The Atlanta Braves enjoy the confines of Turner Field this year. This is something that they could not say last year. Currently leading the majors with a 14 - 4 home stand record, the Atlanta Braves could be enjoying success if they could just figure out how to win on the road. With an almost identically backwards record on the road of 4 - 13, it does not take one long to figure why these guys are not on top. Soon, and very soon, they will figure it out and then and only then will teams fear the day that the Atlanta Braves come to town.

After last nights fall apart from what started out to be another great game with Mark Teixeira hitting his 5th home run into the left field bleachers. The Braves jumped out to a 2 - 0 lead that would seem to be enough until the 4th inning where Chuck James fell apart and gave up the lead.

Today, the Braves look to stop their sliding as they look to their new young phenom Jair Jurrjens who has been spectacular this year to say the least.

If you can't win on the road you won't win championships.

Another year of the changing of the old guard to the new. Besides the BoSox I think we'll see some surprise teams this year. That's what I'm rooting for. Frustrated Yanks fan. Feel your pain.

I think its still a bit early to pass judgment on teams. Last years defending national league champion Rockies didn't heat up until the last month of the season. The Braves are tearing the cover off of the ball offensively and they have some pitching woes.

Danny, I feel your pain man. Baseball is an awesome sport and how teams go really streaky is a mystery. Take for instance the Dodgers they had gone I think 8 for 10 and then lost 5 in a row. I think this season I might go bald if this trend continues.
