GDT 10/3/13: Dodgers (Kershaw) @ Braves (Medlen) - NLDS Game 1 - 8:30 PM

Well even that's a bit over the top for me. I mean this was always the most likely game of the first three that we lose. Shouldn't panic even if we lose tonight. Win the next two and we're in a good position.

Yeah I'm not ready to wave the white flag. But it isn't that Kershaw is dominating. It's that we are playing stupid baseball right now. In the field, on the basepaths, and our ace, while having some poor luck has not located well. We couldn't afford him making mistakes tonight. We needed him to be at the very top of his game.
 
This has been going on for over a decade, so it's more like "mentally weak franchise". I'm also a Colts fan, so I'm somewhat conditioned to expect playoff failure. From about 2000-2005 I just thought it was normal for MLB teams and NFL teams to finish with the best record in the league and then fall flat on their face in the playoffs.

As a lifelong Broncos fan going back to the days of getting blown out in the Super Bowls, I feel your pain. Plus that fluke loss to the Ravens.
 
Ron Darling asks who would you rather have, Dan Uggla or Elliot Johnson.

Never thought I'd actually have to give a long thought about an answer to that question
