Braves now changed their lineup.  I think this is going 7, but I hope I'm wrong.  

you’re wrong.

braves remind me of my 2010 giants - beating favored teams in EVERY round.

congrats!

I'm very happy I was wrong.  What a performance! 

It's fitting that the Braves blew it so many times when they were the favorites, and win it all with an improbable run.

Congrats Braves.  That was a fun game for them.  Albies finding the grounds cam was great.  I love that guy.

People are still making a deal out of the chop.  That will never go away.  Baseball needs to find a way to embrace it or come up w a new rallying cry because the people will always mimic and do it.

Been an Atlanta area resident my entire life.  The city of Atlanta/state of Georgia really needed this one.  We've had our hearts broken so many times previously.  

CHOP ON!!!!!

I don't understand why all the hate for the chop.  I'm part Native American (Cherokee) and I love it.

they NEED to make it go away…it’s an embarrassment. Manfred says something like the “local tribes are OK with it.” guess what? there ARE NO “local tribes” in GA anymore…..the white man drove them all out.

I don't have thin skin about a lot of things and this one is not even on my radar...

Agree that it is going to go away at some point, at least from an official perspective, where the team engages the crowd to participate in some good old fashioned cultural appropriation --- people said the same thing about the Redskins and the Indians. 

Congrats to the baseball team, though, that is really impressive.  I did not think they had a shot and they showed they were the best club.

Big congrats to the Braves & their fans. They played an awesome series and simply played better baseball.

It definitely stings, but I'm really happy with how the Astros responded this year. I'm looking forward to watching them play down in Florida next February.

You're a classy fan! 

It was a great series.  Both teams will be in contention again next year.

Thanks---you can't win them all, right?

I think you're right---both teams will be in the thick of it again next year. I imagine that their rosters may look a little different, but there's nothing any of us can do about that.

I always hate the end of the baseball season.

Atlanta was not a 500% team until August.

Let that sink in...

Dude, up until the last week of the season, I was holding out hope that the Phillies could overtake them and win the division.

I think Buck mentioned during the World Series that they were just the 3rd or 4th team to ever reach the World Series after being below .500 at the All-Star break. Hey, good for them. Better off starting slow and finishing strong than starting strong and tapering off.

I like it too but the overall favorites like the Blue Jays and Dodgers were chock full of young stars that everyone wanted to see.  Acuna being out I gave zero chance to AtL...

The end of the season was a wild one and I enjoyed that too.  So many teams still w a chance to make it w like 4 games left to play.

Go Braves! Really happy that Freddie gets a ring. It may not be a "smart" move re-signing him to a big contract, but damn he deserves it. I hope he's an Atl lifer.

Pretty non-descript and forgettable world series though.
