The offenses don't matter when you look at the pitchers.
Johnson, Schilling, Webb
Wells, Mussina, Pettitte, Clemens
Willis, Burnett, Urbina
Then if the A's get to the series...
Zito, Mulder, Hudson, Harden
Or if the Cubs get in...
Prior, Woods...Prior, Woods...Prior, Woods...
Doesn't matter if the line-up is good, because those are 16 of the best pitchers in baseball, and the Braves will face one set of them in the playoffs and will be lucky to take the series to 7.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
