Okay, so I must have died and woke up in bizzarro world because as much as this is fact it is still hard to believe.

The Mets are having a great season. Florida got hot recently and the Braves have lost the last 17 out of 21 games including 8 straight. It doesn’t get any easier in the schedule either. After the Blue Jays series it goes: @Tampa, @Yankees, then home vs Baltimore, St Louis, and then Cincinnati. This will mark the All Star break. The Braves need to win 60 percent of these games. It doesn’t look good. But I live in Michigan so according to Darren, I am supposed to root, live, and die by the results from the home team. At least in this case, this year, that’s the Tigers who are actually playing pretty good. Like I still say, It’s early yet.

Its early still, but you have to admit the Mets have a large lead in East and it doesn’t look like they are going to give it up. I think Philadelphia is going to be in trouble in the second half of the season, and I think injuries will be the big problem. What’s going wrong with atlanta? Is it just young players, injuries, or something else?
That’s how it is when you go 2-16 in June…I finally woke up again and the Braves SUCK. All is right in the world again. Brian, you can start rooting for the Yankkes again, they’re going nowhere either….
the braves have been rattled by a lot of injuries.. I dont think one player besides Francouer has played every game, including the starting pitchers… bullpen has been shit. etc etc…
but it doesn’t matter.
I’m all about watching good baseball.
My fantasy teams are all winning and besides the Braves, thats all that matters to me.. so regardless, I’m gonna be ontop of baseball for the rest of the season no matter what shakes out in the NL East..
I know the Braves can not struggle all season for this long.. They will get hot in July and August.
IF they get hot, it won’t mean anything…they’ll be so far gone….
well its all relative at this point..
Hot = getting back to .500
not toppling this 15 game stuff
