The Braves haven't "choked" in their entire playoff run. There is a reason other teams make the playoffs. A lot of the teams the Braves have faced were fighting in September for a spot while much of the time the Braves were just cruising along. They just haven't been able to get in the groove.

yeah a 'groove'. Right, that is their problem...didnt they have one of the best offenses in the game last season? Didnt they have one of the best records in baseball? Didnt they have a ridiculous closer in Smoltz and a starting staff that was very good too? When will they find this 'groove'?!!! YOu find a "groove" when you're competing for something. The Braves didn't do well in September at all compared to the rest of their season. Smoltz was hurt in the playoffs, which was big, too.

I bet if you guys had Gary Matthews, Jr. LAST year, you would've made the W.S.

that's true the Braves always clinch the division early and they coast the rest of the year. Then in the playoffs they're never able to turn it back on. Tthey're just too good for themselves....

You're just making assumptions based on little substance.

And remind me again what you are doing? You said the Marlins wouldn't have won the World Series if they didn't make that trade. You can't really assume that. If you can, then I will assume the Marlins lost 3 World Series' by trading ADRIAN. Miggy, I posted that and you said I was making assumptions. Juanky just happened to defend my post. But I will do it for myself - we traded Adrian for Urbina, right? Let me put it this way, without Urbina, our bullpen doesnt get solidified and our climb gets that much harder. Am I stretching? Maybe, but not by much and if you consider we have Stokes, Conine and Choi - I fail to see why we should have kept Adrian Gonzalez too. Seems we got enough talent at 1B right now AND a World Series trophy.

 

Again, if you think not getting Urbina would have still allowed us to win the WS, then you are definetly a Braves fan - f'in crazy.

I thank you for assuring me being a Braves fan.
