For the rest of the season we'll keep a daily tally of the Atlanta Braves chances of making the post season, along with daily commentary. Also consider this a daily open thread for general chatting.
NL East | W | L | PCT | GB | STRK | Magic Num | Playoff Odds |
Braves | 78 | 57 | .578 | - | L2 | 27 | 94.4% |
Phillies | 77 | 58 | .570 | 1 | W4 | 29 | 78.7% |
Ugh! Two losses in a row at this point sounds like the end of the world -- especially when the Phillies are winning. Hey, both the Phillies and the Braves scored the same number of runs yesterday, we just had the Whole Goat on the mound instead of the Whole Camel.
To talk myself off the cliff I remembered that we lost the first game of the last Marlins series by almost the same score as last night, only to come back and win the next two. With our starting pitching, resiliency is as easy as the next day's starter.
Positive thoughts people!
