Seeing them war path chanting 7 runs up at MMP at the end did make respect the ATL fans a tad less though.

BTW did I hear some Lets Go Brandon mixed in tonight?

@catfish1957

It doesn't bother me. They're excited and happy for their team. I get it. I will say this, though. IF I HAVE TO HEAR THAT CHANT ONE MORE TIME, I'M GOING TO HURL! I liked it the first 136 times I heard it (in the playoffs), but from that 137th time on, it became pukeworthy. OVERKILL, Y'ALL!

I didn't get to hear the Brandon thing. I was multitasking, trying to keep up with the elections while watching the game, texting, and reading/posting on the live thread here. I'm sleeping in tomorrow. Brain's fried. Heart's broke. I'm a teetotaler, so I can't dull my pain. On the plus side, I do have a little dog who's company is comforting.

I viewed it as analagous of say we were winning a WS clinching game 15-0 on a no hitter and our fans start that chant that  in ridicule.   Pretty classless from my POV.

Put on the Game 5 the other night in Atlanta.  Top of the damned 1st inning, they started piping in "The Chant"...had to immediately watch it without sound.  ENOUGH ALREADY!!

Last night was the first inning of baseball I'VE WATCHED IN TWO YEARS and will only say that batting practice pitchers and silent bats will do you in no matter what level you are playing at.

And Max Fried did it all after a very large man stomped on his leg.

@Polly Ticks

I'm not sure I'd call Michael Brantley a very large man, but that was truly a scary moment. I'm so thankful he wasn't injured, even though he ended up having his way with us. I never want to win at the expense of someone's well being.

Again, congrats and enjoy your celebrations!

6'2" and 210 lbs on a full run ... close enough!  Yeah, definitely terrifying.  I was having flashbacks to Tim Hudson's (regular season) injury a few years ago. 

I'm with you, I just HATE seeing any of them getting injured, my team or any other.

In texting with my cousin, I mentioned how skinny the pitcher was. When that happened, we were both cringing. Could have been worse if it had been Yordan Alvarez. Best case scenario in a situation like that would have been Altuve!  :silly:

Congrats Bryce Harper! God bless you! I hope and pray this bolds well for the NL MVP voting!  I'm happy the Cubs, Dodgers, Yankees, and Mets held their wallets and passed on him three years ago. He has been just a joy to watch.  He is the type of guy who you tell your grandkids. At Cooperstown decades from now, I watched him play!

And congrats ,Shohei Otani! He deserves to win as well the Al MVP! I bought the MLB tv subscription to watch this man hit and one week. He was hitting homers all week. He put up monster numbers without much support. All he had was Jared Walsh.

Yes, their pitching is deadly. The pitching coach needs to get a  raise.

Congratulations to the Braves.
They did an amazing job.

I am disappointed that the Astros didn't win.
To be honest, I am more disappointed that there will be no more baseball until the springs.
Even after the 2017 World Series, I was happy, but the next day, I felt the same disappointment.

Okay, so I am weird like that.

Can't complain about the run the Astros have been on.
5 straight ACLS appearances, 3 American League championships and 1 World Championship.
Will it continue?
Owner Jim Crane says that as long as he is the owner, they will be competitive.
They have had a top 5 payroll since 2017.
That doesn't always equate to wins, just ask the Dodgers/Yankees, but it does mean it won't be for lack of spending.
The one negative is that they do not sign more than 5 year deals.
Altuve got a 7 year deal, but, hey, it's Altuve.

Manfred must be quickly approaching Gary Bettman as most hated commissioner in the major sports. Even ahead of Roger Goodell.

Once, again congrats to the braves! Now in free agency, I want Starling Marte, Max Scherzer, and Corey Seager! The past six years. The Mets, Nats, and Braves. All advanced to the world series. And that stings. For the past decade, we missed the playoffs. I'm not going to lie. I'm a little disappointed we are not going after Bryant. The guy would put up monster numbers here. Watch the Mets sign him. I'd boo him every at-bat!

Too bad Freddie Freeman is skipping town right after the celebration.  He could have spent his entire HOF career with one team, like Chipper Jones, and been well-compensated (albeit not at the astronomical price he is demanding).  His salary is liable to become an albatross wherever he goes, and the fans will not be forgiving.

Respectfully disagree.

He's at, a level as a HOF player and an age where 1 years contracts are in his favor.

Any half dozen or so teams who "...missed it by 'that' much" would venture into a deal. 

That Yankee Stadium short right field porch is beckoning.   :laugh:
