We have 77 wins as of tonight. I think we end up with 88 and the three seed in the playoffs. Nats will win 82 games and if the season was longer we would blow the division.

Gonna go grab some popcorn for this thread....
If we finish with 88 wins, I will give myself Tommy John and not watch the Braves until next August.
We've fortunately only lost one starter on offense and one starting pitcher (assuming Beachy isn't out again).
Our 2010 team won more games with less talent. We were throwing D-Lee, Omar, Prado sucked the last month, Heyward cooled off, and we had Ankiel in center. Heyward went down around the same time as Chipper did in 2010 with that ankle injury.
We are lucky we only lost Heyward. I have doubts BJ and Uggla will be this terrible the last month and a half. One of them will have a mini-hot streak. We still have Freeman, McCann, Justin, BABIP, and possibility BJ and Uggla might be ok.
Forever Fredi

Sure what the heck. I have bad odds here, so me being back in the clique and SAV suspension for 2 weeks (everyone wins here). :)
So Braves win 88 games or less and I win the bet. SAV is done for two weeks after baseball season ends for Braves and I am back in the clique that I essentially started. I will also suspend myself for two weeks if SAV wins.

Are some fans 'rooting' for the Braves to fail? I want them to win every game. I want them to win the division AND best record! I don't want "common sense" or "intelligence" to weigh in! I want a World Series championship! Why would I even think such things if I'm a fan of the team. Until the last out, I don't want to believe that they won't win!
Are Braves fans so dejected that they find reasons to believe their team will lose??
I am no less a fan of the Braves because I think we are going to struggle to end the regular season. I hope I am dead wrong. I call it like I see it. If I am wrong than so be it. I just don't have expectations for the Braves now. Hope more than anything that we win it all. I just don't expect us to win a playoff series with injuries piling up and our rotation looking beleaguered.
