Braves vs Brewers

It's been a couple days since my last post. I took today off from work (sick) and was able to watch the game. I was thinking of what to put in a rant post until the Braves scored 7 runs in the 8th. It immediately put a smile on my face just as it did to those in the Braves dugout. I think today was a confidence booster. 9-3 was the final score.


Before I get with today's game. A couple things on the 1st two games...

-Chuck James pitched pretty well on Monday. If he can continue this that would be very helpful.

-Andruw Jones hit his 350th homerun. A pretty impressive accomplishment at the age of 30.

-Some good news on John Smoltz. He left early in yesterday's game due to injury, but it was minor and he will make his next start. What a sigh of relief.

Today's game looked like another loss. I was pretty disappointed the Braves could only get one run off of Dave Bush. It always seems like the Braves can't hit poor pitchers. Tim Hudson threw a wild pitch which let Damian Miller score from 3rd, putting the Brewers up 2-1 in the bottom of the 7th. When the TBS broadcasters said that the Brewers are 25-1 with a lead after the 7th, I thought for sure the Braves lost this.

-I thought everyone did pretty well, except for Scott Thorman and Pete Orr. I am being patient with Thorman, because I believe he can improve if he continues to play on an everyday basis. I am trying to figure out why Pete Orr is still on the team. Orr, Woodward, and Prado need to go.

-Rafael Soriano was pretty dominant all of May. This game he struck out the 1st two batters on 6 pitches. Prince Fielder cooled him off with a homerun.

The Braves get an off day tomorrow and will begin a series agianst the Chicago Cubs on Friday.
