As I’m talking right now the Braves are beating up the Mets 7-1 in the
bottom of the seventh inning, actually that game is over by the same score. Fernando Nieve was injured and had to
leave the game because he strained his quad, and Tim Redding gives up
another home run against Yunel Escobar, his second home run in as many
games. Javier Vazquez is pitching like an ace despite his losing record
of (6-7) and a ERA of 2.95 coming into tonight’s game.

The Braves have hit six home runs in this series. Two by Yunel Escobar, one by Chipper Jones, one by Garret Anderson, one by Brian McCann, and one by Martin Prado.  What a powerpack for the Braves to hit all those home
runs.

Chipper Jones continues to impress, as he went deep yesterday off Pedro Feliciano of the Mets.

Here’s some screenshots from that game by mlb.com

The Mets won that game 5-1. It was a pitcher’s duel between Johan
Santana and Kenshin Kawakami. Even though the Mets didn’t homered, they
won, a suicide squeeze by Luis Castillo to drive in Angel Pagan, with
one of the three innings the Mets scored in the ninth inning. Angel
Pagan hit a RBI triple in the ninth inning as well to bring in Alex
Cora. Jeff Francoeur hits a single to score Daniel Murphy.

Besides that, it was all Atlanta Braves in this series.
The tomahawk chop now has the right to bash the Mets after this game is over and the series is over.

That is it for now. I hope everyone had a fun weekend.
