Braves strike for double digits, Mets get rocked!

If Willie Randolph thought the seat was hot after Tuesday's sweep, he must REALLY be uncomfortable RIGHT NOW as the Braves just battered his pitching staff for 11 runs in an 11-4 win over the Mets.
Chipper and Frency both went yard, lil tex seems to be heating up and Jair Jurrjens was ON his game last night.
Frenchy, after getting his day-off went ballistic with a 2-run HR, 1B, 3B, 1 run and 4 RBI. That's nice. BMac his buddy had another big double. And tex seems to finally be heating it up. (Hmmmmmm wonder what he would have done if he had taken spring training seriously????)

Jurrjens is now 4-0 at home. Can't say THAT enough.

Final point that needs to be addressed though: Men left on base. Against a pitcher like Johan Santana like they will face today, they will NEED EVERY RUN THEY CAN MUSTER. He is too good to leave that many runners on base. The Braves really need to take advantage of their OPPs because who know when those will dry up.

PS, if someone could tell me what a duck on the pond in the water is....I'd appreciate that.
Thanks
