A little offense, but no bullpen...again

The Braves continued their downward spiral into oblivion with a 7-3 loss to the Mets last night. Leading 3-2 after seven innings, behind a 2-run, 6 inning performance by Jo Jo Reyes, the bullpen gave up 5 runs in the 8th to give the game away. Jeff Bennett took the loss and Will Ohman got a blown save for their efforts. Yunel Escobar, Chipper Jones, Omar Infante, and Martin Prado each had 2 hits. Jones extended his hitting streak to 10 games since coming off of the DL. The teams play at 710p tonight. Jair Jurrjens will face Mike Pelfrey. Both pitchers are 11-8 with ERAs under 4.00, so it should be a pretty decent game.

The Jeffersonville little league team was eliminated from the LLWS yesterday. The team was 0-3 in pool play. Watch out for these guys about 3-4 years from now as they could make a run to the Indiana high school state championship.
