My apologies, I was thinking of 95 earlier and had it written down, but correct 17-18 puts us around 89 wins

Braves, Nats and Phiiiies all lose. No change in NL East standings. Braves fall to 2.5 games back of Cubs for best record. Snakes are losing 6-1 in 6th to Seattle.

Missed an opportunity to really put some space between us and the Phillies tonight, but glad BJ's took care of business for us.

We should be up by four by the end of Sunday. I think we take the next two against the fish and Philly drops at least more to the BJs....

The gnats frankly don't worry me anymore (knock on wood)

Would LOVE to end up with best record in NL!

Thank god Lord Enscheff had not already come into the thread, so we could hear him berate Southerners again and our maths.

Magic number is now at 32, even though its a little early to start talking about that. We need to get as big of a lead as we can between now and Sept. 2nd. After that, we have a brutal stretch.

Red Sox for 3
@Diamondbacks for 4
@San Fran for 3
Nationals for 3
Cardinals for 3

After that we have that final 10 game stretch against PHI and NYM. But in that 16 game stretch leading up to it, I think a good goal would be to just take 8 out of 16, but that is a really really tough stretch of baseball. During that stretch the Phillies will have a much much easier road. They play 6 against the Marlins, 6 against the Mets, and 3 against the Nationals. They will probably win at least 9 out of those 15 and possibly 10 or 11.

I don't think I'll be comfortable heading into September unless we have like a 5 to 6 game lead. I really don't want the season to come down to those final 7 games against Philly, but it looks like it could be headed in that direction. They do have 4 at the Rockies in between our two series, so maybe the Rockies can help us as much as they killed us last week. Its bad for my heart, but man is it fun to be competitive.
