OT - I’m bored, Part Herbert!

6-0 in the 5th. The Braves are so close lets hope an Atlanta team doesn't blow it this time.

Freeman might have just put the nail in the coffin.

Really happy for him.

 

[naslundfan19]

The Atlanta Braves have won the World Series.

Braves deserved it congrats to their fans for seeing a championship.

Really glad the Jays got rid of Anthopoulos, that guy was never going to win anything.

I am hoping that the Braves won with the most ex-Pirates on their roster, that it finally breaks the curse. Maybe, just maybe the Pirates will win a playoff series (NOTE: they haven't won one since 1979).

Ehhhh who am I kidding.....the Pirates suck.


EDIT: The Braves did everything to keep the ex-Pirates off the post-season roster.
Rodrigues - wasn't on any post-season roster.
Morton - Got hurt
Santana - Was released
Chavez - hasn't been a Pirate since '09 so most of the sucking wore off.
Heredia - didn't stick around long enough to catch "the suck".

Seriously if Coppolella didn't cheat and get kicked out of baseball the Braves wouldn't have hired Anthopoulos to get to this point.

Granted the MLB roster was looking good when he took over, but the Braves were stripped of prospects and over 16 million in signing bonus money. That put him at a disadvantage with trade chips to turn the team into a winner that quick.

He also left the Jays with most of the core of today's competitive team despite the Jays being competitive for two years at the end of his tenure and moving a bunch of assets for deadline acquisitions and upgrades (something he worked to perfection this season with the Braves).

All because Fat Fucking Eddie wanted Shapiro who hasn't won fuck all in 20 years as an executive to be his team president.

Geez this got me looking and seriously the last competent GM in Pittsburgh might have been either Joe Brown (1956-1976) , Branch Rickey (1951-1956) or possibly Hardy Peterson (1979-1985).

Really can't say much about Cherington yet, but since the mid-80's he might be the most competent GM they had.

Sid Thryft?

Sid Thryft?

Yeah he did hire Leyland and did the Pena trade unfortunately he only lasted 3 years after being fired.

 

[naslundfan19]

See you in the Hall, Buster.

 

[naslundfan19]

Too bad it wasn’t Ozuna…

I forgot he was on the Braves. He definitely needs to be locked up.

Ducks win by 10 in Seattle. 8-1.

I guess the Braves were in a hurry to get out to Cobb County for the second parade near the stadium
