Atlanta has a losers mentality. Maybe its bc the city has 1 Championship in the last 40 years. Maybe its the fact the Braves won the division 15 years in a row to fall flat on their face in the playoffs all but 1 year. Maybe its the fact the Falcons didnt have back to back winnings seasons in their HISTORY until last year! Maybe its bc the Atlanta Hawks are content with going to the second round of the playoffs and then getting their ass wooped. Maybe its bc we decided to pay Joe "The No Show" Johnson more than Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and LeBron James.
Im listening to 790 The Zone the other day and I hear something that basically summarizes the ALM (Atlanta Losers Mentality) perfectly. "The Braves losing really isnt that big if a deal bc the Phillies lost." Are you kidding me? We are trying to EXTEND the lead!! This is the kind of crap that drives me crazy.
Im going to say it. Bobby Cox is the MOST overrated manager of all time. The guy was handed 3 HOF pitchers in their prime, basically an open checkbook with Ted Turner and we win 1 world championship?!?!?! You might say "Its not his fault the players don't show up for the playoffs!" Thats fine, but don't call him the greatest manager in the world for doing well IN THE REGULAR SEASON! You cant have it both ways. You cant give him credit for the regular season stuff and then give him a pass in the playoffs. If Joe Torre can be fired from the YANKEES after winning 4 championships in 10 years then ANYONE can be fired. But not Bobby Cox. He can sit on the bench and look pissed off, waddle out every once in a while to argue a call to "protect" his players. God forbid the Braves ever steal a base and manufacture a run. BC is still sitting around waiting for the 3 run homer. BC has proven that he cant manage a BP. He is WAYYYYY to loyal (Reitsma, Farnsworth now, The Anti Virus Greg Norton). How many times has he come out of dugout to make the AT&T call to the BP and the doors swing open an boom here comes Chris Reitsma and everyone thinks to themselves "Game Over." Then after the game he will rave about how good Reitsma's "Stuff" is. "The Best stuff in the BP, Mac says so." Shut your mouth your an idiot.
And what the hell is with this BMAC sitting out every third game? Did Chippers vagisil rub off on Mac's leg? Last time I checked McCann is arguably our best hitter and he doesn't need every 3rd day off. Hell, Yadier Molina played something like 16 straight games for the Cardinals. But don't worry were not in a pennant race or anything. Suck it up and let him play BC.
I am defeated with being a Braves fan. The goal is to win the World Series and that's it. Winning the division is good and all but your still a loser. None of this "we tried our best."
Your best? Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and tink the Prom Queen!

BMac as you call him, is a joke- Dude needs to put down the Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, quit ordering pizza- and go for a run.. I mean overrated doesn't even describe this dude. He runs into a fast ball when the catcher tells him whats coming, but hell even Ankiel& and Captain CaveMan do that every once and a while- Trade him to the AL and bring up some youngern who can throw, and run for that matter. Peace Out Fatty..
I have said for a while now they should move him to first base and let David Ross do the catching. trade freeman (since he is so damn good apparentally) and get us another power hitting OF. That way McCann can play more. I will say hes been hitting the taco bell drive thru on the way home a little to much.
