I can live with Phillies fans--they're obnoxious but smart. Braves fans are just obnoxious. I saw them. Braves fans and announcers are still arrogant pricks. Someone tell me that TBS is going to hire real announcers when they start showing the playoffs.

True story, I remember that game...yet I seem to remember everyone blaming Benitez. That game in 2001 was very similar to yesterday's game...however once Benitez allowed the double which brought ATL to within one run, Franco relieved the closer, loaded the bases and gave up the game winning grand slam.
