Game Notes...
- Strange game. One, the Braves won, which is pretty strange of late. Two, the Braves got pitching - also a bit odd. Three, Andruw Jones hit an opposite field homerun - very queer (context circa 1950's). Oh, and four, Chris Woodward had a hit and Edgar Renteria did not.
- The good pitching came from Chuck James...sorta. He looked a lot like last year's version of working into a big problem inning or two and then getting out of it, something he has lacked this year. He struck out eight and went six innings, easily major accomplishments for a pitcher on this staff not named Tim Hudson or John Smoltz.
- Yatesy...sucked again. But Rafael Soriano is a beast and even Blob Thickman had a good inning.
- Andruw's homer was very strange. He took a swing at a high fastball away and the thing just flew out. Somewhere, Joe Simpson had to change his shorts.
- Chipper missed yet another game. I have never heard of one other player missing games because his thumbs hurt, but that's Chipper for ya.
- Huge, big, monstrous win. With Smoltz and Huddy going in the other two games, Braves have a real shot of taking this road series. They need it. By the way, if my Milwaukee name is too vague of a reference, watch "Wayne's World." If it's not, watch "Wayne's World." In short, watch "Wayne's World."
