Anyone here an Atlanta Braves fan?

Yes it was love at first sight. Last year (when I moved away from Atlanta) was the first year since becomming a fan that I didn't go to a game. I used to joke that the upper deck of Turner Field was my summer home, I was there so often. I love John Smoltz (though I think he should be moved back to closer), adore Marcus Giles, cried when Javy Lopez left, and have full confidence that (even though our pitching staff sucks right now) at the end of the season we will have another division pennant to hang on the left field wall, I chop till my arm hurts weather at a game, watching one on TBS or listening to Skip, Chip, Pete, or Don on the radio. I even have a "shrine" to the Braves in my bedroom.\nGo Braves. Don't stop the Chop!

Well, I'm a 'Hawks fan.  I wear my OLD SCHOOL Seahawks Jersey (cuz I was a fan THEN too!) EVERY Sunday as I watch the entire game from the very edge of my seat, screaming and shouting to "THROW THE F'N BALLLLLL!!!!!"  ;)  \n\nI've got decals on my truck, and when I finally turn my basement into my game room, it's gonna be ALL about my 'Hawks! Even my MySpace page is all Hawks!  :)  Oh yeah.. plus, even though I'm a "girl"... I know the rules, etc better than most guys I know.  Oh... and I bought a 55" widescreen so I could see the game better.  :)  Honestly... I BOUGHT the damn thing for football.  Not movies... FOOTBALL.  I'm crazy.  :S  \n\nOf course BEING a Seahawks fan... simply being a fan every year MAKES me a diehard fan.  LOL  Seahawks fans... you know what I mean.  :)  We love our Hawks even when they suck (which they DID for a REALLY long time... till recently).  :)

Any Braves closer right now. Our pitching staff sucks and we aren't even going to win our Eastern Division title this year........I am so disappointed.  I just want my old team back.  Why did they have to get rid of Furcal, Maddox, Glavine....to name a few?

I am afraid they will struggle around .500 this season, falling between 3rd and 4th place unless some major roster moves are done before Feb. They are very weak at 3rd base and with their pitchers, especially starters.  No one is a true Ace, and they could very easily have two rookies in the rotation on opening day.  Meanwhile the Mets have spent like crazy and the Braves are the Braves.

Cubbies!!! We must be masichists to be Cubs fans. Gotta love 'em.  We went to the Sunday game on memorial day weekend and watched them pull 7 runs out of their butts in the 8th inning. Some days they are on, some days they aren't. Stay strong Captain Cubby!

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.

As a die hard WHITE SOX fan I am hoping that they DO!  After our tremendous year last year and KNOWING what it is like to live in a town that has two teams but the other ALWAYS get the atttention (but for you at least the Yankees win  it still baffels me cuz the Cubs suck) I am rooting for them all the way!!   If the White Sox don't make it (? and I usually root for AL) and the METS do, I want you to know that there will be at least one person in Chicago that will be supporting them.  Screw the Yankees and Red Sox!  If you are a Mets fan -  God you have to be SICK AND TIRED of them!!!!!!!!!!!  Good luck!

My all time Yankees team is the team that collapsed two years ago after being up 3 games in the ALCS. Love that team so much!!! I love the Red Sox.

Because most fans here are bandwagon jumpers, not true fans. They'll only support somebody that wins the whole enchilada. I don't go to regular season home games as much because the whole experience seems a whole lot more phony and cheesy these days. There was nothing wrong with Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, plus it had lots of history. Lastly, paying six bucks for a beer is against my religion.

THEY WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS BUT THEY WON WIN IT ALL.  THE BRAVES WILL NOT WIN THE DIVISION FOR THE 15TH TIME...I THINK THE METS HAVE TO MANY BULLPEN AND STARTER PROBLEMS.

I believe they will be trumped out of the pennant by the New York Mets. The braves dont have the starting pitching they need and they have a bunch of young but promising players that wont get the job done. I like the mets followed by the phillies. I figure the braves are gonna finnish probably 3rd. One bit piece of the puzzle that is missing is pitching Leo Mazzonee....hes gonna work magic with baltimore and the braves are gonna miss him a whole bunch!

Chris Reitisma! But who knows when he'll fall apart! I think the Braves could have at least 4 championships if they would have spent the money on a dominant closer instead of the bats! just a disgruntled Braves fan

Well, I hope so(I am a Mets fan, but live in Atlanta) but I don't think they are ready with the pitching staff they have now, but to make the playoffs they will have to win their division. The player who I hope will contribute the most is David Wright. But if they win I would let any of them be the main contributor.
