Your team is playing great ball. You have the 2nd best record in the National League, and the 4th best record in all of baseball. You'd be leading in 4 of the 6 divisions. Yet, you're trailing my streaking Phillies by 7 full games, and fading fast. Must suck to be a Braves fan with nothing but a Wild Card to look forward to. Oh, did I mention that the Phils usually play their best ball in September?

Yes, I know I'm an SOB, but I couldn't resist. :-"

This would have been a concern before the Wild Card was instituted. Now it's pretty much a non factor. If they continue to play at the level they are playing at, they will make the playoffs. Then it's anyone's game. And if they get healthy, look out. They can pitch as well as anyone, even the vaunted Phillie's rotation.

Phillies will go down. Making the playoffs is the only important consequence of the regular season. Once in the playoffs its all bout winning the WS.

And as a long time Atlanta Braves fan you're gonna hafta do better than this to break my heart.

Karma is a mofo. Now that you've talked all that shyte, your team will experience a catastrophic injury... or will lose to the Braves in the playoffs.

Don't believe in Karma. You'd have to be pretty egotistic to think that so called Karma would effect the lives of 2 entire ball teams, management, fans, etc., just to get back at you for a post on a cigar board.

Oh, and the lead is now 8 games, with the Phils 31 games over .500, and the first team to 70 wins.

2.5 games ahead of Boston and 3.5 games ahead of the Stankies, and they still aren’t playing anywhere near their potential.

And the Braves ARE a great franchise that has done things the RIGHT way. For better or worse.

I found it enjoyable to resurrect and re-read this post from a couple months ago.

That annoying Tomahawk Chop has been silenced till at least Opening day 2012, by who else, but my beloved Phillies. In fact Philly won their last 8 meetings.

Many Philly fans where actually rooting for The Braves to pull this last game out, so that they and St. Louis could burn up even more pitchers today in a showdown, but it was not meant to be.

Next up, some red and black birdies.

As a Braves fan I think the two hands grasping the throat while bowing at the waist to the same beat as the chop would have been more appropriate.

My mother, 87 year old typical south Georgia great grandma, is a huge, huge Braves fan, and even when my dad was alive he'd be the one to go to bed early when they were playing on the west coast, and she'd stay up and finish the game.. Anyway, she got a burr in her butt about Chipper the first year or two he was there, felt like he wasn't trying hard enough, not running out infield balls, not playing hurt........... This sweet old lady who you never hear say anything bad about anyone going, "Aww boo hoo hoo, look Chipper stubbed his toe, boo hoo hoo." Just cracks me up.
