So this is what it feels like to win back to back games. If Andruw ever starts hitting and we pick up a good starting pitcher, I think we'll be fine. Let's finish out the sweep tomorrow.

I agree! We need to go out & get at least one good solid SP because the bullpen has done their job quite well. Other than Smoltz & Hudson we really haven't experienced any consistent SP. James has looked good at times but not consistent. Davies really has only one good start but still hasn't been bad. Carlyle really has pitched pretty nicely when given the call. I don't think Davies & Carlyle in the 4th & 5th spots is going to take us into the playoffs.

Right now, we have 2 good SP's & 3 others that you don't know what to expect. James is capable of pitching well enough to be that 3rd guy but he just needs to be more consistent. There's rumors about us getting Buehrle & that wouldn't be a bad choice. We may even need to consider another SP too since so much inconsistency from the other guys. Thanks!

7 runs through four innings. Looking good.

22 hits tonight and Andruw only has 1, he got boo'd him when he fouled a bunt in the air to the catcher with no outs, it was a horrible attempt.

The sweep was great, Braves need to follow this up with a sweep of the fish.

Braves putting a beating on Florida. 8-0 right now. Looks like it will be 4 in a row.

Is it just me, or do the Braves get more bad calls in their favor than any other team, ever? Unbelievably lucky they are.

I don't know if we always get the calls or not but we certainly did tonight.

Haha.......it is because Bobby Cox fusses so much. You don't think all those ejections were nothing or because the umps made bad calls against the Braves.
