Nationally televised Wednesday night game on ESPN and we've got our douchebags on parade. Brett Myers and Ryan Howard stole the show last night. Yes, Chipper Jones may have more hits than at bats (is that possible?) and Tom Glavine won his 900th game, but Myers and Howard captivated the audience   more...

There are some bargains here. Chuck James and Brian McCann are set to make $327,000 and $333,000, respectively, but then there are Mike Hampton and Bob Wickman. Those two will combine for over 20% of the team's $80 million salary. OUCH! The braves are an interesting team. Plenty of young talent to   more...

Ouch, the Braves just got tomahawk chopped by Pittsburgh, losing 3 of 4 along the rivers. But the way the season is going for the Braves, this really isn't a surprise. Sure, the Pirates suck, but the Braves have now only won 5 games away from Turner Field, compared to 14 losses. Luckily, this   more...

So even thought I've been holding it off for so long I finally found the right time to do it so let's start out with the twisted N.L East. So i'm gonna break this down from the best team to the worst teams.1.PhilliesThis is a really good team with a awesome offense and a pretty good defense.They   more...

The Braves offense is GREAT right now...I mean, we've scored 49 runs in the last 4 games and our line-up doesn't seem to have a weak point (barring last night's ankle sprain by Renteria). But my point is, offense isn't the problem...we can hit the ball, but apparently, so can our opponents b/c our   more...

Phillies 1st baseman Ryan Howard struck out 4 times and was 1-2 in the count in the 10th before singling to centerfield to drive in the winning run. Starter Kyle Kendrick threw 1 run, 6 hit ball for 6 innings while striking out 6, the bullpen was again 1 single short of perfection over the last 4   more...

The Phillies wasted another fine pitching performance by rookie Kyle Kendrick as their offense slumbered garnering but 5 hits while being issued 5 walks and reliever Brett Myers was touched for the two winning runs in the 9th inning as Florida edged the Phils by a 4-2 score.

The Baseball Lab presents a real-life example of how to go about deciding who to keep for next years fantasy draft. Is Alfonso Soriano too expensive at $42 and Ian Snell worth a gamble on? The perfect keeper list is one that balances value with superstar power, here's a look at how to create one.

Leo Mazzone or the Braves organization? Is there ever a concern that the Braves won't have enough quality arms? Check out the Spring stats. If all of the Orioles pitchers dissapoint once again and the Braves pitchers exceed expectations, I think we're going to see some of the luster come off of the   more...

On Wednesday night the Braves hit 3 longballs off struggling righty Brett Myers; last night was an entirely different story. Cole Hamels, the true staff ace, shutdown the Braves for his first career shutout, spreading 4 hits and 2 walks over 9 frames with 6 k's lowering his era to 2.89. On the   more...

This offseason I've broken down and offered my opinion on the NL East outfields and infields so far, and the Phils have naturally won each of the polls. Now it's time to check out the rotations. However, with the Mets addition of some dude named Johan, this is merely for formality.*Career won/loss   more...

James made his first start of the season today against the Devil Rays. He used 111 pitches to go 8 innings, give up 3 hits and 1 ER. A WHIP under 1.0 and 8Ks for the game are a nice sign of things to come.

Phillies' young All Star Cole Hamels and Atlanta's Chuck James each gave up 4 runs in the 1st inning before they both recovered to battle each other for the next 5 innings, neither giving up another hit for the duration of their outing, before Hamels narrowly won the battle of lefties on points as   more...
