Braves vs Bucs

[Darkstone42]

Oh hey! We clinched! Sweet!

 

[evolver115]

2years in a row

Last year was obviously sweet, but this is validation that 2013 wasn't a fluke.

The Bucs are for real!

This post game of the clubhouse is hilarious. Is Polanco old enough to drink?

 

[Darkstone42]

The Cubs gave us a little help for the division, beating the Cards in extras.

 

[Darkstone42]

The Dodgers beat the Giants, and Kershaw goes for LA tomorrow. Very nice.

cole retired the last 17 straight. really settled in.

Cole was getting hit pretty good in the first two innings but didn't know this until this morning seeing the highlights he had a blister issue on his hand. But after he got it under control the Braves hitters were lost.

Well I am in Atlanta for work and got a ticket to the game. It was an OF reserve seat and this is my horrible camera work getting them right after the game celebrating.


They didn't do much on the field but behind the Pirates dug out a lot Pirate fans stayed around and they actually were throw baseballs and stuff into the crowd to the kids.

There were a lot of Pirate fans in attendance, just in the OF section I was in there were at least a dozen Pirate fans there.

 

[sychmd]

considering there were only 20 in the stands out there, that is a 60% majority.

LOL...amazingly though earlier in the game there were more people there than I expected to be. But come the 8th most of the Braves fans were gone, so the lets go Buc's chant basically took over.

 

[sychmd]

glad you were able to have fun and celebrate.
i was at phillies stadium on the bucs early sept trip to philly and many pirate fans there as well.

 

[thedddd]

Yeah it was fun to see them clinch on the road like that.

As for Tonight Locke isn't looking that great to start the game. I have a feeling tonight will be a big let down after the win last night.

 

[Darkstone42]

I figured if we were going to lose a game in this series, this would be it. Locke is not especially good, and Teheran is.

 

[sychmd]

lets win tom, stl idle, and close to 1 GB.

then a very interesting weekend.

hope martin injury is mild and sitting was just precautionary

 

[Darkstone42]

The Cubs and Dodgers helped us out, so we didn't lose any ground despite the loss.

 

[Darkstone42]

Snider gives the Bucs the 1-0 lead early with a home run. Nice.

 

[Darkstone42]

Eddie is beyond sharp tonight. Wow.

 

[thedddd]

Yeah he has been very good. i also liked the great baserunning by Harrison to score on that pop out.


BTW....Amazing what a month it has been: 2014 MLB Regular Season Standings - Major League Baseball - ESPN - standands as of August 25th.

 

[Darkstone42]

3-0 now after the Gaby Sanchez RBI single. It just sneaked through.

 

[Darkstone42]

Volquez remains sharp, and now he's through six scoreless, whiffing 9, including getting Freeman three times.

 

[Darkstone42]

Nice at bat there from Harrison. 2-4 now tonight and hitting .318 on the season.

Snider's had another nice night, too.

 

[Darkstone42]

This one should be pretty comfortable now. A three run inning capped by a Marte 2-RBI double gives the Bucs a 6-0 lead going into the bottom of the seventh.
