Cruz Control second over Mueller or Nomar? Intriguing.

Nomar didn't play and Lowe gave up 3-run bombs to LaRoche and Andruw. But it's nice to see the Braves bullpen is in fine shape.

Atlanta 11-10

[Providence A's]

Blowe hurt a couple of my fantasy teams...thankfully, he's not an anchor on either team

[realmofotalk]

For five innings, Brad Penny pitched like the guy whom the Dbacks should regret having traded in exchange for Matt Mantei.

Dodgers 5-4

[padrefanforever]

Giving up 24 runs in 3 games...........that rotation looks top notch so far.......

So is the Braves' pitching.

Pretty bad when the pitchers were teeing off on the dodgers.
