Braves 8-5 Brewers 4-2

"Smoltz and Hudson and pray for rain" isn't too catchy, but that's increasingly become the situation -- and it looks like Katrina is about to do her part tonight. Saturday's game turned out as you would expect, given that the Brewers employ Rick Helling, whose persistence is admirable. Lots and lots of baserunners, while Smoltz sweated out seven innings in 111 pitches. I'm starting to hear a ticking sound -- I know, perish the thought...

In Sunday's game, further evidence that Hudson has become our #1 pitcher, no disrespect intended to Smoltzie. Another complete game against a deceptively deep and powerful Brewer lineup, aided by two massive HRs by Andruw, who passed Jeff Burroughs on the ATL single-season list. Next up, at 43, Davey Johnson and Javy Lopez. Aaron's record of 47 is less safe from Andruw than his 755 are from Barry...

Game scheduled vs. Washington tonight, but almost no chance it will be played. The Weather Channel should help pass the time....
