I've got Braves-Fish on XM

so Braves announcers, who are absolutely gung-ho on their playoff chances. Sample quotes:

“The Braves have favorable pitching matchups the rest of the way.”

“Winning out for the Braves is very possible.”

“The Rockies are only 3-12 against the Dodgers and only .500 on the road, so they’re almost certain to lose 1 of those first 2 in LA.”

“I like our chances in a playoff game Monday. It would be Jason Hammel v. Javier Vasquez.” Then speculation on whether Rox would move up Uball on short rest.

These guys are almost overconfident on getting to play-in game & then playoffs.

3 down w/ 5 to go & they think they’re in.

No records in the last 10 years should count.

3 guys with sub 3 ERA’s along with Derek Lowe and Tim Hudson, not to mention Kenshin Kawakami is a 6th starter just in the bullpen.

I think the Rockies have gotten the best pitching performance of any MLB team this year.

I’m dead serious. After them (in the NL, at least), the Braves, then the Giants for me.

The one thing the Rox are missing is a Lincecum-level ace.

Mmmm…Lincecum.

Been watching the braves game here in ATL

There is noooooobody at the stadium. And it’s so quiet it’s scary. You’d think a team with a marginal shot of getting to the playoffs would have a pretty full stadium.

Apparently their fans have less hope than their announcers

But as I recall, when they went to the playoffs 13 years in a row, their fans didn’t even bother to show up late in the season, and they didn’t sell out some playoff games

They didn't.

They lasted for another 14 years or so until signing a peace treaty with the New Republic. They then became the Remnant, but 20 years later or so they started to act like Russia these days. And about a century later they joined with the Sith to rule the galaxy but were betrayed by the Sith.

They must have accidentally given Hammel

one of the balls that’s meant to be used for when the Rockies hit.

You know, the ones they don’t put in the Humidor so that the Rox have an unfair advantage.

Does this mean you’re you counting us losing the NLDS in five games?

by Rox Girl on Sep 30, 2009 7:16 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

My positive thinking has us winning the NLDS, actually.

The Rockies starters have held the Brewers and Cardinals to 12 runs over these last five games including the two tonight, that’s a pretty good record against your good hitting teams this last turn through the rotation.

I've wondered about that,

I don’t know how to explain it. There’s a lot of luck involved, but he seems a different hitter now. He’s much more patient and willing to go to the opposite field among other things, but I don’t understand how his experience with his son would result in a change like that. Kind of a mystery.

Could be a mental shift

Maybe he was more uptight playing baseball before, but after everything that happened he learned to take it less seriously, relaxed, and just have fun.
