Your guide to the NL playoffs part choke: Atlanta

I did this for the Central race back when it was, you know,  a race when Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and Milwaukee all still had playoff hopes. The Brewers kind of decided they didn't want a real pennant race so nobody needed my cheat sheets for the division.  Let's take a look at the playoff teams shall we??

*Editors note: I had this ready to post 3 days ago just in case Atlanta didn't choke away their lead...ok they did but I'm not wasting all that work...enjoy*
