"Hello. Do you know us? We're a major league baseball team."

With Chipper Jones back in the lineup, the Braves finally broke their 5-game losing streak and beat the Pirates 11-1. The Braves are 6-1 with Chipper in the lineup and 0-5 when he does not play. Javier Vasquez started for the Braves and was brilliant, throwing 6 shutout innings. The bullpen was good also, giving up one run in 3 innings of work. Jordan Schafer had 3 hits and Martin Prado, Jeff Francouer, and David Ross each had three RBI. The Braves go to Washington on Monday to play the Nationals. Derek Lowe gets the start for Atlanta.

Brownsburg's baseball team hosts Noblesville today, but it's still raining and the game may get moved to another date.

Chipper, I need your help on my fantasy team.

As I recall HCC rules require make ups on the next available date which would be Wednesday since they play @ Noblesvile on Tuesday. BHS has no games on Thur or Wed so it's OK.
