[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 289723, member: 1640"] As for permanent scaring over this lose, this is my memory of Atlanta's lone championship*. When we beat Cleveland I did not feel elated, I felt relieved. All the jubilation I should have felt was put on ice just worrying that the Braves, once again with the best team, would somehow blow it. It all went back to the first World Series in which we matched the Twins run for run and pitch for pitch, except for that crazy roof in their stadium and Lonnie Smith's fatal running error that ended up costing us the game and the series. Atlanta will perhaps one day win the Super Bowl but if it happens in the near future some of us may feel more relief than gladness over the fact that we finally did not embarrass ourselves. *I hate that people often refer to Atlanta having only one championship when in fact we have two. Atlanta won the first North American Soccer League Championship with player/coach Phil Woosman. Of course, nobody cared about Soccer then but that was a singular achievement in Atlanta sports history. [/QUOTE]
