BRAVES UPDATE-Special weekend.. Big win

WHAT A WIN LAST NIGHT!!!  to me that was one of the best wins of the season- It set the tone for the whole series. I hope the Braves can follow up with another one tonight. The Braves lead the majors in come back wins this season with 21. Iam amazed to see how good Constanza has done since he got promoted to the big leagues-He  has basically  put Heyward on the bench which is  called for when you check his .216 average and .174  average vs left handers. I still like Heyward alot but he is not producing at all this season and his at bats are becoming painful to watch. Constanza and Michael Bourn  have  changed the dimension of the offense.

 I was lucky enough to be able to attend the Braves  game Friday and Saturday. It was great to see John Smoltz and David Justice and the other players I grew up watching. It braught back memories of my childhood watching games on TBS. Fridays game was great- 5 Braves home runs and Uggla extending his hitting streak. Too bad that feeling didnt follow thru to saturday and sunday. But all in all it was a very special weekend at Turner Field.

 The next 7 games are so important to the series- everygame in August and September  is big but to face the 2 teams that they could possibly face in the playoffs (  D-BACKS) and the team thats trailing them for the wild card ( Giants) to beat these teams would be really  big for us. Im hoping the Braves can go atleast 5-2 during the 7 games against these guys. Im becoming annoyed with the Braves starters not named Hudson or Beachy. Our offense has finally come  up big and scored some runs but now the pitching is fallen into mediocrity. This has to change if we are going to be legit come playoff time. Philly has been almost unbeatable since getting Hunter Pence and with that rotation your not going to see them go on an extended streak of losing.Im all but  settled that we wont win divison. But I know we still havent reached our full potential as a team. I hope Hanson being on the DL will give him proper rest and he will come back being the force I know he can be. I hope the same for Jurrjens as well..  The Braves are  71-51 - its going to take  atleast 95 wins to get into the playoffs via the wildcard. that means the Braves will have to go about  24-16 over the next 40 games - If they canget there rotation right with the new dimensions of speed to the offense should not be that hard to do.. Time will tell though- Im looking forward to it.
