I'd appreciate it if they could continue their losing streak another 2 games. Then they can win the last 9 or so. Go Cardinals!Quote:

While very frustrated, I'm not in panic mode yet. The braves have got to play better at home though... they have gone 4-14 in their last 18 home games. Wow
While I admit, I don't watch many Braves games, I did watch last nights game. I'm not telling you anything that you don't know, but the bullpen has been stinking it up. Way too many walks.Quote:

Cards need the sweep. We finish up with series with the Brewers and Cubs which will be tough to split. Losing 3 out of 4 to the Dodgers really hurt. I will say, the Dodgers are probably playing the best ball in the NL over the past 2 weeks.Quote:

These walks and allowing the opponent to answer are just wild. Gotta figure this will swing the other way soonQuote:

They'd have 4 games at Rockies and 3 vs us. If we win 1 this weekend, they'd most likely have to go 6-1 with 3 of those vs the braves. Not impossible, but doubtful. 2 games this weekend, and it's ova
Really needa jump on em tonite and cruise to victory easily. Worst case scenario is a bullpen walk a thin allowing them to come back late in the game. But anyhow winning tonite is absolutely huge for many a different reason.
Yeah if we come out strong tonight I think we can put the nail in their coffin and break their will. They are hanging on by a thread but they are the walking dead right now. Need to take advantage of that. They will come out spirited tonight, but if we take it to them tonight they will crumble.Quote:

His FB hit 99 too. He's got to be on the playoff roster. Leave Carle off.Quote:

The number is 2.
And the Nats are officially eliminated. Win tomorrow and it's our division.Quote:

I even cheered when they announced snit, joe. Great job, braves
Division Champs baby!
