1ST PLACE ATLANTA TEAMS

[Gray Mule]

The Atlanta Braves, despite their recent funk against teams from the

west coast, won the final two out of three from the champion Giants

and have a lead of 6.5 games in their division.

Pitching has been consistant with the Braves. Gattis was a run away

to be rookie of the year until the Dodgers brought up their new right

fielder. He only hits with power with home runs coming almost every

game. He has blazing speed and recently had a batting average of .500.

Add to that the cannon arm and we have to wonder, is this guy human?

Atlanta has a women's team in the WNBA. Some Hawk fans have a built

in hate of the WNBA. They state their feelings by such statements as,

"Watching paint dry or grass grow is more exciting than watching the

women of the WNBA."

Nevertheless, what few of us poor males that are not so macho that we

can't abide watching, find that, even though these gals don't play above

the rim and defy gravity as they slam the ball thru, find that they play with

a speed and intensity that would put most men's teams to shame. Quickness

is everywhere you look. The Atlanta Dream and their 6-1 record means

they are all alone, in first place in the east.

So. Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta Hawks, the pattern has been set for you.

GO ATLANTA!

For one of the most miserable sports cities in the country we sure have good teams. NFC championship game, top 4 in the nba east, division leaders in mlb, best team in the wnba, hey even the silverbacks are doing well. Too bad no hockey.
