Are other Braves fans as hopeless as I am?
2.5 games out has never looked so far...are other Braves fans feeling as hopeless as I am? I mean, the Dbacks' pitcher last night had a better batting average than I think 3 of our starters!!! Granted that's in less ABs, but still, that's pathetic. Uggla is basically this year's McLouth (though to Nate's credit he is doing well this year), ie big contract = bigger bust. I know Heyward may be hurting and I don't want to bash him if injury is keeping him down, but he has vastly underperformed too. Freeman and Uggla get about 2 hits every few weeks, you never know what's going to happen with Kimbrel, and while some guys in the pen are lights-out others are disastrous. Linebrink is trash, Gearrin is unreliable at best, and I don't know what rock they found that George Sherrill guy under but he's about on par with Linebrink. And with Chipper and Heyward, 2 of our supposed offensive stars, basically made of glass, I don't see where the hitting's going to come from. Is there anybody we could make a move for at the break? We're not too far out, but with the bullpen blowing, what, 5 last-inning games so far this year, and several position players hitting below .220 I just don't know if we can catch the Phils.
