Blarg!



The Braves fell again, running their losing streak to four games. That’s the second longest current losing streak in the National League behind the Astros who are at seven straight. And then there is always the Blue Jays who have lost nine in a row. Yikes!

Although with Derek Lowe’s turn out of the way, I am a bit nervous to think who will be the Braves stopper. Jair Jurrjens? He’ll pitch like an ace, but can the Braves supply the run support he needs to pick up a “W”. Golly, I hope so.

Atlanta is sitting three and half games behind the streaking Mets in the NL East, but it’s early still. Hopefully they can start to get things rolling and salvage a good series against the D’Backs.

News&Notes: Tom Glavine pitched five scoreless innings for Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday...Don't forget to vote for your favorite Brave for the 2009 All-Star Team!
