The Roof Is Open; We Can Win
Written by Jonathan on May 29, 2008 – 1:06 pmThe Brewers have opened the roof of their stadium for the first time this season. Maybe that’s the change that the Braves need to get some runs on the board and to chalk up the first win of this road series. The Braves are now .250 on the road with a 6-18 record. If we keep that up, we can kiss any chance of the playoffs goodbye. Jorge Campillo taking the mound for the Braves; I hope his blisters are better. Let’s Go Braves!

I agree with what Travis said earlier. I think Javy would have been a better back up catcher. Corky has yet to impress me.

By Jonathan on May 29, 2008 | Reply
Corky was third on my list behind Javy and Pena…..somehow we ended up with him though.
By Travis on May 29, 2008 | Reply
i didnt even like corky miller last year when he played for the braves i would rather the braves bring Clint sammons up from the minors to be backup cather instead of miller
By Cameron on May 29, 2008 | Reply
Ya Pena seemed like a much better choice cuz hes a switch hitter who is also decent behind the dish
By Hamptonstronglyinhales on May 29, 2008 | Reply
Sammons isn’t much better, at least Pena could hit . I wonder why they designated him.
