|  The Braves Are In Trouble After the last 2 games, I'd be worried if I were a Braves fan. You cannot feel good about your bullpen if you are. It took some unbelievable luck for the Braves to take today's game. Hell, they had 4 incredibly lucky plays in the 5th alone -- Teixiera's diving stop of Castillo's ball, Johnson's play on Wright's for the 2nd out, Teixiera (again!) on a ball nearly thrown away by Escobar after Alou's hit and Green not pulling a Mookie. Then there was the fact that it took a miracle, Endy-style catch in the 9th to keep the Mets from tying the game. Hit my head and call me Padrino, but I feel better about the Mets than I have in weeks. The Braves are in trouble.

And when it comes down to October all that matters is that they were in first, not how they played.. Take a look at last years Cards for prime example

I think what gets people is the omnipresent sense that something is missing. maybe they're not winning quite enough, or doing all of the little things, or that they haven't really gone on a hot streak this year (what's their biggest winning streak? four? and that was the first four games of the season?). or all of it. | |

 | I wonder what it would be like around here if the Mets had been forced to pull a play out of their arses like the one Harris made just to avoid blowing a five run lead in the ninth? I bet luck and doom would be one of many four letter words tossed around... And beating the Fish is almost as critical as this game was. When your two closest rivals are separated by a half game you have to take advantage when they play each other. Win and you at least put more distance between you and one of them... |

Seeing how this season has gone, something tells me that by Wednesday of next week the Braves and Phillies will be about 4.5 to 5.5 games back each. | |
