Braves worse team confirmed

 

[JABEE]

You disappoint me Braves. You were given the duty to eliminate those filthy birds and you failed.

There's always tomorrow

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

How long until we now about protest?

 

[Cousteau]

Feel sorry for the wives tonight

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Can't wait for Game 2 tomorrow night.

LET'S GO FIGHTIN' SHOWALTERS!

 

[Fox318]

I think the Braves win the protest. Chipper isn't coming back out for those fans.

That would be crazy.

 

[Windu]

hopefully that was fredi's last game

 

[darkside31337]

Remember the days when Rangers fans were cheering Michael Young with MVP chants?

 

[eznark]

How long until we now about protest?

Lol

 

[Mrbob]

I don't see how MLB overturns this. They won't want to put the umps in "danger" again back on the field.

I expect some terrible PR written about how the right call was made on the field and Atlanta needs to do deal with it.

Braves fans using stereotypical warchant to express outrage at having been swindled by an unfair interpretation of agreed-upon rules

Wow

 

[Macattk15]

Nice O's. Nice.

 

[Sanjuro]

Holiday lying his ass off.

 

[Y2Kev]

Let's go mango cubes!

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Do the Umps get champagne too?

 

[eznark]

So, best bets on which team the MLB has decided will win this one?

 

[Cousteau]

The ratings would b great if mlb awards atl the protest win.

 

[Heart Attack]

So, best bets on which team the MLB has decided will win this one?

the brewers

 

[darkside31337]

Ron Washington is still managing the Rangers. Clearly that is the fault of MLB.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

So, best bets on which team the MLB has decided will win this one?

Rangers with the infield trot rule.

 

[JHall]

Do the Umps get champagne too?

Only if there's rat-poison in it.

 

[Mrbob]

Wait, the division leader opens up on the road against the Wild Card team? What kind of Selig logic is this? Dude is the worst, maybe it's a good thing his Wild Card experiment blew up on him.

 

[rinse82]

Not understanding logic of #1 seed starting the lds on the road

 

[jbug617]

Sad Chipper's last appearance on a baseball field is that.

 

[McNei1y]

HERE WE GO O'S

how much alcohol have you had so far?

then get a different umpire crew in.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Selig about to change the rule and create the outfield fly rule. Selig gonna Selig.

 

[MarauderShields]

hopefully that was fredi's last game

No the shitty umps and them making the "playoffs" will likely excuse how bad he is.

 

[Sanjuro]

Other game is on TNT.

Steve Harvey.

 

[squicken]

ugh I hate AL baseball and now my AAA team is in this damn league

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

What a disgusting call by the ump. Worse that it's what will be remembered about this game.

 

[talisayNon]

i hate this second wild card bullshit.

the brewers

They would if they could

No logic. This is the result of Selig shoehorning the changes in this year after the schedule was already determined.

Just heard some MLB umpiring official on the radio reiterate the correct call was made. Basically said the ball could have been purposely dropped to start a double play and it was prevented, which is why the rule is there.

I believe you would call that covering your ass.

No way you're getting a double play out of that ball.

I see these fat assholes are already covering for each other. IT WAS IN FUCKING LEFT FIELD!!!!

You couldn't get a fucking double play with four Jim Thomes on the base-path.

And not just in Left Field, IT WAS 70 FEET INTO LEFT FIELD.

One hell of a double play.

The call should have been called earlier if that was indeed true.

They weren't getting shit out of that.

Its not a judgement call. Doesnt matter if they could, might, or probably wont.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Fredi says MLB told him already the protest is denied.
