Looking ahead to the Atlanta Braves' postseason

Here’s where I pose questions as we look ahead to the Atlanta Braves’ postseason, and here’s where you get to answer them.

1.  Is Mike Minor still the Game 1 starter? Or has Kris Medlen claimed that honor with his stellar second half? And if so, do you really want Minor starting Game 2 at home and leaving the rookie Julio Teheran to work Game 3 on the road?

2.  Does Paul Maholm make the postseason roster? Or does Freddy Garcia make it ahead of Maholm?

3.  With the struggles of Scott Downs, has Alex Wood now become the No. 1 left-handed reliever?

4.  Does Dan Uggla make the postseason roster? Does B.J. Upton? And if either/both do, does either/both actually start a game?

5.  Who’s the most favorable Round 1 matchup for the Braves? The Reds? The Pirates? The Dodgers?

6.  Who’s the worst Round 1 matchup?

7.  How should the Braves handle these final six games? Rest everybody and not worry about trying to secure the best record in National League? Play everybody and try to lock down the No. 1 seed? Rest some guys one night and others the next?

8.  Is the infield-fly rule still in effect for this October?

I’ll hang up and listen to your responses? Thanks for your participation.

A better Georgia Tech yields only an emphatic loss

Georgia Tech got the start it wanted and, at least for a little while, ran the option the way Paul Johnson wants it run.
