Chipper Hits 399 in Braves Win

Greg Norton was the hero last night in the Braves 5-4 win over Florida. Dan Uggla slugged two homers, but it was an 8th inning rallied started by Chipper and finished by Greg Norton that sunk the Fish.

Chipper hit his 399th homer of his Hall of Fame career last night in the 1st inning. We are into June and he is still hitting over .400.

At this point, the Braves have the best home record in baseball and the worst road record in baseball. Weird.

John Smoltz was not brought out for the save opportunity last night after complaining of pain Monday. Rafael Soriano closed the deal for Atlanta last night. In other pitching news, Mike Hampton...never mind.

Off to Great Grandma's with the girls - several articles in the works that will be up today and tomorrow. I'm working out the summer kinks right now (i.e. when to write without a 45-minute free period in the morning) and am thinking about some major overhauls of the site. Stay tuned.
