The view from Atlanta

One of the great things about the Internet – especially for sports fans – is that it allows you to check out the coverage in the other team’s town.


So how do you think they’re feeling this morning in Atlanta? Uh, not good.


Columnist Mark Bradley of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution wastes no time in leading the charge to castigate the Braves as an utter failure.

In short, it's the Tomahawk Chop turned Tomahawk Choke.


Those of us who somehow managed to survive the Phils’ epic collapse in 1964 can empathize with Atlanta fans. The Braves somehow managed to blow an eight and a half game lead in the NL Wild-Card race.


And just for good measure, the squandered a 3-1 lead to the Phils last night.


They had company in Beantown. The Red Sox blew a game to the Orioles and in the process cost themselves a shot at the AL Wild-Card spot.


No such angst here in Philly. It’s on to Red October and a date with the St. Louis Cardinals at Citizens Bank Park.


Unfortunately all we know is that they’re playing the Cards. We still don’t know the times. They have not yet been set by Major League Baseball.
