    General observation: I’d probably really hate the Braves with a burning passion too if the Braves had a perfect record against my squad in every playoff game they had ever played vs them in my lifetime (especially if my favorite team had only made like 5 or 6 total postseason appearances throughout my entire lifespan-yeesh).

    As for last night’s game: It just sucks and I hate it so much for the Sillies that both of their past two generational post season runs-that included two amazing NLDS round upsets over their hated typical big brother division rival-never ended with a World Series title!

    Are you "big brother" if they beat you every year? Not sure about that

    Previous 5 seasons alone:

    Team A: 1 WS Title, 5 division titles

    Team B: 0 WS Titles, 0 division titles, 3/5 seasons where they missed playoffs entirely

    Lol yea, I’m “not sure” too

    I've hated the Braves since before OO was born.

    I just hate them more now because of insufferable fans like OO.

    Congrats to the Phillies and the Braves on winning the same thing this season - early tee times.

    Talking big shit for a fan of a team that the Braves beat 8-0 in August

    Knowing Marge freaking Schott ran your beloved team and only making post season appearances the same amount of times throughout your entire lifetime that the Braves have themselves made in the past 6 seasons alone seems like stuff that would actually be “insufferable” if you asked me to try to think from your Reds loving/Braves hating perspective. Lil ole me merely sharing Braves/Reds factoids you find unpleasant personally shouldn’t be “insufferable” to you.

    "I'm not insufferable," man says while giving example of how to be insufferable.

    Nothing I have said in this thread here today is not true. But…just wondering what exactly was the most insufferable aspect of what I have said this morning?

    The pointing out that the Braves have a perfect playoff record vs the Reds in both of our lifetimes?

    Or…was me highlighting the mere fact that the Braves have the same amount of combined playoff appearances within the past six seasons that the Reds have in your entire lifespan the most insufferable thing? Just curious, truly.

    I would not classify foremost experts like Cubs and Reds fans as it pertains to early tee times in relation to the conclusion of each baseball season as “talking big shit” personally. Like yea, y’all would each know well about what that’s like considering y’all’s tee times typically starts much earlier than ours does.

    I’m the opposite. I’ll actually watch this series. I wouldn’t have watched a single pitch of a Phillies-Astros rematch had it happened. If my team can’t win it, give me all the anarchy and new blood.

    That's where I am. Also Corbin Carroll is very good and fun to watch.
