Heckuva streak for the Bravos as they beat Philly again and push their lead to 1 1/2. Who would have thought that just a few weeks ago. 7 game win streak for Atlanta.

Next 15 games are huge for Atlanta. Obviously they finish up with Philly tomorrow but then they have a stretch that includes stops in LA and Minnesota. The Braves then return home to face the Rays. June is always a fun month in baseball, it makes and breaks a lot of teams. It's not early anymore.

Braves are definitely in a big rhythm right now.

Ive got to say Troy Glaus has been proving me wrong from what I said earlier in the season. But one reason was because I wanted Hinske in the lineup too and that has worked out by playing him in LF. The Braves are leading by a 1 1/2 games and havent even gotten a win from Jurrjens or Kawakami yet.

Me too Stripes, if I ever see that guy in person I am gonna apologize to him for all the bad things I said about him, and there were A LOT. I, like yourself, wanted Hinske in the lineup and now that everyone in the outfield other than a guy named Heyward has sucked a huge tit this year, he will be starting against all righties the rest of the year. Heck as bad as McLouth and Cabrera are playing I say leave him in against lefties too because it can't get much worse. I say give Gregor Blanco a chance at Center because it can't be much of a drop off from McClouth other than power. I can't wait til we get JJ back, then I say let Medlen and Kawakami battle for #5 spot with the other taking long relief duties.

I love Hinske...... :2thumbsup:

Hinske will play against most lefties too, but when he needs a day off that is who it will come against too though. Im still thinking McLouth will come out of it. Maybe not though.

18-4 now as the Braves sweep the Phillies by winning 2-1 today. 2 1/2 up now

EPIC!!!! Maybe it's not the 80's all over again!!! Giving Bobby Cox a little something extra special for his final season!

If you and I start ragging on him like we did Glaus at the beginning of the year he may just be an All-Star in June.
