I guess we'll never know if the Cubs would have choked in the post season.

I'm moving on with my life. Although I think 2345 is in a state of manic depression right now.

Insanity = being a Cubs fan and not noticing the last 90 years.

Well, one team already got their nearly-century-old curse broken. We're just waiting for ours. :(

Some day. Some day.

Braves will win the NL East but have to beat the St. Louis Cardinals in order to go the the World Series and that's a big obstacle. Braves should have taken 2 out of 3 of the last series. Losing in the bottom of the 9th on a Grand Slam just didn't cut it in the final game. :bad:

I've never cared if the braves do good in the playoffs. What do you think tells more about a team...5 or 6 games in a lousy series or 162 games??
After dominating for 162 games, I wouldn't even show up for the playoffs.

Do people forget that the braves have won a world series during the Cox era?? and the fact that they have won the NL 3 or 4 times???

Well too bad, no matter how you slice it, the playoffs are more important than the regular season. Period. It's all about the league champs and the World Series over all.

The Braves should have more to show than just five World Series appearances and just one Series win for all those division titles.

The Braves run, as incredible as it has been, has had some cases of bad timing when it comes to winning the World Series. They seem to have a knack for running up against opposing players having the performance of their lives - Jack Morris in the 1991 World Series, Jim Friggin' Leyritz in the 96 WS, Livan Hernandez with Eric Gregg's 2 foot wide strike zone in the 97 NLCS etc . . .

Such is baseball. You just gotta be prepared for it -- And hope your team is on a streak.

And Jmx, you don't think one World Series title in how ever many odd playoff appearances they've had rests a little on the side of underacheivement?

I don't think there's any such thing as underachieving in World Series trophies. They are just that hard to come by.

But then there is also the issue of no WS appearances in the last 5 years, possibly six if they can't get by the Cards.

Not hating here or anything. Just sayin'

But that just goes to prove my point. The last 5 years, there has been a different National League representative in the WS every year.

162 games, a 5 game division series, a 7 game NLCS and a 7 game World Series is a lot to survive.
