Phillies Sweep Braves, thanks a lot Kelly Johnson

there comes a moment in every season for most fans when it becomes obvious that the team you call your own just isn't gonna cut it and you should start looking towards next season or thinking about switching teams all together. that moment for the Braves came this weekend when they got their asses handed to them by the hated Phillies. Kelly Johnson's dropped pop up friday night that woulda clinched the game is pretty much a microcosm of this entire season. it's all the one run losses. the inability to hit on the road. the lack of production from the outfield. the bullpen blowing saves. the starters not being able to get a lot of innings. it's all crushing whatever outside shot the Braves had at winning the division or getting a wild card spt. oh well, maybe it's time to start trading away the dead weight (i'm looking at you Jeff) and getting come younger pieces cuz the reality is that this year's Braves team isn't gonna make the Post season and his probably gonna post of .500 record if they're lucky. the team was cursed from the get go with all the injuries capped off by the season and likely career ending injury to Smoltz and if wasn't for Chipper's quest for .400 there really wouldn't be much left to root for this season. The Atlanta Braves....fuck it.
