The Braves clinch the division again

This was amazing in 1993 when the Braves won their 3rd division in a row, then in the NL West, and now, it's completely out of the realm of imagination that the Braves have done it 13 straight times, 10 now in the NL East.

And with a completely different kind of club, too. This team is downright scary to watch, but they somehow pull through. The names of Smoltz, Maddux, Glavine, and Avery are now the likes of Wright, Hampton, Ortiz, Thomson, and Byrd. I have no idea what their chances are in the playoffs. I can only hope that the young blood that is on this team meshes with the old, and they can pull through and win a completely improbable World Series.

There are a lot of other teams that are clearly better than them this year, but they've been in that role before and it didn't get them anything. I'm going to have fun watching the baseball playoffs this year, there is no disgrace if the Braves lose it this time.
