April 11, 200719 yr Author Braves win 8-0 over the Nationals tonight. Tim Hudson pitched very strong for the Braves and so far he is having a great year. In both of his outings he has not given up a hit until at least the 5th inning. Tonight he pitched 7 innings allowing 2 hits and no runs. The Braves had homeruns from Andruw Jones, a solo shot, and Jeff Francouer, a two-run shot(I think). Braves face the Nationals again tomorrow with Chuck James pitching for the Braves. Atlanta moves to 6-1 for the season and will look to win their 3rd straight series of the season.
April 12, 200719 yr Author Braves are baeting the Nationals 5-1 so far with the game in the top of the 8th. Chipper Jones hit his first homerun of the season, a 2 run shot. In the bottom of the 7th Andruw Jones hit a 3 run homerun to put the Braves up 5-0. Chuck James pitched 6 innings gave up 5 hits and had 5 strikeouts. If it holds up the Braves will move to 7-1 and if the Mets lose the Braves will be in sole posession of 1st place.
April 12, 200719 yr Chop. I love the Braves. Where is Dale Murphy, Mark Lemke, and Jeff Blauser when you need them. Cox my man, getting the young bucks going early.
April 12, 200719 yr The Braves are playing pretty good so far this season... They're off to their best start ever at 7-1.
April 12, 200719 yr They're off to their best start ever at 7-1. Are you sure that's their best start ever? I'm pretty sure they won their 1st 13 games one year, and the reason I'm prety confident of it is because the last two or three wins of that streak came against the Reds.

April 12, 200719 yr Hampton has been injury proned...how much are the Braves paying him? His pay is almost 15 million but I'm pretty sure the Rockies pickup 10 million of that.......
April 12, 200719 yr Author His pay is almost 15 million but I'm pretty sure the Rockies pickup 10 million of that....... The Braves actually are paying his contract now but with his injury his insurance will pay most of what he is due this year!
April 15, 200719 yr Author Braves come on strong once again when Tim Hudson is pitching. After a couple of below average years of Tim Hudson he changed his offseason workouts and worked on his split finger fastball and has become the dominant pitcher the Braves traded for. He pitched 7 innings allowing 6 hits 1 run 4 walks and 4 strikeouts. The 1 run he allowed came in the first when Hanley Ramirez singled, stole second, advanced to 3rd on an infield single and scored on a double play. The wheels started coming off for Marlins pitcher Scott Olsen in the 3rd inning when he walked Tim Hudsn to put runners on 1st and 2nd. He then walked Kelly Johnson and Edgar Renteria followed by hitting a run scoring single and Tim Hudson scored on an error by Miguel Olivo. Chipper Jones then hit a 3 run homerun and the next time up Andruw Jones hit a 2 run homerun. Braves are 8-3 on the season and will travel to Washington to take on the Nationals with Chuck James (2-0 0.82era) pitching for the Braves and Williams (0-2 4.91) going for the Nationals.
