HEY, Braves Fans...Where's That "Tomahawk Chop" ***NOW?!?!!?***

[mermaid]

Hee, hee...9-2 Astros, bottom of the 7th...How do you love my 'Stros NOW?!?!!?

Damn, I'm almost GLAD we lost yesterday now, so we could bring the heartbreak right to YOUR BACK YARD!!

If ANY team ever deserved this, it's the Braves...they have frustrated us 'Stros for YEARS, but no more!!

'Stros are going on, most likely, and y'all just gonna stay in Atlanta the rest of October!!!

WOOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!!

GO 'STROS!!!!!!!!!!

I GOT MY CHAMPAGNE BOTTLE SITTIN' IN MY LAP, READY TO POP IT THE SECOND THAT THIRD OUT IN THE BOTTOM OF THE NINTH HAPPENS!!!

:p

BUH-BYE, BRAVES!!!

[rockymountaindem]

1. I hate you all!!!

Go Red Sox!

[mermaid]

4. I'll Go For The BoSox for the A.L. n/t

sincerely, I'd like to see a 'Stros - Sox WS...would be really good. We long-suffering 'Stros fans know what it is to suffer for a long time, so I hope the Red Sox knock off the Yanks.

And if the Cardinals end up knocking off the 'Stros, I'll pull for the BoSox to take the WS.

3. I went to see the 'Stros play the Brewers during the last Milw. homestand

It was a Friday night, and me and a couple of friends went to Miller Park to see Clemons pitch. We managed to walk up and get seats four rows from the visitors dugout. Clemons is a freaking god. He is effortless. Pitched a great game but got a no-decision. The interesting thing was people were taking pictures of him everytime he poked his head out of the dugout. I was awfully impressed by the Houston lineup. Solid one through nine. A bonus was that they beat out the dreaded Cubs for the W/C. Sweet. I like Houston against all teams except the Bosox. They are my sentimental favorite. Good luck to your team. Feels great, doesn't it?

[mermaid]

5. You Have NO IDEA How Great This Feels!!!

43 years of suffering, of never winning a post-season series...and looks like we will FINALLY, tonight...and what better team to do it against than the damned Braves, who have FRUSTRATED THE SNOT out of us for the last DECADE!!

And the best part is bringing the heartbreak to the damned Braves RIGHT IN THEIR OWN BACKYARD!!

Hey, Braves fans, take that "Tomohawk Chop" and stick it where the sun don't shine!!

You lose, we win, suck it up!!!

pbbbbbbbbbbbbblllllllllllllllllttttttttttttttt!!!!!

[alarimer]

15. Don't worry

the Cards will beat em. Or the Yankees/red sox will beat this POS team.

[No2W2004]

6. I was there in 86

in the dome, watching the Astros choke in that 13 inning game. I've watched the Astros choke in every series since.

FINALLY! I just hauled my bottle of Bombay Sapphire out of the freezer for this.

Thank you again Boston for sending us Jeff Bagwell for Larry Anderson and a six pack.

[mermaid]

14. I Hear Ya!!

I got my bottle of bubbly ready in my lap, and my corkscrew at my side, ready to pop!!

Goddamn, this feels SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[HEyHEY]

7. You gotta add a "Beeyatch" to the end of your message for context

[Lady Effingbroke]

8. It would be sweet if the Astros won, that's for sure!

Oh, by the way, 10-3 Astros.

[teach1st]

9. I'm a Braves fan..

..and I've thrown in the towel (although I'd love to be proven wrong). Houston fans, you've suffered enough. Good show.

[No2W2004]

10. 12-3!

Where the hell are my olives now? Time to get ripped up!

[Lady Effingbroke]

11. 12-3 Houston

Braves fans are leaving the stadium early.

[Sandpiper]

12. Looking forward to my Cards

Kicking the Stros butts all the way back to Bankruptcy Ballpark. ;)

[mermaid]

13. You And WHAT ARMY?!?!!?

Everyone has counted us dead this year, and time and again, we have found a way to come back!!

12-3 Houston, now, bottom of the 8th!!

Thank you to the gracious Braves fan who has thrown in the towel. Sorry, but this is just TOOOOO SWEEEEET for us long-suffering 'Stros fans!!

[St. Jarvitude]

16. I have mixed feelings about this series

On the one hand, I hate the Astros almost as much as the Cardinals because I am a Cubs fan.

On the other hand, the Braves would get creamed in an NLCS with the Cards (which is the team I hate more than any in the NL). The 'Stros, on the other hand seemed to have Stl's number at the end of the season (plus Stl's incredibly overachieving pitching staff will get worn out in a 7 game series).

The only redeeming quality for these playoffs for me is that the Cardinals or the Astros will be CREAMED in the World Series by either AL team. :evilgrin:

[Lady Effingbroke]

17. ASTROS WIN!!!!!

:)

[mermaid]

18. Champagne Popped!!!

Hell, even my DOG is going nuts!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

'STROS WIN!! 'STROS WIN!! 'STROS WIN!! 'STROS FUCKIN' WIN!!!

WE DID IT FOR YOU, KEN!!!

God rest you, Ken Caminiti, we love you!!!

[No2W2004]

19. Nobody knows the pain of the Astros fan

The "Uniform",
Always at the bottom of the divison
JR Richard
1986, in what is called the "greatest game ever played" in the division series
NEVER winning a series of any kind...

Till now!

WOOO HOOOO!

EDIT RIP Cami.

[mermaid]

20. Yes

Only we long-suffering 'Stros fans know our pain...
Starting with J.R. Richard...Jose Cruz...1986...the Braves of the 90's...Ken Caminiti...damn, we FINALLY get to feel a little joy!!

I'm partying my ASS off tonight!!

WE LOVE YOU, KEN!! THIS ONE'S FOR YOU, KEN!! THIS ONE'S FOR YOU, J.R. RICHARD!!!

[tibbir]

22. I'm with you!

I can't believe it's finally happened, especially after they choked last night. The Astros finally pulled one off - and against the damned Braves to boot!

[mermaid]

27. And The Best Part...

We did it to them
IN THEIR OWN BACKYARD!!
WE BROUGHT THE HEARTBREAK HOME TO THEM...PAYBACK'S A BITCH, EH, BRAVES FANS??

[St. Jarvitude]

26. LOL! Tell that to a Cubs fan

Your franchise has only been around 30-odd years. We've been suffering almost a century.

And despite what you may say, the Cubs always finish in the basement (until last year)... not the 'Stros. They made the playoffs every year in the 90's it seemed like.

[No2W2004]

38. I've lived in both places

The cubs fans do suffer more, I'll grant you that, but at least they have a history....What do the fans in Houston have as far as history?

Giant Mosquiitos carrying off players while they played as the Colt 45s?

Judge Roy's giant neon wacky saloon, stabin cabin, and scoreboard?

Uniforms that induced people to wear sunglasses indoors?

Their best pitcher in decades having a stroke on the mound?

Nope, the only thing Astros fans ever had was ONE game.

ONE FUCKING GAME in 1986 to have warm fuzzy memories about.

[redstateblues]

21. How Far Behind the Cards Did the Astros Finish This year?

The Braves were a very weak team this year from a weak division. The Cards will roll over Houston in four games. I hope Roger Clemens loses two

[tibbir]

23. C'mon, let us have a little fun.

[redstateblues]

25. Try to be gracious winners and drop the taunts

Braves fans are a pretty humble lot- we usually choke in the post season and have come to expect it. I would be happy for stros fans if they were more like you

[mermaid]

28. Sorry...but,

This was the BRAVES!!!

The people who have brought us heartbreak year in and year out for a DECADE!!!

Damn, it feels so GOOOOOD to finally do it all...and against the BRAVES!!!

You cannot understand our joy...we have HATED the Braves for YEARS here in Texas!!!

[redstateblues]

31. You'll be hating the Cardinals soon- you don't have a snowball's chance

in hell. The Cards actually have some hitters. The Astros will fold like a tent.

[rppper]

36. yes!!!....there is a baseball god....GO "STRO's!!!!!!!

i have been looking forward to them getting past atlanta for the better part of a decade....finally......

[ilovenicepeople]

24. GO EXPOS!!!!!

:cry:

[Lady Effingbroke]

30. Yeah, too bad about the Expos.

:hug:

[BringEmOn]

29. Very appropriate...especially on Columbus Day

Stick that chop and chant...all the way up....

[peekaloo]

32. I think rally blankets were the giveaway item tonight.

}(

[Awsi Dooger]

33. I'm not a baseball fan, but the Braves schedule always baffles me

They play 167 games and not 162. After tonight's game I added it up for this year and it held up again. Someone should look into this.

[JohnKleeb]

34. huh now

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/standings
They played 162 regular season games but played 5 post season games thus playing 167.

[tcfrogs]

35. Umm, are you serious, or am I just tired???

[sasquatch]

37. Man, the Braves are the greatest regular season team in the MLB

but they sure as hell can't play in the post season:evilgrin:

They should be forced to change there names to the "Chokes" so they can honor all the great teams that blew it in the post season.

[JohnKleeb]

39. They've won all the NL east titles since I was 4

Thats somethin. Now if the '94 strike hadn't happened then yea. Oh and they've only won one world series in that time, 1995.

[pdx_prog]

40. I have hated the Braves

for as long as I can remember. I have been a loyal Cards fan since the mid sixties.
