And now the Marlins win.

I believe floor for 4th would be 10. But the bad news there is that Washington, LAA and St Louis could all be locked into those 10-12 spots. I think the chance of us going from 4 to 10 was less than 1% though.

Just squint your eyes and pretend they’re playoff standings.

No odds movement overnight. We really need Drake to get going this weekend. He now has 5 hits in his last 31 at bats since the homer off Alvarado.

Pretty successful day yesterday with the Athletics, Marlins and Orioles all winning. The Pirates and Twins are just so bad and keep losing, so we can't get any ground on them. But nice to get some cushion in the fourth spot. Updated standings: T2. Twins T2. Pirates 4. Braves (1 GB) 5...

Gil is 0-8 with three Ks in his first two games at Double A.

I just want the Braves to hire a manager who doesn’t get the job because they know Bobby Cox. Please go outside the organization for once.

There are a whole host of reasons why Jim Bowden doesn't have much credibility, and that is definitely one of them. I was more thrown off by the text saying Baldwin has run away with it. Vegas certainly sees otherwise.

Buster Olney wrote a story today about offseason managerial openings. He led with Snit and said multiple people in the industry expect him to retire. He listed four candidates: Weiss, DeRosa, David Ross and Skip Schumaker. Schumaker is the only one of those four I’m interested in.
