It was a long road, but Glavine finally got his first win since returning to the Braves. It wasn’t easy, he pitched a couple great games which led to no decisions, the pen blew a couple leads. Even this game didn’t come easy. The pen did everything in their power to blow it, but lucky for us, it’s hard to blow an eight run lead.

ESPN - Braves vs. Phillies - Box Score - May 14, 2008

Tonight’s game thread is dedicated to the guy who somehow drove in four runs last night without once hitting the ball squarely!

This morning I thought of this title and it still sounds good, so I’ll use it. The title says it all. Need I explain myself? Didn’t think so. Braves need to win these next two games against the Phillies to take the series at least. That’s one thing about the Phillies I will give them credit for, they do not roll over and die, at least not against us, even when things look bad; they keep fighting until the end and we should, too.
