We can get back into the playoff hunt with a 10 game win streak.

Maybe a 12 gamer.

My condolences guys. Looks like the light is dimming for you all. I was really looking forward to a post season matchup to finally have a chance at burying the ghosts.

I watched the game last night and saw no spark from the team. Looks like they're looking forward to just playing out the string. Loading the bases with nobody out and the heart of the order coming up and scoring one run is inexcusable. Particularly against the pitching poor Phills. Then again, the umps really screwed you all too. I was pissed off for Chipper with those low/outside strike calls.

Better luck next year...

Wow the Braves pulled that one out of their bags of tricks. Man when I saw that they were getting beat I was firing stuff around the room, but they ended coming back and winning. That was a big series win for us and they need to keep playing like this.

I saw the recap on Sportscenter and it was hilarious. It looked like angels in the outfield when the guy is kicking the ball like a hackysack.

Holy Schnikes! can't believe the Braves came back to win it.

Wow, the game I decide not to watch they go and do that. Why can't they just pack it in officially?

Pack it in? They are still fighting for a playoff spot even though it's pretty much decided that they are not going to get to the postseason.

I can't believe they pulled this out. They got a lot of breaks with those bleeders, but they definitly needed some after last weekend. Maybe this will turn the last month around.

This isn't the NBA/NFL. It's not like the more we lose the better chance we have to land a lottery pick to immediately come in and make us better or something.

Just finishing with a .500 or better record will be an improvement over last season. Sure, it will still be disappointing, but an improvement nonetheless. Last night's win was great. I haven't seen such post game enthusiasm in a long time.

I know that, but I want them to stop torturing me. Wins like that give you unnecessary false hope.

Which is what I have right now and for some crazy reason expect this team to win 10 or more straight.
