Game 55
by rlgv on May.30, 2008, under Recaps
The Braves lost on the road. The Braves lost a one run game. The Braves lost in extra innings. What’s next? Will I learn the sun rises in the east? The sky is blue? A frog’s behind is, in fact, water tight? This whole thing is getting pretty old.
Glavine pitched an outstanding game and has nothing to show for it. That seems to be happening a lot to him as well. Glav went 6 innings, only giving up five hits and two runs while striking out five. Again, that should be enough for a “W” almost every time. Ohman was great. He pitched 1.2 innings only giving up a run. Acosta was also great, going 1.1 perfect innings. Bennett, did a great job too. One perfect inning. Ring, who probably won’t be around much longer, pitched to three batters, didn’t get any out and allowed the winning run to cross.
Part of the reason for the loss, Chipper and Tex were a combined 0 – 9. Heart of the order just didn’t get it done tonight. KJ had another good night with two hits and a run. McCann is now officially the hottest hitter on the team. He had two hits, one for a double. We really need to take the next two.
Braves lose, 2 – 3 in extras.
Tomorrow’s game, 3:00 on FOX.
