What's this?

I'd forgotten that. I remember the 1982 post-season loss to the Cards)

The Braves were leading Game 1 1-0 behind Phil Niekro & were 2 outs from an official game when the umps decided to stop the game. Not only did the Braves lose a win, but they couldn't use Niekro again for a few days. Since the Cards had more & better starting pitching, the umps' decision was quite favorable to them.

And of course, the Cards' manager showed a lot of class in the post-season last year. (Not.) Go Cubs!!
