ATLANTA — So the Atlanta Braves are going back to the National League Championship Series one year after tragically losing to the eventual World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Thursday night Braves fans watched those same Dodgers complete a gritty run from the NL Wild Card round to beat the San Francisco Giants for the honor of returning to Atlanta. Rematch set. While Braves skipper Brian Snitker said he was confident in the team's chances, and Atlanta has home-field advantage this go around, it's hard to forget last year's meltdown. Atlanta sports fans in recent years have been unlucky in love with their teams. They've gone from losing epic leads in huge games to losing whole professional franchises. Were it not for the MLS Atlanta United Football Club striking goal (gold?) in just the team's second season in 2018, solidifying a permanent place in Mercedes-Benz Stadium for a rowdy Footie Mob, the City Too Busy To Hate would have enjoyed a championship drought dating back to 1995. The closest No. 1 team (for now) anywhere near Atlanta other than the Braves is roughly 70 miles outside the city limits in Athens. So Atlanta sports fans looking within the city's borders are left wanting. With that painful sports history in mind, Patch is conducting this non-scientific survey to gauge just how much Atlanta fans love their teams: This survey is meant to be an informal collection of Georgians' opinions. It is not a scientific survey and its results should not be used as such. But if it makes you laugh or smile, that's a bonus. Loading… Like this article?
