braves fans? anyone else mad that theyve lost 19 of their last 22? 
and that their division title streak is likely ending?
and that they give up in the playoffs every year anyway?

Yeah, this is the worst I have seen them play in a long time. They are usually at the top of the division all through out the year. I havent really followed this year as I usually do. I think they are going to have to pull something out of their *** to even get a wild card spot. And if they do make the playoffs, they most likely will choke like usual and not make the world series. It makes me kinda mad to see them play like this when they have done so good for the past 10 years or so.

14 straight division championships(but with only one world series win) and its all coming to an end. i know something like that cant last forever, but actually seeing it end is sad. their pitching has been downright terrible. i wonder how much of that mazzone leaving is responsible for.
and rumor has it they will trade andruw jones next year to keep from paying him what he deserves, much like almost every other homegrown talent they have. use them while they dont cost much, then throw em away.

they just flat out suck this year. end of story. there is 0 bullpin help so even if we do get a lead they blow it. not only are talks of trading andruw flying around but smoltz has said hes entertaining the idea as well.
on top of the pitching delima there is no reason McCann(sp?) should be the only one swinging a good bat lately. granted these guys are pros and should know how to hit by now but obviously TP isnt doing his job too well if laroach...i think...got his first rbi off a lefty THIS WEEK, i mean come on theres no excuse for any of these guys to be batting in the 100's i dont care if its a lefty or not

I've loved em since '90 when i was a little kid of 7yrs old cuz they were the only team that came on TV regularly but yeah its been rather depressing this year. i miss the mid to late 90's seasons esp. Fred "Crime Dog" McGriff even though they only won 1 WS they were awesome then but im still gonna stick by em even if they lose the division but ya never know but damn if they even think about given up A.J. then they must be smokin lots of crack in the GM's office. Its only the first half though so keep the faith!!!

they won last night.. whoo hoo... against a team with two more wins than them.. yay
lol, they have two solid starting pitchers (well 2 1/2) and no closers hardly... i saw sosa "closing" last night... he isnt normally a closer is he? Pitching is terrible.. i think the hitting is getting it done... how many games did they score more than 5 runs and STILL lose? The hitting will be there, but this pitching is absolutly horrible... im still a fan tho, im not moody like the rest of atlanta fans, lol.

<fingers crossed>and my car isnt really anything special. just cam, stall, gears, juice, and the normal boltons. if i can work out a few pesky tuning issues i would be very happy with it. but WHEN
i get the promotion at work i want im gonna tear it back down and start from scratch. id really like to go F/I. til then im just gonna work on building the suspension and take it easy on her. maybe a wild card spot is attainable.
Id hardly call a cammed, juiced, stalled, geared and usual bolt-on nothing special. Sounds like one mean SOB that could hit tens w/ the right amount of juice and good track conditions

11.35 with a 75ish(long story
)shot with about a 1.7 60ft. and that was on stock susp. with mt et streets. i figure a little suspension, along with the right jetting(again ) and get the bugs worked out of my tune, i could go 10s.
