ESPN - Braves vs. Cubs - Box Score - June 10, 2008

All Atlanta Braves outfielders have combined for fifteen homers. Six of these are by Kotsay and Diaz, who are on the DL and may never return at this rate. As of this writing (before Monday’s games) eight major leaguers have 16 or more homers and five more have 15 exactly. If you limit to the nine homers by active players (seven by Francoeur, who sucks, and one each by Blanco and Norton) fifty-three major leaguers have more homers than the entire Braves outfield, and another ten have the same number. One or both will certainly increase when Monday’s games are added in.

This is a short post because I have to get to class a little early to study for finals. But can we please just do well tonight and this series? And on this whole roadtrip? We’re not asking for much. A few wins here and there wouldn’t hurt. We’re facing the best team in baseball record-wise, so we have to be playing smart baseball tonight. Can we please score more than a total of five runs? Please. Us fans will appreciate it very much. Glavine vs. Ted Lilly at 8:00 pm EST. Let’s get a win tonight…for once.
