well boys, wagner got us here at least….I dont see him pitching again….tough way to go out
Well, it looks like Farnsworth is going to be responsible for two of the most heartbreaking losses in recent Braves postseason history.
Maybe next year we won’t rely so much on old guys. Remember all the question marks coming into the season? Chipper, Glaus, Saito, Wagner… yeah.
My goodness….
Next year looks bright with Kimbrel, Venters, Dunn, O’Fla, and co.
At least we know what is coming….
Well, that fucking sucks.
#496 – i agree
We’re doomed
HAHAHAHA Don just said “And that will bring Kyle Farnsworth in, and THAT is horrible new for the braves.”
This year started pretty great, but we are obviously star-crossed. How did we even get here?
Farnsworth to do it to us again
here comes Cpt. Straght93mphFastball to save the day.
Yeah, this is bad.
our injuries this year…Heyward, Prado, Chipper, Wagner, Jurrjens, Glaus, Saito, Medlen, EOF, then you add in all the AB’s given to AAG, Melky, Ankiel, and Mclouth…yeah we shouldnt be here
Beachy, Lisp, anyone else
Ooh ooh good. Farnsworth’s fastball is at 89 mph.
I think it hit the bat
lol, I’m totally at peace with what is about to happen.
Well, coulda been worse. Probably will be worse, actually.
Wow the HBP was 94.
please get him out of here
Now this has just turned ugly….
that’s one way to set up the double play…
517—Ditto. The only thing we don’t know is exactly how it happens here.
sdp…I think we all are.
And of course Posey is on deck.
Farnsworth is going to walk the next 2 guys.
Farnsworth vs Huff – it ends here boys
I met Kyle’s brother when he was deployed to Kuwait in 2005-2006. He said that he and Kyle were going to use the MLB money Kyle had saved to open up a gym one day. How I wish that he had decided to do that before now…or in 2005, for that matter…
Ditto squared…
I feel like this isn’t my first prison shower.
the announcers dont do their homework.
That foul ball was a heartstopper.
530 – no they dont
This is like pulling teeth.
This is like the end of Butch Cassidy. Let’s do this!
He is going to walk him and walk one in. That is my prediction
Bite down. Fighting it makes it worse.
534—Perfect!
Eff you umpires.
Looked like a strike to me.
oh good, load em for Posey
Same combination as last night- managerial brain fart + bad call + bad player plays badly = loss.
Extremely shallow fly ball to Melky, who catches it and throws it sideways into Triples Alley.
Farnsworth is a disaster.
hit batsman and a walk – pretty sure the lisp couldve done that Kyle
how does it end? walk, k, homer?
So many possibilities, and none good.
Wow!
GLAUS!
I don’t believe it. We survived.
TROY F*CKING GLAUS!!!
WOW!
TORGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i think our pessimisim is doing the trick.. let’s keep it up.
OH MY GOD YES, I audibly shouted
hell yeah!!!!
WOOT!
Holy shit.
I like watching Derek Lee getting super pumped.
DID THAT JUST HAPPEN? I THINK I SHAT MYSELF!
Conrad/Omar screw that one up
Well, that was unexpected–the good pitching, not the throw. Glaus is the only 3B on the roster. Watch and learn, boys, watch and learn.
A nice surprise….
Now, I wonder when we will here about Wags….
well, on the upside, we may have finally found a 3rd baseman. hopefully its not too late
Holy shit is right. 1 out, bases loaded, Kyle Farnsworth vs. Buster Posey…and we escaped. Suck it, “Prison Break”.
I cant believe Glaus didnt go home, but Ill take it
Stephen, Wags is done. just accept it and move on, it will be easier that way.
I love how low our standards for third base are.
He successfully completed a throw to second — he is our best third baseman.
Funny thing is I thought Glaus should have thrown home first. Worked out well, though.
So that’s nice.
BTW, Adam M. @534 – Perfectly put. Exactly how I felt as well.
did anyone see the batboy there. now he was cool.
yep, Wags is done. Either an oblique or hip injury like Prado, either way his career is over
YES! There is no hope only the bleak abyss waiting to annihilate our souls.
Kyle knew it wouldn’t have been right to lose it with Billy’s runner. He’ll lose it next inning with his own.
Troy has a gold glove in his collection. He is in good shape if it is hit right to him.
Now here comes the hard part, scoring a run.
i’m out of beer…except for one. it’s in a box and it cost 12 dollars for a pint. should i open it?
Glaus, such a disaster defensively…
Renteria can still pick it
Wow… pulled that out of the ass
Hey “Stephen in the UAE”, where in the UAE are you? I live in Dubai… who knew there was another Braves fanatic out here. These late games are sweet because I can actually watch them.
566 – not screwing up a play is a plus for this team, still cant believe he didnt go home
I guess even Troy didnt want to see Kyle face another batter
Glaus is going to win this
The Giants have been RICKROLLED!
ANKLET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANKIEL
Bay shot!!!!!!
RICKY going all Bonds on them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANKIEL!??!?!
2010 World Series MVP!
hit a gapper Ricky
Oh my God, Ankiel splashed?
is this real life? ANKIEL!
i do not believe what i just saw
um who is left in the pen?
Ankiel!!
YESSSSSS ANKIEL!!!!!
Today must be “bad players redeeming themselves” day.
HOLY MOTHER FUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crap. Who’s pitching the 11th?? Fuck.
Speechless.
Oh, please don’t ruin this, Kyle. Please.
But I know you’re going to!
Into the water. Holy hell.
I say again: Holy shit.
hells yeah!!!!
If someone hits Ankiel’s bat with a fastball it just might go out!
KILLED IT
WOW…now, if only we had a good reliever left.
@594, Hahahahaha. *Cries*
God have mercy. That sounded like a shotgun off Ankiel’s bat.
The Lisp and Beachy are left behind Farnsworth, FWIW.
sweet georgia brown home run!!!!!
What’s the odds on Farnsworth holding on?
Geez….I’m stunned
this is why it sucks to pull Hanson so early, well that and the Wagner injury
Big night for our midseason trade acquisitions…Gonzalez, Lee, Ankiel (even Farnsworth is lined up for the W)
3 outs and make the Giants sit on this one for about 36 hrs
BEER#3 HAS ARRIVED!
Burrell is out, so the 5th place hitter, Uribe and then Fat Boy.
A test of nerves ahead….
Twitter US trending topics are “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “Brian Wilson”.
I’m giggling like a school boy.
No, Farnsworth is lined up for the L.
Wagner injury is ginormous now, but we got the weaker side of their lineup
At least we don’t have Posey to worry about…..
I mean…we suck, boo! Melky’s fat!!
Hot damn. Slick Rick comes through.
To be the man, you got to be the man. Whooooooooooooooooo.
Late game gonna make my morning totally unproductive…but hell, I love our chances if we can hold on.
Billy Wags…gosh, I hope you can make it back.
I predict three consecutive homers.
Diory at 3B… good. The Perfesser still pitching… not so much.
Flashbacks to game four of the 2005 NLDS….
No bad calls, no bad calls, no bad calls….whammy!
If we somehow survive tonight, wow. Wagner injury sucks but Venters and Kimbrel are sick so back end of our ‘pen for Sunday is still really good.
Diory at third.
If Farnsworth holds on here, I will never say anything bad about him again. Until he screws up again anyway.
Ill take 3 of those
Wow, I felt sick for a second.
zero chance Farnsworth holds this lead, zero, none…no chance at all. We might as well just walk off the field now. Zero chance….Kyle sucks and will not hold this lead. Even with only 2 outs left, he will not hold this lead. Zero chance
I almost passed out there.
That’s one. 2 and a half to go. (this is the Braves defense)
None. Nada. Zip.
i like the effort, csg.
It is utterly hopeless and no one should say ANYTHING different.
suck it san francisco.
and no. I don’t have a dollar to spare to you, hippie.
Bad karma for Stockton to be reading the credits?
Yep, obviously.
ugh
Here comes the homer.
Agreed. No good can come from Ishikawa pinch-hitting. None at all.
Edit: And Ross always kills us.
Is this guy a Braves killer?
I didn’t think there was any chance Farnsworth would get two outs in a row.
These fly balls are scaring the shit out of me.
The fans are giving me a heart attack.
OMG, that’s two that I thought were gone.
damn. I thought that was gone.
I was petrified for a second there…
Wow that looked good coming off the bat…1 more out.
Dramatic outs.
Oh crap. Walk Cody Ross?
Giants down to their last out. Just in time to break our hearts.
Key-riiist! Farnsworth versus a Braves Killer . . .
i havent chugged a beer in 10 years, but i’m going to if farnsworth gets this last out.
Farns sucks and will not get this last out, he sucks. He cant get Cody Ross out…Braves will lose and Kyle will always suck and not be welcomed back in ATL. Kyle sucks and should become a bat boy
Not Cody Ross. Please no.
Stupid fans. Everything in the air is a homer.
Basically, Official Braves Killer vs. Official Braves Killer
Enter the Bravekiller.
You know my child was born 5 years ago the last time this happened.
/to the day
zero chance, no…nada…no chance. Even with an 0-2 count. Kyle sucks and the braves will lose the series in 3 games
And all of a sudden the Royals trade doesn’t look so bad.
YES!!! Braves win, I told you
YES!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow.
SWEET JESUS!!!
We won. Now, I’m too worn out to celebrate.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like I just took a shit I’ve been holding in for five years.
Yeah!!!
A much better outcome this time
Woohoo, Farnz!
Whew.
I like it.
Good pessimizin’, boys.
He said resilient. Everyone drink.
alright, I feel like going to the gym now
My stomach is torn to shreds….
One of the most unlikely wins I’ve ever seen.
Bottom’s up, boys!
I havent moved from my position on the couch in 3 hrs and Ive burned over 1000 calories, easily…
RESILIENT!!!!
What a great win, thata boy Rick!
btw, our future closer, Kimbrel, is now our closer
YES! WE WIN
You’ve got to say that was huge. Coming back from 4 runs, bad players not sucking for once, winning an AWAY GAME IN EXTRA INNINGS……
Yep, time to drink a few canned Fat Tires and head to bed. Happy.
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And that’s why we watch baseball folks. I can’t believe it all happened. I forgive everybody for everything, that includes you Alex Gonzalez, you Rick Ankiel, and you one Kyle Farnsworth.
I feel like it merits the descriptor, epic chain of events that got us that win.
Melky infield hit (tough error call), AAG double, Wagner gets hurt, Troy comes in and turns a crazy double play, Ankiel hits one into McCovey Cove, and Farnsworth coaxes three flyouts. That’s stupid.
This game went exactly like I thought it would, Troy Glaus making the Defensive play of the year for the braves, then Rick Ankiel Homering in the 11th and Kyle Farnsworth getting the win.
I’m sure that is exactly how we all drew that one up.
If you had that trifecta, then you should go play the lottery.
Holy sh*t cluster balls, was that fun, I think it was, but I flipped over my coffee table and got in a fight with my wife over that but the Braves won.
It was sooooooo worth it
The goats saved the day!
Ok so I’m never leaving the treadmill. This just became Serious Business.
682- but Melky still sucks.
The Braves dun gone and dun the “do ron ron”!!
Now pray for the Wag and hope we don’t sag!! (pass the corn please.)
That was the most bizzaro win in Braves history.
how about that…Golden Boy with the bases loaded and a decent fly ball will win it…instead Glaus turns a sweet DP and Ricky hits one a freakin mile
So, who replaces Wagner in Atlanta? Saito? Kawakami? Freeman?
Saito or Jurrjens
Hopefully Saito.
I think we can all agree Gregor Blanco would not have done that.
can we make a roster move now?
UN BE LIEVABLE!! woke up just in time to see the 8th…! What a comeback!
This has got to be one of the greatest wins in recent team history. When the last ball was caught I was stunnedd.
Don’t anyone ever say this team doesn’t try. This is the guttiest team I’ve ever seen._____
Farnsworth is a trending topic on Twitter.
I feel vindicated. First Braves road games I ever went to were in San Fran, the weekend Bonds hit those two walkoffs right before his dad died.
Tonight that felt so good to see that ball land in the cove and it be the braves hitting it.
Soooooooo goooood
If you replace Wagner, I think he is ineligible for the NLCS also (may not be a factor depending on the injury). I think I heard the announcers in the Rays game say that for Rocco Baldelli, who was replaced by Willy Aybar.
Biggest win since 1995
Dennis Eckersley hasn’t aged. Creepy.
Recapped. Did that really just happen?
Yeah, I thought he was going to pull a Kelly Johnson on that last fly ball. I wouldn’t have been surprised.
at 701, I believe that’s true. I heard that on WFAN today.
Two games at The Ted, y’all!
Why do we do this to ourselves? I’ve never met anyone associated with the Braves and never will. I haven’t lived in Atlanta in over two decades. And here I am, I can’t sleep, and I’ve been torturing myself for the last few hours. Why?
