Congrats.  I wish I could get into baseball as much as you and many others that I know.  But I know how big of a deal this is.  Happy for all!   :thumbup:

Congrat's Braves (especially happy for Freddy). I just wish we hadn't lost Sports South and could watch more during the regular season.  :powert:     :patriot:

I stayed with them all season. The first half was tough. Never did I think that this would be the outcome.

Just think. If the Mets had a slightly larger lead at the All-Star break, the Braves might have not made the moves they made.

As a life-long Braves fan I am happy. It's been a long dry spell. I bet Hank and Phil are smiling down on the team today.

I tried to stay radio silent on the Braves since they got hot in August. I didn’t want to jinx it. But wow- this might be the most improbable title team I’ve ever seen. You don’t normally lose your best pitcher and two best position players, then deal for some other teams’ unwanted castoffs at the deadline and expect them all to play like All Stars, but that’s what happened. Now they have to re-sign some of these guys.

I haven't really followed baseball in years, but glad the Braves won!  :thumbup:

Last night I watched more baseball than all the time combined since 1994
Herb I'm sure understands the distinction of 1994

I’m like several others here. I haven’t really watched MLB since the 90’s but I’m glad that the Braves win because I have some close friends who are big time fans.

I tried watching a little, but the games are so slow that I just can’t get into it.

And Bobby.

I watched almost half a game on Saturday, the most I have watched in a long time also.  Tried watching Tuesday night with the Braves up 6-0, lasted about 2/3rds of an inning.   :laugh:  Saturday game was exciting and close, Tuesday not so much.
