Stupid Braves. I see they are once again proudly showcasing a pathetic home crowd to a national television audience.

The A's are a mess.

Do the Braves have any scary good teams on their remaining schedule, the way we have Seattle and SF?

So as far as they are concerned that's a big fat no.

They have 3 games at (a pissed off) Pittsburgh then 4 at Cincinnati, two teams they are battling with for the wild card.

They play the Mets at Citi Field, where they are 3-4 this year.

Also Miami has played them well this year.

Yup...they have a very soft schedule from here on out...

Seattle and San Fran are scary?

Screw the A's. They are responsible for a 6 game swing in the margin between us an Atl. They swept us and Atl swept them. -6 games to the bad side. Go Angels!

Although the Dodgers didn't show it this weekend, I would consider them scary especially is we see Kershaw and Grienke.

By the way, does anybody NOT want the #1 seed in the NL? I think I would rather cruise in at #2 or 3, to get a full series with Milwaukee, rather than possibly facing St; Louis again in the NLDS. There is just something weird about not knowing your opponent until after the WC game to me.

Still think St. Louis finds a way to win the central.

It's way too early to predict oponents

I would think we'd be better off finishing 2nd in the NL...I'd rather face the Dodgers or Brewers than face the Cards, Pirates or Barves in the NLDS.

You're going to have to beat someone good, probably a couple of good teams, if you want to advance in the playoffs. Stop being scared of them.

Im not gonna lie but I would rather play any other potential team in the post season then the Cardinals or Braves. It may be a defeatest but just cant seem to beat them.

Part of me wants redemption which means revenge against the Cardinals. The other part of me is still too afraid of them and would rather coast by Milwaukee and take our chances vs. LA in the NLCS.

GburgNatsFan · « **Reply #1868 on:** August 18, 2014, 10:59:25 am »

There's not a damn thing to be afraid of. We had them in the last series before our rookie implosion. We don't do that anymore. We win games when we're behind. As Werth says in his MASN commercial, this is the year everyone graduates.

I'm more afraid of the Braves but I think they are done for. St. Louis, L.A., San Francisco, and Milwaukee will duke it out for the divisions and take the WC spots as consolation prizes. Atlanta doesn't have what it takes right now to keep up with that.

I don't think anyone is going to coast by the Brewers

Spoken like a spoiled child that didn't get his way. Besides, that's not a 6 game swing.

It is in a way, if the Nats had swept the A's and the A's had swept the Barves, instead of being up by 6 games right now we would be up by 12. We would be 72-50, and Craptlanta would be 61-63.

If the A's had done what they were supposed to do, we would have the division wrapped up by now.

Or if the Nats had done what they were supposed to do head to head against the braves.
