Braves return to the post season...

 

...thanks in part to this guy's 1st career walk off homer!

Oh yeah.  This guy played a good game tonight too.

All is well in the universe.

The Braves extend Bobby Cox's last season!

Thank you San Francisco!  With a Braves win today over the Philadelphia Phillies and a loss by the San Diego Padres the Braves claim the NL Wild Card in the 2010 post season.  Bobby Cox last season as Braves skipper isn't over yet!  All I can say is I can't wait for Thursday's game 1 against the Giants.  I wish the Braves had home field advantage since their winning percentage has been so good this season, but I'm just happy the Braves made it in!  Congratulations to the Atlanta Braves!

The Braves control their own destiny....

...and right now it seems like their falling apart.  Omar Infante isn't covering 2nd base on a ground ball hit to Brooks Conrad in the top of the 6th inning.  That loads the bases for the Phillies.  Peter Moylan then walks in a run.  Mike Dunn enters the game as the new pitcher and gives up a grand slam to Jimmy Rollins.  7-2 Philadelphia.

Entering this game the Braves had 2 different ways of clinching a post season spot. 1) Their magic number is 2 - win 2 of the last 3 games to make it in or 2) win against Philly tonight and San Diego losing to San Francisco.  Right now winning tonight against the Phillies doesn't look too good.  Is it time for Braves nation to be worried??
