DOB got your post game question ready?
1. Fredi – why did you call a squeeze?
2. Chipper – do you feel your error changed the game? braves never recovered?
3. Uggla – you batted crap all year and again choke on the big stage with an easy grounder. Will you earn your money next year?
4. Kimbrel – After which error did you start packing your gear, ready to go home?
5. Kimbrel – did you really expect to pitch tonight? you must have known your teammates wuld choke again?

2 years in a row the Cards are going to make the NLDS solely because of the braves. Last year it was the epic collapse, this year it’s 4 unearned runs
team is just too nice

It’s the fans’ fault…ever hear the “fool me once, shame on you…fool me twice, shame on me.” How many times are we going to be fooled as fans? We’re the one’s that keep lining up to go to games and pay money…well maybe not us right now on the blog…I wasn’t stupid enough to pay to go see the annual crapfest, but we are all to blame.

Amen CTB. Chipper has given us years of great moments. One error will not change that.

Maybe the infield made a pact to make a bunch of errors so that we would focus on their errors and Chipper didn’t get remembered as the cause for the braves loss at 3-2.
Instead they blew it open with poor play so that we figure Chipper’s error wouldn’t matter anyway.

Seriously, all the homers come on here and all they can say is “dont be a fan then” really? Maybe you all don’t get disappointed because you all are use to failure yourselves. If you all aren’t pissed off, then you have no f’n business being on here calling other people out. So just shut the hell up.

No, clearly the Cards are not a better team…I will never agree that one game can determine that. Clearly the Cards are leading and haven’t made as many defensive errors…errors that are rare for the Braves. Let’s keep it real.

Braves#17 fan, I’m still watching the game, and still pulling for the team, and just got done saying that without another run this inning I don’t like our chances. Maybe you haven’t been watching the Braves for all that long, but we’ve been through this routine far too often, and it will be really disappointing to see it happen again. Is that better for substance?

Typical Fredii/Bobby Managing. BOurne on first with no outs in the third and never attempts to steal becasue they are scared of Molina. Then he orders a safety squeeze with a slow runner on third and the pitcher on deck.
There is no suitable explanation for that squeeze call but typical passive approach to the game. Let Bourne run, if he gets thrown out tip your hat to the catcher! Just brutal.
