Take this from someone who knows players on this team and knows their character and WANT this year. This ISN'T the beginning of the end, or anything like that. This team is solid and will be there at the end.
It's baseball and things happen. Col is a beast at home, almost as good as the Braves are at home. Oh yeah, the Braves are coming home and have more home games left then any other team. Don't forget, Philly is about to go out west to play SD, LA, and a game against Colorado.
They WILL rebound, and WILL play good ball 99 percent of the rest of the way. Relax and enjoy your evening, this team isn't going to choke.

As in the Philly's offense. The Braves won't get swept again this year. You can bank on that. Just like I can bank on you running away as soon as the Braves win on Friday.

I can agree with this....hope you are right! I just wish we were a bit better on the road. This loss today just sucks though. And seems to have brought out some doomsday scenarios;-))
Even IF the Phillies win tonite, which is NOT guaranteed, we're still leading the division by 1 1/2 games.

No matter what happens, it's going to come down to the last 2 series vs the phils, imo...

Thanks for the encouragement.

And when it has counted, against our biggest rivals, we have been pretty dang good!

Philly ain't been too bad in pennant races the last couple years though...

All the more evidence this will come down to the last weekend.
The Braves finished off pretty strong down the stretch last year and made believers out of the biggest doubter towards the end there. It was nearly a 2007 Colorado Rockies-esque comeback.

LOL. Didn't you guarantee that Philly would lead the East about 3 weeks ago now. Well they haven't sniffed the lead and just got swept at home by the worst team in the NL. Now get lost. You have no credibility here. You are just a blow hard.

agreed. Especially if both teams keep mirroring each other game for game. Something's gotta give...
