Well, that was quite a game. In a crazy, back-and-forth game where things looked bleak at least three different times, Atlanta pulled out an 8-7, 11-inning victory that kept them a game-and-a-half back in the race for the NL East.… Finish Reading

Kenley Jansen blown save wastes crazy ninth-inning comeback, Braves drop two to Seattle
I have to be honest. I’m pretty glad I didn’t get to watch this one. The Mariners pretty much dominated all day and led 6-2 going to the ninth, only for the Braves to come off the deck with five … Finish Reading

Uh, yeah…there was a game today
Well, that sucked. Pretty much nothing worthy of positive note happened in this game, and it was essentially over before the Braves even had a turn at bat.
Ian Anderson was not good. He allowed seven runs on eight hits … Finish Reading
