  1. Not to pick a fight, but that isn't the case in most soccer leagues outside the US. Leagues of 18 or 20 teams, no playoffs, each team plays all others home and away and at the end of the year, the team with the most points is the champ. There is still some luck involved in that format but much less than in US sports--and certainly not "a ton". It's the fairest of systems IMO.
  2. Fair enough. Thought I'd keep my wording simple, but obviously my question is more along the lines of "What do you think our chances are to win the WS?" Bookmakers have us at about 10-1 right now. Fair or not? Why? I personally wouldn't put any money on us at less than 20-1. Not just the Braves; I don't think we match up very well with major AL contenders, especially on starting pitching. Wondering if others can make the case for lower odds on us.
  3. It was a pipe dream in March, but now we're exactly three quarters into the regular season and we're 75-47, 2 games up on the Rays and 8.5 up on Toronto--pretty much guaranteed to make the playoffs barring a monumental collapse. So now seems a good time to ask the question: Can we win the World Series? In your best objective assessment of the team, do you think we can go all the way? If so, why? If not, why not?
  4. From my perspective, still till not as bad as the McKenna drop loss vs. the RedSox in the second game of the season.
  5. For those who want to watch the game tonight without starting a pay subscription to Apple TV, Best Buy is offering 3 months of AppleTV for free. You'll need to enter credit card info but will not be charged. Don't forget to cancel before the end of the 3-month trial period. Regular price after that is $6.99 a month. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/apple-free-apple-tv-for-3-months-new-or-returning-subscribers-only/6484512.p?skuId=6484512
  6. Not only are we (still) in first place in the AL East, we also have the best record in the entire AL, second best in the majors behind the Cubs. Here's to going back to our winning ways tomorrow. Go O's! Sent from my LG-D415 using Tapatalk
