Who's Choking More?

Texas, Atlanta, Cincy or San Diego? All are under .500 in last 10 with only a couple weeks left.

Obviously Cincy and Texas still have decent leads but both are 4-6 in last 10 and not putting it away. My vote would be for San Diego because they lost 10 straight when they were in the driver's seat. Texas has played awful lately but their division is so bad it shouldn't matter. Atlanta led the division all year but I think everyone knew Philly would make their move sooner or later and it seemed like Atlanta was overachieving all season with their roster.

I think it would be great to get some fresh blood in there with Texas and Cincy and I think both would be good playoff teams.

thought this was another sweetleaf thread....

Answer is SD, this is like Mets from 2007 choking status for them. Their sabremetrics said there was no way they could continue the pace they were on and it's coming true. You lose 10 in a row you don't deserve a playoff spot. Giants and Rockies are a better pennant contender anyway

pads - absolutely choke-job going on here. easy answer IMO.

rangers - cant be choking cause the AL west is horrible and no one will catch them.

cincy - they are trying to choke it away, but when cardinals dont have a winning record in their last 10 either, it doesnt count since they should still win the division

braves - not sure its really considered 'choking away' when the phils have won 8 of 10 and seem to be taking the division more-so than the braves are choking it away
