Awesome! Congrats to the Braves. Now, who had Braves/Astros in the Series at the start of the season?
Anyhow....GO BRAVES! Beat the Cheatros! All right thinking people want this...
Nice birthday present for me from my favorite team. I want Freeman to have that ring. I'm assuming Acuna Jr would get one if they win? Or is it only for those who were on the active roster during the postseason?
Oh, and my advice to the Braves...talk to the White Sox...and watch the Astros like a hawk.
Heh, the Giants were gloating on social.:p
My postmortem on the Dodgers points to one guy, Dave Roberts, and his inability to manage pitchers. That, and bad luck, but that's part of the game and the Braves had plenty of that as well.
Ugh! Braves / Astros. I see very low ratings for this Series. No one wanted to see the unpunished cheating Astros in the fall classic. And the Braves have a smaller, regional following.

Well, fans enjoy a good underdog story, and they might tune in to watch and cheer for the lowly Braves as they fight for Truth, Justice and the American Way against the evil Cheatstros.
I am really pulling for the Braves. I hate the Trashtros so much!!!
The St. Louis Cardinals will name Oliver Marmol as [url=https://www.si.com/mlb/2021/10/25/oliver-marmol-to-be-named-new-st-louis-cardinals-manager]their new manager[/url].
I just can't bring myself to root for either team a little bit.
But I will watch.

Some have said that he's nothing more than a yes man for the front office, who many fans say are really to blame for the teams recent troubles...

I have little love for the Cheatstros, but it's hard not to root for Dusty Baker who, by the way, began his career in Atlanta:

Meanwhile, who knows what sort of ratings this matchup will bring in, but I'll watch too.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least.
Hoping the Braves win it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm torn about who to root for in this series. I'm not a fan of the Astros because of their cheating but I have loved Dusty Baker since he played for the Dodgers and I collected his baseball cards.
By the way, here's an article on Dusty Baker that was published on [url=https://www.si.com/mlb/2021/10/26/dusty-baker-daily-cover]SI.com today[/url].

It would be nice for Dusty Baker. He seemed so excited after the game.
