The days when Tom Glavine couldn't beat the Braves and the Mets came to Turner Field to see their season die have come to a close. Barring a miraculous turn of events, so, too, have the postseason hopes that had existed in Atlanta.Making his first return to Atlanta as a 300-game winner, Glavine finally conquered his good friend John Smoltz and all but erased the Braves from the National League East race. The 3-2 loss they suffered to the Mets at Turner Field on Sunday afternoon simply compounded the frustrations they experienced during this lost weekend.The sweep dropped the Braves 7 1/2 games behind the Mets, their largest deficit of the season. The Braves have lost nine of 12 and are only 22-26 since the All-Star break. Atlanta began the day 6 1/2 back in the wild-card race.
