All teams in the playoffs are good teams. But I'll say this about Atlanta. They did NOT sell out game 2 of that series. They did not even come CLOSE to selling out game 1. Pittsburgh is not only selling out the games, they've got crowds cherring outside the ballpark, & even on the bridge behind the ballpark.
I am in the VERY unaccustomed position for rooting for the Dodgers over the Braves. Any town that won't sell out playoff games does not IMO deserve to advance (although they might anyway). I am 100% rooting for the Pirates because of their fans. St. Louis is admittedly one of the best baseball cities in the league but I would even root for the Braves over the Cardinals. I would root for Satan and his legions over the Cardinals.
