    NL East race is FINNISH

    We actually ended the Gnats season weeks ago but today was most definitely the coup de grâce after their second head was cut off. Rejoice.

    Not worried about Phillies because we ended their season week ago.

    Here's a gif of us simultaneously ending all of our Division rivals' hopes.

    Was nice to take 2-3...surprisingly though was how little they and the Phillies did to improve their club

    After the deadline you certainly have to like our chances. I think we improved our chances of making the world series by about 3% without giving up almost anything from the farm system. So today has been a really good day.

    The title of this thread should have been: “I know it’s early, but the NL East is ours.”

    All kidding aside, I am surprised none of the three acquired a bat or front line starter.

    They don’t have anything to acquire anyone with. Nats have Kieboom but that’s about it.

    Kieboom is Rendon insurance.

    They cant give him up, but other than him, they dont have much to offer. Mets, Philly and Washington's systems are pretty bad as it is now.

    The division is bad, but the Braves look to be a good team. Curious what is their record against teams with winning records? I have no problem admitting they are a top 6 team in the game. Just honestly curious how they have fared.

    We are 26-23 against National League teams with a winning record.
