What a pathetic performance (again) by my Braves. Farnsworth gives up a grand slam in the eight and a homer in the ninth to tie it up.

I will say that the rest of the Braves bullpen pitched great for 8 extra innings, but unfortunately so did the Astros bullpen. A game to remember... Longest postseason game in history.

Ageed. And the "stos" pen was so spent that had to bring Clemens back . . . the guys a machine. Sometime.

In my non-athletic brain, I can't help but associate the Braves with hanoijane.

It wouldn't have been so bad, but the Braves twice squandered a leadoff walk -- statistically a leadoff walk will score 80% of the time. Not only that, but they had bases loaded with one out and failed to score. I've been a fan since the days of Dale Murphy and the 19-inning Independence Day marathon, but they are really trying my patience these days. I'm at the point where I'd almost rather see them lose 100 games again instead of getting my hopes up and then making a quick playoff exit. But that's just me...
