Braves putting us through the wringer
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I never should have turned back to the Braves game last night.
I saw them jump out to that 1-0 lead, then went away for a bit to watch the NCAA title game between Kansas and Memphis. At halftime, I came back just in time to see Blaine Boyer blow the save in the eighth.
Tom Glavine and the Braves were doing just fine without me, cruising along in a fast-paced pitchers’ duel in frosty cold Coors Field — it turns out to be the shortest game in Coors Field history! — and I had to go and ruin Glavine’s gem by checking back in on them.
They’ve now lost four games by a total of four runs, and I’m not sure how to feel about it. Obviously, they’ve been in every game, and you’d think that losing by a single run would be better than getting blown out, but these have been some tough losses. Doesn’t it seem like this season has been going on much longer than a week, thanks to the emotional wringer this team has put us through?
So did you watch Bravos-Rox or Jayhawks-Tigers or both? What do you think of all these one-run losses? Will they come back to haunt the Braves or make them stronger in the end?
