Braves Division Elimination Countdown

[Willets Point]

So the Braves are down to 19 now, yes?

Yupster.

Washington, who seemingly thought they were in the hunt as the trade deadline approached, has repeatedly blinked since then, and is now only 4.5 games ahead of Pittsburgh, and plummetting fast.

Their elimination number is down to 12, with Florida at 19 and Philadelphia at 22.

If Soriano walks, they'll have some 'splainin' to do.

[MFS62]

Are we really concerned about the Braves not winning the NL East title?


I'll be happy when they are eliminated from any possibility of the Wild Card. That is the magic number that's important to me.

Based on the pain they've inflicted on the Mets over the years, I now defer to Mr. Conan the Barbarian for a quote about what I'd like to see the Mets do to the Braves.

"Crush your enemies.
Drive them before you.
Hear the lamentations of their women."

Later

I hope he improves his attitude before he takes over the Tonight Show in 2009.

I supposed we're all entitled to the philosopher that suits us.

The guy on SNY says the magic number is 20..WTF?

[Gwreck]

20 for the Mets to win the division.

16 for the Braves to be eliminated from potentially winning the division.

[metirish]

Ahh thanks...

The Royals have opened elimination season by officially dropping from the AL Central Division race. One more win by Chicago or loss by them and they are also out of the Wild Card race before the start of September.

[stevejrogers]

It is now 11

[stevejrogers]

Its now 10!

A good sweep this week knocks it down to 4 or 3 depending on the night cap tonight.

Ah well what can you do...

2 more Met Wins and/or Braves losses Officially ends the 11 year run as NL East Champs for the Atlanta Braves

[Willets Point]

Have we ended the Braves' division-winning streak yet? It feels like we should have but the numbers don't add up. I totally need to gloat to my Braves-fan friend when it happens.

[Valadius]

There are 20 games left for both teams, and the Braves are 19 back. Almost there.

[Valadius]

Braves currently losing to the Cubbies, 6-0.

[Willets Point]

The Silver Lining:


With no effort on the part of the Mets, the magic number for ending the streak of Braves' divisional dominance is reduced to 1.
