NLDS 2010: Giants vs. Braves

What are your predictions?

[bscottskangum]

Giants in 4

[MedicCook]

Braves in 5. Sorry Darrell.

[Powers]

Bobby Cox in 5. :2

As a Braves fan I can tell you this though, we have the most errors of any team in the NL since the All-Star brake. For the Braves to win we must play solid defense cause neither the Braves or Giants are offensive juggernauts

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

Giants in 5

[Whee]

We're all winners here, D.:r

[VirtualSmitty]

Braves in five.

[forgop]

Since a cousin is married to one of the starting pitchers for Atlanta, I'm pulling for Atlanta. However, I'm not getting my hopes up as his run support throughout his career has been less than desirable.

Must be talking about Tommy Hanson

Nope...now you have a 1/4 chance of getting it right. Same initials though. :D

Does it rhyme w/Lim Sudson :D

I plead the 5th. ;)

[The Poet]

Braves spat the bit in the '90s. Braves spat the bit in the '00s. But the Giants have spat the bit ever since that earthquake game, so I gotta go with Hot 'Lanta in five.

[kelmac07]

Love to see 'em win for Bobby...but this one goes to the Giants. :2

[Darrell]

I see the Giants in 5.

[Darrell]

First pitch @ 630 PM.

I KNEW if I tried really, really hard I could find something I didn't like about you, Albert. :r

Nobody's perfect, but as a Giants fan you already knew that :p

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

#12 for Tim:tu

[Darrell]

He set a new record with 12 K's thrown in a post season game in Giants history.

[forgop]

Atlanta couldn't even muster a single run. Big shocker there.:rolleyes:

[Darrell]

Man, Tim was throwing so much heat last night. It's hard to muster a run when he's pitching like that.

GO GIANTS!!!!!

[Powers]

Good game 1 gentlemen. Braves had a solid showing with our pitching as well. Looking forward to game 2 :tu

Didn't catch much of the game, but the runner was out at 2nd which made all of the difference in a 1-0 game in regulation.

To advance in the post season in any sport u gotta get some breaks. Hopefully a couple will fall the Braves way

Not complaining about it. No better than the bats have been for Atlanta, they didn't really even deserve to make it to the playoffs because of pitching.

[kelmac07]

Actually...14 K's and he looked GREAT!!! :tu

[awsmith4]

What a game, that guy could pitch!

Looking forward to Game 2

[forgop]

Actually...14 K's and he looked GREAT!!! :tu

And his hair is so dreamy!

Yeah, I posted that before he was done. :r

I heard he can hook up a phat sack if needed too. :r :r :r :r :r

No seeds or stems !!

Giants are looking good so far:tu

Better than the white sox ;)

Crazy how everything comes full circle. Pat Burrell as a Phillie always killed the Braves

Yeah it's too bad the White Sox didn't make the playoffs:r:r

[Powers]

Great game gentlemen. Going to Atlanta where we have the best home record in the MLB and give our ace, Tim Hudson, the start. Should be interesting :tu

The TBS announcers suck a big one btw :2

[awsmith4]

Go Braves!!!!

:noon

[Montano]

Giants fell apart last night :(

Looks like this series is gonna be fun !!

[Darrell]

Good grief, they fell apart bad. :td

[forgop]

Good grief, they fell apart bad. :td

Flipped around and saw a 4-1 score and thought there was no way Atlanta would overcome that, so I changed the channel. This can only mean that Huddy will get no run support tomorrow, not that it will be anything new at all.

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

The Giants will win one in Atlanta, and win the series at home:2

[Montano]

I like how you think :tu

[Powers]

These are two interesting paragraphs from a good article on ESPN.com about the game last night:

In the final moments of the most important game of the season, the contest that would most likely determine whether legendary manager Bobby Cox's career would still have a chance to extend past the first round of the playoffs, the Atlanta Braves' infield featured the third-string third baseman, the second-string second baseman and the team's seventh-best reliever.

And even if the Braves somehow managed to escape a precarious bases-loaded one-out situation against the San Francisco Giants and push the game into an 11th inning, they would only manage to send the dreaded bottom part of the lineup to bat, a unit that included a well-traveled former pitcher turned hitter [Ankiel] who only was in the starting lineup because the two guys in front of him on the depth chart had not hit a lick.

[forgop]

Braves hitters suck. Through 7 innings, Huddy has the only hit. No run support has been the story of his career though.

[Starscream]

Great game so far.

[bobarian]

Torture! But The Beard is back! :banger:banger

[Powers]

I feel sick

[hotreds]

I feel sick

You and most Braves fans! Horrid loss!

[Montano]

Yeah Baby !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SouthernSmoke]

That was a horrid final inning. I don't agree with Bobby's first pitcher change. Then Conrad's 3 errors resulting in 2 runs scored didn't help either. Oh well, there's always tomorrow. Don't count the Bravos out, yet. They haven't looked completely dismal.......:bhd

[kelmac07]

Braves blew a chance to steal one today.

[Montano]

The Giants will win one in Atlanta, and win the series at home:2

Your crystal ball is on point !!

[Darrell]

Fear the beard!

[SouthernSmoke]

I'm convinced he colors that beard.

[Darrell]

Lets Go Giants!!!!!!

[Darrell]

The Giants are headed to the NLCS!!!!!!!! :D

[Powers]

Good series gentlemen.

I'll be rooting for ya'll against the Demon Horde that is the Philadelphia Ph*ckies, i mean Phillies

[longknocker]

Congrats To The Giants!:tu

[awsmith4]

Congrats guys, you out pitched and hit us
