“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.” Bravesfaninwis
Oh, shove it, child. Sounds like Honey Boo Boo’s got more intelligence than you. I know I’m not a failure, I have a great job, great life. I can say more than don’t be a fan, boy, but I’m not going to risk getting banned. Someone get that boy his pacifier, before he breaks something. We’re all pissed, but many of us know they CAN come back from this.

Was that the last at bat for Chipper Jones in his career? It will take a rally to get him up again.
Jon Heyman @JonHeymanCBS
chipper grounded out, ending threat. feeling is more larry than chipper at the moment. #cards lead, 6-3.
This is a great way for Chipper to end his career… not saying that if not for the error we win, but that sure sucked away the momentum

Two in scoring position…HOF Chipper, whose error led to two / three runs…spits it out on the first pitch….Another memory bank moment, for Chipper’s last at bat. One hell of a way to end your career. You had your shot…you couldn’t do anything with it. Sad.

Just for fun, I decided to look up Chipper’s career playoff stats. .288 BA, 13 HR, 47 RBI.
Also, I found out that this was Chipper’s first playoff game since 2005. Hadn’t thought about it before.

When we really need Chipper to do something he comes up short. He’s supposed to be the veteran providing leadership in these situations, but instead his shakiness has got the whole team playing nervous baseball.

Other than Ross, the whole team sh!t themselves today. Even Medlen wasn’t as “on”. Any other start this year, he finds a way to get out of that inning without 3 runs scoring. It was a horrible 2 strike pitch to Holliday on the HR making it 4-2. So don’t cry for medlen. He failed as well, but only because of the high standards he set for himself.
Oh well.
But Ross was the only one who realized how big the game was….. and actually stepped up.

Chipper could have atoned for the error right there. Not the best way to go out. I love watching him play but I won’t ever forget his performance tonight.

This is simply a team that has NO winning aura. Yes, they won 90something games, however, it had that ‘walk on a very thin line’ feel to it all year long. A bit like when they made it a couple years ago with Glaus and co. They always choke in the big games…
Chipper swing at first pitch in the 7th with runners on 2nd and 3rd is perfect illustration.

We all talked about how we would win but deep down we knew we would lose. Nothing clutch from this team in 20 years. To be honest, we are lucky as hell to have the one title that we do. Was born here 42 years ago and the Falcons, Braves and Hawks continue to screw me over and will continue to do so. Curious to see how the Falcons will break my heart this year. These are my teams and this is my life.
