Buffy's Braves get help
"The acquisition of Bob Wickman gives the Braves the dependable veteran closer they've lacked throughout this season. In 29 appearances for the Indians this year, the 37-year-old right-hander has converted 15 of 18 save opportunities and compiled a 4.18 ERA."
A very nice pick up.He was able to strike out Vladi Guerrero on a very nice pitch yesterday.Pitched great to keep the Halos from rallying in the bottom of the 9th. |
Vlad isnt all that hard to strike out Scuds. The Little Old Lady from Pasadena could strike him out. Now try and strike Pujols or Jeter out. That would be a real accomplishment.
Braves have absolutely no shot! |

I hope it does...they're easy money, just bet against them in the playoffs.... |
No I dont mind the Braves at all. In fact I like them better than the Mets. Just keeping things real. They would need to keep playing at this pace for 6-7 more weeks to put them in the position to win the wildcard. I just dont see it happening. As far as Vlad goes, I like him too, but hes got a habit of wwinging at some very cooky pitches when he falls behind in the count.

They still have at least 6-7 teams they must go through to get there and I believe they play the Mets 9 more times. Thats not going to be easy. Not sure what anybody sees in this team besides the Jones boys. Granted the NL is not very good but I give the Astros a huge edge in winning the wildcard, if not their division. In that case I would give the Cards a huge edge in the Wildcard. I would be shocked if both the Cards and Astros arent in the postseason and will wear a Yankee hat if the Braves make the postseason.

What does anybody see in the Braves? It is the fact that nobody else is doing anything(other than St.Louis,San Diego,and the Mets.) |
I am confident the 8 playoff teams will be:
-White Sox, Red Sox, Tigers and A's -Astros, Cardinals, Padres and Mets What I am not so confident in is who wins the NL Central between the Cards and Astros. |

My boys are needing my faith right now. Wickman did OK last night. Got a strike out.
By the way, I have dubbed him my "Ole Big Man". Hee hee. I think he needs to lose a little weight. All I could keep saying last night while he was pitching "Dang he is a big dude". :) |
