Dodgers @ Braves

[DravenX]

(7-8) vs. (6-9)

4/18 Game 1: Derek Lowe (1-0, 1.80 ERA) vs. Jeff Bennett (0-0, 5.52 ERA)

4/19 Game 2: Chad Billingsley (0-2, 5.59 ERA) vs. Chuck James (0-1, 18.00 ERA)

4/20 Game 3: Hiroki Kuroda (1-1, 2.89 ERA) vs. Jair Jurrjens (1-2, 3.93 ERA)

I would like to see a sweep so the Braves can get back on track but Lowe is pitching tonight against Bennett. The Braves need to give him a lot of run support.

Chipper is absolutely red hot this season. He hit another HR, a three run blast in the 5th. 5-0 in the 5th inning, our pitchers are doing a great job so far.

Make that two for Jones tonight!! Four homers in two games! Chipper is straight mashing so far and its good to see. Teixeira provides more protection than Andruw and it shows.

[DravenX]

This is why Chipper is my favorite player. He knows how to play the game and play it the right way. I'm still pissed that he was cheated out of the Gold Glove last season when he was better than Wright with the glove.

Good way to start the Dodger series and Bennett was able to get that run support but he left in the 5th with 2 out.

A change in game two's matchup. Tom Glavine was placed on the DL for the first time in his career. Chuck James will be called up.

Another nice win today. Let's keep it rollin!

Mofo is prolly kicking his Russell Martin fathead right now that his dodgers could not take advantage of the pitching injuries the braves have.

Ugh, Jeff Bennett and Chuck James? I've never looked forward to a series vs. the Braves. It's as if it doesn't matter who's in a Braves uniform.

I knew your -someone just said my name- radar would go off.

[realmofotalk]

Not exactly. I went through this thread even before you posted that.

[Kingdom]

Lize.

[DravenX]

Braves take at least 2 out of 3. I hope Jurrjens can bounce back from his previous 2 starts.

[realmofotalk]

Off topic, I won't bother to google the quote in your sig line, but that sounds like it belongs to someone from the Heaven's Gate cult.

[DravenX]

It came from the movie, "Gattaca."

[raysnbravesfan]

Hopefully Jurjens can get some run support unlike his last outing against the marlins where got 0 runs and just gave up 2

Game 3 will be shown on TBS at 1:30pm today. I was hoping it wouldn't be blacked out on FOX yesterday but I had to wait until 7pm last night to watch the game.
