Rockies or Braves?


Polish Falcons

Is anybody else rooting for the Braves to make it into the playoffs?

 

It almost surprises me because I used to hate the Braves for so long, but this year I would much rather see them make it than the Rockies. I feel like I should like the Rockies because they seem like such underdogs, but nothing about their team seems very exciting. Alternatively the Braves have an awesome pitching staff that is maybe the most underrated in the league. I think it could make for a more exciting NLDS if the Cards have to face Vasquez, Hanson, Jurrjens and Lowe. It would be interesting to see how Cox would assign his staff for the playoffs. Lowe was the opening day #1 but in my opinion the other three are all better. Man that's a good staff. If I'm a Cards fan I'm hoping to face the Rockies.

So I'm watching some of the Braves and Rockies on mlb.tv and I think I have to change my mind. After hearing these annoying Braves announcers again and the repetetive 20 year old tomohawk chop again, I am reminded why I hate the Braves so much. Go Rockies!!!! It's your turn to step into the spotlight Mr. Jimenez.

I want to hear Powell call some more games so I am going to go with the Braves and Polish Falcons did you watch any Brewers games last year b/c if you did you should know who that is but if you didn't that is Trenni Kusnierek. She was the Brewers sideline reporter last year and is a MLB Network reporter this year.

Going off topic....I was on vacation all last week and failed to keep up on any news. But when I got back I was watching MLB Network and they were buzzing through a bunch of highlights from the past week or something. I wasn't paying full attention at the time but I swear they showed some dude making a marriage proposal to Trenni on the show. I'm hoping it's just a bad dream because my heart is shattered if it's true. Anyone else see this?

Trenni was sportin' a new 'do at the Twins/Tigers game last night. She was looking mighty fine.

 

I don't like the Rockies and I think it's because of jealousy. On paper they don't look as good as the Brewers, or at least not any better. But everything has gone right for them. I've always thought Tracy was a very good manager. Maybe that's what good managers do, make their team look lucky.

Rockies. I have faith that they can actually sell-out their playoff games, despite the paltry attendance tonight.

 

I thought they had something like 39k there last night? Since the Braves are my least favorite team in the history of baseball (the Atlanta version of course), I will be siding with the Rockies. They have a huge advantage with Suppan going for the Brewers tonight.

Rockies

 

Before I joined Brewerfan, I was an occasional poster on the JS Online site. There was a regular poster at that site with a handle that inferred that he was a Braves fan from Atlanta. When Prince Fielder received his initial promotion he suggested that the Brewers were showcasing him as a DH to American League teams for a potential trade as they would be better off hanging on to Lyle Overbay. His suggestions for trade targets included Shea Hillenbrand and Aubrey Huff, as they were just the type of players to put us into the playoffs.

 

I cite that post as one of the reasons I quit visiting the JS Online site, and the originator as one of the reasons that I cannot root for the Braves.

brewers4eric, that sounds like as good a reason as any.

 

I still peruse the JSOnline blogs occasionally, but I take all the comments with huge grains of salt. A lot of Packers fans moonlighting on the Brewers blog there, and fans of other teams just coming on to stir stuff up.
