Hey, perhaps we're getting all the south-east ridging out of our system before winter this year.
December 7th again please. I had a foot of snow when I lived in Acworth GA last year.
 
Every team's fan in baseball thinks their bullpen is awful outside of the Yankees. The Braves could decide to go all in on the pen and still not end up with it being worth it next year because relievers suck and are incredibly volatile outside the legendary relievers. You could get a guy pitching to a 2.5 ERA, or they could pitch a 4.8 ERA because relievers can and WILL break your heart.
 
Also, Snitker is a terrible bullpen manager.. Brach and Venters were pulled to soon.. but he also leaves pitcher in too long on occasion. He doesn't really have good feel for pitchers.

there's truth to that.. but I saw a Cards bullpen pitcher toss 100 mph consistently.. we don't have anything like that. Even the Marlins have better pitchers in the pen, overall.

The truth is, they're two very comparable teams and in actuality, even with that guy, even if it's not shown in this series, the Cards bullpen is WORSE than the Braves. I go to other places online and I seriously think if the Braves had the Cards bullpen that some of our fans at said places would have committed suicide by now.
 
Which team is playing better now? That's the important thing to remember. You're right though, I haven't paid a lot of attn to the Cards season.. just now, they're killing it in the second half. I wouldn't want to face either them or the Brewers in the post season. Actually the LA Dodgers, weirdly enough, are the Braves best bet to move to the NLCS. Assuming they don't collapse supremely against the Phils.

They also had slowed down, it's the Braves throwing up all over themselves and not playing steady, but continuing to win a few then lose a few, then repeat.
 
yeah, they haven't gone on a really long losing streak yet.. 4 or 5 games, the most.. hopefully this isn't the time they decide to do it.. ugh.
 
Yup bullpen blew it again. But hey, they are pretty much a lock for post season. They might be just holding back since it’s the end of the regular season almost.

That guy is one of the best closers in the game . His arm is special

I am happy for the long suffering Browns fans, also I think Mayfield will have his ups and downs as a rook but he seems to have the leadership intangibles you look for
 
Is American down? Or is it just me? I haven't been able to log on for at least a couple of days.
 
I can't get to it either. Seems like they are constantly having issues with that site.
Yeah, it's gone downhill, technically speaking. Hopefully, they'll get the issues corrected prior to winter.
 
Crackbabies!
Looks like the big wet part 4 , this upcoming week, has put on the brakes, like a grandma in the left lane on I 85!

I was wondering the same thing, just seen Alan tweet this!!

After nearly 15 years, my model graphics page models.americanwx.com will be no more. I want to thank all who have visited it over the years and supported the efforts. I will still create graphics on my own and post them when applicable. Thanks again.
