Go Braves.

 

Seconded.

[E.J.]

Chipper!!!!

 

Game tied at 1 in the 1st.

[CuseCubFan69]

Nice job of hitting the ball where it's pitched by Chipper. That was pretty.

[Brian]

i'm rooting for the Braves to win it all.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Thank you Chipper.

air jordan

[E.J.]

What a catch by Jordan there. Hudson is getting hit pretty hard so far.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

i wish we had furcal and m. giles as our DP combo.

[Brian]

wow a questionable call by Cox to play Jordan, and he goes out and makes a HUGE catch.

[CuseCubFan69]

Giles with a bad tag. That throw by Jones was perfect.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Geez, Hudson was all over the place that inning. Meh.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Yikes, now 4-1 Houston. It appears none of the teams I was rooting for in game 1 will win. :(

Looks like the Cards may have got the right "A".

Looks like the Cards may have got the right "A".

 

Based on one playoff start for Hudson (and none for Mulder)? Hudson had a much better regular season.

 

Marcus Giles double!

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Giles is awesome.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Andruw Jones 2-run HR! 4-3 Houston. :)

[E.J.]

Here come the Braves!!!

 

 

 

4-3 now.

[Brian]

that bunt by Francouer was incredible too bad it didn't do any good.

[Brian]

there's the real Hudson!

[Brian]

Hey! Cubs mentioned during post season baseball not mentioning Bartman!! Apparently we have a hole at SS... :D

 

(i'm surprised they said we have a hole (when talking about what will happen to Furcal) when we have the possiblity of Nomar, Cedeno & gulp Neifi)

Please explain how Hudson is "much better" and remember he spent time on the DL.

 

Personally I think they both get too much respect.

[Careless]

I looooove those sac bunts!

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Joey Devine scares me.
