How many times have we gotten down to the wire in September and looked back on an early series that would have been a difference maker? Nice of Mrs. Payson to back me up! And yes I'm well aware that you can't count the Braves as dead untill they are 31 out with 30 to play. Love to see their record in spring against the NL East Division leader if it wasn't them.
