Love this team!
c“mon Braves all we need is one run
new thread = wins
DAMNIT

Just Missed it

RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS
That would've gone if I hadn't switched to this thread
I hate this park!
oh dammit

that was crushed

RUNS RUNS RUNS

Dang, homer anywhere else.

Just got home from a MUSE concert

and the Braves have tied it!!!!!

how many has Mac JUST missed

That ball went 420

and melky with his typical chopper
i don't like these quick innings...

I definitely yelled BOOM BITCH at the top of my lungs on Mac’s drive.
I sat down quickly and silently

I feel like crying.

How the hell did that not go out?

Stupid ballpark designed for Giants (haha…get it?)….

Pac Bell/3Com/AT&T/Annoying park is destined to deprive us of longballs

He hit it to the wrong part of the park. Anywhere else, it would probably be out.

RAW DOG!!

do your thang!

Please be a hero Brooks
Brooksy magic now baby!

Francisco Cabrera > Melky Cabrera

Miguel > Melky

Time to weave your magic, Brooksie

Raw dog Homer

I want one!

RUNS PLEASE RAW DOG!
Come on, Brooksy!!
We proved that if you just get HITS, no need for homers to score.

Wish we would stop swinging for the fences more.

Someone tell Conrad

its past the 7th inning

Stupid no-doubles defense.

Since when does Huff play D?

conrad almost got it going

geez lol

was that 8th inning a 1-time thing?

Damn

First baseman guarding that line.

Are you fucking serious?

How lucky can the Giants get? We killed two balls in that inning.

I feel good about this game with the way our BP has been lately

except i hate how quick that inning was

they’re getting the momentum back

No way. They are striking out left and right, and we are crushing the ball now.

We have to score before we use them all though
FTFY...2x

I feel good about this game with the way our BP has been lately all season

I feel good about this game series with the way our BPand bench has been lately are better than theirs

that should have been 3 bases!

WE WANT KIMBREL!

WE WANT KIMBREL!

Wags for 2 innings and getting the W please!
I almost want Kimbrel for 3

that guy should make a run at the closer for next yr

Not very long at bats there :-(

Whoa...Bowman says Glaus at 3rd?
Double switch...I guess
Klaw via Twitter

Great arm, 4 command. Command improves, he’s a closer. Love, Captain Obvious. RT @ben_sally @keithlaw Thoughts on Craig Kimbrel?

Glausasaurus at 3b!

Double switch – i love it!

Put Ankiel in to pitch!

Would be nice

to see Beachy

Would be nice to end it before then...

wagner coming in almost scares me

Did Chino just forfeit the game?

how??? BY doing a double switch that saves a PH and gives us a great bat off the bench?

Because Glaus can field about as well as a pitching machine?

You mean, he is like Brooks at 2b?

mmm crow is tasty this time of year.

Glaus scares me!
GLAUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

o hell…glaus at third…

Glaus at 3rd??
OMG

Troy Glaus is at 3rd base.

please be quick inning
Oh my... Glaus at 3rd really??

Glaus at third? No no god no

Phew...Conrad out...not Omar
why the switch?

im confused

A lot of this is scaring me
Please no balls to third
Oh wow

Bobby putting everything into this one

I mean Chino
Make no mistake.

Bobby is still pulling the strings.

OMG GLAUS AT THIRD!!!!!!!!

Please don’t hit it to him

Glaus at 3B this inning makes no sense....

If he were brought in as a PH and part of a double switch, yes. But, why now!?

A double switch. P spot coming up, Conrad just batted. Wagner goes to Conrad’s spot, Glaus goes to teh 9 spot and hits next inning.

Consider me officially nervous as hell.

ha…I bet Glaus gets the game winning hit!

That Renteria HR still pisses me off

Dear Mom
 
Ran out of beer.
 
Switched to Capt. Morgan 100 proof.
 
Pray for my soul.
 
Love,
 
Your son.

if this is any type of foreshadowing

Glaus at 3rd Sunday?

O.........M....................G...............................................
Shit...testing Glaus
And there it is....

That would have been a bunt single with A-rod at 3rd.

There's the Glaus D

Oh please, people. Like Conrad’s D at 2nd or Infante’s D at 3rd was much better.

LOL

of course he bunted the fucking ball.

Great.

They obviously fear Troy and his stellar D at third.

LOL

i love how SF does that.

anybody else see that coming?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

seriously

glaus at 3rd

exactly why

Glaus maybe shouldnt be playing

Infante also has no play on that.

FAIL.
Outs plz

worst loss of the year IMO if this happens
I feel like I should probably be glad I didn't see that...

Okay. I spent all day dismissing this possibility.
 
Thanks Cadahia.

That's smart baseball.

LOL

crap man on 2nd, 1 out
WAGNER HURT........
Man wags

thought you had him at 2nd

God...Troy looked like a very old man charging that...F
Come on, that was tough play...Chip wouldn't have made it
are we going to do anything

except bunt?

IF ANYONE WANTED GLUAS AT THIRD NOW YOU KNOW!

I wanted Glaus at 3rd. That was a bunt single, no matter who is there. It was a perfect bunt.

HE FELL DOWN!

I know, it was not perfect
Oh no

Wagner is hurt.

you know what, f*** you guys

Glaus will hit a bomb next inning

If there is a next inning.
Dear God NO!!!!

NOOOOO!!!!

NOT WAGNER!!!

Isn’t that what you do with a new fielder in? Make HIM make the play if you can.

Plus, it looked like Billy got in his way.

No No No....you're ok Wags
just what this team needs

another injury, are you fucking kidding me?

hello 2011 if so

NONONONONONONO HELP!

That's why you don't put Glaus at third.

Why? Because his presence enables teams to lay down perfectly placed bunt singles?

SON OF A B...Now Wags is hurt

We are effing cured

i really thought he could turn two there...

I hope you’re not serious. He barely got one after a quick look to 2nd. He may have been able to get the lead runner though.

i wouldn't necessarily call that a quick look...

but yeah, he had time to get the lead runner anyway

YOU GOT BE KIDDING ME!!
I CANNOT BELIEVER THIS
Wagner just got killed

Wagner is done.

you cant be serious
Beachy please...no Farns
farns already pitched i thought
Fuck

Of course this would happen to us

well this is great
this is absolute

fail . . .

WHY DID WE MAKE A NEW THREAD......... SO MUCH FAIL DELETE NOWWW
This is really fucking comical at this point...

WTF else can go wrong???

Short of a meteor hitting the dugout and killing our whole team
wow

got to be kidding me

DELETE THIS THREAD.
Kyle Farnsworth coming in

fuck.

Apparently, 2005 wasn’t enough punishment for Braves fans.
 
You have to systematically take every asset we have this year.

Bright side

Maybe Wagner will not retire so he doesnt end his career with an injury

Hopefully he comes back, but we need him this series
cristian martinez time

cristian

Why does this crap keep happening to us?!?!?!

oh dear Pujols
Folks we may have just seen the last pitch Billy Wagner will ever throw.

farnsworth = gift wrap
i am begging someone to deelete this thread]
Do you really think a thread caused this??

c’mon now

It clearly didn't help.
FVCK U Renteria
Looks like the same injury Prado had
TIME TO GET SERIOUS

CUZ FUCKIN’ KYLE’S PITCHING

THIS THREAD SUCKS!!!

This is just…….afjd;slkfa;sdjq2eyrqpeoryfo

This injury is because of Glaus
Get off of it...That was a good bunt...Chip wouldn't have made it

ARod wouln’t have made it.

DAMMIT! WHERE'S MY GUN?

Did I fall asleep? Is this a nightmare?

PLEASE DELETE.
farnsworth?

why? Game over.

Who would you have used instead?
How bad does it suck for Wags career to end like that??

That is not fair in the least. God this is BS.

OMG, I so hope Billy is OK.
NEED A NEW SAVE THREAD
someone please delete this thread.......... seriously
Wow you're actually serious

Even I’m not that superstitious

farnsworth = giftwrap
I want to see Farns and Wilson fight

Kyle Farnsworth wins 10 out of 10 times.

Wilson would fight dirty guaranteed
Farnsey,

Throw tha FIYAH please.

let’s go farnsworth!

i'd rather see farnsworth than beachy here

would hate to see beachy get ruined like devine did

someone remember the last time that Farnsworth pitched for us in playoff?
Your trivia

isn’t charming.
 
Stop it.

fail happened when this thread did. obvious
Dude. Let it go.

Please don’t suck Farnsworth. Please?

Alright then, lets win for Chip, Bobby AND wahner
there is a way

to dishearten the team..

This is where you laugh instead of going ballistic right?
Pick Wags up Kyle
For the love of God, Kyle

please get the next 2 outs.

i don't understand why the non deletion

Really, the thread is not the issue.

If this goes to 13+, put Ankiel out there

What could possibly go wrong?

let's go back to the previous thread
Enough with the Negative talk

Farnsworth can get this done!!!!!!

Sigh....what else can go wrong?

Bright side: Wags may come back next year, if he’s out for the rest of the postseason. He doesn’t want to go out this way.

GO AWAY HE’S FINE

That

is wishful thinking

No way

I know. I just want to make myself believe he’ll come back.

I don't know if I can watch?
Wow that was a strike!!

it might just be bad cramps

Wags is becoming a woman!

WARNING

Sanchez WILL try to go to RF. paint that black

I cant even watch at this point
dammit

Wags hurt it on Rents bunt

Please FARNSWORTH don't ruin us like 2005

That wasn’t smart.

Shit...he broke something

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

BS

that hit the bat.

THAT HIT THE BAT!!!!!

He’s pulling a JETER!

I take it back

A billion players did that waaaaay before Jeter!

That hit the bat!

After the hand.

and the shoulder. hahahahaha

Jesus Farnsworth...he effing killed that dudes hand

Sanchez is done.

Broken hand.
Yup, looked like right ring finger
Is it bad that I snickered for a second??
yes

considering we just lost Wagner

Well, that's ONE way to set up the double play.
What an ugly inning
don't care

i’m glad it happened

WTF Fanrsworth
Maybe Sanchez's fingers are broken?

We lose a Wagner, they lose a Sanchez.

Well

At least Farnsey did something to help us for this series.

UGH, no more baserunners please.

That runner doesn’t matter.

thats quite unfortunate
lol farns just broke his hand

goodbye hand! not a bad play putting the force on.

That’s actually not the worst thing that could happen….
Double play anyone?

Farns

might have hit him

faked it wowwowow
insanely faked
We need a VIDRO!!!

hahaha…hit the hand, shoulder THEN the bat.

Please not 2005 again
Try to pick him off...

just for shits and giggles.

double play set up
DOUBLE PLAY

FUCK YEAH

ok

this is not cool to be hoping that Sanchez is hurt.

not hoping, knowing.

He is really really wild right now.
Don't freakin' choke Farns!
Chino, take him out NOW!

If Sanchez doesn’t have a broken hand, I’ll be shocked.

Didn't look very swollen.

Yea plus the way he was shaking it around and ripped off his glove makes me think its just a bruise.

Farns – strikes please.

VIDRO please!

Please let them somehow hit into a DP here...Farns looks awful

This is ridiculous…we need some OUTS!

I can’t take it!!!

What is this 85 MPH crap he's throwing up there?
That looked like a lollipop.
STOP! It's Vidro time...

if we win this game, then wags injury is more acceptable
Which would be worse ? Us losing 4-0, or us coming back to tie it and lose in extra innings?
NOT LOSING AT ALL!!!
I like the fire...
losing in extras
Depends what you mean.
Man Farnsworth fastball SUCKS!!!
take out the word fastball
Wow

that was a terrible wrong scouting report on our arms.

really

Melky only has an arm

Drama, always drama.

TBS loves drama

Kevin Dillon approves.

Could we please catch an extra inning break?
 
I can’t remember the last time that happened in the playoffs.

LOL, where did that gut get those arms scouting report
BAHAHAHAHAHA

the Giants announcers

“VERY strong and accurate arm in CF in Ankiel. Average arm in RF with Heyward. And a FAR, FAR, FAR, lesser arm in LF in Cabrera”

what is vidro?
GIDP
how did vidro become gidp?
Because that's what he did
Me

It’s my term that everyone adopted here, because he did it all the damned time

there's no the giants are scoring! let's have faith

the braves are going to get out of this and Glaus is going to hit one out! Beachy saves it.

Farnsworth is going to give me a heart attack. :(
why take out Conrad

when he’s the late inning specialist

because he isn't the defensive specialist
LOL...

Glaus is.

in comparison? probably.

K him

I HATE FARNSWORTH!!!!

Sorry had to get that out of my system

come on farns please
i swear to God, farnsworth.....
2005!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Fuck you Kyle

finish him.

THAT WAS A FUCKING STRIKE
FUCKING ARGUE THAT BITCH CHINO
NO WAY

O-V-E-R

Posey gets to hit.

Game over. That’s my call for this inning.

And… I’m wrong. Sweet.

DAMN YOU FARNSWORTH!! DAMN YOU!!!

TAKE HIM OUT!

oh bullshit KZone that
come on chino

Bring in Beachy

That was a hell of a pitch
Fuck

such a fucking inconsistent strike zone tonight.

wow

you cant walk him there

Wags is coming back in?
that was a K dude...

that was a K

I think that caught the inside corner.

With Posey on deck – you don’t get the guy at the plate? Damn.

o wow…that looked good…

This just isn't fair
PROOF THAT THE TRADE FOR FARNSWORTH/ANKIEL= MISTAKE!!!!!!!!
He made Wagner get hurt?
Hehh, no dude

It was a bad trade. Period.

Hardly.

We traded little of value for two guys who had a chance to improve our team.

had a chance

but didnt improve the team

Well

They didn’t. They made it worse by taking away a consistent bat and glove off the bench and replacing it with a bunch of garbage.

LOL...Gregor Blanco, consistent?
And Ankiel is 100X better in the field.
100X?

Just…no…look at the big picture.

Compared to Ankiel, yes
Uh, yeah

Have you ever seen Rick Ankiel play baseball?

Well then!

I’m shutting up

LOL
Seriously though

I didn’t say Blanco was great, but he was at least consistent. That’s a hell of a lot more than Ankiel could ever say.

I like Ankiel as a playoff starter much better than Gregor.

All there is to it. And imagine if that had been Chavez out there last inning.

Yeah me too

But if Medlen never got hurt we wouldn’t even be having this conversation. I BLAME MEDLEN!

If we had just kept him in the 'pen when JJ came back...
Well, then if...

Ah forget it, this is complicated…

Collins & Blanco are better.

after the game....

single most incorrect comment of the year :P

rec’d for lols

COMPLETE AND UDDER HORSESHIT

Your use of “udder” made me laugh, even in a tense moment

Good work, Farnsworth.

Go join the UFC already

This is over.

Kyle Farnsworth is the worst joke I’ve seen in 21 years.

False

Rick Ankiel is lol

Dan Kolb and Bob Wickman would like to have a word with you

:)

I love myself.

Umpire: “I don’t want to hurt the feelings of all these people. I’ll let the Giants win this one.”

I'd feel better at the beach.
This is the most painful inning of baseball i have ever watched...

you know its already over, just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

farnsworth, not his fault there

he wsna’t ready to even come in here and the dude just K’d the guy and the ump missed the call.

that was a strike three. WTF.

NICE BLOCK MAC
nice stop heap...
big time save by BMac
double play!

Vidro Vidro Vidro Vidro Vidro Vidro Vidro Vidro Vidro

yes

that is a gold glover at 3B

HATERS LOVE GLAUSY AND FARNSY!!!
Why did he throw to 2nd..i didnt think he had a chance...

Posey is slow.

Well he "stole" that base yesterday...
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs
little do the announcers know martinez can go 4+ inn haha

OH. MY. PUJOLS.

“Posey’s Better!”

FARNSEY THROWS FIYAH!!!!!!

omgajgtaljgaljktaljkgjlkatjlkajglkajlktajklgjkaltljkg

HAHAHAHA

CHOPPER…….HATERS LOVE ME! LeMME SEE IT!

I just had a mild heart attack!

My heart stopped beating for that entire play.

I kid you not….

That's as big as a pitch that you can make.
Also, Dick Stockton sucks "Glaus decided to go to 2nd with the double play try"...No shit, had to
i just threw out my shoulder fist pumping

Just ice it and be back by Sunday

fuckin a yes ;alsidjf;laisdl;fiasdjf;liasjdflijasfasd

GLAUS still remember how to throw
I just threw out my back celebrating

It’s the least I could do

little do the announcers know c-mart can go 4+ inn
No shit he would throw to second

are you fucking retarted

spelling fail.

wow DP of the year!!!!

PLEASE GOD

FINISH THIS SHIT NOW

Just do it

Just win, baby, win.
STRIKE THEM DOWN!
LEST DO THIS

GLAUS KNOCK A BOMB OUT! LETS GO BRAVES ! TOMAHAWK! MY WIFE JUST FREAKED OUT HOW LOUD I WAS

If we win the WS, we can look back at that dp
I really hope none of my neighbors are concerned...

Cause that was a loud yell…. holy shit

We got super lucky just then

but hey I’ll take it

Amen.

And is he serious? DLee was thrilled last inning.

Luck be a lady tonight
well its about time we got something right...

epic lee fist pump

How about Infante going back to 2nd and grabbing that throw to turn the DP?!!
come onnnnnnnnnnnn
How did that happen?

The stars/planets were completely aligned against us in that inning. I can’t believe this game is still going.

RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS
Braves playing defense?

WTF?

Come on boys...you can do this.
That Lee fist pump was epic
I might lose my life because of this game
and i forgot our back end can't hit..
I was pounding my chest so HARD
FVCK U Renteria
I'm literally having a heart attack right now
I officially declare this game/season Atlanta Braves Vs. Baseball Gods
This...we were supposed to lose that inning.

A meteor will probably hit our dugout now and end this for good.

are you authorized to do that?

One team. One destiny. They defied the Gods, themselves.

Coming November 2010…..

wow

damn you Rents

Seen him make that play 100 times...always think he's not going to catch it

Renteria – ex-Brave haunting us again.

is Ankiel the emergency pitcher?
he might just be

we only have 1in the bullpen that is left

Only if the game goes to twenty or more. Martinez and Beachy left. They can eat 8-9 innings between them if they absolutely have to, but God I hope we scratch out a run before then.

1:12AM in Atlanta

yo, you tired?

Absolutely not.
12:09

in Minnesota!

My poor dog has to pee...but other than that, nope!
T-minus 7:18 from my LSAT
Trust me...don't take it...it's all downhill after that
are you kidding?

i have an unhealthy amount of adrenaline pumping through me.

We need the RUNZ now.
Meant to mention it

but epic fail by the Giants fan wearing both the panda hat AND the wilson beard, those two guys are probably -1 WPA

Im not sure

how that wasnt a hit. I really thought that was a single off the bat

DID HE JUST SAY “HEY DICK JUST HANGIN’ OUT HERE?”

RICK ANKIEL IF THERE IS A BASEBALL GOD GET ON BASE
Bout time Ankiel runs into one.
If troy glaus hits a home run i will fucking cry
Eat the RIBz

Get the RUNz

Troy is on deck! Hell yea!

How is Rick Ankiel still playing?

that is why is still playing!!

All of you haters bases are belong to Troy Glaus!

Wow, i'm shocked at how many people are still awake at this late hour. Go to Sleep folks !! This game will still be going when you wake up.
18 innings anyone?
False, unless Huddy comes in to pitch
If Glaus wins this

we should resign him immediately

For Chipper money

no need. Glaus is hitting a bomb

goodbye ball

Anybody feel like chipping in on a coffin for Dick Stockton, just to give him a good reason to die faster?

ANIKEL

I CANT BELIEVE MY EYES!!!!!!!

SPLASHDOWN BITCHES

I’M LITERALLY SHOCKED….. THAT DIDN’T JUST HAPPEN

Now who says Wren made a bad move!!!!!!
Somewhere Frank Wren is smiling!
Farnsworth and Ankiel are winning this game?
yea like 5 minutes ago someone said Farnsy and Ankiel was a horrible trade

well farnsy got out of a huge jam, and ankiel just spanked one out!!

I'll give you Ankiel for sure

Farnsy got himself into that mess, though. :)

Bout time Ankiel runs into one.

by StapleGun on Oct 8, 2010 10:10 PM PDT reply

Why do i feel like we just won the WS ?
who saves the game?

martinez?

thats a tough call, but yea I think so
Hudson?! Can we bring Lowe in?
Dick is such a dick
well

Rick swings for the fences all the time so gotta work sometime

Ankiel made his best impression to Barry Bonds
Insurance time please.
Ha ha!!

Dick Stockton is sad now.

hes such a DICK
I wanna see one from Glaus too
Just had to come here to say

HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!!!!

I am almost in tears. I am so proud of the Braves tonight. What an AMAZING effort. I honestly have not been this proud of them in months.
RICK ANKIEL IF THERE IS A BASEBALL GOD GET ON BASE
GSO
by MikeTrain on Oct 8, 2010 10:10 PM PDT reply actions
Someone called the homerun too

wohlers pitches the 11th

We need more runs!
holy shit

that was the best 10 seconds i’ve ever had alone in a dark room…

those poor kayakers think someone like huff hit that ball.

little do they know it was rick ankiel

Frank Wren, you motorboating son of a bitch!

You ole' Sailor you!
Rick Ankiel, coved it.

Good god, who’da thunk it?

CAN YOU SAY METEOR?!?!??!!?!?!?!?!
OMFG! YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Put Ankiel in for the save
Because of that DP I will take a chance on Glaus at 3B

Infante 2B
Heyward RF
Lee 1B
McCann C
Glaus 3B
McLouth LF
Gonzalez SS
Ankiel CF

No thanks,

He also got Wags hurt.

Farnsey and Ankiel to the rescue

I F-ing love that trade!

What?!?! Rick can pitch??
What?!?! Rick can pitch hit??

FYP

FINISH THIS NOW!

that was months of frustration on that pitch lol
on that homerun I should say lol
Glaus with the typical GO
Ankiel is soo pysched!
Excuse my french but...

FUUUUCCKKKK YEAH!

omar get onnn

who’s up for sf

Not Posey, thank goodness.
Now let's finish this! I need to wake up @ 3am
Omar trying to snipe the Giants bullpen.

I’m of the opinion that Glaus and Ankiel should not be on the postseason roster

/6 hour ago’d

Who is pitching the bottom?
Ankiel to close the game...
That would be epic
I guess

Farns for the bottom of the inning?

The Braves are essentially a cinderella team right now

The injuries, the lack of offense, the lack of defense—we have no business in the playoffs right now, but we’re scrappy!

So basically we're Eckstien?
Or a Duke point guard.
This game isn't over boys and girls,

we still have 3 outs to go.

hahahaha

TBS just keeps replaying it I fucking love it

this this this

best sounding hit ALL YEAR

Me too.

What do they have, 50 angles?

who is coming in?
So...do we bring KK out of moth balls for the save?
He's on the roster? What

KK’s back in Japan drinking him some sake.

I was gonna say, is he even in the country?

Please 3 more outs with no Giant runs.

I will buy Farnsworth a vineyard if he brings us the W tonight.
 
A vineyard?

Seriously...

The sweetest sounding home run I have ever seen. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a crack from the bat like that.

yeah

JHEY then that

How far does everyone think that ball went?

I’d say 435 ft

MARTINEZ, CLOSE IT DOWN!

YOU’RE THE MAN CRISTIAN! DO IT BABY, LETS TAKE THIS HOME TO HUDDY

so um guys

who pitches this half inning?

Bullpen: Martinez, Beachy... Ankiel?
Farns would be asking too much

Lightning wil only strike for him once!

Here we go.

Oh my god. I can’t handle this.

My gf just said "[Rick]‘s kinda good-lookin’

Chicks dig the long ball

infield hits are sexier

according to ichiro.

hahahahahahaha
Who do we have, Martinez???

FARNSWORTH TO PITCH THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE INNING

who's coming up for SF
I dunno Farns didn't look in control but made a couple of crucial pitches
Martinez probably to close
I say Beachy

please Beachy

who replaces billy wagner this series

Venters or Kimbrel… depends on the situation

We can also add a guy to the roster if Wags is out for NLCS
CRISTIAN MARTINEZ DUDES

MARTINEZ IS NASTY AND THROWS GASSY MOVEMENT.

That sounds really disgusting.

Too much of the musical fruit.

Loved seeing the guys in the dugout.
amen

the shot with them jumping as crowd gets deflated and ankiel with finger up is priceless

They didn't! Dude said he was gonna go on a rampage with another dugout shot!
i have 911 on speed dial......
The tone at McC changed quickly...........
This commercial break sucks.

I gotta go to the bathroom first. PLLEASE A BORING INNING

i'd feel a lot more confident if we all named the same guy.
so far i've heard kk, beachy, farns, martinez, ankiel....
i'd love to see farns nail it down and avenge for '05
WHO THE HELL IS GOING TO PITCH I AM FREAKING OUT?!?!?!?!

ANKIEL

I was just thinking how awesome that'd be...he'd probably be able to it now

I’m out of booze. This is not good.

Who do u think replaces billy wagner this rounder if hes seriously injured
On the roster?

Maybe Saito?

Does anyone else have “when Sid slid” type chills???

It’ll never be the same

not even close
farnsworth....
Oh my god.

PLEASE go 1-2-3 Farnsy.

Phew! Great call on Diory...
Diory

in at 3rd

Farns to close it

Must retire leadoff batter.
Farnsworth still in
Farnsy

Just keep it down in the zone farnsy, don’t get too frisky

Farns again? Now I’m worried again.

kimbrel closes shit down but farns is gonna win this for us

take it down farnsworth

FARNSEY THROWS FIYAH!
OH GOD... OH GOD...... OH GOD I'M FREAKING OUT..... OH GOD I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING

OH GOD…… METEOR?!?!? WHAT DO WE DO I’M FREAKING OUT!!!!

Diory at 3B?

oh Lord

FINISH HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh my god!!!

I thought that was gone.

Ok, Chip Carey.

i'm glad the hitter knew he missed it...
SCARY

Unreasonably scary...

got scared....

Diory in

OH MY

heart palpatations

geez lol

that scared me

MY HEART CAN"T TAKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m only 25…..I can’t go yet

That camera angle scared me....
The sound when they realized that wasn't all that deep was music to my ears
Kyle, if you close this out, i will watch the entire 1st season of Futurama
why put yourself through that though? lol

Futurama is awesome….

You’re dead to me now.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!
That's torcher

Stockton with a little Chip Caray there.

well he's rooting for them so...
Gotta give it to TBS, great follow up on the Glaus DP
I literally just shit my pants.
oh my goodness

that stopped my heart

Two of the most exhilirating plays possible IN A ROW

This game has been insane i cant breathe

Has anyone noticed he really wants Heyward to catch it

That’s twice balls that were clearly more to CF he was calling for Heyward to catch it

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Iced-tea isn't strong enough for this game.
long island isn't strong enough for this game

Make it a long island

Wow, the team is actualy showing some heart....
I hope you're joking

If not, there’s the door

LOL, I guess my sarcasm isnt apparent
That scared the crap out of me....please keep the ball down Farns.
Giants look like us last game now.

Chino for MVP of this game!

He hung that one like a bitch.
Come on Farns

make this guy chase

yeah yeah... time to read off the credits...

TBS is really talking up Troy’s decision to go for the DP… They’re loving it from Big T

Really, Dick, this can't wait?

Well. That was annoying.

STOP READING THE CREDITS GO DAMMIT
STRIKE HIM OUT, FARNSY!!
Damn't!

You did the OPPOSITE!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Trying to curse us.

YESSSSSSS

Stop scaring me!!!! Every swing seems like it’s going to go out

Oh my god

That seemed like it was going to go a lot farther

Stupid Giants fans – any fly ball hit in the air, they think it’s gone.

Oh gosh, please 1 more less "dramatic" out now.

Cody Ross

Dear Giants fans,

Photobucket

hahahahahhahahhahaahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha
Oh my crap it is stressful to hear that on the radio!

“Hit deep to center…”

“And….”

“….”

“He’s got it!”

Damn

I can’t believe Ankiel hit a bomb to get the winning run. lol Insane game

And Farnsworth pitched 2 good innings

And our defense made some awesome plays!!!

See yall Sunday

Ladies and gentlemen, your heroes are Rick Ankiel, Troy Glaus, Derrek Lee, and Kyle Farnsworth.

Fire Frank Wren, indeed.

And I think

Melky did something too

;sodfig;odsifgj;soijaosijf;ao esnfvran;osietrh;osihj;alskjdf

ah crap

the Giants announcers just reminded me about Wagner

Wow, two of our most hated stepped it up big time tonight
I wanna see em go in the clubhouse and wake up bobby!
Wren for game MVP

Sea Bass, Ankiel & Farnsworth all came up big…

Don't forget Lee!
dont forget Glaus with that DP
Infante had a great throw as well...
Exs KC win this game
FIRE FRANK WREN!

GET RID OF HIM lol

the Bullpen was crazy good today
NEVER GIVE UPPPPPP!!!!
That Frank Wren is a fool.

Rick Ankiel and Kyle Farnsworth just won us our biggest game since 2005.

fucking amazing, isn't it?
Only after Alex Gonzalez put them in position to do it.

;)

Results based analysis. Doesn’t mean that we should have been in the situation to need them in the first place. Which is all the Mclouth, Cabrera outfield crapfest.

I know it's not the time but

That’s my point exactly

Who else, though?

With Chip and Prad healthy, this is a hell of a team and a hell of a lineup.

It definitely is

I just don’t think we should jump so quickly to their defenses. Like Perrinbar said, it doesn’t mean we should’ve been in that situation to need them in the first place.

Yeah, never shoulda gotten rid of Brandon Jones.

Above-average MLB OFs definitely grow on trees.

Kimbrel can take care of closing...
So...

we have Farnsworth and Ankiel to thank for that? WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWO

Ankiel just called Hudson 'fabulous"

amazing.

I would like to thank Kansas City for winning us this game
God Dick Stockton talks like a fucking idiot

God Dick Stockton talks like is a fucking idiot

Funny how the Braves biggest scrubs came through today...

WTF ANKIEL GAME SAVING HR? FARSWORTH 2 INNING SAVE?

That was a Win, not a Save.
Who replaces Billy on the roster though......

We know Kimbrel will be closing, but obviously we get an injury replacement. Who do you all think it will be??

Saito sounded like he was very close.

They can get him up to ATL pretty easy.

Ummm.....

They don’t get an injury replacement until the next series, IIRC?

they can substitute immediately i thought..

but the subbed out player misses rest of this series and the next

If a player is injured

You can replace him during the series, but he is out for the rest of the series and the next one if you advance.

So we probably only do it if Wags is good and hurt.

He sorta looked it.
Yes they do.

See above.

Last I heard

Scott Proctor was waiting in the wings

How did the second worst hitter on our team hit a home run into McCovey Cove? How?!?!?!?

who is the worst hitter?

my guess: melky?

Ankiel

had no words to describe it

Did we really just win?!?!

I honestly don’t believe that shit just happened.

Thanks for staying positive with me...

I knew we could do it..time to rewind and watch a bunch again.

feels so good, i dont think i will sleep tonite

let’s play 2!

ok everyone, night, see you all on Sunday

GO BRAVES!!!

ok everyone, night, see you all on Sunday

GO BRAVES!!!

karma bitches

And we go home with the greatest pitcher since Abner Doubleday came up with baseball.
 
Can’t wait for Sunday.

alright

great win… see everyone Sunday

So one of my friends who’s a Giants fan texted me this after the Pat Burrell HR
"Oh damn! What happened there bitch?"

And you know, I’d really like to win this game tonight, just so i can text back…

"Oh damn! What happened there bitch?"

‘Terrible preview…pretty weak, didn’t learn anything new. pretty sad." – mastermike
by mvhsbball on Oct 8, 2010 9:27 PM MST

I’m getting that text message ready now.

:)

PLEASE let me know what he replies

Savor those tears

fuck yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Were are those tools who said the season was over in the 1st now????
+356476347863766
All you hear is crickets form them. HaHaHa!

Waiting for the next time the Braves are losing.

would love to see the reaction of those idiots who said this game/series/season was over

after we went down 4-0

They were saying by to Bobby & everything like the sweep was complete.
Seriously, someone should go through and take note

We need a post specifically calling out the quitters.

Make sure you go to the converstaion we had about “reality”

i still can't eblieve it

can’t type anymore either

MCLOUTH & GLAUS TO START GAME 3!

Keep Ankiel in there with McLouth in LF and Glaus at 3rd! HERE WE COME WORLD SERIES!

Woah

let’s not go crazy talk

What a great victory!!

Congrats Braves…hope Wagner is okay

Memo to everyone who quit after Burrell's 3 run HR tonight:

Go suck a dick.
 
Your lack of loyalty will be remembered.

i joined in well after the burrell HR. I’m kind of the anti-bandwagon

You’ve been around all year.

NEVER GIVE UP!

Especially on THIS team.

For reals

1st inning and the game is over? Fuck that.

Hey guys, remember the last time Farnsworth pitched for us in the playoffs?

Yeah, thought so. :-D

He’s lying in wait…..he has bigger plans this time……something involving game 7 of a World Series……

I am so goddamn excited. What a classic game.

The only thing marring it is Billy’s injury. :(

that bottom of the 11th was scary, but we win. go braves. I hope B Wags is OK. Our bullpen is our biggest strength right now.

This amount of injuries is unreal. Chipper, Prado, Heyward, Saito, Glaus, JJ, escobar… really?

These Braves love to come from behind…

BEST. GAME. EVER.

Are you kidding me?
 
1995 Game 6 comes to mind.

BEST. GAME. IN 5 YEARS

Best game SINCE 1995 Game 6.

Also, 1992 Game 7...but yes, best game in recent memory
Really?

Posey strapping on his pads for thirty seconds? Relevance?

HEART

Heart.

for the record, i didn't come on the thread until the 7th inning...
LOL...

Me neither.

I wasn't willing to jinx it until we tied it up.
lol i didn't say anything about it until just now...

i was on right when we tied it though. and if i bring any luck at all, i’ll be in atl sunday and monday ;-)

How big was Troy's DP

WoW! Loved how the guys stepped up tonight!

That's the play of the game

No doubt.

That bigger than the homer even, IMO. When he turned to 2nd I thought it was over.

But that bomb was also friggin epically large.

I just wanna see a replay

Of Lee’s fistpump over and over and over..

Seriously

A GIF of that is necessary.

It was. Finally TBS got off of the Giants balls long enough to spotlight Glaus & Rick.

I’m sure it felt great for Glaus to get out there in the field during a big moment.

Not the broadcast crew. Just the postgame guys.

Ugh, Dick. Ugh.

That’s what she said.

Ahahaha

DP=double penetration

....Good job
Being a perv

is like breathing to me

Twilight Zone

when Ankiel offense + Farnsworth pitching + Glaus defense win a game

I had 12 heart attacks in extras alone
If you told me Tommy was going to pitch poorly, Cain would pitch great and....

we would still win, I would tell you that you must be smoking PCP.

2 Cheers for CHINO!!!

Not sure we make the DP if conrads in the game…

Cox needs to be ejected every game.

that's called next year.
Scary thing is.....we could be up 2-0 in the series now.

Game 1 is 0-0 in my opinion

I think last night’s game would’ve gone similarly to tonight’s. We would’ve plated a couple against their bullpen.

Absolutely. Their BP is not close to ours.

So is the series 1-0-1

In our favor?

Ankiel Glaus Farnsworth lead Braves to playoff win

in other news, peace declared in the middle east, the jersey shore kids to attend harvard next fall, and republicans admit global warming exists

LMAO...

just looked outside and saw a pig flying by my window. He said he was on his way to hell for a ski trip because it apparently just froze over.

I want to give Ankiel a smooch.
 
On the cheek though. NO tongue.

You’re not folling anyne.

I would like to give Ankiel a kiss on the cheek

but I’m afraid it would beat me up

He has nice cheekbones in all honesty.

F You

I’m going for the tongue tonight.

How weird is it that with all of that flopping going on around 2nd base that we didn't have an error in this game.
Loved that look into the dugout as Ankiel HIT the pitch....

(watching post game now)

How ridiculous you would have sounded last October...

To imagine Alex Gonzalez, Rick Ankiel, and Melky Cabrera celebrating a playoff win in shallow left…

BTW

Bochy was absolutely right to bring in Wilson, didn’t work, but right choice.

His track record in 2+ is actually really good over the last two years.

0 ER in like ten or so appearances.

I have a question for Bruce.
 
“Which bullpen would you rather have. Atlanta’s or yours?”

That double play in the 10th reminded me of the play that Wes Helms made in the NLDS against the Astro's a lonnnngg time ago
I thought that was Walt Weiss?
It was Weiss.
Yep, thats the one! knew it started with a W.
That play was freakin awesome!!
Yes it was.

If I remember correctly (which I probably don’t) it was bases loaded nobody out in the bottom of the 9th and the series was tied 1-1. Very similar situation.

I'm pretty sure they were loaded.

I remember he dove to his right, to get the ball but nothing after that. I just recall it being incredible that he got he ball, cuz it was hit so hard. Now you’re making me want to find it on you tube.

Won’t be on YouTube, MLB deletes everything because apparently they don’t want to generate interest in their sport.

I think after he made the stop he went home for the first out, and they doubled up at first. Either that or he got the force at home then they got a double play on the next ball maybe.

Troy Glaus made me look like a dipshit tonight.

Did you forget they bunted on him twice in a row?

Doesn’t matter. That DP validated everything.

SOMEONE GET A GIF of the HR
I want one of the DP
both!

they’re gonna be like breams slide and wohlers celebration on the mound

Showing ankiel pitching for the cardinals on MLB now...
every giant/phils/mets fan

not watching the recap.

I'm to excited to sleep now, and I have no one to ravage.
You get almost as much credit as Ankiel

I think that may be the first time I’ve ever had a comment greened :-)

Your graphics have never been?

Yeah, graphics but nothing I said. :-)

that’s awesome and tragic

ravage eh? haha
My thoughts exactly. ;)
What a random time for Proct to show haha
Playoffs, baby.

I was around yesterday, too.

That bomb was Bondsesque
Every time I see that HR

It blows my mind. That ball was so crushed.

I also loved right after it happened they showed the dugout.

TP was in the front of the frame and as soon as that ball came off the bat he turned away from the hit, to the guy next to him and started celebrating. That ball was literally no doubt demolished.

(obviously, I mean there was literally no doubt, that it was figuratively demolished)

He killed it. God if he could only make more contact. He's def got some power.

We all knew he had power. He just can’t make contact.

i was just reminded of the person that commented earlier that Ankiel isn't a major league hitter
We just scored the first runs off the Giants' bullpen since August.
And not the last.

Fan Confidence Poll time baby!

we win with heyward like poop

heyward starts hitting? all over boys

I hope this win energizes the team and they all start hitting.

They looked better at the plate as the night went on

Crazy that the bullpen is so amazing even without EOF or Saito
+1

EOF comes back with Wags out?

BC said he's out for the season.

I’d bet on Saito

Saito's probably more likely

I dont think EOF is healthy

What a team

So many great storylines tonight

JJ replace Wags?
Doubt it.

Saito was no further away, and JJ doesn’t have the relief experience.

I say Proctor
What about Marek? Did he ever come up?
nope
Damn. Is Proctor healthy? Otherwise we have no other pitching options do we?
I hope so

I personally like Proctor when he’s healthy. He won me over in ST, then got injured and went downhill.

3 months ago I said that Ankiel had a vicious swing and that one of these days he would hit a ball a mile

Took ya long enough ;)

Wags injury is an oblique

probably done

I nominate Craig Kimbrel for closer in NLDS/NLCS/WS 2010.

Yep

We’ll be fine

Per Bobby Cox

Where’s JerBear when we need him?

leaning toward dlower
I'm sorry for doubting you, Rick Ankiel

Please forgive me……..

Let’s not expect this from him forever.

It's ok

Everyone will hate him again come Sunday

DOUBLE PLAY HIGHLIGHT:

http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=12783833&topic_id=14873328&c_id=mlb

ANKIEL HOME RUN HIGHLIGHT:

http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=12783913&topic_id=14873328&c_id=mlb

This is one of the longest HR's I've had the privilege to see!
seriously.

It almost made it to oakland…

This picture

gives me a headache. WTF is going on?

Never gets old
This is hilarious!
Well, it's nearly 2AM and I have full day tomorrow.

Gonna scoot.

And… I’m so glad our team has a much better plane ride home than it could have been.

Maybe this WIN, this WAY, will let them relax and enjoy the next 2 games at home in friendly ATL.

my first two games of the season :-)

good night! go braves!

Yep me too

Good Night

seagulls everywhere

how do they keep them away during game

THIS THREAD IS HUNTED!!!!!
All on the field and shit

If Turner Field is not sold out the next 2 games, every single Georgian deserves ridicule for their apathy.
 
GET IT DONE, ATLANTA!

I know

I have to be 8 hours away…

If I had the money

My ass would be on a plane to Georgia.
 
No PTO, no money makes me a sad cowboy.

Already sold out

Although they released some standing room seats.

While I abhor the Chop, it needs to be in full force all evening long Sunday.

agreed on both accounts
Glad to hear it. SO we don't have to hear the announcer whine about attendance all damn game.
Whoever needs tickets

go to Stub Hub. TRUST me, I got $60 seats for $20

standing room only for sunday

this win should effectively fill up the rest. hell, i’m driving up from gainesville as soon as the uf/lsu game is over! So don’t limit it just to georgians

Well goodnight guys. I have to wake up in 4 hours for work. What a sweet victory!

I’m guessing the San Fran streets are pretty quiet tonight.

Is it just me?

Or is Ron Gant holding back tears? No joke.
