Been here a long time. Seen a lot of things. Never seen anything like that.

It's ok Braves fans. At least your team didn't drop $330M on a player to finish .500.

The #Braves may have just written themselves a $200M+ check for Gerrit Cole this winter...

SunTrust Park erupts with cheers as the top of the first inning ends.

Cardinals lead, 10-0.

Lloyd Pierce says he's still hoping for a big Braves comeback.

It appears the Cardinals scored another run while we were in the press conference, however.

My five-year-old is weeping. The Braves didn't make me cry until I was 10.

The Cardinals' 13 runs through 3 innings today are a postseason record for the first 3 innings of a game.

Interestingly, the Braves actually have the 2 largest-ever margins of victory in a postseason shutout (15-0 and 14-0). Both came in the 1996 NLCS against...the Cardinals. pic.twitter.com/b20rV2vTxK

The best thing about this game is Twitter. It’s like group therapy. #Braves.

Congrats to the Cardinals. A great series that came to a depressing end. Still proud of the @Braves and excited for the future. #chopon

The Braves have now lost 10 consecutive Postseason rounds (2001 NLCS, 8 NLDS and 2012 WC Game). That matches the Cubs (10 straight between 1910-1998) for the longest such streak in MLB Postseason history. pic.twitter.com/EfkFHvm5eN

"I would describe it as we failed. We had a really good team, a team good enough to go all the way. That's pretty much how I feel right now."
