    Let’s go Braves. Make this World Series the matchup everybody wants to watch.

    Astros proved that MLB is the biggest cheaters and Astros are the scapegoats!

    Screw the Dodgers!

    Carlos needed a grand slam...not a single. That's too bad he didn't get it.

    Obviously much further than any reasonable expectations after Verlander, Alvarez, and Osuna went down. Didn’t win a championship but shut up a lot of the haters by getting this far and that’s a solid accomplishment.

    My only request now is that no one come to the press conference wearing a #!#@ Boras hat.

    Disappointing but still proud of the team to persevere during this very difficult season. Want them to do all they can to keep Brantly and Springer and see what they can do with a full season hopefully.

    If any fans of other teams talk **** remember to tell them they just finished watching us play and we'll see them next year. Especially if they are Ranger fans.

    That's what I thought too, initially, but the had the shift on and the 3B playing about 10 steps into the IF

    Did Tampa Bay even score any runs that were not off of homeruns? Maybe one run?

    Just totally went away from the approach that got them back into the series. Rays make you pay for walks and poor execution at the plate.

    Well, we lost the Cy Young award winner, our ace and 2nd best pitcher in the league, our closer, had bullpen of Rookies, were the last of 16 teams to make the playoffs, and we were one game away from the series.

    I can't be mad. But the fact that they gave me hope makes it sting a little more.

    They should tell the team in the locker room what pieces of sh*t they were and that they are sorry. Reddick can join them.

    I’m going for the Braves all the way because I have absolutely zero attachment to them in one way or another. But anyone other than the Dodgers in fine too.

    Or makes a statement that “technically, they don’t
    work for the Astros anymore....”

    Damn.

    I am proud of this team, but not getting a couple of runs across in the 6th and 7th was killer. Then Bregman ******** the bed in the 8th.

    We needed a miracle at the end, and we just ran out of juice. It's a bummer that our bats never really woke up the entire series. We should have taken one of the first 3 games just on chance, but the Rays had so much luck on their side. It was beautiful to come back from 0-3, but once we forced a game 7 then we had everything to lose again (as fans), and that was demoralizing to lose in 7 two years in a row now

    I am praying to the lord that the Braves win tomorrow, bc I can't root for the Dodgers, but having to root for this gimmick Rays team will give me Crohn's disease. I am all in on the Braves now.

    Lance is never going to be the pitcher you want in a must-win game. Morton is the exact opposite as you would always want him in a must-win game.
