Braves fan here... pretty sad to see them exit again, but the sad part is I've gotten used to it now after many years in a row of them doing the same thing... so I was pretty stoic last night...
I must say I'm not too surprised to see the Cubs win though... When you have Wood and Prior pitching, and in a short series, just makes them extremely dangerous. Great pitching will always beat great batting.
It'll be another weird offseason... familiar faces going away (Sheffield, Lopez, and Maddux all free agents... I think tops the Braves keep 2 of them, more likely only 1), and who knows who else will show up. People keep saying that next year will be the year that the streak will end and someone else will win the division, but it still doesn't happen. I think it'd be best for the Braves to make it into the postseason involved in a pennant/wild-card race... that way they're playing with desperation every game instead of coasting into the postseason like they usually do.
