Good offense + Great pitching = Win

The Braves got ahead 6-0 and held on for a 9-3 victory over the Dodgers last night. Brian McCann had 2 solo home runs, Yunel Escobar had 3 RBI, and Mark Kotsay had 3 hits. Jair Jurrjens gave up 1 run in 6 innings. Will Ohman, Blaine Boyer, and Mike Gonzalez held the Dodgers scoreless from the bullpen. Newly acquired Julian Tavarez gave up one earned run in 1/3 of an inning. The rubber game of the series is tonight at 1010p. It should be a good pitching match up as Tim Hudson will be taking on Derek Lowe.

The Cubs traded for Rich Harden to keep pace with the Brewers signing of CC Sabathia.

Tony Stewart is going to be released from his contract with Joe Gibbs Racing.

Prep star Brandon Jennings is going to play in Europe instead of going to Arizona for a year before making the jump to the NBA. It just goes to show how stupid the NBA rule is. How does this help the kid?
