Are you talking about very recent, due to Heyward going back into strikeout mode?
Also, Nate has looked better lately (but not yesterday). Melky has definitely been hitting best in this Mets series, though… :(

A good series of games can potentially put the Braves back in second place (or even first) in a week. Yes, the team sucks right now, but moaning like “Oh we’re in last place we’ll never get out of this hole we’re doomed!!!11” doesn’t help anything. Everyone is still within three games of each other, so as long as the Braves are within striking distance, there really shouldn’t be any complaining.

Well...
As bad as I feel, looking at my fantasy squad I saw this line from my 1B so far this season:
.117 AVG. .524 OPS, 2 HR, 7 RBI, 7 Hits in 60 AB’s
That’s Mark Texeira. I as well as everybody is sure about one thing, and that’s that Tex will turn it around. But still, I’m going to keep “hoping” that this dude:
.167 AVG. 515 OPS, 2 HR, 9 RBI, 9 Hits in 54 AB’S
Turns it around too. Not at Tex level, but at least to a “decent” level. And that’s Mr. Troy Glaus.
