Don't fret guys. The sky is still in the air today. It's true.
Sorry for being late this week. The other life called. The latest confidence poll came in at 84.22%. Last week, the Braves decided they wanted to have some fun down the stretch and allowed the Phillies to close the gap on them a little bit. Now that the lead is down to 3.5 games, I think it's time to expect the Braves to stretch that lead out a little bit again.
Braves sent Nate McLouth to Gwinnett after struggling so mightily for the entire season. Brent Clevlen was activated from the DL to take his place, but is not likely to be the permanent replacement. With the trade deadline days away and Gregor Blanco's 10 day window yet to expire, the Braves are likely just using Clevlen as a waiting out piece. Jason Heyward, Bobby Cox and Frank Wren all feel that Heyward would be a fit in CF if the need arises.
