| Well seeing how a lot of the Braves old school players are out of the league..I'll just say this:
I really lie the lineup they have now as compared to the old teams. Man, I fuckin hated Lemke and Blauser up the middle. Automatic outs they were.
The new up the middle tandum of Giles and Furcal is much better. The outfield is better. Chipper at 3rd is better.
Of course the closer is better...Kolb over Wohlers bitch ass anyday. And don't forget all the games Leibrandt and Rearden blew over the years in the playoffs.
However, when it comes right down to it....There starting pitching was so much better it's not even funny. Whether it be Glavine, Smoltz, and Avery or throw Maddux in the mix.
The '91-'99 Braves would beat the shit out of the new team with their starting pitching, and I believe the old team had more heart as well. They did win a series and had a never die attitude about them. The new team is a bunch of quitters I hate to say. |
