On Friday I expressed my belief that if the Braves did well this weekend versus Florida, while the Mets and Phils played 4, that the result would be a very tight race come Monday. Well, the Braves took 2 of 3. Good job. And really, it should have been a sweep, but I’m not complaining. And yet, we find that the only team in the East to profit from weekend is the Mets. They picked up a half game on the Braves and 2 on Philly. Plus 1.5 on Florida- if that matters.
Very odd. But here’s to the Braves putting themselves back into 2nd. Now lets hope for a positive west coast trip. I’ll not feel bad about a 4-3 swing. We’ll see the top 2 teams in the west, while the Mets pitchers contend with throwing in Colorado and Houston. Lets just try to keep things where they are andf then regroup after the Celebrity All-Star break.
