Braves crush Phils, stand in 1st place

The Braves came into play today half a game out of first place playing the division leading Phillidephia Phillies. Chipper Jones hit a 2 run homerun to start off the game and after that it was all Braves as they lead 6 to 0 and later won 9 to 3. Troy Glaus who had a hot may belted a 3 run homerun to make the score 9 to 3. Tommy Hanson pitched 6 and 2 thirds and struck out 2 and gave up 1 run. Blanton got the loss for the Phills as the Braves have a half game first place lead and play the Phillies tommorow night at 7 on ESPN or Peachtree tv. In other news trying to break out of a slump Terry Pendleton watched film and saw that Mclouth's stance was a little wider than it used to be on the Pirates. This can be easily corrected as we hope to see a change and more succeuss on Mclouths offensive side.
