Season over as far as I'm concerned. We don't deserve to make the playoffs as it is.

Come on man. You're probably right, but if they put up a sick month they should win the wildcard. I don't see how that happens with their pitching the it is, but you never know. They should be able to outscore teams despite that.

LOL, looks like another Braves apecial. I don't want them to embarass themselves in the playoffs.

I feel bad for Chipper, he's been sensational.

Well, I am taking a real vacation & a vacation from watching from a few days. I'm still pissed, though.

Can someone explain this for me? Obviously Wickman was a poor choice for closer, what with all the baserunners, but he's not a terrible reliever. Does this have something to do with his contract?

From what I've read, there are 2 likely possibilities for this move.

1. He is going to be traded to a team in need of BP help, likely Cleveland.

2. the MLB article on the topic insinuates that he has complained about pitching in non-save situations like last night, even though the rest of the pen is overworked. And this led to Bobby Cox getting full of his [censored].

He's very good at home in save situations. F-em the rest of the time.
