Braves vs. Brewskies Tonight
Written by Colin on June 23, 2008 – 7:31 pmThe Braves take on the Brewers of Milwaukee tonight with Jo-Jo Reyes on the mound. Jo-Jo is 1-2 with a 2.80 ERA over his past five starts. Join us for a little bit of discussion as we tune in to see if Jo-Jo can continue to show that patience with him is paying off. None of us could make it out to the ballpark tonight – laundry and business trips take priority – but we’ll be watching and commenting as we can.
Join in the discussion – Escobar is back in the lineup but Infante is still filling in for Chipper. Go Bravos!

Glad to hear you’re doing well. If you want to do the writeup, go for it. I can do it if I have to but I’m a bit crunched for time this evening.
B. Jones strikes out.
Buddy grounds out to first.
Blanco grounds out to second. That was fast.

Smitty, you’re crazy. I don’t even know what a 70′s TV cop-you turkey sounds like.
Walked away for a bit there – we’re still struggling to do anything against Sheets. To the 8th.
By Colin on Jun 23, 2008 | Reply
Down to the bottom of the 9th. This hasn’t been pretty.
