Also, the Braves are 51-2 when scoring at least 5 runs. Which is amazing.
Even more amazing, the Braves are 46-0 when scoring at least 6 runs. No other team in baseball comes close to that.
oh, and, unjinx.

Hello Capt. We still remember those lean years at Fulton County with 3000 to 4000 in attendance. Where the attendance went up on the days Knucksie pitched.

5 runs is enough today.
4.5 games out now in the East. A win tomorrow and we are out by 4.0 games with Nationals have way tougher schedule. They play 7 vs Cardinals and 3 vs Dodgers and 6 vs Phillies.
Phillies I consider tough.
We have a shot

Clemens probably wants to make a comeback so he can pass Greg Maddux on the all-time wins list. Clemens has 354 and Maddux has 355.

Going into the 7th It will be interesting to keep an eye on Hudson’s fastball velocity. It was 91-92 for the first 5 innings. 6th inning it was 88-89. Sign of fatigue maybe

The Nats have lost way too much this past week for the Braves to still be 5.5 back.
But it’s not a matter of them losing as the Braves not being choke artists.
Cannot have another douchey Monday letdown against the sorry @$$ Padres.
Time to step it up.

Remember a 5 run lead over the Phils evaporated pretty quick for Timmy a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully he can get through the 7th but I wouldn’t leave him out there too long if it starts unraveling.
