Not much good to report from the weekend series in Baltimore. But it could've been worse. We could've had Santana on the mound instead of Lowe. Santana got rocked for 9 earned runs in 3 innings against the Yanks yesterday... ouch. Lowe had a tough outing, and once again the Braves can't hit (especially against rookie pitchers!). It's time to right this ship!
In other news:
Visited Gwinnett for a AAA game for the first time Friday night. It was a great game, with several homeruns and 5-4 Braves win! If you haven't been, go check it out. The smaller park (I think it seats about 7,500) provides an awesome atmosphere for a ballgame. Pretty affordable ($12 seats).
Luke Hochevar pitched an awesome game for Kansas City, and deserves mentioning. Friday night he threw a complete game on just 80 pitches!!! He allowed 1 run on 3 hits.
When we have to find a replacement for #6... I vote on taking a good look at Trey Hillman, manager for the Royals now. He's done a pretty decent job with the talentless Royals. He does a weekly interview on XM HomePlate's Baseball This Morning and is really an impressive guy.
Kudo's to #6 for benching Escobar yesterday after an abysmal 2 innings of defense.
Finally, if you have not seen The Hangover, which opened last weekend, don't bother. Unless you actually enjoy sitting in a crowded theater for 2 hours laughing so hard it makes your abs hurt. It's comparable to Superbad, but I think much funnier (and I thought Superbad was hilarious).

between times of insanity, a lucid interval permits me to comment on the Braves, the Dawgs, and all things otherwise noteworthy
