NLDS: Brewers vs Braves

Sweet, I certainly didn't want to see game 5. 

I know at this point, everyone has to take San Fran as real but I still rather face them than LA. 

I know we have hfa against the Dodgers but that lineup is stacked and even without 2 of the best pitchers in baseball, the rotation is still formidable.

I would love to see this team go all the way but getting to the NLCS is an accomplishment for them all things considered.

Of course, we have seen teams get hot at the right time and ride it to a title, despite not being the league's best, so why not us?

I mean, the famous comparison is the 2006 Cardinals. They won the Central with 83 wins. They had to battle all through September and came in hot. Won the World Series

That's the point I always made when talking about our down years. We were like two games under .500 at one All-Star Break, and I maintained that we should try to make a run. You never really know.

Thinking about it makes me that much angrier with myself for calling for us to sell at the deadline. You really should only do that if you're totally out of it, which teams rarely are in baseball during the double-Wild Card era.

There's something to be said for having to grind until the end. Brewers clinched early and rested, Braves didn't. Brewers just couldn't find their groove. Only avoided a sweep because of 1 hanger by Morton.

Keep Ynoa off the NLCS roster?

I think he'll be there just as a guy that can eat innings. I honestly don't think the roster will change much. You can't really trust Martin or RichRod at this point. Martin got knocked around all year and Rodriguez was throwing batting practice the last few weeks. I think what you had in the LDS is what you got in the LCS. Unless they want to swap Lee and Strider or some other arm.

All those years where the Braves won 95+ games and failed to win the World Series, this would be poetic justice. I'd love to end the ATL curse that way.

I so badly want to be this team. Just once I want to see an ATL team win a truly improbable championship.
