How do you spell “Choke” ??
B-R-A-V-E-S!!
For the National League divisional series’ all the ESPN baseball pundits predicted the Houston Astros to beat the Atlanta Braves, except for Alan Schwartz, despite the fact that the Braves won their 14th consecutive division title – during the most competitive season the NL East has seen in ages. I guess the fact that the Braves have won only one title in 5 tries during that time does not say much for them in the playoffs.
Meanwhile, the same pundits predict Cardinals to move on, except a brave Buster Olney. However, only Peter Gammons predicted the Padres would force a 5th game.
Strangely, they split down the middle over whether the AL would win over the NL (8/15) despite the AL’s home field advantage. However, out of those 8 to pick an AL team only two picked either the Red Sox (Eric Karabell) or the Yankees (Alan Schwartz). And, no one picked Ozzie Guillen’s Chokable White Sox. (see above)

I think the astros will beat the braves. Not because i'm a big stros fan but, we do have better pitching than the braves. Now Atlanta has great pitching also. The bigger question is, can the astros hitters step up and hit for a change?
That is the question. The 'stros have looked great as of late and are certainly in place to beat the Braves as well as the Cards.
In the NL, I am rooting for the stros! I would love to see Bagwell get a ring (unless he has to beat the BoSox to do it!) -m
For bagwell, Beating the red sox in the world series would be kind of cool. Hell, we came close to playing boston last year!
Stros looking good so far! What? The Braves not cutting it in the playoffs? I'm shocked. What is sad is that large amount of empty seats at Turner Field. Pathetic!
