Whatever is going on with the Atlanta Braves needs to end soon.
At 27-32, the Braves are 5 1/2 games out of a playoff spot. For a team that expects to compete for World Series titles every season, it's been a dismal start, with key contributors falling flat on both sides of the ball.
Though the Braves certainly still have the talent to make a run, it can't be taken for granted that they'll turn things around by the Jul. 31 trade deadline. If they're still below .500 at that time, they'll have some awfully interesting decisions to make.
