knock on wood...

Braves get to the Dog Days of August (just about) with a weeks worth of games lead on the Phillies and Mets... virtually NO ONE thought they would be in this position... I am almost ready to change my outlook on this season... September 1st. If they are still within 3 or 4 games of first, I will fully risk a jinx and investigate playoff tickets.... fingers crossed... I was spoiled by the success of the Braves during the 90's and 2000's. I knew it would have to end but I thought I would be able to adjust once they fell back and rebuilt. Well... i missed automatic wins... THIS is more like it....
