Anyone else watching MLB??? Great NL Wild Card race!

[MrJT]

I sure am! The National League Wild Card race is sure heating up. Atlanta has won 14 out of their last 16 games (currently a 6 win streak) to pull in close behind Colorado for the Wild Card slot. #3 in the Wild Card race is Florida (their last 16 games not so exciting, 50/50).. and guess who their next three game series is against... Atlanta! Man it doesn't get much more exciting than this!

I think I had three or four games on yesterday I was watching.

By the way, I'm actually a Phillies fan.. and they're inches away from winning the NL East.

the giants toyed with me and gave us all a glimmer of hope for a while. now for the slide back into mediocrity.

Yeah, it is. Great, huh. Bravos are playing well. First time they have been in the race in a few years. I'm hopin' Chipper gets hot! What are they 2 1/2 back?

I'm hopin' Colorado stumbles. Next three days could be crucial.

I'm so baseball ignorant, I thought his was thread about Martin Luther Bing.

 

[ChadW]

Yep Braves are back 2 1/2 games.

+1 on hoping for Colorado to stumble!

I used to be a Phillies fan until they signed Michael Vick.

I'm very excited about this wild card race. I'm a Braves guy, so of course I'm biting my nails these days. Philadelphia is my number two, so I'm happy there obviously!

This live update stuff on CBSsports.com is great! I've been watching the game instead of doing my school work

Bottom of the 7th by the way. Braves 3, Marlins 0

Edit:

Final Score: 4-0 Braves

Braves fan since the days of Henry Aaron. Those teams had great hitting but no pitching.
Yes, the 90's were a good time for Braves fans, until the playoffs.
The Braves are about the hottest team around and the wild card could really be interesting, but it will be hard to beat the Yankees or the Phillies.

Those were the days. CLete Boyer, Orlando Cepeda, Niekro, Felix Millan, Milo Hamilton. Remember any of those guys?

Oh yeah! I really got into them around the time of Aaron, Dusty Baker, Darrell Evans, Davey Johnson, etc.
I was about 13-14 years old and the family decided to vacation in Atlanta. We saw Stone Mountain,Underground Atlanta and the highlight for me was at the old Fulton County Stadium.
When my oldest daughter graduated from high school all she wanted for a graduation present was to go se a Braves game with Dad. (We beat the Mets that night.)

Braves fan here, too - I thought they were pretty much done for the year, but I guess where there's life, there's hope!

 

[jpwhel]

Astros fan, the season has been over for quite a while. I did live in Atlanta for a while many years ago, I think I'll root for them again.

 

[h2coman]

St. Louis Cardinal fan here. The Rockies haven't been around long enough to be a "real MLB team".

 

[enidpd804]

I'm a Braves fan in OK. That means suffering with mlb.tv if I want to watch games. I'm pretty psyched about the WC race but I fear the Bravos are just getting my hopes us. Plus, the Rockies have to really fall down to lose it with only six games left.

I'm a Met fan. There is no joy in Mudville.

 

[bummer]

Pirates and Indians fan, like the above post " No joy in Mudville"
