The Yankees better win, their payroll rivals our budget for Iraq right now. I'm a huge Braves fan, I've enjoyed their current streak. For once, the Braves offense is one of their strong points instead of holding them back.

what's amazing is what the braves have been able to do on a limited budget. their payroll is what like 1/2 that of the yankees??

No, what's amazing is what the A's have done with a payroll that's 1/3 of the Yankees.

They're even picked by many to win it all this year.

it will be fun watching the braves win a whole bunch of games this year and still not win the world series again.

Too bad they lost tonight, but they have been unconscious as of late. I still get mad at Chipper making $15 mil a year......he's definitely not done anything to deserve that IMO since his MVP year. Of course he's a great Met Killer----but like Conan said about the AF pamphlets, who needs Chipper anymore to beat the Mets.

Their run of division titles over the past decade is amazing. They'd have more World Series wins too for those that know the agony of a certain pitcher's blown save. I can never spell his name right, but wasn't it Aguliar that porked one for them?

Plus---I hope Mark Wohlers dies a fiery death. Anyone that has a 100MPH fastball and instead blows a game by hanging a GODDAM slider to that catcher (his name has slipped me) should be shot. Ahh. Jim Lehritz is his name. Bastard. That would have put us up 3-1 ( I think). Granted, we lost in 6........but da-am. I still hurt to this day over that game.

[edit] actually, come to think of it, I don't remmeber the game outcome win/loss wise to that lost world Series. [/edit]
