The entire division won except for Washington. We could really use some help from the Yankees and Minnesota this weekend.

J-Hey continues to strikeout.

My little nugget on this game, I went to Middle school( Conway Middle Orlando) and first year of high school( Boone High Orlando) with Greinke. I knew this kid would either be a basketball player or baseball player. Growing up Greinke was a very good basketball player and excellent baseball player. After our freshman yr, Greinke left Boone High for Apopka High(Warren Sapp alma matter).
After he graduated in 2002 he was signed by the Royals and went straight into their minor league system.

Being a Braves fan and having known Greinke for four yrs, I wish somehow the Braves could trade for him, I hate seeing him on one of the worst teams in MLB. Although I was glad to see him win the Cy Young award.

Thanks for sharing.

I wanted Zack Greinke to win the CY last season, but it's been a difficult year for him, and I hope he bounces back.

I know your not the only Braves fan in Orlando, so maybe we get more of them on this board during the near future.

Troy Glaus with the game winning homerun and Billy Wagner won his 5th game. We really need this win tonight because Minny beat Philly, and the Yankees beat the Mets.

Kawakami is garbage ! Today vs Royals, the Braves jump out to an early 4-0 lead, then an inning later Kawakami allows 2 runs, and in the 3rd two runs. This guy is crap, he didn't finish the 3rd inn, don't know if injury or Bobby took him out. You give him 4 runs of support in the first inning and he gives it back to the other team. Game is now tied at 4 in the 3rd.

When Jurrjens comes back, I hope Bobby sends Kawakami to the bullpen and leave Medlen the 5th starter.

Playing from behind now. Kenshin Kawakami pitched 2 innings and was rocked, nothing new there!

Cristhian Martínez also looks like he's going to shaky and he probably pitches two more innings. Could get ugly.

Braves come back to win, win series vs Royals. Hinske hit a 2 run dbl to give the Braves the lead in the 8th inning.
