In Hollywood, the players storm out onto the field, their exuberance matched only the lusty cheers of the tens of thousands of the faithful; the goat from the night before tosses his helmet into the exuberant atmosphere as he is mobbed at home plate, his replica Omega 2573.70 Ladie's watch redemption validated by the teeming crowd that booed him from the bottom of their collective heart not 24 hours ago.In Atlanta, though, that starter argues to stay in the game and walks the next hitter to load the bases, paving the way for the tying and go-ahead runs to score.
In Atlanta, the hometown kid, indispensable in propelling the team this far, strikes out with runners on first and second and denies the crowd their joy.In Atlanta, a team forced to rely on aging veterans and raw rookies does not succeed.In Atlanta, reality sets in.And this series loss is, in one harsh word, reality.If we're being honest with ourselves, replica Omega 951277.30 watch much of the hope the Braves had for Postseason success relied upon two things: the fact that anything can happen in a five-game series, and the hope that the guys could come together as one and, somehow, pull off the 11-for-6 slogan they wore over their hearts.
Unfortunately, reality has little tolerance for hope, or for the kind of magic that so often colors the sepia-toned retrospectives of the games that have ingrained themselves in the national consciousness for over a century.Reality dictates that this Braves team, boasting a good pitching staff and a weak lineup that needs to cobble together a replica Omega 2517.80 watch few runs in order to win…will be hamstrung by a porous defense.Reality tells us that the Giants were, ultimately, better.The Braves were backed into a corner, their last resort that of hope for some Win It For Bobby miracle, and reality took that away.The reality, now, is that the season is over.
