That loss against the Phillies last night hurts pretty bad right now.

Especially when you get a 4-0 lead in the first. Now I didn't expect Chuck James to throw a shutout, but you have to find a way to get out of the first inning without giving up four runs. The momentum just died after that, which shows you why the Braves only got one more hit.

I'm not the kind to blame the umpires by any stretch, but a couple of those strikes in the ninth against Willie Harris and Escobar were rather questionable. Oh well, it happens. Atlanta has to come out and win this game today. No question about it.
