The Official Braves Thread Of Volnation

[Freak]

Braves only 7.5 games back in the wild card.

If the bats stay hot, (like they are now), Sosa closes games, and the starters last longer than the 4 theyve been lasting, well be in business. :dance:

13.5 Back in the East.
2.0 Out of Second (Philadelphia)
1.0 out of Third. (Florida)

These last games are critical for Atlanta heading into the break. They could be in second place, barely 10 games out, and less than 5 back in the Wild Card.......or they could be WAY back.

Heres our time to make up ground in the Wild Card, plus the Mets have been mediocre lately

The Braves may be turning the corner.I think someone on the Reds was arrested (that should help a little). :biggrin2: http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/art...060016/1071/SPT
Yes.here it is.

 

[tidwell]

That actually probably helps the Reds if one of their relievers just doesn't show up.

 

[smokeyman15]

Is their bullpen as bad as ours?

 

[tidwell]

I get the impression it isn't very pretty.

 

[Freak]

True. In other words, these games could be decided late.

 

[smokeyman15]

[volfan2024]

Hudson isn't doing half bad tonight.

[Freak]

Chipper has been on fire as of late. Nice game winner by JF. :rock:

 

[GAVol]

Franceour is quiety putting up some pretty good numbers. He's on pace for 30 HRs and 110 RBI. And that's with him swinging at everything.
