Do anyone thinks that the Atlanta Braves will win another division title?

Kyle Davies pitches tonight. Huddy tomorrow. Jorge Sosa on Sunday. These are the probables.\n\nGet familiar with the sports section of your newspaper. Every time there's a new series, your hometown newspaper will print the probable pitchers for the series.\n\nRight now the rotation looks like Smoltz, Thompson, Davies, Huddy, Sosa. But I don't know if this is absolutely right as I'm not a Braves fan.\n\nPitching rotations are subject to change based on injuries or other factors. The manager usually decides the rotation. \n\nOtherwise, you can always check espn.com. Here:

Yepp yepp, gotta support my home team!\n\nI have my hopes up that the Astros will bring home the World Series again. Now just because Roger Clemens is back, but also because we have a pretty solid team. Yeah, we did lose some games we should have won, but hey, it's still a long way to go in the season.\n\nThe Rocket's return will help them a lot. Oswalt is injured, Wandy is in a slump, and well, our other pitchers aren't that great.\n\nSo in conclusion, yes, I strongly believe that the Astros can and WILL make it to the World Series again!\n\n!!!GO ASTROS!!!

I do know that the current Braves ownership is looking to sell the team, but they will not be sold to an ownership group that would move the team.  The Braves will be in Atlanta for years to come, but probably with a new owner.

They've had solid starting pitching for most of the last decade, but that doesn't mean much in the playoffs. They need guys who can put it together for a few games in a row during a short series. You can have the best pitching in the world during the regular season, and that by itself doesn't guarantee a championship. I think they can win their division again, but the playoffs are a total crapshoot.

nope.  They aren't even one of the two best teams in their division (much less baseball), so eventually they will fade.  Their pitching is sucpect big-time.

They can. The division isn't what it had been the past few years. It really all depends on the Braves. If the Braves make the right moves and their young players develop the right way then they always have a shot at overtaking the Mets. It really is a two horse race in that division though.

they should have a winning record, but i think making the playoffs is a stretch.  they're not as good as the cards or the astros, and the brewers are much improved.  this could very well be the toughest division to win in baseball.\n\njuan pierre will jump start the offense, a huge improvement over corey patterson.  if aramis ramirez and derrek lee can stay healthy, holy cow... they are gonna score a lot of runs.\n\nbut the questions about kerry wood and the closer situation make me worried.  carlos zambrano will have to be the one to carry them. \n\ni'd say 85 wins for the fuzzy cubbies this year.

they could possibly win one this year or next year. They have a good basketball team with labron james and are expected to make it to the mlb players, so they have a good chance this year

I've picked against them the past 3 years (even though I'm a long time Braves fan).  However, Bobby Cox is a great manager, and they always have just enough to win the division.  I feel that Leo Mazzone played a great role in their success due to dominance of the pitching staff and his ability to retread seemingly washed up pitchers.  Now that he's gone, I think we'll really see how important he was.  I've got a feeling their pitching won't be as good without them.\n\nThen again, even if the pitching falls off quite a bit, they've got a LOT of good young players with some experience under their belt, and their offense could turn out to be better than usual.\n\nIn my humble opinion, the Mets should win the division with all the trades and signings they made.  If they don't, then they need to make a lot of orgainizational changes.

I wish they would. It would be good for baseball. However, they need to win their division or be the wild card before they can compete for the right to play in the World Series. Both are highly unlikely in the next three years. They just do not have the talent/

I think second place wouldn't be too shabby! The Tigers are alot like my REDS,every time I expect to see a loss,I am surprised with yet another win! WHoahhhhhhhh,wouldn't a Detroit-Cincinnati World Series be sweet!

They have a legitimate chance to make the playoffs as a WC team. The WS is going to be a tough place for them to get to, but it is possible. Remember the bad starts that they've had the last two years? They came back from those to reach the NLCS in '04 and then the WS in '05.\n\nThey have Clemens now, and will soon get Brandon Backe back into the rotation. Oswalt is pitching good, but getting little run support. Wandy Rodriguez has been amazing, and if he stays healthy this could be his break-out year. If Pettitte and the bullpen can find the groove they were in last year, look for the Astros in October.\n\nLike last year, this team is all about the pitching. The batting, although not as good as in '04, is doing much better than in '05. If Chris Burke stays hot, he might be the spark the lineup needs to catch fire. With Berkman and Ensberg healthy now, we might see more of that 19-9 type playing that they showed at the beginning of the season.

If our pitching stays the course, yes.\n\nThe Tigers have the LOWEST era in MLB.\n\nI can't wait to visit "The Cell" and return the favor (sweeping them at home).\n\nIt is going to be an interesting year.\n\nHistory has shown the WS champs hardly repeat, so to all you white sox fans that "claim" you can repeat, I say "Good Riddance!"\n\nWe'll talk more in September.
