams should lose 110 games next season.

[The Chosen One]

Laird just finds ways to win.

Laird gives us that rah rah that we've been missing since Brian Jordan.

[Braves1976]

Clayton Kershaw's overrated... right?

Nah, but I hope he has a bad game in game one (and 5 if needed) of the playoffs.

[Garmel]

We put Walden in a tight game yesterday but not in a blowout today?

[50PoundHead]

Medlen will always be a better pitcher than Minor

I'm with you.

[sentenza]

No more chance to reach 100 Ks this season!

[The Chosen One]

I wish Ruiz was playing... so Kimbrel could hit him.

[buck7580]

Does anyone know what time the game starts on Thursday?

[The Chosen One]

Fredi about to cry again.

[The Chosen One]

Does anyone know what time the game starts on Thursday?

I think the NL is going alone on Thursday, and ALDS starts Friday.

It's likely we'll have the primetime game over St. Louis-Cinncy/Pitts

Thanks!

Or the Phillies traded for Bryce Harper.

[cajunrevenge]

Bring on the Dodgers.

[The Chosen One]

Ugh... Now comes the hardest part. Tomorrow I'm going to have Chip Caray withdrawals.

[nsacpi]

Bring on the Dodgers.

We obviously have no chance, but I'm looking forward to it.

[Dalyn]

Nice way to end a great regular season and a ****ty September. Looking forward to the playoffs.

[nsacpi]

Game 1 lineup kind of obvious:

1. Heyward
2. J Upton
3. Freeman
4. Gattis
5. McCann
6. C Johnson
7. Simmons
8. E Johnson
9. Medlen

We'll take it from there.

[CyYoung31]

Ugh... Now comes the hardest part. Tomorrow I'm going to have Chip Caray withdrawals.

The come down is always the hardest part.

[ProbationDeac]

Honestly, not a bad weekend. Last night hurt but overall you win 3 out of 4 against a team you're normally going to feel pretty good. Friday was our lowest hit total of the weekend and we still managed to get a win. 17 hits today, 12 Saturday, 3 Friday, and 12 Thursday.

If you want to look at the negatives, this was a bad month, we finished 13-14 on the month, struggled offensively for most of the month, lost home field advantage, McCann struggled and the bullpen had some hiccups. Positives, we started to swing the bats this weekend, Medlen looks like the ace of the staff, Freeman was great, and frankly the playoffs are a whole new ballgame.

[nsacpi]

My guess is the Dodgers lineup will be

1. Crawford
2. Puig
3. Ramirez
4. Gonzalez
5. Kemp
6. Uribe
7. M Ellis
8. AJ Ellis
9. Kershaw

Ethier has played some rehab games and will probably be on the roster, but I don't think he starts. Kemp has been rested lately due to a sore ankle, but I think he'll be in there.
