Well, the truth is that I hate them all, but I'm sick of the focus on Boston.

Fucking sick.

SICK.

:nuke: :banghead: :puke: :puke: :puke:

No, really. I'm a freak. I don't care about the AL wild card.

OK. Yeah, I don't really care about the NL wild card either.

I'm just fucking :puke: of Boston/Tampa Bay.

1. Got Your Back
Watching ESPN, you'd think the Boston collapse was equivalent to the Cuban Missile Crisis. Sheesh!

2. My Braves are sucking wind headed to the finish line
In August I would have given them a chance in a seven game series against anybody. Now, I'm not sure they could beat the Astros in a seven game series. Seems like somebody stole their bats and substituted whiffle bats in their place and none of the Braves noticed the difference.

4. Did a suspicious package postmarked San Francisco turn up in your clubhouse?
Those sound like the Wiffle bats we've been using all year. :eyes:

3. Well, the Boston meltdown has been greater than Atlanta's, hence
the coverage...although you gotta admit the Braves are sucking big time, too.

8. It can't have been that much worse.

In fact, while the Red Sox fall might have been slightly worse, it really was not much worse.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

;)

5. I'm sure the ESPNs will cut to the inferior leagues games.
And MLB will be showing live sequences.

6. And the Braves close out the season in fitting fashion
Blow a lead in the ninth and lose in extra innings. Baseball season is over for me till April when the Braves crank it up again. Hope the ownership of the team spends a few bucks for a couple hitters in the off season.

10. Dude.
I'm a Brewers fan! So this is a big year for me.

Still, I enjoy the playoffs every year.

Are you a baseball fan, or just a homer?

12. I'm a homer
Been a Braves fan since '67 and that's the only team I care about. Why would I want to see players or teams I don't give a rats ass about play?

14. Because it's baseball at its best.
It's always incredibly entertaining.

9. Actually, I'm stunned that there will be no game tomorrow.
I was counting on it! Now I have to do yard work!
