Imagine if the Braves didn't refuse to lose.

They just want it more.

What a nightmare of a season

They take it one day at a time and put one foot in front of another.

Someone please post quotes from the braves forum. They have to be going SF'esque by now (we get that daily no matter what ).

On this date last year, the Braves had just won their 10th game in a row and we were 12.5 games behind them.

Why ? Who needs to know there are Sportsfan clones yelling at Braves' players ?

What if SF does this on every team's message board? /showerthoughts

That sounds exactly like some of the posters here. Angry at baserunning and inability to score, pack it up, trade everyone and start over, blame the umpires.

That's what boards are for...a place to vent. Hell, nobody IRL would want to listen to all that kvetching.

Thing is, for the most part, our baserunning has been good outside of a few select games. From what it looks like the Braves are mediocre-bad at everything that isn't Julio Teheran and Craig Kimbrel. Very realistic chance the Marlins take over second place soon.

Which amounts to the same thing. Everybody needs to vent somewhere, right? In my ordinary life, I don't get mad, and I keep all that stuff to myself; I'm pretty docile and non-confrontational. It's a problem. But on here, 99% of the time I'm myself, and then 1% of the time BH34Natural says something so anus-clenchingly stupid that I get to blow my stack. And I'm secretly glad there are people like BH34Natural around, because the venting is such an essential part of life.

If anyone want's to drop in over there and remind them that they have the longest active losing streak in MLB, that's fine with me. I'm Persona Non Grata over there after last season. My home IP is banned so I have to surf it from my phone or work computer LOL.

Atlanta's looking bad. We better damn well take advantage of their misfortune!

Wow thanks for posting that, we were essentially done last year at this point and this year we're in 1st place and have mucho still to look forward to

After 2 @ Seattle the Braves have 9 in a row at home against Nats, Dodgers and A's.

If we win our series against them... they could be out of contention by the end of their homestand.
Here's to that.

If you had told me last week the Pads were going to sweep them, I would not have believed it. Just think how great a shape we would have been in if we did not let Soriano's 5 year old son and his little league team play our first two Phillies games for us.

Look, if you're going to go SSS, you have to go all in

WHEN the Nats SWEEP their series in Atlanta, they WILL be out of contention by the end of their homestand.
