Written by Jonathan on May 6, 2008 – 5:19 pm

Jair Jurrjens takes the mound tonight to continue to prove that he’s a great future player for the Braves as we open a three-game series against the Padres at Turner Field tonight. Jurrjens has pitched into the sixth in all 6 of his starts thus far and hopefully that will help keep the bullpen rested. Chris Young will be pitching for the Padres.

10 minutes til game time. Hopefully Jurrjens will continue to impress tonight.
One thought, it’s only 80ish out here and I’m dying….definitely not ready for summer baseball in Atlanta yet.

Brian Giles leads off with a double into the left-center gap on the first pitch.

Adrian Gonzalez doubles into the left field corner. 1-0 Padres.
Jurrjens needs to settle in.

1-out single for Yunel.
By Jonathan on May 6, 2008 | Reply

Yunel doesn’t makes it past second. Nothing on the board for the Braves in the bottom of the first.

I was bored yesterday with the off-day. Time for some good baseball!!

Are you surviving the heat at the park tonight? If I remember correctly, you are in the sun for the first part of the game.

Francoeur doubles and is driven in by a Mark Kotsay single. 1-1 ballgame.
By Jonathan on May 6, 2008 | Reply

Yeah, we’re hanging in there now, Susan. Some hazy clouds are cooling us down. Summer’ll be brutal. How’re you this evening?
By Jonathan on May 6, 2008 | Reply

Kotsay scores from first on a double by Blanco. 2-1 Braves after 2.

Jurrjes gives up a single and hits a batter but avoids any damage in the inning.

Single for Yunel to leadoff the third. Chipper follows with a 2-run homer.
4-1 Braves.

Solo home run for Kotsay. 5-1 Braves. Who needs Andruw?

Sorry I was just flipping channels. Anyhow…what’s up JT?

Hey JB. Not too much, beautiful night for baseball.

Man, I know they walked Chipper with first base open…but they need to start walking him in every situation

JB, why aren’t you here?

Ohman gives up two in the top of the 7th. 5-3 Braves. 7th inning stretch.

Not too shabby. Enjoying the lovely weather at Turner Field tonight.

5-3 Braves. Top of the 9th.

Wow, this looks like a scary ending…
By Jonathan on May 6, 2008 | Reply

Very much so, Susan.

Final. 5-3 Braves.
By Susan on May 6, 2008 | Reply

Looks like it was a fun night at Turner Field. I am looking forward to going to the game tomorrow!
By Jonathan on May 6, 2008 | Reply

We’ll be there as well. Hopefully the weather is as awesome as it was tonight.
By Rue on May 6, 2008 | Reply

i’m glad the weather is so perfect now. nothing like sitting in a seminar with all men (seriously, i’m the only chick) and having that to look forward to. it makes the very long day go by much faster. i just hope that holds up tomorrow. and maybe i’ll sneak out on thursday – probably not, but maybe.

i had fun tonight guys. and it was even more fun walking out with the win.

- guest_5846 : guest_4030 your retarted
- guest_4030 : we are below 500 because all the games are not on TBS
- guest_4030 : the reason the Braves are below 500 is because they don't broadcast all the games on
- Rue : hey kent good job man!
- guest_6748 : 2 words ADAM DUNN
- guest_5501 : r u kiddin we suck
- guest_9193 : See if we can beat red sox tonight
- Ben : He was supposed to be a baseball god he cant even hit the ball out of the infield
- Ben : they need to trade (suckfest) Jeff francoeur
- guest_9113 : I agree; it is way past time for Bobby Cox to be released. How many years do the Braves fans have to wait for a winning team ? Why do they trade or sign good free-agents, only to let them go; and the teams they perform great for their new teams. New franchise teams seem to be able to re-build after terrible seasons, why can't the Braves ?
- guest_7732 : cox needs to go
- guest_6049 : they should have kept Tex and sent off glavine and hampton to allow some cap room
- guest_6049 : kent who else are they going to give up besides prospects who we seem to ship off every chance we get. Its not like they want to give up anyone else. we need to keep prospects. It seems like the Texas Rangers are full of great talent because of the Tex trade why would they want to give up their whole farm system?
- guest_3601 : It would be nice to see the Braves move Frenchy. I heard he may go to the Marlins
- Kent : guest_6049, I disagree that they're only willing to give up Frenchy. They've still got trading chips, and they'll use them (responsibly).
- Kent : That said... it's unusual to see a June impact deal (such as McLouth). Whatever the Braves get, it probably won't be until July.
- Kent : I'm certain Wren is working the phones. And I think another deal will be made for one more bat.
- guest_6049 : the only thing they are willing to give up is frenchy and no one wants that pos
- guest_6049 : the braves are to cheap to get anyone worth a crap
- guest_1000 : any rumors who the braves are looking at as far as a big bat
- guest_5894 : Eff the Braves. They are a joke now. What a sham of an organization. This thing needs to be blown up and stared over. If we are going to suck then lets suck with the young and inexpensive. The current roster is not going to win.
- guest_3846 : We are getting our butts kicked again. I am calling it now. The season is over. Let's try to get what we can for Lowe and Vazquez. Not sure what to do with Kawakami but it looks like a nunmber 4 or 5 starter to me and that is an expensive 4 or 5.
- guest_6118 : hey retards r u there
- guest_5744 : is any one there
- guest_6118 : and why did the braves even express intrest in brad penny we need a big bat not pitching
- guest_6118 : francoeur sucks
- Michael Ramm : Colin: agree, I don't know why we wasted time with Glavine anyway. The departure was harsh, but needed.
- TR : Francouer and Johnson... the new Shaffer!
- guest_8601 : Hope you will include our Nats Blog on your links: www.centerfieldgate.com
- Colin : I'm not sorry to see Glavine go. I was worried we were spending a lot of money on him for a very marginal return.
- Jonathan : So Glavine's hitting the road. Can't say I saw that one coming, but I can't really blame the Braves.
- Theo : I'm tired of watching a team, owned by an out-of-town partnership... Giving us a .500 team...what gives with that?
- guest_1666 : lose shaeffer... Fast!!!
- guest_1666 : please get an outfield that can hit!!!
- Jonathan : Nice that I finally get to watch a Braves game. Vacation took away my ability to do that for a week.
