After my post last week attempting to convince myself that these Braves are still worth watching, how do I feel now? Well, believe it or not, I think I feel better. Watching Nate McLouth the past few games has been fun, with him stealing bases (!), getting some big hits, and playing pretty good ...
Braves On Track For October Baseball
bravesblast.com 6/12/2009 — A quick glance at the NL East standings will remind you that the Phillies are in first place. But unless the defending champs make an impact move to bolster their pitching staff soon, they’ll be in Atlanta’s rearview mirror by the end of ...

NL East Power Rankings
macho-row.blogspot.com 6/22/2009 — Last week I established a rule for the NL East Power Rankings. Lose two of three to Baltimore and you automatically drop one spot in the rankings.

Why the Braves Should Trade Javy Vazquez
thebeardedicon.blogspot.com 6/11/2009 — So he struck out 12 in 8 innings today with no walks. So what? Anyone could do that, right? Look, I know Vazquez has been great this year, leading the NL in strikeouts with 105, sporting a 3.31 ERA, a WHIP of 1.03, and a .225 BAA. Did I say great? I meant dominant. So why on Earth should the ...

Game 70: Yankees @ Braves
nyyankeesrumors.com 6/23/2009 — Tonight, the Yankees return to Atlanta for the first time since God-knows-when. Atlanta is currently third in the N.L. East, behind Florida and Washington, the two teams the Yankees just went 2-4 against.
I’m hoping the Yanks erase that memory and take all three from Atlanta.
Here is ...
