Without even picking up a bat and throwing a pitch today because of a rainout, the Atlanta Braves saw their streak of 14 straight divisional titles, starting in 1991 and running through 2005 (no winners were named in 1994), end tonight. The New York Mets rallied from a 4-1 deficit in the eighth inning at Florida to pull out a 6-4 victory. It was the Mets 89th win of the year. Atlanta cannot win more than 88 games.
The Braves still have a very, very, very long shot at the wild card. They are five games behind the Padres, but they are in seventh place in that race.
She is now a freshman (-person?) in high school.
At the end of the last season the Braves did not make the playoffs, Barry Bonds had 117 career home runs. He hit #711, among others, this season.
More to come from Jayson Stark soon!
And whatever's in it, I will dump out onto their prone, broken, no-postseason body.
The Yankees, however...
