August 22, 200917 yr Great win. But I'd like to say the Atlanta Braves organization should really be embarassed for allowing the game to go on. I understand how important it was, but by allowing that 9th inning to occur after 2 1/2 hours on the soaking wet field when it is pouring harder than when the game was stopped, you risk injury to all players involved. I think it was a major safety hazard to allow that game to continue. But I knew that since we were playing in the ATL the game would continue whether it be at 12:30 or 3:30, that game was going to begin at some point regardless. Still, great game by Anibal, Hanley being Hanley, Jeremy stepping up when needed, and we gain a game in the WC and division!

They're the ones who messed up. Yes, if Atlanta had said "fine, let's end this" the umps probably would have called it but that would be stupidity on Atlanta's part. No team should ever forfeit a game at this junction. It's the stupidity on the umpire's for not calling it, no matter how the home team felt about it. Like the game in Boston. You remember how much the Red Sox were bitching after that? The umpires shouldn't care.
August 22, 200917 yr I didn't catch the end of the game after the rain delay, just saw the Cody play on sportscenter today. Absolutely sick throw. From the track to 2B on a rope.
August 22, 200917 yr Despite his 3-run HR, and hard hit ball there at the end, I'd like to thank Adam LaRoche for his stupid baserunning move in the 9th, as well. I guess he just wanted the game to end just like us, as well. Right, his run didn't even matter even if he would of made it to 2nd and scored on a base hit.
