Braves will be retiring Bobby Cox jersey before the first game of this series at 6:30.

Never had a dominate closer during the 14 straight division titles. Had we had a closer like Hoffman, Rivera or Wagner back then, we'd have won more than 1 WS.

I just finished up setting up the production in the room that is going to host the Bobby Cox retirement gathering. It should be a good show for the ones that attend.

Tomorrow is going to be a special day!

Thanks Bobby!

Let's keep it going!

Uggla is like a force of nature right now! Keep it going Dan! 32 games is an Atlanta braves record. The Franchise record is Boston Braves player Tommy Holmes who hit in 37 straight in 1945. Dan is also now tied for the 23rd longest streak in MLB history. Very impressive.

Very nice win tonight. Get some rest, and come back at them tomorrow.

Imma put myself our there and say that Dan is gonna break Dimagio's record, put it on a pad and paper if u wanna.

My friend, you have put it out there into the Cosmos. It can never be erased. I'd love to see it, but I give it about a 5% chance of happening. I'm not sure that record will ever be broken. But the more he pushes it, the better his odds. And the deeper he goes into the record books for longevity of a hitting streak.
I'll bet the high he is on right now rivals the low he felt the first half of the season when he was slumping so badly. I am really happy for him. This is what he needed to make the rest of his time in Atlanta more relaxing and comfortable. He probably is now able to completely put the slump out of his mind. Very important for his future.

Great win last night and a very exciting game.

I hope we get a good outing by Lowe today. Go Braves!

Had a great time at the game last night. Couldn't have asked for a better game to attend, got the win, Minor pitched well, Uggla streak extended, 5 HRs hit by Braves.


Btw, Zambrano is a POS.

Lowe

33 games and counting! Way to go Dan! Now, let's get some runs.

Dan is amazing another Homerun, and to think we basically stole him from Florida, Marlins fans must be as red with fury as uggla is red on his hit streak lol

Great defensive play by Gonzalez!

Crappy loss. Lost ground today. Need to bounce back Sunday.

It went ugly fast! That tends to happen with Lowe during the 5th inning. We won't be able to risk starting him during the postseason.

McCann (oblique) could be activated Sunday. rotoworld.com
