Welcome Back

Braves Update:
After a late game on Sunday, the Braves traveled to San Francisco to begin their four game series. Even though they may have gotten little sleep, they sure didn't show it, scoring three runs in the first off of a Brian McCann double. John Smoltz held the Giants to just two runs while driving in a run of his own in the fourth. Barry Bonds went 1-3 with a single. Tim Hudson takes the mound against Matt Morris on Tuesday night. The game starts at 10:15 PM/est on TBS.

Games behind NY Mets in NL East: 3
Games above .500: 6
NL Wild Card Leader: San Diego Padres

News & Notes: Jon Lester made a triumphant return to the mound on Monday after battling cancer last year. He threw six innings, allowing only five hits and two runs in the Red Sox 6-2 win over the Cleveland Indians...NL rookie of the year contender, Hunter Pence, will be out for 4-6 weeks with a right wrist capsular sprain. To top it off, the Houston Astros lost 10-2 to the Los Angeles Dodgers to drop to 15 games below .500...NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has banned Michael Vick from attending Atlanta Falcons training camp, until the NFL completes its investigation into Vick's alledged involvement in a dog fighting ring. This actually makes it easier for Vick, who now doesn't have to decide between attending his court date or training camp...Finally, Drew Carey was announced as the new host of "The Price is Right" taking over for 35 year veteran, Bob Barker.

It's been fun blogging with you,
