Another pathetic loss tonight as the Detroit Tigers sweep the Braves 0-5. The Braves have scored 1 run in the last five games. That is 4 shut outs out of 5 folks.
You do have to take into consideration of the teams the Braves have played lately. Minnesota Twins, Cleveland Indians, Boston RedSox (twice) and the Detroit Tigers are certainly no cake walk. 2 of them are in 1st in their own division, and the others are very capable of playing in the playoffs.
Team Records
Redsox 48-26
Tigers 45-29
Indians 43-31
Twins 38-35
Although I didn't expect the Braves to play this poorly during interleague play, I knew it wasn't going to be easy.
The Braves play the Washington Nationals tomorrow. Maybe the Braves will be able to win a couple and get things back on track. I know that they will start playing better again, it is just a matter of when.
So instead of saying "the Braves suck!" or "we are done" just take a moment and think about it, the season isn't even halfway over and the Braves are only 4.5 games back. I am still expecting JS to make that trade to help the Braves make a serious run for the playoffs and there is no way Andruw hits .200 for the rest of the season.

I read on Yahoo! that Andruw Jones would have to hit .310 the rest of the season to raise his batting average to .260 - .270 range.
It is pretty unlikely of Andruw to hit .310 for the rest of the season. Maybe he can do it for a month.
