Geeze, I missed the first part of the game. I had just assumed that Greg Norton wasn’t still our #1 pinch hitter.

Perhaps this has been pointed out. Perhaps it has not. The Braves are 5 out of the wild card race with 14 games to play. In 2007, on this same calendar date, the Rockies were 4.5 games out, with 13 games to play.
The main difference? The Rockies had 11 head-to-head meetings with 2 of the 3 teams that they were chasing. The Dodgers and the Padres. The 3rd team, you ask? That would have been the NY Mets who on that same date (9-16-07), held a 3.5 game on the Phillies.
So, the Rox were trailing 3 teams. One (the Mets) were in the middle of their own dogfight with the Phillies and they choked. The other two teams ahead of them, had to play 11 games against them, and the Rockies pretty much kicked their asses. Rockies finished 13-1, winning ALL 11 GAMES in their head to head matches with SD and LA. The Dodgers finished 7.5 games behind the Rockies in the WC standings after being 2 games up on them, on September the 16th. The Dodgers finished that year on a 3-10 stretch.
Yikes.
So, mathematically, the Braves are still in it. Realistically, and practically?
Not so much.
THAT being said. All the Braves can do is win. And a win like tonight, is the kind of lucky BS that the Rockies pulled off every night in September of 2007. If they keep winning, anything can happen.

Yo Mitch, you were wrong. Just thought I would let you know……Kelly great point on if Murphy had his glove on his elbow he would have caught it. I lol’d at that one.

Shane-
I’m sure it was all part of Bobby’s plan for Murphy to make two misplays at first and give us the game
Shane

I mean the Braves didnt win tonight.
It was Bobby’s moves that won
Right?
Or you do just blame him when we lose?
Shane
September 17th, 2009

But not many managers would have had Escobar bunt
Thats a HOF move right there

I like how you idiots talk trash and all this bullsh*t about how the braves are gunna lose and when they win, yalls pathetic a$$’s get back onand say “YAY that negative talk made us win”. Get a life, you thought they were gunna lose and they won, so just admit you were wrong, dam. Im tired of all you bandwagon fans who love the team when thier winning, and you trash talk them when they are losin. Thats what atlanta needs, fans to stick with them all year long bad and good. So how about all you bandwagon fans just leave and we will see when they make the post season when they are doing great. Cause no one here wants to hear yalls negativity. And all of yall who are what im talking about will trash me for this. But its true.
