In other football news, the Raiders traded Randy Moss to the New England Patriots for a fourth round pick. Ouch!
The Braves are having flashbacks of last year's unreliable relief pitching after Bob Wickmanblew another save, his second in three tries as the Braves lost 9-7 to the Colorado Rockies on Sunday. The game saw an unassisted triple play by the Colorado Rockies Troy Tulowitzki, the first since then Atlanta Brave, Rafael Furcal had one in 2003. The Braves head home for a three game series against the Philadelphia Phillies. Tim Hudson (3-0) will take the mound against Jon Lieber (1-0). The game starts at 7:05 PM/est on SS.
Braves Notes: Following a tough loss, Ryan Langerhans was notified that he had been traded to the Oakland A's for cash or a player to be named later. Langerhans hit a double in his final start with the Braves on Sunday.
The St. Louis Cardinals' Sunday game against the Chicago Cubs was postponed after Cardinals' relief picther Josh Hancock was killed in an auto accident Sunday morning. He was only 29. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Josh's family, friends, teammates and fans.
Jeff Gordon is on fire. After claiming his first ever pole at Talladega, Gordon finished the race in where he started, first. This was Gordon's second straight win and more importantly, his 77th win, surpassing the late Dale Earnhardt on what would have been his 56th birthday. The race was relatively calm, well by Talladega standards, but a late race caution led to a three lap shout out (or overdrive as Fox has coined it). Gordon and crew barely got to race when Elliott Sadler and Greg Biffle got into each other ending the race on lap 190. Tony Stewart, Jamie McMurray and David Gilliland also managed to crash into each other at about the same time.
