Braves Lose Again--Argh

[wetwilly]

Sorry, almost missed the baseball thread!!!
I too am sorry the Braves lost - I would have like to beat them in the next round!!!! I love October!!!

No doubt in my mind (NDIMM) if the Braves won yesterday's game and eventually the NLDS, the celebration would have been brief because unless devine intervention occurred thte Braves would not be able to beat the Cards. So, the Astros/Cards series is going to be a agood one. Great pitching on both teams but the Cards have a few more bats so I see them in the WS.

Now we need the Yanks to lose so we can enjoy the WS this year.

We were so confident that the Braves had this game in the bag that we headed out to Shlafly's Bottleworks (a local St. Louis pub/brewery/eatery) and enjoyed a couples of bottles of wine outdoors

We have visited Shlafly a few times during trips to STL - Yummy Beer!!!!

I remember when the Braves were so bad that I would see bumper stickers around ATL stating, "Go Braves, and take the Falcons with you!" I noticed today, while in the Red Bar, the Braves were on TV on one side of the room and the Falcons were on the opposing TV. Anyone want to tell me which season it is currently? Way too much hoopla about unimportant stuff.

SJ I remember those stickers too. Also remember going to the old Atlanta Fulton County Stadium with 1500 or so of my closest friends to watch the ame and heckle the Bruce Benedict (the catcher in those days) from behind home plate. I would rather see them win 80-100 games a season and make the playoffs than see them slide back to that kinda team.

It looks like the Braves and Falcons at least have teams of respectability and now just need to push themselves alittle harder to get to the next level of a world championship. The Thrashers are looking good but the Hawks are toast before the beginning of each season. Where is Dominique Jr when you need him?

Maybe the Hawks need to change to black uniforms like the Falcons?

I also recall when you could go into a bank for whatever reason, and as a courtesy gift, the teller would give you a couple of complimentary Braves tickets. They have come a long way.

Oh yeah! My favorite there is the Rasberry Hefeweizen; you can't taste the rasberry and it's not sweet, but somehow the rasberry takes away the bitterness and aftertaste. Yum!
