No Postseason for the Braves...

Yes I'm upset.  What started off as a great season came to a screeching halt when the calender turned a page to September.  Why all the sudden could the Braves not score any runs and give their pitchers and run support?  Why couldn't the pitchers stay out of trouble?  Why did Freddie Gonzalez keep sending Derek Lowe to the freakin' mound?!

I didn't expect the Phillies to roll over and play dead for this final 3 game series, but I thought the Braves could at least get 1 game.  It's "funny" how Hunter Pence is the one that ended the Braves season since it was his old team (the Astros) that could've helped out the Braves by taking care of the Cardinals.  I knew there was a good reason as to why I cringed when I heard about Pence going to Philly.

Oh well, complaining doesn't help anything so I'll leave it at that.  I'm bitter.  I'm upset.  I'm disappointed.  All the while I'm happy about most of the season and the baseball that was played by my Braves.  If we all can forget about the month of September then most of us can agree that it's been a wild ride.  Thanks Freddie and the rest of the guys. We'll get 'em next year.

I guess I'll switch my focus over to the AL now and root for the Red Sox Tigers.  Oh yeah, if the Cardinals are facing the Phillies...I guess I'm now a Cardinals fan too!
