South paw anyone?

You mean this guy?

some peeps really need attention......

I'm surprised no one was offended when I pitched in school, some of the pitch signs my catcher gave me was using his middle finger...

Just going to leave this here and run away!

PETA wants MLB to rename the 'bullpen' to 'arm barn'

A day before Game 3 of the World Series, the animal rights organization released a statement saying the term "bullpen" is insensitive to cows and bulls. The suggestion drew mixed reactions.

These people should be ignored when stuff like this comes from them. Just like trolls.

I just found the insanity of it fun!

1 win to go. Let’s go!!!

 

[MattC]

Yeah, ok.

I'm sorry if that sounded meanspirited but this is Atlanta Georgia. What does history tell you is going to happen on Tuesday and Wednesday? Think Falcons huge Superbowl lead, or Braves of so many postseason past, last year's nlcs. Atlanta has a sports history like no other city. Sorry but I love it. Astros are sweeping in Houston this week. Put it in writing now.

I know a guy from GA, who bleeds red, football UGA all the way. The Braves are second fiddle.

Big momentum shift Sunday night. For personal feelings over a certain chant I won't get into,

You just did.

I am no Astros fan, but right now they are Americas Team.

They are anything but that.

Big momentum shift Sunday night. For personal feelings over a certain chant I won't get into, there is no team in baseball I hate more than the Atlanta Braves. There would be no sweeter justice than for the team to collapse after a strong lead such as against the Dodgers last October, but on a bigger stage in the World Series. That likelihood is very probable now with the mojo on the Astros side going home. I am no Astros fan, but right now they are Americas Team. Keep the narrative alive on choke city. Make another choke happen. Go Stros!

America's team is the Dallas Cowboys. Their fans are so dedicated through wins and losses and in many cities, there are loyal Cowboy fans that show up in force when Dallas plays in other cities.

If it was under any other circumstances, Houston would be the villain right now by far and for obvious reasons. America may be rooting for them very temporarily, but they aren't gaining fans.

I am the farthest thing from a Houston fan (Go White Sox!!), But I am pulling for them to win.

Houston is still the villain. And will be for some time.

Wow….peeps pay a lot more attention to the Braves than I ever imagined….

Funny uh?

Hilarious, right?

Always love the the word HATE when being champion for a cause....I wonder if it is the same dude that sat behind us? The one that successfully predicts 87 of the last 2 home runs a team hits?

"I bet he's about to hit one out" every time someone steps in the box......

Pretty bold to predict an Atlanta collapse....no one else considered it

It’s no different than saying the Astros have a history of choking. What, only 1 WS win in 15 trips to the playoffs? That’s definitely a history of choking.

Measuring stick is winning the big one.......

Anyone who has been around these forums knows there aren't many more tough on Atl sports than I am......

It would be gracious to call those previous comments amateur.....

....Cheap, easy and worst of all not even close to novice....

Oh yeah. At first I didn’t think you were a Braves fan at all!

Yes...definitely tough to tell sometimes

Home Plate ump seemed to have tight strike zone....now he's all over the place
