I have tickets for all of the postseason.. where are you sitting?

sterlingice · 10-05-2012, 08:32 AM

That would be fun.

Never been to a playoff game. It's definitely on my baseball bucket list along with All Star game. I finally got to go to Opening Day this year

i got nosebleed seats for game 4 (403 I think) and ill be sitting in my regular season tickets for game 5 (106). being in a 10 person ticket share is great, until the playoffs

I got one game for each series and on my own for the others.

ntndeacon · 10-05-2012, 10:32 AM

Let's Go Bravos! Take out the Cards so you can beat up on the Expos/Nationals

I was at the Angels' home opener, but that was three games into the season. Does that count for "Opening Day"? Been to a playoff game, too (two, actually).

I would have liked to attend the All Star game in Anaheim last year, but it was crazy trying to get tickets.

sterlingice · 10-05-2012, 10:57 AM

My thought was that I didn't feel that it was Opening Day unless the team was 0-0. Other games could have already been played but not for the team you were going to see.

I was at the Astros Opening Day this year and that was after the Japan series, fake Opening Day, and even real Opening Day as they started the season on Friday when about half the teams started on Thursday (and the fluky game on Wednesday and the week before).

I'm in 135 if for some reason you want to try to meet up. I'm in a season ticket group as well, but the tickets "belong" to me and a buddy. We get opening day every year and any postseason tickets (obviously this is the first year for that). We also managed to get some extra seats in our section that were randomly alotted to the other members of the ticket group.

Easy Mac · 10-05-2012, 02:40 PM

Braves Roster Today:

PITCHERS (9): Luis Avilan, Chad Durbin, Cory Gearrin, Tim Hudson, Craig Kimbrel, Kris Medlen, Mike Minor, Eric O'Flaherty, Jonny Venters

CATCHERS (3): J.C. Boscan, Brian McCann, David Ross

INFIELDERS (8): Jeff Baker, Freddie Freeman, Eric Hinske, Chipper Jones, Lyle Overbay, Tyler Pastornicky, Andrelton Simmons, Dan Uggla

OUTFIELDERS (5): Michael Bourn, Jose Constanza, Jason Heyward, Reed Johnson, Martin Prado

sterlingice · 10-05-2012, 02:41 PM

Chad Durbin's still in the league. How about that...

Thomkal · 10-05-2012, 03:00 PM

our coordinator gets opening day, but we did a lottery for post season tix

does your share have any spots available? MOAR!

also, he got tix today, never have i hoped so much to pay 150 for a single seat.....

Easy Mac · 10-05-2012, 04:43 PM

David Ross!!!!!!!

larrymcg421 · 10-05-2012, 04:55 PM

Easy Mac · 10-05-2012, 05:13 PM

Well, Chipper bit the Braves

Scoobz0202 · 10-05-2012, 05:13 PM

Scoobz0202 · 10-05-2012, 05:24 PM

First and third with one out. Pitcher on deck.

Bunt??

Jas_lov · 10-05-2012, 05:26 PM

Great call by the ump, terrible decision to bunt with the 1st and 3rd, one out and the pitcher due up. It would be a shame if the Braves go out here and Chipper is the goat.

Easy Mac · 10-05-2012, 05:28 PM

Gonzalez said it was a safety squeeze. Should have pinch hit for Medlen. Ou have 6 relievers for a reason.

MizzouRah · 10-05-2012, 05:40 PM

GO CARDS GO!

Danny · 10-05-2012, 05:43 PM

These play in games are stupid. Either expand the playoffs with full series' or stick with the same format.

Young Drachma · 10-05-2012, 05:45 PM

I like the one-game playoff for the wild card. Adds a sense of urgency without watering down the field.

MizzouRah · 10-05-2012, 05:47 PM

WOW, Holliday!

ISiddiqui · 10-05-2012, 05:47 PM

And weakens (slightly) whichever Wild Card actually wins this.

I dont think a team should be able to make up being a worse regular season team by winning one game.

sterlingice · 10-05-2012, 05:57 PM

I swear, the Cards are the luckiest bastards

SI

claphamsa · 10-05-2012, 06:04 PM

The wild card shouldn't be equal to winning a division title. And now it's not. Plus, one extra team gets hope and I think that's great for baseball in an era where other sports let a lot more teams in than that.

But you could say that about the first wildcard. If the Braves were to win this game they'd play the Nationals who already finished ahead of them in the regular season. They'd play 5 games but it's still the same concept. I like this format, just go to a 3 game series and put all 3 games at the better team's park, then make the LDS 7 games.

Sun Tzu · 10-05-2012, 06:09 PM

For the second time in three years, the Braves are bumbling their way out of the playoffs.

Easy Mac · 10-05-2012, 06:10 PM

You needed Kimbrel. Strikeouts are much better at preventing a run scoring from third than ground balls.

digamma · 10-05-2012, 06:16 PM

Same old Braves.

This pretty much nails my view point. Win your division and you don't have to worry about it.

Easy Mac · 10-05-2012, 06:18 PM

Constanza pinch hitting over McCann ? Fuck Fredi.

claphamsa · 10-05-2012, 06:38 PM

worked....

Easy Mac · 10-05-2012, 06:42 PM

Congrats to the Cards. They had the better hitting team. The Braves shot themselves in the foot, but the Cards had to take care of the mistakes, and they did.

...with the tying run at bat, 1 down in the 8th inning?

kingfc22 · 10-05-2012, 06:51 PM

Wow...

kingfc22 · 10-05-2012, 06:51 PM

Easy Mac · 10-05-2012, 06:51 PM

Infield fly????? WTF?????

claphamsa · 10-05-2012, 06:52 PM

that is not an infield fly. terrible call

kingfc22 · 10-05-2012, 06:52 PM

Errr...wow on the call. Yikes

Easy Mac · 10-05-2012, 06:53 PM

Dam right throw shit

kingfc22 · 10-05-2012, 06:53 PM

Stay classy Atlanta

Jas_lov · 10-05-2012, 06:54 PM

Those Atlanta fans are classless. Take the bad call with class.

Ryan S · 10-05-2012, 06:54 PM

What a terrible call.

claphamsa · 10-05-2012, 06:54 PM

throw it all night boys, the fix is in. not even NFL replacements made calls that bad.
