Braves win again stay put though with Halladays perfect game

The Braves came in to play today at 26 and 22 ready to win again. In the first inning the J-Hey kid belted a 402 ft. homer. Then Andrew Mccuthen for the Pirates countered with a homerun just our of the reach of left fielder Melkey Cabrera. Then with runners on second and third the pitcher burresd for the pirates hit a triple of Kris Medlen. After a 3 to 1 deficit for the Braves they came back. Troy Glaus hit a two run double. Then later the Braves came home with a Martin Prado 2 run double. After a 10 minute rain delay Billy Wagner closed it out earning himself his 6th save. The Braves still stand second 1.5 games out of first place as Roy Halladay threw a perfect game against the Marlins in a 1 to 0 game and Josh Johnson should have gotten better defense as an unearned scored on an under ran ball by Cameron Maybin in center in the thrid and if he would have caught the ball this game would be in extra innings. Kris Medlen thought gets his second win for Atlanta and Burres picks up his thrid loss. Nate Mclouth did have a base hit and a stolen base but Yunel Escobar still went o for 3 as he looks to rebound tommorow. Kenshin Kawakami (0-7) will be on the hill for the Braves. He will face Paul Maholm (3-4). Although Kenshin's recored does not reflect how great he has been pitching. Right now he should be at least 3 and 4. Tommorow though I have a feeling will be a good day for him. First pitch is at 1:35. With and Atlanta win and Phillie lost Atlanta will find themselves half a game out of first place as they go for the sweep of the Puttsburgh Pirates tommorow.

Braves gaining confidence standing 2nd in the East

The Braves have been on a hotstreak latley winning there last 8 out of 9 games and going from last place to second place. Last night after an 1 hour rain delay the Braves at home against the Pirates won 7 to 3. David Ross who has been catching for Brain Mccan who hurt his quad is hittingt great and went 3 for 4 last night with a three run double and two singles with another RBI. Everybody even Derek Lowe had a hit for Atlanta had a hit last night except for shortstop Yunel Escobar and Center fielder Nate Mclouth. Thought they have been hitting well though so I wouldn't call it a slump and would assume they would break out of this tonight with hits. The Braves (26-22) will play the Pirates again tonight first pitch at 7:10 and Kris Medlen (1-1) will face Brian Burres of the Pirates (2-2). Tonight with a Phillies loss and Braves win the Braves will find their self half a game out of first place.

Braves get hotter after walk off slam!

The Braves have found their stoke as they streak down the line hoping to pass more and more teams. The Braves tied the series one to one against the Met's and then yesterday started a series with the Reds. Jason Heyward hit a walk off double. Today the Braves trailed 9 to 3 and in the 9th inning came back and were down by three and then BOOM... with the bases loaded Brooks Conrad hit a walk off grand slam! IT hit off outfielder lance nixs glove as Atlanta goes home with the win and is looking to streak past more teams in the National Leauge East.

Braves go cold but come back solid vs. Houston

After a solid start against the Rockies to start out the series they got no hit the next day. Still trying to stay hot Nate Mclouth hit a walk off home run vs. the Phillie's in the tenth inning and it was his first ever career walk off. Then the Phillie's won the series 2 to 3 and then the cardinals swept ATL in a 4 game series as well as another sweep for Atlanta. The Braves back for a brief home stand and won 4 to 2 with Billy Wagner's first save oppurtunity in over 20 games. Mclouth hit a home run off the first pitch he saw and Heyward hit a home run but also got robbed by Hunter Pence. Although the Braves seem to be doing well as it looks hopeful for Atlanta. Here are the standings.

New York	14	9	.609	-
Philadelphia	12	10	.545	1.5
Washington	12	10	.545	1.5
Florida	11	11	.500	2.5
Atlanta	9	14	.391	5.0

Braves start season off Strong

The Atlanta Braves came into the season looking to be a team to beat and they have shown that so far at 2nd place in the East and 6-4. The Braves have hot bats and look to continue their strong bats after winning last night against Colorodo 9 to 5. KK will be on the Hill tonight at the Rockies as first pitch is at 7:10.

Braves almost ready for Spring Training

The Braves are almost ready for Spring Training as they have finished shopping for Free agents. Atlanta before finishing their caravan and getting ready to head to training, Atlanta singed veteran outfielder/infielder Erick Hinske who has played in the playoffs his last 3 seasons. Hinske will be a pinch hitter who can provide the Braves with some utility and power and Hinske could possibly sometimes play 1st base for Troy Glaus but not alot. Then as Atlanta seemed like they were going to be done shopping just a few days ago they offered free agent Johnny Damon a 1 year 4 million dollar contract. Damon has also been offered to play for the white Sox's and Tigers. Damon is in Hawaii and thinking it out what to do. Lets hope he signs in Atlanta.
