Braves Continue to Lose/ Cox Ties Record

The Braves dropped another game to the Tigers today losing 1-2. One more loss and the Braves are at .500. Too bad this team couldn't take advantage of the Mets poor play recently.

Also, Bobby Cox tied John McGraw with his 131st ejection. We know Cox will pass and continue to add to that list.

At this point it is obvious that this team isn't good enough to make a run for the playoffs. If the Braves want to start winning, they need to start hitting (especially Andruw) and get a good quality pitcher via trade. If not, I feel that they should try to trade Andruw Jones and get something for him before he hits free agency. He has a no trade clause, but why not give it a try.

I also think they they should avoid trading Saltalamacchia. This team has a lot of infield talent in the minors and I think a prospect like Yunel Escobar, or Brent Lillibridge should be involved.
