*Atlanta Braves Team Report*
----------------------------

The Braves took two of three games from the Cubs over the
weekend in their final tune-up for the postseason.  While
winning the set over Chicago, Atlanta saw Houston win the wild
card, setting up the fourth postseason meeting between the
Braves and Astros in eight years.  Atlanta has won each of the
previous three. ... The Division Series with Houston will begin
Wednesday with Roger Clemens facing Jaret Wright. ... Wright
left his last start after just 2 1/3 innings following a line
drive off his ankle, but is deemed fine for the series-opener.
... With a 6-3 win over the Mets on Wednesday, manager Bobby Cox
became the ninth manager in major league history with 2,000
career victories. ... Chipper Jones finished with 96 RBI,
leaving him four shy of becoming the second player in NL history
to drive in 100 runs in nine straight years.
