I can absolutely see the A's--yes, those A's with no bats--out Braving the braves in the world series (eg, killing em with their pitching). The A's starter rotation ERA is right at 3.0, zito with a 3.3, harden with a 1.2, Mulder with a 3, and hudson with a 2.6 or so, (lily is a crapy 4.5 or so). The Braves could crush to the series, then get whooped. By the way, the only team in the AL that owns the A's are the Twins. Yanks don't have a prayer in a 7 game series, and I still struggle to see the braves and they're lack of pitching burn through the giants. Giants have pitching, hitting, depth, and an ability to punish atlanta, I think. A Braves Redsox series would be interesting though, if you hate pitchers duels (I love em, but I pitched).
Good luck though.
