you'll be ok guy. Im on florida and I'm having one of those days.
Had SD and watched them crumble and have Astros and theyre in the process of blowing a big lead and nice lil underdog cash.
Only winner of the day for me was Oakland.

braves are garbage. they couldnt hit me on most days..

**ebbearsfb1** · 08-09-11, 10:40 PM

not exactly like the marlins have a shut down bullpen

**ebbearsfb1** · 08-09-11, 10:52 PM

See, with Pittsburgh, I could get on board, but Atlanta is a good team.

They are good, but they have flaws...

once mcann is back i think they have the same makeup as last years giants team and could really make a run in the postseason. They arent the best team but with the right breaks i could see them in the world series

Aside from maybe Boston, every team does.

Phillies have a struggling lineup. Ibanez doesn't hit and Howard and Rollins are overrated.

Whatever AL Central team makes the playoffs has some serious issues.

San Francisco has one of the worst lineups in baseball, and that's even with Beltran.

Yankees are starting bums like Phil Hughes and AJ Burnett.

Very true...

But the Strength of this team is Venters and Kimbrel...

If they can't make it to them they are screwed...

Hudson is their best starter and he can fall off at any moment...

at this clown saying the Braves aren't good. Good god there are some ignorant fools in this forum. There best hitter has been out for a couple weeks now in Brian Mccann. And the Braves still have now won 4 in a row. Best bullpen in baseball and now with the addition of Bourn very solid team. Not to mention the fact what is the season series with the Phillies at? Braves have played the Phillies very well this season head to head better then any other team in baseball. Learn the game then post kids if not then shut ur mouths.

there bat is weak but they have a lucky root

**LovetoSpooge** · 08-10-11, 04:59 AM

Lol at comparing braves to the phillies, in the post season phillies are going to have a halladay/lee/hamels/oswalt 4 man rotation and be able to pitch worley out of the pen. Phillies offence will need two runs a game against those bums.
