Well, the Twins will get MLB to four teams with 100 wins. The Braves are coasting into the playoffs, and that generally means an early exit. I hope that I am wrong, but rarely do teams that stop playing hard once they clinch make it to the World Series. I get that they have a few nicked up players, but so does every other team in MLB.There's a slim chance there are six 100 game winning teams. A's have to win out to get to 100 games. Twins and Braves are each 4 away.
We Braves fans have become pretty cynical and expect to lose in the playoffs.Well, the Twins will get MLB to four teams with 100 wins.

A sports team from the state of Georgia is destined to disappoint in the postseason.Well, the Twins will get MLB to four teams with 100 wins.

I both like and dislike this because the truth sometimes sucks.A sports team from the state of Georgia is destined to disappoint in the postseason.

Doesn't matter - the Braves are losing in the first round. They have turned it off, and they are about to learn that baseball doesn't work that way. They may get swept.The weird thing is that we have to wait for our opponent on the last day of the season.

Yep. It is typical of Atlanta sports.Doesn't matter - the Braves are losing in the first round. They have turned it off, and they are about to learn that baseball doesn't work that way. They may get swept.
I really, really hope that I am wrong, but the Braves don't have the pitchers to win unless their bats are hot, and hitting is a streaky thing. You can't coast - ever. It is too hard to get out of a hitting/scoring funk and get hot again.Yep. It is typical of Atlanta sports.
That isn't really that true. Especially when you are talking about the #2 vs #3 seeds. Its usually true about #1 seeds because they have to play against a team that have already played a postseason game.Doesn't matter - the Braves are losing in the first round.

Beating the Dodgers in a 7 game series will be very, very hard. Same for the Astros. Best chance to get either is in a short series, and even that probably won't happen.I think Washington and St. Louis are proving me right in that the Braves needed #2 over #1. The Dodgers have to deal with a much tougher lineup and pitching rotation for 5 games than the Braves.
Honestly out of the two (washington and LA) I would rather get LA. Sure Washington is the weaker team, but they are a team that has pitchers that have absoloutly dominated us. We havent had much success at all vs Scherzer or Stras, and Annibal has given us major headaches. Then you see a lineup that has seen our pitchers alot. It really is a nightmare. Plus I couldn't stomach the possibility of a Nationals championship.Beating the Dodgers in a 7 game series will be very, very hard. Same for the Astros.

I am pulling for all teams to clinch today.This is a weird day. Everybody is playing today and all teams could clinch today.
I would like for the Twins to get the Yankees out, but I would much rather the Championships just go ahead and start ASAP.I am pulling for all teams to clinch today.
Yep - the Twins are not beating them 3 games in a row, so let's get get this over and move on.I would like for the Twins to get the Yankees out, but I would much rather the Championships just go ahead and start ASAP.
