Braves not part of equation
With Major League Baseball's playoffs around the corner, many people following the sport have some burning questions.
Will the Chicago White Sox choke away their lead in the American League Central Division? If the White Sox hang on, will they have enough left in the tank to win the World Series? Can the St. Louis Cardinals make it back to the big show to atone for last year's dismal performance against the Boston Red Sox? And, who will come out on top in the bitter rivalry between the Red Sox and the New York Yankees?
None of us are paying attention to the Atlanta Braves, who are about to clinch yet another division title. Why should we? They only have one world championship to show for all those playoff appearances. We've been conditioned to write these guys off.
