Top of the third now with the Braves leading 3-0. Chipper just made an extremely impressive play diving to his left, spinning and making the throw to first. It didn't matter, though, because Drew Stubbs was running.

Scoring summary: Chipper walked with two outs in the first, McCann singled and Chipper advanced to third, and Hinske singled to drive in Chipper.

In the second, Freeman started the inning with a double, Gonzalez singled to put runners on first and third, Schafer bunted for a single which also scored Freeman from third and Prado singled to drive in Gonzalez.

Lowe walked four in three innings and didn't give up a run. That's hard to do.

McCann with a solo blast. 4-0 now. It's odd for us to score so many early runs.

Freeman with a solo shot of his own. 5-0.

Rolen is the exact look-alike to actor Kevin Spacey

We manage to score some runs and our pitching gives the lead away. Ugh. McCann just hit his second homer though. He's kinda awesome.

Lowe's probably #5 on the Braves starting pitching depth chart right now.

Wow. Dan Uggla has exactly one hit in the past seven days. A total of 15 for the month of May. I bet Frank Wren is gonna put a hit out on him here soon to avoid paying him the remainder of his contract.

I'm liking what Schafer has brought to the leadoff spot--speed, patience, and the ability to bunt. Right now, I feel better with him in the lineup than McLouth. This coming from someone who'd basically given up on Schafer.

And he plays really good defense. He made a catch at the wall in the left-center field gap the other day that I don't think McLouth would have come close to making.

Yeah, I gave up on Schafer too. One week isn't enough to make me a believer yet but he's heading in the right direction.
