Braves are 50-20 (.715 win %) since June 1st…as amazing as that is, not the best stretch I’ve seen a Braves team have. I’ll never forget the 58-19 finish after acquiring Fred McGriff in 1993. What a run that was…

That team was so good. I still have a column from Mark Bradley of the AJC, when the Braves were still like 9.5 back from the Giants, talking about how dogged they were in pursuit of the division lead.

Other than 91, that season remains as the most bitter end for me.

Edit: Found it.

Shutout again. On the verge of an epic collapse. I miss the Boss. This **** wouldn't go down so smooth.

Nobody has had this many moves blow up in their face as much as Preller. To think at one point they were neck-and-neck with the likes of the Dodgers and Mets and again they look like dog****. Preller has proven he cannot build a functional ball club. Time to move on.

The Cardinals are playing well right now. To think the non marquee acquisitions of Quintana and Montgomery would be the stabilization this staff needed. Those two along with wainwright and mikolas give us a confident feeling that you’ll get a solid 5/6 inning start each time they take the ball. And still waiting on Flaherty to return.
