Game 2 Against The Phillies

Written by Jonathan on May 14, 2008 – 6:50 pm

The Braves can’t buy a win on the road right now.  When everything goes right, something bigger seems to go wrong.  As of now, the Braves have the worse road record in baseball; a paltry 5-15.  With a record like that, it’s surprising that they are still anywhere near the front of the division.  Only by having the best home record in baseball are we still within 4 games of the division lead.

Tom Glavine’s heading to the hill tonight, hoping that the veteran presence can try to get a road win on the record and keep the road record above .250 for the season.  Mark Teixeira, after missing the last two games with back spasms, was a late addition to the lineup for the day.  It’s not clear if he’ll play the whole game, but he’ll be making the start to try and give some normalcy back to an injury-laden lineup.
