Its Better to Burn Out
than fade away. And the Braves are going down in flames in a spectacularly unsatisfying fashion. As the Mets arrived in town, the Braves faced their moment of truth. They've failed utterly. Pitching has largely been the problem, allowing 6 first inning runs to the Mets in 2 games. Tim Hudson was smacked around again, surrendering 9 earned runs in less than 6 innings. But the hitting has been lackluster as well- Marcus Giles is the only Brave with more than one base hit in the series.
And now Chipper returns to the DL. And Betemit is gone to LA. Well, we have a fancy new set-up man, but I fear nothing will be in set-up condition. A week ago we were poinsed to march into the wild-card with our eyes firmly on the Mets. Now we watch as the Mets roll through Atlanta like Sherman. And we regress to trail 8 teams in the also-ran play-off race. Well, at least we should be able to grab some good seats at the Ted this August.
So how's your summer going?

Yep. Having a set-up man and a saves guy doesn't help much if you don't have those types of situations.
Sorta like moving in peacekeepers in the middle of a war when there's no peace to keep.
Yep. We'll polish up our closer and set-up man and put them up on the mantle for everyone to see. It'll look real nice. Hope they brought some good books to read to pass the time.
