The official NL East Thread

[Blade]

Worst week this season.......grr.

[Dawg4Life]

Thank God we have Hudson pitching tonight because we desperately need a win right now. Go Braves!

[NAHSTE]

HOLY SHIT....Braves were down 6-1, grabbed three runs in the 8th off of a Wes Helms error...Nunez comes in for the save an inning later, and then the late game magic began.

Here's the sequence:

- Conrad walks in 4 pitches
- Diaz hits a two-run bomb to right to tie the game
- Prado, Heyward are retired
- Brian McCann rips a liner over the wall, initially ruled a double, but proven to be the game winning HR after replay.
- Braves win 7-6 by scoring six runs in the final two innings.

Conclusion:

This fucking team never dies. I have lost track of how many last AB wins we've gotten this year, but it's nearing 30.

Sorry, Philadelphia, we ain't going nowhere.

Sorry, Philadelphia, we ain't going nowhere.

We're taking the East back.

[NAHSTE]

We're taking the East back.

We already did

Another great all-around performance last night for the Bravos, a 9-3 win over the Mets. Also picked up a game on the Phillies to move 3 up in the standings. Heyward and McCann are on fire right now!

[NAHSTE]

The Braves never fail to clownstomp the Mets at home. I must admit I had to laugh a little bit when they said that Oliver Perez hadn't been used in 29 days and is owed $12 million for next year.

Then he served up a meatball to B-Mac, who absolutely obliterated it. Might have beeen Brian's biggest shot of the season. Frenchy didn't even move once it was hit.

[Dawg4Life]

Braves own the Mets again last night, 9-2, thanks to that huge 5th inning capped off by Cody Ross' grand slam. Phillies did win though so we are still 3 up, but Kershaw is pitching for Dodgers today so hopefully he can take down Phillies.

[NAHSTE]

Gotta get this 4-game sweep.

[JTRaines92]

Freddie is starting in his debut. I can't wait to see what he can do!

[Blade]

Work's been busy, got so much to rant about.

But apparently all we needed was the Dodgers pitching staff to score more than 4 runs in a game.

[NAHSTE]

Braves are already 3-0, Heyward hit the hardest ball I've ever seen and Prado ripped a double. When will teams learn that you can't sneak a high fastball past Martin Prado?

Oh well, let's keep the skulffucking going. Has anyone noticed that no Mets fans ever post in this thread? LOL

[SethMode]

Jesus the Mets are just ass terrible. The Braves are absolutely shelling Pelfrey.

At least the Phils won. This years playoffs are gonna be pretty sweet, as I think both the Phils and the Braves get in regardless of who wins the East.

[NAHSTE]

Make that 4-0. Infante and Heyward are each 2-2. They've been impossibly hot lately.

Heyward hit a screamer to left field that rolled from third base to the warning track in .5 seconds.

The dude hits it harder than anyone in baseball. That is a fact.

[Woy]

Make room for me on the Braves bandwagon...I've jumped on for the remainder of the season.
