Once Acuna flied out with the bases loaded, I knew it was over. On the plus side, I did get a good night's sleep.
Kudos to you for hanging in there until the seventh inning. The Atlanta fans started walking out of Truist in the fourth during the second game. (A game they actually won, by some miracle). No one noticed, of course. Braves fans are quiet as church mice even at their rowdiest.

You REALLY want to go this route when we are comparing to ATLANTA?

In other words, the Phillies are a better team when it counts. The Phillies and the Braves had identical records the last month of the season, I guess that means the Braves are "irrelevant" too...wait, that part is actually true. BTW, that WC series made it so the Braves got to throw their Ace twice while the Phillies could only use their's once. Whatsmore, Fried would never have been able to pitch if the post season started earlier. So, you're welcome for the boost the format gave you. Nice job taking advantage of it, by the way. Also, just think about how good the Astros must have been last year to "overcome" the burden of being able to line up their pitching and resting their injured players. They won the World Series. :lol:

Okay so its just a coincidence the 3 best teams all year long forgot all how to hit at exactly the same time...and it just so happened they all had a week off...okay sure

:lol: Did they forget how to pitch too? The Braves got full of themselves because they won ten more games in April and May then their opponents and their milquetoast fans started calling them “the best team ever in the history of baseball ever.” Houston managed to keep themselves humble last year and won the World Series going away. They “overcame” the “disadvantage” of being able to line up their best pitching and rest their injured and tired players. It’s amazing how Braves fans are trying to make excuses for these posers. Their porn star Ace pitched twice in four games and they were able to start their No. 2 off an injury because of the days off. Yet somehow they manage to whine about that being the cause of the choke.

Pitching wasn't our problem other than G3....3, 4, and 3 runs in the other games....if our offense even remotely shows up, we win the series...

Frankly if you look at the top regular season teams, the Braves actually overachieved in the playoffs :lol:

Top 5 teams were the Braves, Orioles, Dodgers, Rays, and Brewers. Braves were the only team that managed to win a game! Yay. A combined 1-13 for these five teams in the postseason. I don't think there is anything unique to the Braves, its just the way it goes in baseball.

The Phillies tied a record by hitting six home runs in the third game, but “pitching wasn’t a problem.” :lol: One thing I’ll say about Gator fans is that unlike Braves fans we don’t make excuses for the poor performance of the team. This is embarrassing. Your team played bad. They choked. They were given every advantage imaginable and they still swallowed dick.

Out of curiousity..why do we have Phillies fans? Braves I get cause of the florida connection but not philly
:facepalm:

Because "Florida" is effectively Dubai... 1% Floridians, 99% Expats.

I've lived in San Fran, Atlanta, and Florida... if you think I pulled for any non-Detroit team other than the Gators, you're a fool.

That’s what I like about Atlanta—no bad areas riddled with poverty and violence.

Side note: at the 2:45 mark, I think that might be my cooler on the porch. I had one just like that and have not seen it since our summer camping trip.

A better question might be "Why do we have Braves fans?" These people seem to exist simply to make embarrassing excuses for underperforming posers. It's likely most of them have never set foot in Atlanta, they probably became "fans" as some sort of redneck comic relief because the games came on after they got done cackling hysterically at Gilligan's Island every night on TBS.
