Not to come into another thread and talk smack, but I think you guys would need several SI covers, a few broken mirrors, a small army of black cats running amok at Shea Stadium and at least one voodoo shaman to bring about the kind of rotten luck the Mets would need to blow the division at this point.
That said, there's absolutely no way the Braves are legitimately this bad, and the pitching has to improve. I wouldn't count them out for the Wild Card spot. The Braves are like Rasputin; I'll believe they're dead when I see the "z" next to "Atlanta" in the standings that denotes teams eliminated from playoff contention.
