I have to agree, they can only take it so far, and then they poop out. What so you think the cure could be for the Braves?

"What so you think the cure could be for the Braves?"

Um...maybe I should move back there? Huh? Our Devil Rays ....well, let's not talk about them...I have to keep logging on and off, because Michael was saying he was sick to his stomach this morning (even though he ate two bowls of Corn Flakes) and I sent him to school because he wasn't acting sick...we'll have to see. How's Cammy?

One of the theories about the Braves' various collapses over the years involves the Cox Theory. This hypothesizes that Bobby Cox demands the same intensity from his players, and manages each one of the 162 regular season games like it were Game 7 of the World Series. This results in a team that wins the division year-in and year-out, but also leads to a team with no new wrinkles come post-season, and burned out players with no juice left.

The same applies in the other professional leagues as well. As Miss Marple can now attest, Jim Mora, the Colts' head coach, has never won a playoff game in the NFL. He broke our hearts four times in New Orleans. The reason? He coaches each game with the same intensity, leaving nothing left in the gas tank for the playoffs, when teams generally put their game into a different gear from regular season games.
