Fear Factor

If we collapse during the second half and lose this thing it'll almost certainly be due to our own fault given how poorly the rest of the division has played so far. But if there is going to be one (or more) team(s) that catches fire and gives us a run for the money who do you think it could be? Rank 'em in order from most scary down to least Current standings: TEAM WINS LOSSES GB Record v NYM Gms Rmng v NYM METS 53 36 --- --- --- PHILS 40 47 12.0 3 - 6 10 BRAVES 40 49 13.0 4 - 5 9 MARLINS 38 48 13.5 3 - 6 10 NATL's 38 52 15.5 2 - 6 10 I'll go with: Braves Marlins Phils Nats I still believe Atlanta has a run in them and they've looked better over the last week. And, as was pointed out various times this past weekend, the Fish have the NL's best record over the last 6 weeks or so. Phils still have talent but they may start selling off soon - I think Abreu's a goner.

I still think Florida is going to surprise people. I know it's a bunch of rookies, but they've got nothing to lose. Everyone expected them to lose 100 games, but I think they'll make a little run.

But now they've shown that they're better than a 100-loss team, so expectations may rise, so they may flounder(ha!).

I'm totally stealing FK's ranking: Braves Marlins Phils Nats

Braves Marlins Phils Nats The Braves still have a run in them, and will scare the crap out of us...

I'll go with that same order, too.
