Painful memory. Braves won the first two games in NY. Andrew Jones was a 20 year old rookie and hit two HR in his first two at bats.

They came back to Atl and lost three straight.
I was sick.

Look forward to tonight.

Yeah, that was really a series of momentum ... a strange series indeed ... Leyritz with the big HR

Game 7 tonight should be fun

I'm not much into baseball but this game 7 is pretty darn good.

Nats might want to look into getting the bullpen going and getting Scherzer out while it's still a one run game.

It looks like I'll have to stay up past my bedtime to watch the whole game.

Same here but it is a hell of game 7, worth staying up for.

And the Washington Nationals are your 2019 World Series Champs.

Good series. Plenty of exciting moments all throughout.

2 weeks ago ... hey Nats fans, you'll get to the World Series, but you won't even win a home game.

Pretty exciting game ... I was rooting for the Nats, but the series was weird and entertaining

Wow. Congrats to the Nats.

Win two on the road. Lose three at home. Win two on the road again. A wild card, what a ride.

The whole second half they trailed my Braves. Every time they played head to head with the Nats trying to close the gap: Braves took the series.

Now they win the title. Go figure.

Baseball driven by analytics. Yet when it comes to a post season playoffs? All that goes out the window.

Who gets hot takes the cake.

And to think, Kendrick’s HR stayed fair by a foot. It literally won them the title

Was kind of rooting for the Nats just because I have a number of friends and it was a compelling story. Very entertaining series that highlighted two of my most hated rules in baseball.

1. Running down the line to 1st you should not have an obligation to avoid contact (or the ball) if it gets into the base path.. that should be on the first baseman to avoid.

2. If you slide into a base and lose contact with the base for a millisecond because of the momentum of your slide, you should not be out.
