How do you make a Nun lose her virginity ?
Dress her up like an altar boy.

How does a Cardinal make an altar boy cry twice ?
He wipes his bloody dick on the teddy bear.

What is knocking sound a Cardinal’s car makes?
The 10 year old locked in his trunk.

Expecting a yuge game from Albies

[BeanieAntics]

I think we get 6 shutout innings from Soroka today. He matches up well against this lineup.

[AerchAngel]

They thought Folty was nasty and he was and then some. The youngster have an arsenal of pitches.

I think we will win unless Snit does what he does and manage like an idiot.

Donaldson with a big fly today

[Tapate50]

We will be without relent today.

Expecting a yuge game from Albies

Next time can you call a yuge.game by the entire offense 1-8

[Ozzie Swanson]

That's awful Freddie.

[atl717]

Gonna get shut out by an average pitcher with average stuff.

Gonna get shut out by an average pitcher with average stuff.

The good news is that the next time we'll be at bat is in the 7th. That's when the Braves hitters have been told it's okay to hit. Just keep it 0-1 bad guys, Soroka.

sad

[USMA76]

Wainwright "pantses" Freeman, sigh.

[Enscheff]

That’s probably all for Waino.

Soroka at 60 pitches can probably be allowed to face the Cards a 3rd as long as the PAs remain reasonable leveraged.

[Enscheff]

Waino at 90+ pitches vs JD and the trio of LHH is a mistake. The second one Shildt has made with a SP.

I’m glad they are throwing away a PA here.

[Enscheff]

If Waino gets in trouble Shildt will go to a LHP. Snit must be ready to counter with Duvall.

[Enscheff]

Soroka extension likely needs to happen this off season.

[The Chosen One]

Waino at 90+ pitches vs JD and the trio of LHH is a mistake. The second one Shildt has made with a SP.

I’m glad they are throwing away a PA here.

It's only a mistake against anyone but us.

Throw out all conventional wisdom when it comes to us.

[CyYoung31]

I’m here, and this might be the worst decision I’ve ever made. Naturally, I don’t expect them to win, so it was probably a waste of driving 4.5 hours when I have to be at work at 7 am tomorrow. I’m also not getting any service at this bar, probably because of my Braves gear.

[pecas]

I don't see a clear edge for the Braves as most do here. A rookie on his first postseason start is never a big advantage over a veteran, whatever his stuff. Of course, I hope he can settle down as soon as possible and we cruise to a win.

The fact we would break the curse of always being behind in NLDS since after 2001 is another thing that makes me dubious. I believe, but always have that feeling that, in the end, something will prevent us from winning. Winning tonight is like climbing a high wall.

Still regretting for how game 1 unfolded.
