Braves Open Series With Padres
Written by Jonathan on May 6, 2008 – 5:19 pmJair 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.

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.

Yeah, we’re hanging in there now, Susan. Some hazy clouds are cooling us down. Summer’ll be brutal. How’re you this evening?

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

Looks like it was a fun night at Turner Field. I am looking forward to going to the game tomorrow!

We’ll be there as well. Hopefully the weather is as awesome as it was tonight.

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.
