Gnats 2, Braves 1

Game Notes...

- I did not pay attention much to this game. Had some family over and played baseball with my nephew and a few of my nieces (oddly, I hit LH, which I never remember doing). Beyond that, the season finale of How I Met Your Mother was on at 8:00 while 24 was on at 9:00. And like yesterday, I was pretty damn happy I didn't watch the game via my sports network MASN.

- Don Sutton's on MASN and God, I am so happy we don't have to hear that old cracker every game. If I hear one more damn story about the Dodgers, I am going to kneecap the jerrycurl.

- Of course, the big news for the Braves was John Smoltz dislocating his right pinky. Thankfully, he did not break the finger or he would have missed a month or two and the Braves would be down to Tim Hudson and a bunch of guys. Kind of like last year when it was John Smoltz and a bunch of guys. That...did not...go well.

- Of course, the biggest news baseball-wise was Jason Effin Bergmann almost throwing a damn no hitter. Let me get this straight...against the Braves, Bergmann does his best Brandon Webb impression (1-1, 1.53 ERA against the Braves) and suddenly, the Braves can't do anything. Luckily, Brian McCann did his "I'm going to hit a homer off you" thing that he does so well or on ESPN, we would be hearing about his life story and all that jazz. God knows that would cut into whatever Derek Jeter is thinking about.

- Yatesy rocked again. I honestly have trouble finding a pitcher in this pen once Wickmoo returns that I do not like. Maybe Villy. I've always been kind of unimpressed by El Vulture.

- I miss Langer. I don't give a damn he whiffed on the suicide squeeze. He was my guy, man. I probably would have gone gay for him.

- I'm going to watch a lot of porn right now...Chasey Lain, make me forget about Langer.
