It’s a little bit overdue, considering this happened two weeks ago, and the Atlanta Braves have since been knocked out of the playoffs. This year’s regular season finale was probably one of the more memorable ones that I can remember, because since moving down to Atlanta, the Braves have only made the playoffs twice, but that was more before I realized how easy it was to actually go to ballgames, and typically they had a playoff spot locked up well in advance. This year was under different circumstances, since the Braves literally had to fight, claw and scratch to get into the playoffs, as well as rely on some other teams to trip up in order to get it. And in typical Atlanta Braves fashion, the threat of a meltdown occurred, in the first game I went to on Friday, with an embarrassing owning at the hands of the Phillies B-team, but salvation was spared on the final day of the season, with a tense and exciting win, with the playoff-clinching loss by the Padres later on that day.
