The Atlanta Screwjob?

ATLANTA SCREWED ATLANTA

 

[eznark]

Back to back stranded runners in scoring position.

Cant blame the umps for that

should be 6-5

 

[perfectchaos007]

you can tell bourn used to be an astro

And for a while he was our best player

 

[Cousteau]

So long Chipper.Ya had a good run.

 

[perfectchaos007]

should be 6-5

So if the Braves don't score any more runs, no harm done

-MLB

 

[McNei1y]

It's weird seeing an Orioles playoff commercial

 

[CygnusXS]

fuck everything

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Fuck this shit man.

 

[carlos]

Atlanta fans showing they are the scum of the earth once more.

It was a terrible call but you can't do that.

Aren't you a Cubs fan? the fuck do you know about playoff baseball?

Good for the fans, if I was there I only hope I had some batteries or glass bottles.

I know that if McCann had been up there with the bases loaded he would've just hit into a DP, so I'm meh about the whole situation...at least it was entertaining and unforgettable.

 

[JHall]

I wonder how Lou Piniella would have reacted to that call.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

should be 6-5

6-4 you mean

where did that 5th run come from?

 

[tmdorsey]

*sigh*

 

[Sanjuro]

Cubs fans tried to kill a man in a similar situation.

 

[Seda]

6-4 you mean

where did that 5th run come from?

Well it should be 6-4 with another batter yet to bat.

 

[JABEE]

MLB scrubbed their twitter account of the joke about not understanding the infield fly rule either.

Yup. @StoneLarry is right. @mlb scrubbed a certain line from their twitter bio rather quickly. Guess which one. http://t.co/MH5StFY9

 

[cashman]

And for a while he was our best player

He's one of the best players on the Braves as well.

 

[RobotHaus]

Cash, you left the IRC early before we could tell you how we're pulling for your Orioles to win over those mean old Rangers! We got your back, buddy!

 

[Talon]

Lol at Bob. Remember Wrigley with Bartman?

 

[Kifimbo]

Everett Teaford‏

Being a pitcher I am really excited about the prospects of the new outfield fly rule

.

 

[Joey Fox]

Though I have to say if the Cardinals win I'll be glad not to have to face Kimbrel in a save situation.

What a weapon.

Is that real? Perhaps for once playing under protest will actually go through.

Instant replay would have fixed this issue already.

I've wiped all memory of that game!

 

[Heart Attack]

never give up hope braves fans. there's always next season

 

[JHall]

never give up hope braves fans. there's always next season

We've been saying that since '96

Wat u mean? Games protested?

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

fire these umpires. people get fired from jobs all the time from not performing, why are umpires and referees so special?

 

[richiek]

never give up hope braves fans. there's always next season

Except for Larry.

Yes that's real. They changed it right after the play happened

 

[Cousteau]

What will the protest do?
If the game ends 6-5. Mlb will award atl a run?
Make it a tie game?
I doubt it.

 

[Alex Anderson]

Gonna be weird if Chipper makes the last out here and the fans let out more frustration

 

[JABEE]

Hope for the protest to work.

Zero chance anything happens

 

[Enron]

I doubt it.

Playing under protest, if the protest were granted, means that the game would be replayed from the point of the reversed call. So the braves would have two on with 1 out in the 8th inning.

But since mlb is a complete fraud, they won't overturn what is surely the worst call in major league baseball history to keep the playoffs rolling along.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

How that works?

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

can i get the IRC link?

 

[goldsoundz]

Shit's about to get UGLY.

They restart the game with 1-out and the bases loaded.

 

[Brinbe]

Burn that Field to the ground.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Bye Chipper

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Good bye Chipper. Sad it had to end this way.

 

[RobotHaus]

can i get the IRC link?

[MarauderShields]

and it just had to be chipper to make the final out. tragic.

 

[squicken]

i always like chipper. mostly b/c mets fans really hated him but still

 

[McNei1y]

End of an era right here.

 

[Brinbe]

lol....

 

[Mully]

Yes Chipper!

 

[Fox318]

Crazy fucking call

 

[JHall]

Chipper!

 

[Y2Kev]

Omg pity call

 

[McNei1y]

Nice trot Larry.

 

[Lonestar]

Least a flashy broken bat for the end
