Amazing that other teams fill up their stadiums on school nights...I am sure the Georgia Dome will be empty Monday night since it's a school night too...oh wait..
"Now now, playoffs or not, it's a school night fans and we all know Brave fans are commited to education."
I would go probably 60-40 Dodgers win. It was sort of an odd interview in that one of the co-hosts said something to the effect of "We're all picking the Braves to come out of the NL, who do you have coming up out of the Al?" Chipper immediately chimed in that he was picking the Dodgers to win...
Just listened to the whole interview. Chipper doesn't give us much hope. He said the Dodgers are the best team in baseball and he thinks they'll win in 4 due to Kershaw and Greinke. He mentioned several times that if a pitcher is on there's really nothing you can do other then try to run up...
Glad you're going to be there! Hope fans get it together and fill up the stadium. I don't want to see a bunch of empty seats or a bunch of dodgers fans like the Cubs series.
Yup the usual bs that Atlanta residents come up with every year. If it was the 4 pm game it would be "we couldn't get off work." Now that it's at 830 it's " a school night and the game is starting too late." Never effing fails.
I think Dan's trying but I think sometimes you just lose it. I feel bad for him in that he had all those seasons with the Marlins and no doubt wanted to more opportunities to play in the playoffs and stuff. At the same time, this is a business and is about putting the best players out there to...
So basically we need to win both games 1 and 2 right? ha
Dodgers could very well sweep. Greinke and Kershaw are great pitchers and it will be tough. I think we'll need something along what we faced with Cliff Lee which is keep it close and when and if they make a mistake we hit them for it. I...
I think BJ still makes the roster as someone you can pitch run late in the game if you have someone like Gattis on base. No, I am not saying that's a great reason to have him on the roster, just my prediction. He's also a better fielder then Gattis.
As far as Uggla, I get the move. All Uggla...
I actually feel really good about J-Up right now, he appeared to be heating up to end the season. I agree on Simmons, I just get the feeling he's going to come through in a big way.
Stud-
Jason Heyward- I think it's huge to have him back. He's starting to swing the bat again and I think he'll...
Cue long list of excues from Atlanta residents that don't want to go, "Traffic, ticket prices, stadium location, uncomfortable riding the Marta, it's not a football game, traffic, it's not a football game."
I hope you're right. The 1pm afternoon playoff games were terrible for attendance. I certainly agree that the crowds in 2010 were great, one was a Sunday game and the other was still a night game. I hope the crowds are great Thursday and Friday and full of BRAVES fans. I haven't been at Turner...
