After being swept by the defending division champions, the Philedelphia Phillies, the Braves find themselves between two rocks and a hard place. After tomorrow's off-day, the Braves find themselves leaving the Ted on a sour note, only to face some of the toughest teams in baseball-- the Cubs, the Angels, and the Rangers. I think we all know that this upcoming road trip would be a challenge for any team. But, given the Braves have won just seven of their previous 28 games outside of Atlanta, this could be a two-week stretch that defines the remainder of their season.
Regarding the upcoming road trip, Chipper says, "I don't know about everybody else, but I'm worried. I don't want to come back from this road trip and be out of the race. We're playing the Cubs in first place, the Angels in first place and the Rangers, who are pretty darn good. They're the best offensive team in the American League. It's not going to be easy. Some people in here better start picking it up."
You're right, Chipper. Learning how to catch a routine, infield fly ball would be starters.... [hint: Kelly Johnson]

Luke, maybe we should focus all our attention on the College World Series. Our UGA Bulldogs are on fire.
For the third time in the past five years, the Georgia Bulldogs are heading back to the College World Series. The seventh-ranked Bulldogs plated nine runs in the first inning and never looked back, crushing 15th-ranked N.C. State 17-8 to win the Athens Super Regional in front of 3,512 Sunday at Foley Field.

UGA has been pretty dang impressive. I have a feeling my GA Tech friend, James, will have something to say...
