Quick Post

Sorry guys, but I'm actually heading out to Great Adventure of all places and I don't have a lot of time to post.

Braves Update:
The Braves entered the top of the ninth inning one run down. With the tying run on base, the Reds walked Mark Teixeira leaving it all up to Jeff Francoeur, who revals being in this position. Unfortunately for the Braves Frenchy got the final out in the Braves 8-7 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. The Braves will need to take the next two games in this series to keep in stride with the Mets in the NL East and the Phillies and Padres in the NL Wild Card. Catch all the action at 7:10 PM/est on SS.

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

Braves Notes: The Braves put Chuck James on the DL...The Braves released Tanyon Sturtze.

NASCAR Update:
Miracles do happen, and the Cup guys laid witness to that on Tuesday when they were able to get the entire 3M Perforamnce 400 race in after trying on Sunday and Monday. With a brief slow down due to fog, Kurt Busch found himself in Victory Lane for the second time in three races.
Race Results Points Standings

News & Notes: Sad news, former Minnesota T'Wolves player Eddie Griffin was killed when his SUV colliaded with a train. He was only 25...Only one other team on Tuesday was able to match the number of RBIs Garrett Anderson put up in the Angels game against the Yankees, 10, in the Angels 18-9 win over the Bronx Bombers...The Braves wished they were able to accomplish what the Mets did on Tuesday when they scored two runs off of super saver Trevor Hoffman in their 7-6 win over the San Diego Padres. Also, did anyone else think it looked like was snowing during that game?...And finally, I bet Tiki's thinking, thank goodness I retired, especially after making his comments during halftime of Football Night in America on NBC. Eli responded, but one thing is for sure, Eli needs to step up if the Giants have any hope of winning like seven games, ok eight, this season.

It's been fun blogging with you,
