Re: Pitching still Braves' trademark

I hate to sound negative Boogaman, but it is over for the Braves! To me, there's no way to replace Sheffield, Lopez, Castilla, & some of the other players they have ridded of in the past couple of seasons. That has worked for them in past seasons during their success, but I believe it will finally come back to bite them in the ass this season. Sooner or lator their bubble will burst & they'll fall flat on their face! I hope I'm wrong! I have become tired of the Braves getting rid of players over the years that I loved playing for the Braves. Players like, McGriff, Sheffield, Klesko, Lofton, Grissom, Justice, Gant, Lemke, Dye, & I know I'm leaving out a few others. I know that's business & part of baseball & it's salary structure, but I have become disenchanted with it. I guarantee you Sherholtz will find away to get rid of Furcal, Andruw Jones, & Chipper Jones over the next season or two & no matter whether it is business or not, I'll become even more disgusted.
