    Re: 2009 Atlanta Braves

    My goal is to be no more than two games out of the Wild Card by September 1st.

      I like Esky and I really hope Wren doesn't trade him - he's one of the best players we have in that hits w/RISP. However, we do need another bat...From what I counted up so far this year, we are 36-11 when scoring 4+ runs.

      It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

        earlier in the year, maybe 2-4 weeks ago, it was I think 5 or 6 wins scoring <=3.

          Make that 37-11 when scoring 4+.

          Also, Hanson was pitching a gem and I'm glad the offense picked him after McLouth's lapse. I'm sorry for Rasmus fans but Hanson is the ROTY.

            We're actually scoring runs and playing good baseball now. It's a shame that the Phillies are unbeatable all of a sudden. With the way they're playing, every game feels like a must win now which is crazy considering how many games are left in the season. A few weeks ago I thought that the division was our only chance to make the playoffs. Now it looks like the wildcard might be instead.

              Lets keep this offensive train rolling. Everyone is hitting right now, its become contagious.

                Forget the division, it's Wild Card or bust.

                  While that should be our goal, we still play the Phils 9 times. We basically control our own destiny.

                    Braves defense is looking sharp tonight.

                      The Braves have passed half the teams in front of them to move into a tie for 3rd for the wild card.

                        I'm beginning to think that Charlie Manuel has made some sort of pact with the devil or something......LOL. Those guys can't lose and it's becoming increasingly frustrating to never gain any ground in the division. At least we've made a huge push in the wildcard race.

                          Anyone think we have a chance against Lincecum tonight?

                            I think we do have a chance because our offense is clicking on all cylinders right now. Then again, if he's on his game we could go out there and only muster 2 or 3 hits. The Braves offense has been inconsistent most of the season so who knows? We've been playing well lately though so hopefully we can jump on him early and give JJ some run support.

                              I want to think so but if history is any indication we are in for another tough loss. There's no denying the guy has our number. In 5 career starts against the Braves he is 5-0 with a 2.08 ERA.

                                We've got JJ on the hill and he's been awesome this year. Should be fun to watch...

                                Also (maybe it's just me) but I loved the CF camera they used on Monday nite...why'd they change it back?
