Title: Will the Braves blow their Wild Card playoff chances
Post by: Jamos on September 18, 2011, 10:21:23 PM
The Braves lost today and the Cards won so the Cards only trail the Braves by 2 1/2 games with 9 games left to play for tthe Braves, the Cards have 10 games left.

It's 3 1/2 games, Jamos.  I think you guys will be ok.  I was just glad my Dodgers got back to .500 for the first time in forever today.  Beat the lowly Pirates 15-1.

Braves lose again on a 2 out, 2 strike, 2 run home run and the Marlins win 6-5. Cards beat Philly 4-3.

Now they have a 2 1/2 lead with 8 games to go, sorry about yesterdays report.  :D

I confess that I'm not a very good Braves fan once football season starts.  2 1/2 games, eh?  That's enough. 

I'll check back after the Florida game.

I thought they were a shoo-in for the playoffs but now I'm not so sure. The offense just isn't taking care of business. The pitching has to be getting tired after having carried the team all year.

I am afraid this is going to be another regular season for the Braves. They always seem to falter at the end of the season. They almost lost the last year. They just don't have the manager and the players don't have the want to like they use to. RTR!

I think they have series against Nats in DC and then home to Philly to wind up season. Those last three against Philly could be a postseason killer.

The Cards have the Cubs at home for three and then they go to houston for three. I'm betting the Cubs would like nothing more than to knock the Cards out of the race.

I agree, if he'll mature some more mentally to go with that flame throwing arm, he'll make a lot of money in the near future. He's struggled a little lately but I think that is his youth.

I don't Lowe could pitch a good game against a t-ball team right now.  He's pitching worse than any Braves starter I can remember in recent years.

I had the mlb.com gamecast on in my second class this morning so I could follow the Astros/Cards game.  Normally it's soundless, but I didn't know that it would occasionally automatically play video highlights.  I was talking to a student when suddenly a voice came through the classroom sound system announcing that the Astros had won.  The students were a little confused, I was excited but couldn't show it.

Greatest quotes from new Florida Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen!

If I ever have to go to Chicago again I will Fu@king puke!

Ozzie Guillen, the former Chicago White Sox manager who will be introduced this week as the new Marlins manager, is apt to say almost anything. Here is an OzFest of his greatest hits.

On himself (Part I): "I'm not a quitter. When I want to quit, I'll do a lot of stupid things and make sure they fire me and get paid."

On himself (Part II): "I'm the Charlie Sheen of baseball without the drugs and a prostitute."

On Wrigley Field (Part I): "You are going to take batting practice and the rats are bigger than pigs out there. You want to take a look? I think the rats are lifting weights."

On Wrigley Field (Part II): "I puke every time I go there."

On his wife, Ibis: "What attracted me to my wife is she's hot. She's also nice, she's a great mom - but that comes after she's hot."

On a headline about the Twins visiting Chicago: "Even my wife told me Minnesota is coming to town. I said, 'Good, you dating somebody from there?' Who cares?"

On former White Sox reliever Scott Linebrink, who once told Guillen he was too ill to pitch: "I believe him because he's a real religious guy. Someone else tells me they have a migraine, I know they are hung over."

Bad news for the Bravos - the Phillies are about finished with their pounding (7-1 in bottom of the 9th), and the Cardinals scored 5 runs in the 4th to tie their game 5-5.

I've never seen so many teams collapse at the end.  Of all the teams in a playoff chase, the Red Sox are the only ones winning their game tonight.

In my game of interest tonight, Matt Kemp just missed his 39th homer (instead it was a double to deep center).  Hope the young fella makes it to 40/40.  Unfortunately for him they're only going to play 161 games.

ALL of the Houston Astros are scrubs. THey have lost 104 games this year, the most in the majors. Once again, the Braves couldn't beat the Nationals, which may end up costing them a chance to make the playoffs. Amazing.

Cards 8  Astros 6  7th inn.
