Yankees...

Since when was his death called a tragedy?  I mourn just like the next guy but people die every day.

If the Braves hit like they can the best pitching staff won\'t stop them.  Besides when you look at the Braves bullpen even the guys who never pitched were pitching great.  Spooneybargar is one guy like that.  Gryboski, Remlinger, Hammond could all easily be closers.  Seriously they are that good.  THen you throw in Smoltz.. this is like one big closers bullpen.

Sure deaths happen everyday, but when there is one that close to you, if affects you.  This was a death that was close to everyone on that team.  That\'s why it took such a toll.

And stop talking like the Braves hitting is something great.  They were BELOW AVERAGE in the regular season.  The Cards hitting is far better than the Braves.  If the Braves can hit any pitcher, then the Cards sure as hell can.  They showed that by shelling Johnson.  If they can do that to him, they can do the same to Maddux, Glavine, and Millwood.

World Series is gonna be great...

Cards vs Angels

Game 1: 19-18
Game 2: 18-19
Game 3: 12-13
Game 4: 13-12
Game 5: 15-16
Game 6: 16-15
Game 7: 29-28 *10 innings*

If that\'s the world series, I could care less who wins, those are my two picks for the world series as of a week before the playoffs started.

The Braves pitching as a whole is a lot better than Diamond Backs.   They have a better philosophy and coaching staff.     The Braves players were in slumps so what.  THey can freakin hit dude.  Javy was a 300 hitter his first year.  He is now out of his slump and back in that groove and he is the 6th hitter.   ANyways you watch the game today with the Giants.  Hopefully you will see them play right.  Even though the GIants pitcher today is pretty good.

The fact is that the Cards lineup is better.  Do you not see that?

As for the pitching, Schilling and Johnson are better than any Braves starter.  They will be 1-2 int he Cy Young vote again.  If the Cards can beat them, they can beat the Braves pitchers.

And trust me, I know the Braves lineup.  They aren\'t as good.  And by the way, if a player is hot for a week, then aren\'t breaking out of a season long slump.  The season long numbers are the norm for him, and he is just hot for a small period of time.  Nothing more.  It will pass.

And by the way, was it not Maddux, Glavine, and Millwood that were hammered by a similar Cards lineup two years ago?  You have yet to tell me why that won\'t happen again.

THere is no since in fighting who is better right now.  First lets make sure the Braves make it to the 2nd round.  Then let\'s let them play some games.  Then we can discuss it more.

Sounds like a plan

who\'s pitching for the braves tonight? i want them to kill the giants

This, from the same person that said that the season meant nothing, but it\'s the playoffs that count. Hypocricy AGAIN!

Yes, it is the same 3. First round. Hurrah. Braves were weak at the time -- Millwood had a dead arm. But oh, it\'s back now. Hell, I think, as of right now, Millwood is the best pitcher they got.

As for tonight, Glavine is the pitcher against the pitcher with the 2nd most losses in the NL. Hmm.

Good for Randy, good for Curt. Curt was shaky down the stretch, and gave up an entire 2 runs to the Cardinals, and lost. That\'s not his fault, it\'s the offense\'s fault for not giving him any support. Morris is hittable, despite the D-backs futility against him in Game 2. Hell, the Cubs shelled him in a Sunday Night game this year...only for Antonio Alfonseca to give up 6 runs in the bottom of the 9th and the Cubs to lose 10-9.

Again, Braves in 6.

See Yuz.

You mean....Braves down 6. :-P

7-1 Giants bottom 5

Like I said...trash

Atlanta better lose. GO SF, my new favorite team!

Yes, go Giants.  I may hate them, but I hate the Braves that much more

I knew they would probably lose today. Glavine is either on.. or off.  When he is on he may give up a hit and that is it.  When he is off well you seen.  What you said about the Braves fan earlier is kidna crappy.  Just cause you hear that they don\'t get super high attendances on tv you say the braves have bad fans.  I watched every game on tv this year.  As do a lot of people I know.  I have only been to one game.  So does that mean I am a bad fan now?  I think not.  Just cause you do not go to the actual place doesn\'t really mean your a bad fan.  Atlanta is a hard place to get through anyway.
