I've seen a lot of things said about strike zones and poor officiating...most 
of it by the fans of the losers from The Ted.   Face it folks, you groused 
about the Rockies beating the Braves in the mile-high altitude of Denver, and 
REALLY complained about the 3-game sweep AT HOME that the Braves suffered at 
the hands of the Rockies..never stopping to think that the vaunted pitching 
staff might NOT be the end-all you'd hoped.   Nor are your/their pitchers the 
ONLY good ones around......heck, the Cy Young might even go to a different 
ball team altogether - imagine that.
As much as it galls me that the expansion rivals of the Rockies took THIS
"first" away from *MY* favorite team <(The Rockies REALLY deserved better, 
oo
bad they didn't get the breaks from their bull-pen and the mid-summer 
sputtering of the best overall offense in baseball)>, it is MUCH easier to 
take than seeing the smug look one would've seen on the face of Ted and Bobby
if the Braves had won the NLCS.   Just goes to show, Ted's not the ONLY one 
who's willing to BUY a pennant...
