    The Braves annoy me

    Team is not that good. I watch their games fairly regularly and it seems like they're always getting a ton of breaks -- especially at home. Keep waiting for the regression to come, yet they keep finding ways to win.

    I've been waiting on them to regress as well but they just keep winning. They remind me of the damn falcons, they just catch break after break to win games

    I've been watching the cards a lot lately and during this losing streak and I keep wondering how they had the best record in baseball for so long without being able to hit the ball.

    Been annoying the crap out of me for ever.
    1996 was one of the best years of me being a Yankee fan.
    Braves fans shoving shit at me before the playoffs on how my Yankees have no chance. Zero.
    Yanks down 0-2, going Atlanta yet, the Braves fans wouldnt' STFU, beyond annoying.

    You all know the rest of the story.

    Falcons fans are almost as bad.

    Very strikeout prone team that relies way too much on the homerun ball. Their biggest edge is their pitching and that's why they keep winning. I doubt they get far into the playoffs though with that low batting AVG.

    What's with all the hate guys? Just let us do what we do best-have a decent regular season and win our division, only to lose the first round of the playoffs lol. Seriously though, I think we're better now than we've been in quite some time. If we could really get another quality SP we'd be pretty set. We do have some pretty annoying fans though, I can agree-last year's wildcard game is proof of that, how they reacted after the blatant blown infield fly call in the 7th inning. But it's just like every team out there-you have some good fans and some crazy ones.

    .... and play to half filled stadiums all season, only to come out of the woodwork for the playoffs and do that beyond annoying tomahawk chant thing. Which is worse than college basketball fans doing the European soccer chant thing, which is still not as bad as fans doing the wave which had its 15 minutes of fame 15 years ago.

    Thank God Papelbon doesn't pitch for the Braves. That would multiply the annoyance factor exponentially.

    how can yall say that are not a good team? To whoever said the bloop then flare then bloop..dont they lead the league in home runs? I follow them very closley...if you have followed them the last month or so you will start to notice that they are starting to hit for average and its going to be scary if they can continue that trend with the pitching they have

    the only thing about the braves that annoys me the most is that f-ing tomahawk chop and indian chant - luckily I hardly watch any games and just follow play by play on computer

    chris johnson, freddie freeman...string together a few hits and they got a few runs. and with xfactors like those homers or strike out players (ugga/upton/heyward) and you got a surprisingly productive offense. with the best bullpen in the league, that's all they need.

    Keep waiting...you'll be waiting a long time. They play like 3 teams above .500 and all games on the east cost after the all star break. They have the weakest schedule.

    weakest schedule remaining or period? didnt they just sweep the cardinals? i know they have been playing bad latley...but going into that series they were playing great...i agree they always fall in the playoffs, but this by no means is a bad team

    They have the weakest schedule remaining. There not a bad team, however not great either. They almost have more strikeouts then hits. There a team that can make a post-season, but thats all.

    What makes Detroit "worse" than last year?

    We'll just see what happens. Detroit is far from perfect -- I'm critical of them all the time here -- but they're as complete as anyone in the AL.

    idk maybe I just don't see it .. But I think they'll have trouble vs really good pitching teams which most of the al contenders have

    How is that any different than last year, when the Tigers won the AL?
