I'll make a deal with you - I'll give you my two cents worth, only you got to
tell me please pleeease what the hell is wrong with the Braves!!!

I remember reading in some sports publication (probably The Sporting News)
that there are only 2 ballplayers left from the team that last made the
series ... I'm thinking Winfield and Guidry, but please correct me if I'm 
wrong...

Anyway, I don't think you can win a pennant when you present a different
collection of players every year...seems to me that King George is trying
to get instant success while other teams are trying to build on what they
have while making key acquisitions along the way.

Anyway, I wasn't one of those who cried when Kniekro (sp?)(see, I can't even
remember how to spell his name!! :-)  ) left, and I'm glad he's doing good.
But I think the media here in Atlanta are getting a little carried away.
They are bringing and printing stories about him EVERYTIME he pitches, and
it's no secret that they're doing a "rub the Braves management's noses in it"
routine, but the man's GONE!!!

But back to your original question...if George just quits swapping and
buying bodies - coaches included - and give them  TIME to jell as a team,
I think success will return!!!
