After 14 years of winning their division (and yes, that excludes the
strike-shortened 1994 season when the Expos were top of the standings) the
Atlanta Braves haven't come close to playing October ball. This season
figures to be the end of an era for the Tomahawks as Bobby Cox spits out his
chewing tobacco for the final time. Can the the Braves win for Bobby? Will
Jason Heyward mash 75 homers? Can Billy Wagner strike out every hitter he
faces? These questions and more are answered below.
在勇士队14次赢得分区冠军之后(喔是的,除了1994年罢工缩水球季之外,该年结束时
分区第一是博览会队),勇士队就没有接近季后赛过了。而今年被认为是Bobby Cox执教鞭
的最后一年。勇士队能够为了Bobby赢球吗?Jason Heyward可以轰个75发吗?
Billy Wagner可以K掉他面对的每一个打者吗?这些问题将在下头一个一个回答。
译者按:
1.1991-2005这15年间勇士队赢得14次分区冠军,这个纪录和Bobby Cox本身都是个传奇。
2.Tomahawk是印第安战斧,这里应该是指教头Bobby Cox,而为什么要讲"把嘴里嚼的烟草
吐掉"我猜想跟他那大联盟纪录的151次ejection有关系。(有理解错误请指正)
3.有关Tomahawk、Tomahawk Chop(战斧之歌)的由来,有兴趣的人可以看底下这篇文章。

To mix things up a bit I've teamed up with Alex Remington, who writes about
the Braves at Chop-n-Change. Hang on—here we go.
为了整合度更好一点,我跟Alex Remington合作,他在Chop-n-Change网站有写一些关于
勇士队的文章。等一下
