Braves Beat Rockies 6-4

Before I get to game news, I haven't mentioned Edgar Renteria going onto the DL. This isn't good considering the Braves are trying to play catch up. I am quite frustrated that he managed to really hurt his ankle on such a routine play. The ball wasn't hit THAT hard at him...

Tim Hudson threw another great game as the Braves take game 2 of the series.

-Mark Teixeira was quiet for the 1st time since joining the Braves. He went 0-4 with a walk.

-Chipper Jones joined Teixeira in the hit less department, going 0-5 with 3 strikeouts. Lets hope he just had a bad night, and that a slump isn't about to emerge. I heard that his hand has been bothering him...

-Andruw Jones did not start today due to injury, he should be back in a few days.

-With Escobar filling in for Renteria, Johnson can further prove that he SHOULD be playing everyday, and Escobar can prove (to me) that he is actually that good.

-Octavio Dotel gave up a grand slam, while Kyle Davies gave up a home run to Alex Rodriguez, his 500th.

The Braves barely got away with a win here. As a realist, I seriously don't think this team will be able to make the playoffs. They are too inconsistent. They can't put together a long winning streak. I hope I am wrong, and they make a late push here.

Chuck James will be pitching tomorrow vs Aaron Cook.

I also forgot to mention that Jo Jo Reyes was sent back to the minors, and Lance Cormier will be replacing him. Joey Devine was also promoted when Renteria went on the DL.
