Counterpoint: What the Braves Need to do to Win

Going into the All-Star break, I suggested it’s time for the Braves to wave the big white flag on 2008. I think I’m in the minority on that opinion. It’s hard to argue that 6.5 games is an insurmountable deficit, and with a second half full of division matchups, we certainly have a lot of chance to help ourselves.

So with that in mind, here’s a round-up of what we need to do to win:

Baseball starts again tonight as the hapless (against all teams that aren’t the Braves) Nationals come to town. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be ecstatic if, come September, the Bravos make me eat my words.
