Now I have to find a good luck charm for each road trip game the Braves are on. Of course the same one may not work each time but it’s worth a shot.
As I mentioned yesterday, we have a chance of going 4-5 on the road if we can get a win tonight. Two series wins on the road? How the sweet the sound. Then we can forget all about Chicago and even that miserable series at home with the Philistines and move on to kicking the Mariners (25-47) while they’re down.
What I Like About You
Gonzo the prize fighter rocking back and forth on the mound as he saves it with a 1-2-3 ninth inning.
Reyes went 7 and gave up one earned run. Still didn’t get the win but another impressive start makes me say that if Hampton is ever healthy enough to pitch again, trade him to Japan, we’ve got a lefty, thanks.
Chipper maintains .400 for another day but more importantly, he hits #402. I can’t wait to see the MVP come back to Atlanta after a nine year absence.
And maybe we got the win after Frenchy reached on an error but we let the game get tied on an error and I’ll take a win any way I can.
Why Oh Why?
Mark Teixeira 8 for his last 39 after another hitless night. Look, I don’t want to turn into a pessimistic hater or anything but come on. The “slow start” is getting a little old.
Tonight
A win tonight=series win
Series win= 2 series wins on the road
2 series wins on the road= 4-5 record for the trip
Win tonight also =’s .500 record again and a trip back home for Mariners, Brewers and Phillies again.
Time to gain some ground.

We do need to ask ourselves if losing Saltalamachia was worth Tex for a season and a half. I’d argue that since we didn’t get to the postseason last year and won’t the way we’re looking now, it wasn’t worth a year and a half.
If we resign him, it’s a different story.

Yes but Salty’s not getting a ton of playing time in Texas (89 AB’s) hitting .236 3 HR’s and 14 RBI’s. So if it’s just a straight comparison between the two, Tex is at least giving us better production.
