Braves Division Elimination Countdown

[Willets Point]

Now if I can figure how to reduce that loser in the 1 outfit.

[Guest cooby]

He IS a loser, he even has it on backwards

[Willets Point]

Fixed. I feel like a loser for not being able to remember how to do that for so long.

[Valadius]

Ding dong the Braves are dead!!!!!!!!!!



MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

[stevejrogers]

Here is a little Willie Nelson for ya to make it official!

Turn out the lights
The party's over
They say that
All good things must end
Call it tonight
The party's over
And tomorrow starts
The same old thing again

But the crazy crazy party
Never seen so many people
Laughing dancing
Look at you you're having fun
But look at me
I'm almost cryin'
That don't keep her love from dyin'
Misery cause for me the party's over
Turn out the lights...

Once I had a love undyin'
I didn't keep it but I tried
Life for me was just one party
And then another
I broke her heart so many times
I had to have my parting wife
I had to have my party
Why broke her heart so many times
But one day she said
Sweetheart the party's over
Turn out the lights...

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

And more Shea fireworks...

[Valadius]

This calls for a celebration!!! Let's roll out some celebratory clips from the ole YouTube vault:

[MFS62]

I won't celebrate until they have been eliminated from the wild card race, too.
As long as they still have a chance to make the post season, they are not really dead.

Later

True, but this thread is more about ending the NL East Divisional run, especially considering how fruitless it has been, especially in recent years. All other long Divisional runs seem to include more than just a championship to show for it. Granted 1991-1999 was the real salad days of the run, and that did include 5 trips to the World Series, its hard to really say they deserve to be among the best, even in the NL. Very much like that Dodger run from 1946 (play-in series vs Cardinals) to 1966 (WS loss to the Orioles. Lots of NL pennants, only three rings to show for it.

Tell you what, its going to be a trip in Atlanta in a couple of weeks. No one in the building and that FSU fight song playing loud when the Braves are ralling. Its going to be real funny and, ummm, tacky (tackier than playing it while the Braves were down big against the Mets in July since there won't be many in the park)

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

So now the Yankees will be the longest reigning team.

They're the team I really want to see miss the playoffs one of these years.

[stevejrogers]

Yes I meant 4 for that Dodger run, forgot the 1965 one...
