Chipper Jones was 3-6 today with a three run homer, a 2RBI single, a double, a run scored. The guy had a bit of a down week this week as he ONLY hit .389 with only ONE home run since Wednesday.
WOW
If he stays healthy, you can really start to talk about MVP. He is just ALWAYS coming through these days. WOW. It is more of a surprise when he DOESN'T get a hit now. He is a guy I really hope can overcome his recent injury history and with a good year this year and next, you might hear the talk of HALL OF FAME again with Chipper's name. He was seemingly a lock back in 2004, but then injuries started hitting him. Freak injuries, groin injuries (which led to the obligatory Hooter's joke), but last season WHEN HEALTHY, he was raking, and he's doing it again this season.
Stay healthy Chip!
And HEY GLAVINE, let's get a grip. Your team staked you to a 7 run lead after 3, let's try to go 5 innings so you can get your first win. Thank goodness Bennett closed the door on your 5th inning mess. Glavine, with Smoltzie out and Hampton, who knows, the Bravos will need you to step into the #2 spot. Jair is a great #3, but asking him to take over the 2-spot, might be a little too much.
(PS, I also hope Jair is the real deal and not Jorge Sosa part two. Fingers crossed)
Finally, I want to say Kotsay, you keep doing your thing man. You are a solid player and if the Braves don't try and resign you this off-season, I WILL be disappointed.
Braves Win Braves Win, take Monday to recover then welcome in the Pad Squad!
