Thank you Bravos, now if you could do that just every game.... (just playing). It was a great game and an indeed nailbiter. Tomorrow will be Cy young winner John Smoltz vrs. former 2003 world series pitcher Brad Penny. I will do an inning report of each game I can, and ABF will do a mid game report every game he can, and go bravos will do an end game report. Now who's going to win tomorrow?????? I'll give a hint. Starts with a "b" and ends with an "s".

I'll try to do a mid-game report as much as I can. I'll like at the thread I created last year for the season and see what format we used.

[Francoeurstein]

Ok, I'll try to find it.

I'm all in guys!!! BASEBALL IS BACK!!!

You all might find this interesting they have named the players on the Braves minor league roster.
Just a hunch but it looks like Richmond is going to be a tough team to beat.

Good way to start a season... 112 wins to go (I'm counting the playoffs in too

[grizzly451]

A couple more showing like that from the bullpen and I'd bet Devine will be back in the majors very quickly.

Hudson sure lost it pretty quickly too, but man those guys from the bullpen...its really good to see the offense starting off hot.

A win is a win, but boy that was an ugly win (least for the bullpen).

Ken Rosenthal says that it is too early to blast the Braves bullpen: http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/5470778

I was checking out the minor league roster and who do I see but DAMIAN MOSS in Triple-A. When did he come back to the Braves?

If I remember correctly after he was traded, after a brief good showing, Moss did so badly he was cut loose and Braves just rounded him up again late last year (I think).

Yea, Salty should be in AAA. I wonder how Pratt will cope this season in ATL. By next year he will be a free-agent so then we can callup Salty to be a back up catcher and play about 65-80 games and hit 8-15 homers.

But Villarreal, ( however you spell it ) showed some stardom yesterday and in the Mexican world baseball classic. Maybe he can pitch somewhere around 60-70 innings this year and have some good performances, I'm watching this guy.
