    Atlanta: 8.0 back in the wildcard

    Cincinatti= a joke

    Atlanta: historically a July team

    Atlanta: 4 games with Cincinatti soon

    Stay tuned...

    it may all be a crap-shoot and a long-shot, but at least I am willing to admit that is what it is, unlike some biased fans who claim that their team will dominate everyone they play, and that their cuban pitcher "Solar" will be a force to be reckoned with by year's end

    P.S. when was the last time the Mets won it all?

    When was the last time the Braves did?

    the braves have existed since 1871. they have threee total championships. the mets have existed since only 1962 and have two championships. since the mets started in 62, they have two championships to the braves one. so since the mets have existed, they have outperformed the braves. and if you dont care about history, take a look at the current standings.

    that is a joke

    14 straight playoff births

    The Braves were a big-time joke a lot of those years from 62-90, but 14 straight playoff births...

    that's damn hard to do

    and will never be done again

    some wiseass will come in now and say that 14 playoffs births and 1 championship taints the legacy, but the Yankee teams they lost to were some of the best teams ever, and early in the 90s, it was quite frankly luck that got ATL as far as they went

    its "berths".

    getting to the playoffs a bunch of times, hey thats great. its also nice that the braves are legendary choke artists who have an incredible ability to not close the deal.

    atlanta is a legenday city for being terrible at sports. the braves fit right in that legacy. the braves are chumps and consistently lose when it matters.

    losing in the playoffs constantly isnt that great of an honor. the mets have won 2 championships since they were born, in that time, the braves only were able to not choke one time. the braves are an embarassment to baseball, they should be banned from the league and their stadium should be burned down.

    Oh Cmon,
    If the Braves are that bad what does that mean to other teams that are actually worse than them.
    Lets see, Tampa Bay, aints, Bills Dodgers, Giants, Rockies, Cubs...
    You get the picture.
