Pregame:
Tonight I suspect the Braves will use Chuck James, Oscar Villareal, and Chris Reitsma out of the bullpen if needed. The Braves send John Smoltz to the mound, they hope he can give them 7-8 strong innings, so the bullpen is not worked much after the working it got yesterday. I suspect Matt Diaz could get the start in LF.If not tonight ,tomoorow night.

Brad Penny can be tough ,then again so can Smoltz. But with saying that, remember Smoltz's 1st start last year.

Oil up your baseball glove, fix some sandwiches, get a blanket and cuddle up with someone you love (gonna be a late one ), and Watch the Braves play The Dodgers tonight on Turner South and FSN West(Vin Sculley) 10:00 EST. Can't wait to hear and see Don, Pete, Skip, Joe, Chip and Ron, and Mark the voices of the braves.

2 wins would be a great way to start the year.:gt

I'll only do this for the first inning every other inning I'll give a brief description. Smoltz is as rusty as aluminum in the rain for a year ( sorry for the bad similie ).

I'll say Smoltz needs to move to his fastball a little more.
As it stands in the top of the 2nd, it's 4-0 Dodgers :noidea

[Go Bravos!!!#1]

4-1 Good bye Baseball BRIAN MCCANN!!!

[Francoeurstein]

McCann!!! That says ROY all over it.

[Atlanta Braves Freak]

Top of the 2nd: Braves down 4-1 and Brian McCann just hit a solo shot. Smoltz gave up a homer to J.D. Drew in the Bottom of the 1st. Hopefully, when I post again the outlook will be better.

[Atlanta Braves Freak]

Seems like all three of us posted around the same time.

[Francoeurstein]

Giles is a frickin' doubles machine, lets give our hope to Renteria now.

[Francoeurstein]

Crap, how depressing, a delay.

[Francoeurstein]

Lets talk about Smoltz if you heard Sutton he said that he is always rusty in the first inning of his first start. I coincidence... A bad one. He's probably only gonna play 4 innings then James will probably come in following him will be Villarreal and Davies. Hopefully We'll come back.

Here comes that rainy day feelin again...
