re: The ATL Thread 10/25: World Series Eve

If I'm being honest, after the game ended Saturday night, I thought back to the close games we lost in the World Series in '91 and '92.... or losing 3 games in a row with a 2-1 lead in the '93 NLCS.

I thought about us losing a 6-0 lead in Game 4 of the '96 World Series.... and then I thought about all of the years we got beat at HOME, in the 1st round of playoffs in the years after '99.

I thought back to Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz... Chipper and Andruw Jones... Fred McGriff and Galarraga and Gary Sheffield.... and all those years that ended in us playing poorly in the playoffs.

All those seasons of the other team's being clutch late in games.... or us making an error... late-game heroics by someone else.... or us just being mediocre.

I thought back to the infamous "infield-fly" in the 2013 Wild Card game. All those years, it just seemed like there was something psychological about our Braves in the playoffs.

Saturday night, and the run these guys have been on these last 2 post-seasons.... it's definitely a different feeling watching these guys deliver big clutch hits and our bullpen put up zero's with the game on the line.

I'm so happy. Happy we're back in the World Series.... happy our Braves have given us such great post-season performances these last 2 weeks.
