    So what's everyone's thoughts here on the Braves? Pulling for them? I have to admit, when I was a kid, I always cheered for them when they were in the playoffs and World Series except in 1992 and 1993. Like a lot of their players. And I still wouldn't mind if they got through these days and made the World Series. Little NL East love. 

    For the matter, I very much cheered for the Marlins in their two World Series. And as a Dolphins fan, I always felt a bit of kinship. But I said from day one when I was 9-years-old that they should've been the Miami Marlins and not the Florida Marlins. They both start with an M and that's cool for a sports team name. Can't believe it took them so long to figure out. Actually...I can believe it. 

    While we're at it and I'm in baseball mood this postseason, I even have some love for those asshole Mets. Always loved the history (1962, 1969, 1986 of course), love the Seinfeld connection, Lenny Dykstra's my all-time favorite player, and really, at my height of baseball fandom (early 90's), they were like looking in the mirror to us Phillies fans. We were them and they were us. 

    The Nationals could fuck right off. Long live the Expos!  

    I didn't mind them too much. Mainly cause they only won once, so i kinda felt bad for them. They had an amazing pitching staff. I couldn't stand The Mets. IThe fans I don't mind except for when they do the "chopping" thing is kinda annoying.
    I've always enjoyed putting the ol' asterisk next to their sole championship when talking shit to my friend
    What's the asterisk for? Other than playing in the one of the worst divisions in league history that year. 

    Please don't say it's because it's the first year after the strike.

    Believe it was a slightly shortened season, like 140 games. Might've been some scab players too to start the year? That part I'm guessing on.

    Oh that's right, it was shortened a bit. I personally wouldn't put an asterisk on it for that though.

    2020 is certainly an asterisk season, but yeah '95 much less so.

    Eh, 1995 Braves won the championship fair and square. I think the scabs only played in spring training.

    Dave, the tomahawk chop is everything - it's all they do, and it's patently ridiculous and something else that starts with "r".

    Anybody know if Matt Gelb got fired/laid off? There's Phils movement and such, and haven't seen him tweet since the beginning of October.

    Was shocked myself as well.  Thought for sure he was getting off.  Almost everything I read about the trial was that the evidence was all he said-she said and kind of circumstantial.  I do think he was shady but I think that is what powerful unions leaders are.  It's all about influence and control.  Not a jury I would have wanted to be on.

    Shocked that both got hit with the hammer. The Doc news was the icing on the cake when taking off from Denver. I look forward to canvassing that neighborhood.

    Hoping KJ is next!
