Astros 9, Braves 2

I smell something....

Wait, I think it's the tomahawks burning.

Great smell. :)

Go Stros!

Normally I'm a braves fan, but for some reason, I've been rooting for houston the entire series.

so who's starting against the Cardinals in 2 days? I think I'd rather watch the Braves bow out now then watch the Cardinals dismantle us the way they did earlier in the year. Pujols scares the sh!t out of me.

Backe would probably be starting.

The braves should leave the league & turn into baseball's version of the harlem globetrodders. I mean, if you aren't in it to win, why even bother?

um, well they go on the field and try to win ballgames? They have won 2 of them this series you know? I dont' really understand what you are implying... they enjoy winning 95+ games in the regular season and then call it quits?

I'm not implying anything.

BTW, the Astros have won 2 of them in this series also, like, you know.


ETA - The Braves' 96 wins don't mean crapola if they don't make it any further. :)

Have you seen their team? Did you see the expectations at the beginning of the season? They weren't supposed to finish higher then third. I'd say this was a successful season regardless of what happens in the playoffs. There's a reason Bobby Cox is going to win manager of the year, it's not like management gave him a team like the ones he got in the past.

Nah... Mgr of the year should be LaRussa. His team was projected third.
