August 7, 200521 yr the two games in Colorado are HUGE, you can gain a full game on everybody if not a 1 1/2 with a team a lose by the other teams tommorrow A sweep is a MUST
August 7, 200521 yr Umm, two games that we really need to take advantage of, but they are by no means the biggest of the year IMO.
August 7, 200521 yr I see what he is saying. It would be a nice boost to take them both. I think this whole week is pretty big because we are jamming a lot of games up against each other and we have some key players sitting out.
August 7, 200521 yr its VERY difficult to sweep a double header, I dont care who the opposing team is...while a sweep is possible, I wouldn't bank on it...I'd be very satisfied with a split...
August 7, 200521 yr These are the worst types of posts in this forum. Every week some moron says "sweep or we are done!! lolzlds!!!" Our "2 most important games" are against a non-divisional, non-wild card contending Colorado Rockies. :lol
August 7, 200521 yr A sweep is huge, but given the outcome of today's games (so far) minimized the necessity of a sweep.
August 7, 200521 yr I agree. I'd be satisfied with a split. It is difficult to sweep a double header, much less one on the road. . .As for the 2 most important games of the year.....I couldn't disagree more. Think of all the games coming up against the NL East. Also every single home game in the next 13 is important. All home games against weak teams. We need to take advantage of these. Every game is important from here on, but the next 2 in Coors where anything can happen I would have to say are the least important of them all.
August 7, 200521 yr Yeah, if anything, the Fish can afford to lose more to teams like Colorado (or Cincinnati or any other also-rans) rather than to teams that they are fighting with for both the division or wild card....which isn't to say that losing to Colorado would be good, but a sweep tomorrow is definitely not a must. But it would be nice.
August 7, 200521 yr While a doubleheader sweep at Colorad is possible and should happen, it will be difficult with Valdez on the mound and his road struggles, and the injuries that have happened as of late.
August 7, 200521 yr The most important games of the year are in the month of September when we play every single one of the wild card contenders. Luckily for us, we have a solid home stretch with some not so great teams to cushion us through the recent injuries. We need Delgado, Enc, and LD to be healthy for that September stretch. Its going to be some fun baseball.
August 8, 200521 yr Let's win them both. I'm sick of the Marlins being Atlanta's bitch. 892964[/snapback] Amen to that.
August 8, 200521 yr I'll echo what everyone has said--if we get the sweep it's HUGE. But it's not easy to sweep a doubleheader, especially looking at how our lineup's a bit thin.
August 8, 200521 yr you guys gotta understand what this dude is saying we're talking about a 1 1/2 game swing tomorrow...for instance, if we win both games, and the braves lose, we're only 4 games back of the division (if stros lose, we're only .5 games back) if we split, and the braves win, we lose a half game... now, is a sweep a necessity? absolutely not...but how good would it be to go home 7 games above .500 and a game or a half game out of the wild card and only 4 out back of the division, i mean, its golden. so necessary, no, would it be absolutely sweet as hell and give guys confidence especially on a huge comestand coming up against poor teams? absolutely. go fish
August 8, 200521 yr Let's hope the two most important games are against Atlanta October 1 and 2. :thumbup
August 8, 200521 yr Let's hope the two most important games are against Atlanta October 1 and 2. :thumbup 893051[/snapback] Why stop there....why not say I hope the Marlins most important game of the year is Game 7 of the World Series in October....
August 8, 200521 yr Let's hope the two most important games are against Atlanta October 1 and 2. :thumbup 893051[/snapback] wouldn't it just be nice to have such an overwhleming lead against the bravos that those games are meaningless??
August 8, 200520 yr Let's hope the two most important games are against Atlanta October 1 and 2. :thumbup 893051[/snapback] wouldn't it just be nice to have such an overwhleming lead against the bravos that those games are meaningless?? 893106[/snapback] Yeah it would be nice, but I don't think the Braves are going down without a fight.
