Atlanta Braves Officially Out of Race Before They Are Out

The Atlanta Braves sale of Mark Teixeira for a worst first baseman, albeit cheaper, and some below average pitcher is a true sign the Braves have little interest in competing anytime soon. It is really unfortunate, too, because we fans are not used to this. We experienced more than a decade of good times, and [...]

Darkness Awaits Braves Away From Home

Finally, we can say that Mark Teixeira helped the Atlanta Braves win a game with good hitting at the right time. We can also thank Jorge Campillo for the same thing, as odd as it sounds. Together, they drove in six of the Braves eight runs in the 8-1 win against the Milwaukee Brewers. The [...]

Atlanta Braves Back On The Road Means Losing

Just unbelievable. That is the initial feeling I get after just watching the Milwaukee Brewers come back from being down 2-0 to beat the Atlanta Braves in the bottom of the ninth inning, 3-2. It’s another road loss for the Braves; it’s another one-run loss for the Braves. But, the result should be absolutely believable, [...]

Atlanta Braves Rake Mets And Leave Bruises

Here’s to the New York Mets: You just got swept. The Atlanta Braves just completed an incredible four-game crushing of the reeling Mets.

Clutch Shows Up

Finally, the Atlanta Braves had some clutch hits in a game. Wonderful things happen when you get hits with men on base. Against the Cincinnati Reds last night, the Braves broke away from a close game to dominate the Reds in the late innings with some clutch hitting and strong pitching from the bull pen. [...]

Smoltz Likely to Return to Bullpen

John Smoltz, who is currently serving the first week on the disabled list, is reportedly going to return as the Atlanta Braves closer once his shoulder heals. The revelation reported here is a serious blow to the Braves rotation already reeling from inconsistency and injuries. Although Smoltz would solidify the closer position for a very [...]

Desperate For A Broom

The Atlanta Braves come to Washington DC for a series with the Nationals. As early as it is in the season, the Braves are in desperate need of a sweep against the Nationals this week. Tim Hudson (1-0, 3.46 ERA) takes the mound to face Matt Chico (0-1, 5.56 ERA). On face value, this should [...]

Will Tim Hudson’s Domination Over Nats Continue?

There are a lot of pitchers out there who can claim the fame of dominating the Washington Nationals. Tim Hudson is one of them. Hudson gets his fifth opening day nod tomorrow against the Nats in their new shiny downtown park. Against the Nats, Hudson has been unstoppable. In eight starts, he’s gone 5-1 with [...]
