Shockjock! Ol’Kincaide loves to make less than popular statements, so we are talking about him instead of the play on the field. Bet 680 and Kincaide love that a Hall of Famer did listen to them.

From what I’m gathering here from the comments, 680 The Fan made the criticisms of the Braves’ Tuesday night celebration? You’re kidding me! They’re one of the flagship stations in the Braves Radio Network!! This is why I wish WSB Radio still carried Braves’ games! And to think I had started listening to 680 during my evening drive-time commutes. That MIGHT just begin changing now.

Chipper’s right! CELEBRATE!!! It was a hard-earned achievement. And they achieved their first goal to get a playoff spot. Now they’re trying to see if they can change the outcome of the NL East division final standings or not. The naysayers always have to complain about something. DON’T listen to them!

Have fun in the playoffs, Bravos. And……GO, BRAVES!!!!!

Loved watching them celebrate their victory, it was like washing off the catastrophe of last year and celebrating rejuvination this season brought. Now hopefully our boys Dan and Brian can shake off their regular season struggles and amp up for the post-season.

Kris is pitching against this one game play-off, then we’ll be ready to take on the Nats! We’re surging, they’re slumping (some)….let’s do this!

Maybe as fans we were embarrassed how they celebrated, with the 1 game playoff the only guaranteed game. At least the Giants and Reds know they have a 5 game series.

I was there Tuesday and I didn’t want to leave. I wanted to party too. We get so few times in life where we take time to celebrate. Criticising the celebration for making the playoffs is ridiculous. They are a great team, they’ve dealt with adversity all year and they are going to the playoffs. There is no luck involved here. It doesn’t mean they aren’t trying to win the division or anything larger. They are just taking time to recognise achievements accomplished, they washed off last year in an ocean of champagne.

Now go win the Division, the League and the Series!

Chipper has it right! Wouldn’t it be fantastic for the Braves to win it all and send Chipper off to the Hall of Fame as King of the Hill! I have followed this team over 20 years and I would not bet against them to win it all. I think Chipper would make a great manager someday. I may be a Mets fan but I admire the Braves and their organization. A class act!

BTW Kincaid, stop saying “no questions asked” after every other statement you make. The correct cliche is “no question about it.”

“No questions asked” is what you say to a shady character you’re paying to do your dirty work. Saying that makes you sound stupid.

I was listening yesterday when Buck and Kincaid were talking about the celebration. Buck was OK with it, but Kincaid, regardless of what he may really think, was in his obvious “little boy…provocation…stir the pot” mode. He’s a class A JERK! Always has been and always will be…at least as it relates to his opinion of all Atlanta sports teams. Unfortunately, our society listens to his crap (me included) thereby requiring 680 to keep him on the air for ratings. How else could an idiot from Philly who constantly degrades the Braves, Falcons, and Hawks stay on the air. Jeez…what a job.

Buck may not be the freshest crayon in the box, but he’s a die-hard homer, and that’s why they paired him with that miserable, carpet-bagging, south-hating yankee. Arguments = ratings. No questions asked.

@ChipperDaddy. You are an idiot. I am curious, what would a player of Chippers caliber should make? Lifetime Brave; clubhouse leader; lifetime .304 batting average; 8 or 9 time all star, MVP, Can still play with the best of them at 40 years of age. Tell me, what are your qualifies you to say what Chipper should and shouldnt make. Living inyour mommas basement and being the commisioner of your fantasy league probably doesnt count. Btw, I think your mom has your peanut butter and jelley sandwich made with the crust cut off.

Kincaid, ever wonder why so many of Atlanta’s sports-talk radio personalities are from the north? I’ll bet you think it’s because you’re better talkers than we southerners are.

Well keep talking, big-mouth. You may be better at talking about sports, but southerners are better at playing them.

The SEC absolutely RULES college football.

Ever notice how many professional baseball players came from the south?

On the Braves alone, Heyward, McCann and Ross are from Georgia, Chipper and Pastornicky are from Florida, Hudson and Kimbrell are from Alabama, Sheets is from Louisiana, Bourn is from Texas, Maholm is from Mississippi, Uggla and Venters are from Kentucky, and Minor and Gearrin are from Tennessee.

None of the Braves except Varvaro (NJ) are from the northeast. None are from Pennsylvania.

None of the Phillies are from the northeast, either, except Kratz (PA).

Southerners play ball. Northeasterners talk about it. No questions asked.

6 (Cox) would have won at least 4 more World Series if he had a closer like Kimbrel.

The Braves kept bringing in marginal guys or guys that other teams had discarded to close. Now they are doing that very same thime with the bench with Baker, Overbay, and the like.

Lay off of 6!!!

And when I was finally run out of town for the small crime of being terrible at my job, I was there for him when he suffered that terrible emotional and mental breakdown. John is doing so much better now. But you can’t expect him to process information like a normal person. I hope that he recovers to that extent some day. But we’re not there yet.

That was as much relief as it was celebration. You know they saw that shadow lurking in the back of the dugout.

A Celebration of a Season of Vindication and Retribution! That is what that was, and it was well deserved! How well I remember those same faces and the expressions that were displayed last year at this time. The Boys of Atlanta deserve everything they have this year. They deserve all the accolades that will come their way. They Earned Them. Why? Simple: they learned from their mistakes. (BTW, I am a Philly native, Born and Raised, but I live in Atlanta now, and have been rooting for the Braves since 1989. Remember, Worst To First?)
