I expect something like "Please get off the ledge. . . " or "Put the pills down" or "At least you are in a irrelevent sport. . . I mean hell . you could be the BILLS!!!" Rocket River
Well when Bobby Cox & John Smoltzy come up with things to say like, "that was one for the ages. It's just too bad we came up on the wrong end of the score," then I have respect for their organization. Of course, they have their fair share of idiots too. But I don't hate the Braves.
Smoltz is certaily a class act, and he is not alone as far as classy guys in the Atl organization. That being said, I *hate* the #@$*&*%& Braves!!!! Favorite baseball team: Astros 2nd favorite: whoever's playing the Braves Same goes for the Mess, Jazzholes, Knicks, Fakers, and Cowturds. Hate 'em all.
Excellent! Nice hating, msn! Doesn't it feel great to let out all hatred? It does for me. I hate all of those, too!
I would hate to be in their position for 10 years straight to make the playoffs with potential and left with nothing. At the same time, I would not take it out on Bobby Cox and their management. Their players screwed it up, and MAYBE they weren't fired up and reassured the right way, but it's far from being the management's faults. I just read some of their posts because I usually like to have an assessment of how fans react to losses. I find this very funny: "Just had another thought: What planet was the designer of Minute Maid Park on when they decided to make that jacked up outfield?? My God, don’t mind that hill in center field, and if your brave enough to climb that hill watch out for a friggin flagpole strategically placed at the top." At any rate, I do wish that we as Astros fans would show more class than to rub it in their faces. I would rather have their fans know that we are a classy bunch because we actually represent our team. No one likes to be on the losing end, so why do we want more people rooting for the Cardinals?
I was feeling particularly genial while watching this series. And it's hard to hate them too much when 1. We beat them 2. They lost in such a heartbreaking fashion 3. None of their players did anything too infuriating. Hell, every word out of Chipper Jones' mouth in every interview he did was prasing our players. Talking about how scary it is to face Oswalt, what a legend Clemens is, what a great guy Bagwell is. I say, tough luck Braves. But I don't hate them. Not this time around, anyway. If you had asked me last year, I'd be saying the same stuff as a lot of y'all. I just hope that from this point on, the rivalry can continue to develop into something a little less one-sided (as in the years before these last two) and ultimately classy. Shouldn't be too hard.
LOL......truer words my friend The Braves have a great farm system and they have been a rival of ours for years. Having said that, they still suck and the loss couldn't have happened to a nicer team. After all those heartbreak years losing to them in the first round, watching Maddox and Schmultz make our hitters look like t-ballers.....ugh I thought beating them last year on their home turf was exciting but we out did that this year in spades. The only thing that would have made that win sweeter would have been for Clemens to hit the game winning homer.....LOL We still owe the freakin' Padres a payback... freakin' Kevin Brown
