Despite reports to the contrary, Braves' Manager Bobby Cox plans to return to the team next season, according to Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

"Nothing will change my mind about returning ?- not winning, not losing," Cox said Wednesday. "It?s still fun for me. Being here is fun."

The Braves were 64-82 through Wednesday's action, good for fourth-place in the NL East ahead of only the Nationals (56-90).

By won-lost percentage, this is the worst full season any Cox-managed team has endured since the 1979 Braves.
