Look who has a shot at the playoffs...

I was checking the Brave Cave site this morning and I was shocked. The Bravos are only 3 games out in the wild card with 6 games left to play. The Braves have a really good shot at the wild card.
San Diego has 6 road games left; 3 against the Giants and 3 against the Brewers. San Diego's road record is barely above .500.
Philadelphia has 3 games against the Braves and 3 games against the Nats.
Colorado has 3 games against the Dodgers on the road and 3 at home against the Diamondbacks.
If the Braves can sweep the Phillies, we have a real shot at the playoffs.
Good things happen when a team wins 8 out of 10 games.
If the Braves get into the playoffs, it would be at the perfect time. The Braves seem to be peaking now.

Now this is the type of win the Braves needed. Smoltz absolutely dominated the Nats and the highly vaunted offense delivered.
Chipper Jones had another career game going 3 for 4 while hammering a 3 run homer and plating 3 himself. Smoltz labored with a high pitch count yet had a no-no going into the eighth inning. Peter Moylan and Rafael Soriano arrived in the eighth and ninth innings respectively and closed out the Nats.
Combine this win with the fantastic come from behind win two days ago and the Braves have a bit of momentum going into Saturday's game.
Unbelievable play catches Schuerholz's eye...

What a win.
Hudson was lit up early but the Braves refused to lose. It was good to see some fight left in them.
I wonder what Diaz has to do to get the full time starting gig. Bobby's reasoning in platooning with Harris was Harris was just too hot to sit on the bench. That was understandable two months ago, but Harris isn't hot now and hasn't been in more than a month. Run Diaz out there full time.
While this may sound like wishful thinking, the Braves aren't out of the race. If they can bust 14 wins out of the last 17 games, we got a shot. Of course, if they could have done that at any point earlier in the year, then we wouldn't be in this position to begin with.

Well, the Braves finally win one and
move up in the standings.
Lance Cormier went 5 and two-thirds innings and the bullpen went lights out and didn't give up a hit the rest of the game. The Braves scattered 11 hits with Andruw Jones going one for four and, get this, raising his average to a solid .222 for the season. It was a complete win but it may be a little too late for hopes of the playoffs.
