I dunno. I tell ya what, though - I've got pretty good faith in JS. Dude is the best GM in baseball, period. Yeah - we haven't won but 1 ring since '91, but he's actually having to do it the old fashioned way now (meaning get people from the farm). AOL fucked us as far as spending, so we can't "BUY" rings like the Yankmes and the Red COX, so......

Baseball really needs a cap. If we got a cap, the Braves would probably win the WS every year......

Nice to see a Bravo fan in here, too!

I think the twins are better at this than the Braves now.

Is the ATL love stroke fest over yet? You guys had a time, but really have not done shit in years. Division champs mean nothing. You gotta at least get to the big dance.

No one remembers the winter formal queen, but everyone remembers the prom queen.

Division Championships mean nothing? You mean, out of what, 30 teams, only 6 are won? Yeah, they dont mean shit...:roll: 13 straight trips to the playoffs sure is mediocre...(sarcasm)

They mean nothing. No cares if you are a division champ or a wild card. Only if you get to play in the big game. You ever heard anyone say, "Gee, my career would be complete if only we could be division champs." Fuck no, all anyone, especially players, care about is the big dance. But see, fans get duped into thinking the division means something special. Don't kid yourself.

So you're saying that we'd be better off ending up in 4th or 5th place every year?


John Smoltz' first start of 2005 - cLaY - 04-06-2005

i think SanDog is a Padres fan...that's laughable.

No, I am saying standing around patting yourselves on the back for division series wins is a waste of time. It is nice to finish first, but it means nothing if you don't win the whole thing. Ask Redsox fan.

It makes no difference what team I support. I am a baseball fan first.

Ahhhhhh - hence the "it's better to be in 5th or 6th every year" theory. :d
