And we got it!  One more inning, then we bring in the Chief...

edit: By the way, 3-1 Cards lead the Cowards in the 6th.

Guzzy!  Way to go Guzzy!

It doesn't seem like we are getting any of those check swing calls.  This is the "balk" umpiring crew isn't it?

Just curious but where did this new nickname for the Braves come from?

"The Chief" is a family/college nickname

Well, what's the opposite of a "Brave?"  

A coward!

It's supposed to a goofy nickname, not a hate-inspired one.  I saw some Nats blogger somewhere use it in reference to the Braves, and I thought it was pretty clever.

I hate it when Vinny gets behind on the count.

That's literally 2 miles from my house.  I'm seeing/hearing absolutely nothing.  We've got people sitting out on the deck, no problem.

The question is: do we have the gumption to hold on and win this?  

I think we can do it this time.  We HAVE to - the Cowards are probably going to lose (5-1 in top of the 7th).
