A Sweep

The Braves did it. They have swept the Phillies and are now onto Washington. Unbeleivable 3 days for the Braves, starting 5 games behind and now they are only 2 games out. How? Well the pitching has been great and they are getting timely hitting. Has Martin Prado turned the Braves around with his clutch hitting? I think he has been the biggest offensive reason for the sweep of the Phillies, so what was Bobby Cox waiting for to make him the everyday second baseman. I have been saying for a while now that Prado should be starting. The Braves must keep their foot on the pedal and not take Washington lightly. There is still alot of work ahead for the Braves and a 7 game winning streak or 2 series sweeps in a row would be a great start.

2 down 1 to go

Well the Braves are two thirds the way of a sweep against the Phillies. Jair Jurrjens was dominate last night and really has been great all year despite his win loss record. Martin Prado is showing why so many fans wanted him to be a starter instead of Kelly Johnson. Tonight the Braves throw Javier Vazquez at the Phillies. Vazquez has been great all year. Lets hope the Braves bats have something left tonight after scoring 11 runs last night
