So you think we lose our next 5 games and the Braves take the next two against SF? Because that's what it'll take.

At the time of my post, we were 3 1/2 games ahead of the Braves.  I thought we were 2 1/2.
If the Mets had taken the series (and, it turns out, we were somewhat lucky to win the first two) and the Braves take three out of four from us this weekend, Atlanta would be in first - not us.
Even so, our lead could have easily dropped to just a half-game.
