It's Not Gonna Happen, But Still

Can they do it? Can the Braves make an improbable run at the Wild Card with only one full week left?? Well????

The only things you need to take from the game tonight are Javier Vazquez just pitched another ho-hum complete game, Martin Prado hit a home run, and apparently some guy named Desmond is the starting shortstop for the Nationals now.

I'll go ahead and put it out there that I have already called this season a lost cause, so in no way is this me getting my hopes up. But the Braves and Rockies both won tonight, meaning the Braves remain 3.5 games back. After the weekend series with the Nationals, the Braves play nothing but the Marlins and Nationals from here on. The Rockies haven't been lights out lately. After a weekend series with the Cardinals, they play the Brewers and Dodgers to finish, with the final three coming in Los Angeles.

The schedule favors the Braves and the Braves are the hotter team. But I'm still waving them off just because I've been watching this team all season.
