Season Started-Update

Wow, it's been more than a month since my last post. There has been plenty to write about (20+ more predictions, news, etc). I admit, I have been a slacker.

Anyways, the Braves have had a decent start so far. Especially the 2 game sweep of the Amazing Mets (game one postponed). They beat John Maine who is probably their 2nd best starter. The best part is the defeating of Johan Santana, arguably the top pitcher in baseball in the last 4 or 5 years.

John Smoltz looked good in his 1st start. He went 5 innings with 78 pitches and was done; a precaution decision due to his shoulder.

Tom Glavine will take the mound tonight in Colorado. I am hopeful he can last 6-7 innings and give the bullpen a little break. So far the problem of bullpen overuse remains.
