The Braves (finally) won one. “Half” the team showed up. The “half” I am referring to is of course, the pitching. Huddy certainly had his “A” game going, and Moylan was more than up to replacing the ailing Soriano. The bats still haven’t come around yet, but at least showed signs of life.

Didn’t we just play these guys?

I have to make this post short because I have a test next class and I need to look over my study guide. I won’t be out of class until 2:00 pm, so this is probably the only chance I’ll have to post this.

            Bad news Braves fans, I, like I’m sure you as well, have a dreaded case of the Chop Town Blues. And boy, do we got it bad.

I try to keep these recaps positive, I really do. I try to focus on the good things the Braves do rather than the negative. But, these last three games have really made that difficult, with this game the hardest of the three. Every time the Braves managed to chip away at the lead, the Rockies answered back with twice the number of runs, at least.

The little kid singing lead is pretty good. Whatever happened to him?

Well, it’s not really new, but Frenchy’s official site has a new look to it than it did last year and I believe it runs better. During the off season it was down, and I’m assuming that’s because it was being redone. The overall look of the site flows really well, in my opinion. The layout is a lot better than the previous one and is more functional for visitors. Frenchy even has his own blog on his official site, but it doesn’t allow you to comment on it like the Delta blog that he posts on, because Delta is running on WordPress and the blog on Frenchy’s site is run by something else. Personally, I think he would get more feedback and interaction by having comments on his official blog, but that’s just me. Maybe he’ll have that feature added sooner or later.

Note: This article was meant to be released earlier, but due to schedule confusion, I screwed up, and it’s late.

Back in the Braves heyday it was said the Braves had “great pitching and just enough offense.” Now, I think it should be said the Braves have “good pitching and almost enough offense.” Today the Braves fell to 3 and 5, with all five of their losses by one run. I’m afraid that’s just not getting it done.

This was supposed to be the video yesterday. The plan was that I was going by alphabetical order by band, ABC etc. But I and H just got flipped. Oh, well.

Last night’s historic game in Coors Field was also a major downer with a 2-1 loss. Not only did we get quality pitching yet again from our starter in Tom Glavine, and I know it was freezing the entire time, but there was only three hits and those were spread out through nine innings. It wasn’t like it was the first time we were facing Aaron Cook and we usually hit him pretty well. We hit better against Johan Santana on Sunday than yesterday. But enough griping, it’s not going to change the outcome unfortunately.
