Now in first place...

Your Atlanta Braves!!! Yay!! (Sounds of thunderous applause) Well tied for first really, but it is abundantly clear that the Braves and Nationals are headed in two drastically different directions: The Braves towards another National League East title, and the Nationals right to the bottom of the Anacostia River. The Nats collapse of late is reminiscent of many a Cubs team that stumbled and fell in the late summer heat.

With Chipper back and Hudson pitching again the Bravos are right on track to be where they should. Because you can’t completely choke in the playoffs if you don’t make it in the first place!!
