Oops. Thought I was in the right forum. Should of noticed before coming in, right? Please move. Gracias. GO BRAVOS!!
Wow, I'm amazed true Braves fans exist. I remember the 2001 playoffs quite well; now that I think about it, I was at the last Astros playoff game in ATL. Reynolds pitched a disappointing game, but what stood out the most was how few Braves fans showed up. The entire 2001 season Atlanta was drawing poor attendance, but for a clinching playoff game it was pathetic. 40,000 were said to be there, but it looked more like 25,000. Anyway, most of the game you could hear the annoying FSU-stolen chop chant with the foam chop-stick thing, but with a twist -- the chant was 'SWEEP, SWEEP, SWEEP'. It was upsetting to watch the end of that playoff run (and the end to the Dierker era) until now, and now I hope for redemption.
HAHA welcome Almu to the Clutch BBS! BUT dont expect the welcome to last very long! VERY soon your braves will get shell shocked when the 'Stros put em out to dry!
In defense of Almu he as at least a Rockets fan. Otherwise than that I'm agreed wtih the rest. GO STROS!
I dislike the Braves more than ANY other MLB team. Unfortunately, they are the closest MLB team so that's all the coverage we get. That chop thing has to go. That has to be THE most annoying team chant in any sport, any city. GO STROS!
I swear, Saturday at the game, if I hear ONE Braves fan try to start that crap I'm gonna tomahawk chop their fragile craniums. OHHHHHHHHHHHH OH OH *WHACK* *THUD* *runs*
First of all, hate is a TOTAL sign of respect. Just ask the Yankees. Second, I was an Astros Fan AND a Braves fan throughout the 80's. Growing up in Houston, we got cable. Catch all the Atlanta games all the times. My mom had a major crush on Dale Murphy. My favorite player was Gene Garber with Bob Horner running a close second. And I know you ask about the Stros...well, I HATE THEM now. Why? Well, I use to absolutely love two players growing up. Hakeem. Nolan. When the Stros traded Nolan, I was so hurt that I cried for a week. I even moved from being a pitcher to playing right field in high school just because of that. I will never forgive them. Anyways...its good to hope. I like people who have hope for their teams. But its not gonna happen. Prepare for it. You will go down. And you will go down hard. Look at Oswald's record vs the Braves. I wonder how he is doing? Still...I will come back and make sure all you Stroheads drown in your sorrows when we whoop dat behind! Ps... The chop does suck. But winning cures all ills.
