Why do the Braves even bother going to the playoffs?

Post by Jeff 2K5 »

:roll:

Every year they win the division and every year they choke and get bounced out of the playoffs in embarrassing fashion. They're not built to win in the playoffs and every year it shows. They'll go into next season not having won a division series in 5 years and not having made the World Series in 7. Thanks for playing Braves. :roll:

Enjoy your final division title for a while Bravefan, Nats in 06! :lol:

Thank God that's over. That game was painful to watch. Now the 'stros can get back to what they do best. Lose playoff series'.

Props to Burke and the Astros on the win...that game was a battle of last man standing. Both teams exhaust their benches and their bullpens...it's a tough game to lose. Extra inning playoff baseball doesn't hold a candle to overtime playoff hockey but you can't complain about a walk-off home run to end a competitive series.

I'd compare Bobby Cox to Schottenheimer,but Cox has at least won the big one.

At least back in the day they made it to the NLCS every year. Now they really choke in the playoffs.

The lack leadership from their everyday players. They seem to go thru the motions and like fire on the field. Smoltz is the only one on that team that looks like he wants to win. Andruw Jones is a joke and lazy ignorant spic.
