2010 NLDS: Braves @ Giants

[Cocos Disciples]

In my opinion this is the most evenly matched series of the first round. Both teams secured their spot in the playoffs on the last day of the season, and I could easily see this series going either way. This is the first playoff appearance for Atlanta since 2005, the last of their 14 year stretch. It's been since 2003 for San Francisco. I'd like to see the Braves make a run in Bobby Cox's last season.

Prediction: Braves in 5.

[bsox0407]

Braves in 4. Buster Posey is gonna be silent in the playoffs. Kinda hope i am wrong.

[Keeper]

Giants in 5.

[CanadianSox]

I'd like to see the Braves win, if only for Bobby Cox. But I think the Giants might be able to pull this off in 4.

[EXman369]

[italstallianion]

I'm going with Braves in 5.

[VA Sox Fan]

Wish I could stay up for the whole game.

[italstallianion]

Snap, the Giants got Robin Williams mojo, so the Braves are screwed.

If TBS producers have any brains at all, they'll get Williams in the booth tonight.

 

NESN certainly would.

[italstallianion]

Then nobody would pay attention to the game.

[Cocos Disciples]

Lincecum is absolutely dealing right now.

[yankees228]

Lincecum is absolutely dealing right now.

 

He looks like 2008/09 Lincecum. Even the velocity has been there.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Lincecum is absolutely dealing right now.

 

I'll say. 6 Ks already.

[yankees228]

Great job by Lowe.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

To be honest that looked like he got tagged stealing second. I could be wrong though.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Giants strike first. My boy Cody is always coming through.

[Youk Of The Nation]

A Phillies-Giants NLCS Game 1 with Halladay vs. Lincecum has the potential to be epic.

[yankees228]

Best game of the postseason so far. This has been very fun to watch.

[yankees228]

Wow, reminiscent of Bonds right there.

[Divinity]

Rather surprised the Braves managed to come back and win this game, I assumed it was about to 4th series to start 2 - 0

Giants aren't done yet. As Yankees' fans we know quite well that Farnsworth can implode.
