Man, I\'m glad that the Braves won tonight. Magic Number: 1. They\'re going to do it! In the beginning of the season, I never would\'ve expected Philadelphia to even have a winning record. It is amazing what Larry Bowa did with that team, even though I don\'t care for him too much. I actually had Arizona going to the World Series in my Spring Training predictions. But I didn\'t want to put them ahead of my Braves, hehe, so I picked the Braves. Another thing is Oakland, like you said. I remember in May/June thinking \"That\'s got to be so frusturating for the fans.\" But they turned it around nicely. And don\'t forget: last year, Oakland took the Yanks to 5 games in the ALDS. It was a great series. I don\'t think the Braves will reach the World Series, as much as I hate to say that, even though I want them to. If they face the Cards again, I think they\'re dead. If they face Arizona, they\'ll have trouble. Bobby Cox is has to pull something out of his bag o\' tricks...Also, damnit! I can\'t stand Barry Bonds. Cockiest, most arrogant player I have ever seen. I know he\'s a good player, but as a person, phsst. I\'m rooting for Sosa next year. All the way to 75 (I hope).
