I don't know what team you are watching but the team I see has no fire or hunger to take the top spot. As bad as the division is, to think that we could just win the division when we can't even win three in a row is a joke. Your are correct. If we can put together a win streak we could take the top spot. One problem with that….we are to busy putting together losing streaks. Why are we not talking about Terry Pendleton? It is his responsibility to ensure quality hitting. If this was pitching I bet we would be talking about Roger Mcdowell. I believe a change is needed @ hitting coach.

Back to back shutout wins against two good teams and 4 games out…..maybe we should pack up and think about next year. NOT

It the Braves could just put together a sreak of consecutive wins greater than 2, they might gain the confidence and swagger they need to turn it all around in the 2nd half. Until the offence can put 5 or 6 runs on the board CONSISTANTLY they are going to struggle. They played decent baseball in Boston. Lets see what they can do against the Cubbies who are on a winning streak and playing well.

Meant to say… even though things didn't ROLL the Braves way. LOL I like what we're seeing from the offense, and if not for Jurrjens error in the 1st, or the home plate ump's error (an inexcusably bad ball/strike call that gave JD Drew a second chance) in the 7th… the Braves probably win that game.

Yup. And even though things didn't role the Braves way in the rubber game of the Red Sox series… they showed a lot of heart, coming back to tie the game on two separate occasions. And they scored 5 runs off tough pitching. So there are positives to take away. They were one break away from winning that game, and taking a series in Fenway. Overall, I think they played well in Boston.

Gosh, I hope that you are right regarding the Braves putting it together in the second half. I'm a Braves fan win or lose, and I agree that the starting pitching staff is deep. Its the lack of run production that is making this season so frustrating. Yes, we really do need that right handed bat in the lineup to complete the puzzle, and hopefully Wren can pull off another deal to make this team really take off.
Good writeup!
