U.S. Wins Wild One
The U.S. won on a wild game against Puerto Rico. I almost lost all hope
on them until the bases were loaded and we had Youk and Wright up to
bat. Once Youk walked, I knew Wright could get the run or runs we
needed. This may have been the first time I have ever cheered for a
Mets player to get a hit. Anyway, Congrats to the U.S. on the 6-5 win.
This was definitely a great game and it had a tremendous ending.
More to this post later.
Braves Beat Mets
Braves 5 Mets 1
The Braves won another Spring Training game behind the strong start of Jair Jurrjens and a Josh Anderson home run. JJ went 6 innings giving up 4 hits and no runs while striking out 6 and getting the Win. The Bullpen was strong again and gave up 1 run and 3 hits the rest of the game.
The offense was highlighted by Josh Anderson’s early 2 run shot. Hicks had a 2 run single and Prado added an RBI single. The Met’s were missing the majority of their starters because of the WBC, so the win wasn’t as big. It’s a win nevertheless and the Braves are in 1st place in the Grapefruit League.

Chipper Jones will not be playing in the Classic anymore this year and will rejoin the Braves sometime this week.
Gregor Blanco went 0-4 with a strikeout with Venezuela.
Other News
Phil Stockman got released from the Braves because of constant injuries, mainly from his back.
Garret Anderson is cleared to run again after suffering from a calf strain.
Parr, Marek, Redmond, and Luis Valdez were
optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett.
Francisley Bueno, Mariano Gomez, Phillip Britton, and Matt Kennelly were
re-assigned to Minor League camp.
Not to much going on, But I am keeping up with our Division
I know I haven’t been writing to much lately, but that is because of school. I probably won’t be blogging any during the next month, but I hope to get started again right before Spring Training comes around. Good thing that no big trades have been happening and the Yankees haven’t signed another big player. Once Manny and Dunn get signed, we will know who will be good and who will not. Anyways, I have been keeping up with the NL East. Here is all the signing, both Major League and Minor League.
