Game Preview

The red-hot James looks to win his first three starts for the second consecutive year when the Braves open a two-game set with the Washington Nationals, but weather might spoil that plan.


Braves put Paronto on DL, send McBride to minors

McBride, who was expected to serve in a setup role out of the bullpen, walked 11 batters in his first three innings of work. He was sent to Triple-A Richmond to work on his mechanics

James will own the Nats again but I doubt that we'll get this one in tonight. Chipper and Andruw really got hot towards the end of that homestand and if pitching stays hot this will be a good first month for us.

Lets see if Chuck can keep up his hot start.

The Jones' are starting to click which should ignite the rest of the offense.

Johnson should still not be the lead-off guy.

We've had our chances tonight for sure and it hurts that all three of their runs came after 2 outs and bases empty.

What a horrible game for us! Hopefully Smoltz can get us a win tomorrow with some help from our bats.

Horrible game, we had a chance to blow it wide open in the first and the 2nd.

I would have someone from another team be the lead-off guy for this team. Granted he played well today, going 4-5, but if he cannot keep his average above .275, he has no business being our lead-off guy.
