It is just not our night.

Bottom of the 9th and we need three to tie. We can do it!

[TheKingofSting]

Well the Phils lose and of course we do too.

Braves lose 5-2, fail to make up ground on Philly, who also lost tonight.

I felt good about the game for a second, but the 6th killed that, and we're playing from behind again.

We failed to take advantage of Philly losing yesterday, so we must find a way to win today....Go Braves

[HMFFL]

Thank you Nate!

Going by the box score and updating as often as possible so I have a delayed reaction.

[Nemesis21]

Freeman with the walk off RBI single in the 9th.

Braves win 9-8
