Can It Get Worse?

I hate to be the person to ask that question, but can it get any worse?  I really don’t want to be the blog of Braves pessimism, but seriously - look at this:

• Chipper’s on the DL with hammy issues
• Tim Hudson may have to have Tommy John surgery - an MRI shows ligament damage in his elbow
• We just blew two leads of at least 5 runs this past weekend.
• We just lost to the Cardinals 12-3.
• Jair Jurrjens, as good as he’s been, is now the ace of the pitching staff.
• McCann is out for a bit after a nice concussion.
• 7.5 games out in the NL East.

It’s bad, folks.  Can it get worse?  I want to build for the future and KNOW that we’re going to be better next year.  Akshay’s got an article coming later in the day to that extent.

Word has it that Teixeira will likely be moved soon, so keep an ear to the ground for that.  If you’re the RSS reading type, check http://www.bravesblast.com/feed for our feed to be one of the first to know when something goes down.
