I have only lived in Atlanta for a couple of years, but I have enjoyed going to Braves games the most out of the major league teams here. I am always surprised by how down a lot of Braves fans are when it comes to the team. They have been really successful for basically my entire life....I would think it would have been a joy to root for them for all of these years.

Also, yeah it's very difficult to judge a baseball team by championships. It's a lot of luck involved and it's funny that they boil such a large amount of games down into such a short playoff.
