It's October baseball!!! But not the kind we were hoping for. This may be the last game we can "believe" in this year. I'd like to see Tommy Hanson finish strong.

I'm curious to see if this will be another piggy-back minor league style start for Tim Hudson and Kenshin Kawakami, with Huddy going the first half of the game, and then Kenshin relieving him for the rest of the game. That worked out well last time.

Crucial is too weak of a word to use for the next 7 games. It begins tonight.

Today is the last road game of the year, let's see if we can end on a winning note. I am very aware that we are a mere 2.5 games out of the wild card... so close you can taste it. Hopefully Derek Lowe can get the Braves a little closer.

The Braves begin possibly the most important stretch of games of the season... against the worst team in baseball. Interesting that our most important games in these last few days are against such a non-contender... but for some reason that scares the living sh*t out of 98% of Braves fans.

Remember to vote in the Fan Confidence Poll (it was buried by several other posts after being posted this morning).
