Mets 8 Braves 1

Don't know if Hampton is still hurt or just rusty, but that was pretty ugly. Could be nothing more than the law of averages catching up to him -- Hampton was having a fine year prior to his injury, but he's not a sub-2.00 ERA pitcher. Anyway, crappy game, not much to say.

Tomorrow the Braves begin a series in San Francisco against Los Gigantes Viejos. Here was today's starting lineup for the Giants, with their ages:

Michael Tucker (34)
Omar Vizquel (38)
J.T. Snow (37)
Moises Alou (39)
Ray Durham (33)
Mike Matheny (34)
Pedro Feliz (30)
Jason Ellison (27)

Of course, Ellison is only starting because Marquis Grissom (38) is hurt, likewise Feliz for Bonds (40). Brave-O-Matic will go on record to predict that Bonds will not surpass Aaron's 755 -- Hammerin' Hank's record will therefore stand until 2014, when ARod passes him on the way to 800+.
