Good match up on Saturday. Let’s hope we can get the bats going in this series!!! If Medlen pitches his game tonight and mixes up his pitches, stays down, and nothing over the plate, we have a decent chance. Then again, we HAVE to swing the bat better than we did in DC. Stupid Nats.

Boston is apparently pushing hard for Ross too. It’s official — Berkman to Yanks. So that possibility is out for the Braves… Go team.

I’m not bashing Glaus but I really wonder if he shouldn’t be on the DL. It almost looks like he needs a wheelchair to make it to first base.

Trivia answer: Hey I did get Bob Wickman but I totally forgot about Jeff Reardon. Come on Braves, let’s go!!!
