Can't win, even at home

The Braves were swept in their season home series with Philly last night, losing 4-3. Philly has won all 9 games played at Turner Field this year. You can't fault anybody for this loss. Mike Hampton was brilliant, pitching 7 innings and giving up only 2 earned runs. Two runs were unearned on errors by Josh Anderson and Chipper Jones. Julian Tavarez and Jeff Bennett threw scoreless innings of relief. The offense was well spread out as nobody had more than one hit or RBI. Casey Kotchman hit his first homer as a Brave and Kelly Johnson extended his hitting streak to 16 games. The Braves host the Mets tonight at 710p. Jo Jo Reyes will pitch for the Braves and Oliver Perez will pitch for the Mets.

The BSU/IU game still has IU as a 3-point favorite, however the over/under has moved to 61. That's a lot of points.....
