    That's reassuring... I picked them to win the AL West, and I've been worried, until now image

    LOL. Brian, what team do you root for? I forgot. Is it the Braves?

    Yeah, the Braves. I predicted them to win the division with a .580 W/L.

    Same story this year as before - everyone discounts them and says this is the year they lose the division. They hang in there in the first half of the season, and get hot after the AS break. Although they've sucked in the playoffs in the past, this team seems different. They have the second best W/L record at home 38-17 (Houston is first 39-16) so if they hang on to the division, they should get at least to the second round. And they seem to have more depth. These young guys are hungry to win.

    Yeah, the Atlanta Braves are the Buffalo Bills of baseball but at least they have one World Championship to show for it. Just think, they could be the 2001 Seattle Mariners. image Their run has been simply amazing and Cox and their pitching coach Mazzone should get more credit.

    At least they aren't the amazing 200 million dollar men of .500 misery like the 2005 yankees.

    I've been a Braves fan since 1990 - I picked them again this year - what else could I do - but I will consider rooting for her:
