I guess Cleveland is throwing in the towel

You are insane if you believe that.

Besides Maddux (who is having a shit year) and Glavine they have to rely on inconsistent pitching while the Expos have an even stronger rotation. Braves have a better bullpen so call it even.

I don't see much discrepency between the 2 teams besides the outfield. Yet Montreal's infield is a better hitting and fielding team compared to Atlanta. Wilkerson is a great young rookie and O'Leary is tearing it up and Guerrero is both Jones' combined. They'll make a run for it and if they start winning on the road LOOK OUT!
