Don't know if you heard, but your boy Kenny Rosenthal is picking Atlanta to win it all. You sure you don't want to reconsider?

Rosenthal has the Braves going all the way and Gammons has them losing to the Indians in the Series.

I'm just not sure if Smoltz, Glavine, and Hampton will hold up. You need power pitchers in the playoffs, a la Arizona.
