that 92 game was so intense. I think there was another patented "bases loaded no out - no runs scored" from the Braves.

I had forgotten about some of the things that led to that 9th inning rally. Braves definitely got lucky on the 2B error and some questionable calls behind the plate. I think it was the Berryhill walk but I could be mistaken. Dude called a pitch right down the middle a ball LOL.

I also had forgotten that we were up in the series 3-1. Really close to another Braves epic fail.

Realize now why we are cursed against the Cardinals in the playoffs. It’s payback for this arse molestation we put in LaRussa in this 96 NLCS. Good lord.

It’s funny watching these games. Players wearing those shitty little league socks that have the fake stirrup stripe down the side. fricking Gary Gaetti pulled his socks up so tight that the stripe ended at the top of his ankles.

some questionable calls behind the plate.

That's one thing I have been trying to pay attention to when watching these older games. I remember non-Braves fans bitching about Glavine, Smoltz, and Maddux getting calls other pitchers didn't get, but I have noticed a pretty consistent strike zone for both Braves' and their opponents' pitchers.

Maybe that has something to do with playoff umpire crews vs. regular season, I don't know, but especially with the '95 NLCS Game 7, Glavine established how low and outside the home plate umpire would call a strike and kept tossing it in that area.

McCarver said as much in the Top of the 1st.
