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.

I think they'll get it done.  He's the "Chipper Jones" of this era of Braves baseball.

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!!!!!

Yep...enjoy it!  All the Braves heartbreak over the years, 28-3 and UGA in the national championship....finally something good happened for Atlanta!!

I find it amazing that all those years, teams, pitchers, Division titles/Pennants.... etc.  That they only won one in 1995 (only because they played a cursed team)... and now this team matches the past 31 years.

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 don't see the Brave repeating...it was just a magical season where the stars aligned.

Having a Healthy Acuna in the lineup helps a lot of things.

They should and I hope they do. You just never know with front offices valuing youth, team control, and not overpaying players.

In that case, come on Rockies!

Posey retiring. Many say he's a HOF. But if Thurman's not in. I don't get why he's a lock?

F Me In The Brain

He's better?
Everything doesn't have to be about Yankees players.
Posey is a dunk.  He will not have to wait too long.

Has nothing to do about the Yankees. Munson was a great player who died before he could retire on his own. And their numbers are comparable

Munson’s numbers ARE similar. in Thurman’s time, you had to be an absolute stud to make the HOF. these days, you can be harold baines.

Posey is well liked and won a few chips so I get why he gets in.

Munson should be in.

Want to see interesting stats?  Look up Joe Dimaggio's career stats.

Pretty non-descript and forgettable world series though.

Not for Braves fans lol 

Game 4 was incredible.

He's not. He does a ton of charity work and is very approachable with fans. He chatted with my wife and I for 10-15 minutes at Spring Training and he certainly didn't have to do that.

See my reply above. Sure, some athletes are straight-up assholes. He is definitely not one of them.
