Of course the Braves will lose. I have no illusions that they will even make it to the big show. Great pitchers, great managers, shitty hitters. If the Bravos could just pick up anyone that could be bothered to hit more than .275 then they would do a lot better. Heck, I'd settle for a half decent base stealer. That pitching roster won't last forever. Smoltz is already in a wheelchair.
