Braves Fan Confidence Remains Strong to end the Season

by gondeee on Oct 5, 2009 8:26 AM EDT

Despite a 6-game losing streak to finish out the regular season, the turnaround the Braves performed in the weeks prior to that seems to have kept the Atlanta Braves Fan Confidence high to end the season. The late-season high-point came a week ago with hopes that the Braves easy schedule in the final week and hot play of late could translate into a possible run at the Wild Card. Those hopes were obviously dashed by a lack of offensive output in the final week, but the general feeling among Braves fans seems to be that the team showed enough in the final month to provide hope for next year.

I think this guy is pissed

I don’t blame him,if you think about it we would be in 1st place if we had been managed right. I can think of 10 games just off the top of my head that would have been wins if they had been handled right, instead of putting in Norton or keeping Lowe,Hudson,Kawakami,or half the bullpen too long. Or playing losers too long,Francouer,Schafer,preJuly Johnson and using that puke Pendleton ALL year.

Senator, we have another old saying,"Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining." Fletcher

And what if the players had just come through when they had the chance?

We might have just been given the pennant.

Remember when the Panthers had a good offensive line? Yeah, me too.

Bobby Cox has been a good manager when he hasn’t had to think too hard about strategic moves. The last few years he hasn’t been able to put the team on autopilot and get the kind of production he needs out of them, and he is certainly guilty of using his April lineup card in September. I’m glad that next year will be his last in the dugout, and pray that Frank Wren makes the right moves in the offseason. My confidence is holding at 6 while I wait to see what the organization does.
