Who do Braves want to face? If season ended today, Braves would play the winner of Pit/Cincy. What's post season chances going to be like? You guys going to go far?

For STL, if Allen Craig can come back healthy, I like our chances to go deeper into October. Hard to say what starting pitching will be like with 3 rookies in the rotation.

If the Braves play anything like they have been recently, it wouldn't matter if they faced the Bad News Bears. They'll get shellacked. Until last night, I was honestly wondering if they would hold on to the division lead. The lead had gone from 16 to 8 in just over a week and the Nats just couldn't lose. Lose last night and it would have been a 7 game lead with what..11 to play? Sad, but they've been just that bad.

And the Rangers choke completely and thoroughly. Hamilton has a .245 RBI.

Huh?

I gave up on the Suckasstros and started following the Rangers, who then promptly lost the wild card lead.

The Baseball Karma Gods enjoy my pain.

So what's Hamilton got to do with it - He get traded back?

You're gonna give WE a stroke.

OAKLAND -- Like the Angels, Josh Hamilton has been in season-salvaging mode for the last month or so.

The designated hitter gave his team some reason for hope Wednesday when he hit a tying, two-run home run against closer Grant Balfour in the ninth inning and a go-ahead sacrifice fly to left field against nemesis Jerry Blevins in the 11th to lead the Angels to a 5-4 victory over the Oakland A's.

The first four months of 2013 were a nightmare for Hamilton, who on Aug. 7 was hitting .217 with a .271 on-base percentage, .397 slugging percentage, 16 home runs, 51 runs batted in.

But in 36 games since, Hamilton has a .328/.399/.526 slash line with five home runs and 21 RBIs to raise his average to .245. The Angels have won 19 of 26 games.

With no pressure on and prolly getting his drink on again, he's a freaking stud.

It played out this way every year he was here in Texas.

The problem, I think, is his short arms. They are a hindrance.

Well, no postseason for you, but I hope you finish better than the NYY.

And dammit. Another season of almost for the Atlanta Braves. Failing to hold home field is the end of their chances.

If they get past the Dodgers, which is doubtful, they won't get past the freaking stinking Turdinals.

Third best record in baseball? I wouldn't want to face Kershaw twice in a 5 game series, though, but Atlanta is very dangerous.
