Don’t go breaking my heart
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Pettitte vs. Hudson. Clemens vs. Smoltz. Oswalt vs. Sosa. Formidable matchups all. And we’ve owned Houston in playoffs past.
But if this team can’t get it done in the first round this year, I honestly won’t know what to think about our Braves and what’s been such an exciting ride during this sort of mini NL East Worst-to-First season. Blaming the bullpen is easy but no team is perfect and World Series winners are the teams that find a way to win, flaws and all.
This First Round Curse of late is no joke. Maybe the young Kids, and hopefully the grizzled vets, will finally come to understand what other postseason teams just “get”: Play like there’s no tomorrow. Because this town’s been waiting a long time to spend a few more tomorrows with the Braves and today we believe it’s our game to win.
