Every year since the heyday of Smoltz/Glavine/Maddux critics have been saying 'Ok, this is the year it ends for the Braves.' And they've been wrong every year. Personally, up until this year, I thought Cox could pull it through. But this year, I truly did think it was impossible. How could anyone, even Cox, coax a division title out of a lineup consisting of a gimpy Chipper, a few above-average players (Andruw, Giles, Furcal), and a buncha stiffs? With a pitching staff consisting of a reconverted closer, Tim Hudson, and a buncha stiffs? But he's done it again, in a division that analysts were saying might be the toughest in baseball. The man is amazing. I shall never doubt him again.

You can't blame him for only getting 1 WS... The Oakland A's had the best front 3 starting pitchers for a handful of years, and they never even got to the world series, much less won it.
