Hello loyal readers. Sorry for the delay in postings as both Lee and I were away from the internet for most of the weekend.
Let's get right to the weekend's events. The Braves took the series from the Nats 2-1 but were unable to complete the sweep on Sunday.
Sunday's loss, though disappointing, was not what one would consider a bad loss. If you're going to lose a nail biter it's better to lose one when your starting pitcher leaves the game without recording an out. Glavine was forced to leave Sunday's game after throwing only 16 pitches. He is listed as day to day. Even though the Glavine forced the pen into 8 innings of service, the Braves were one clutch hit away from completing the sweep.
The bullpen pitched admirably Sunday, going 8 innings while only giving up 3 runs. Of particular interest was the Braves' debut of Jorge Campillo. Campillo pitched 2 hitless innings and looked impressive throughout his appearance. Campillo does not throw hard enough to break a pane of glass but he is fun to watch none the less. His bugs bunny like change-up had all 6 Nats he faced looking foolish.
Many of you have asked questions about Campillo and we will have a profile on him later today.
The Braves get a much needed day off on Monday before taking on the Fish Tuesday night.

Campillo did look awesome yesterday! Who is this guy and where did he come from? I've never heard of him, but I have feeling I'm going to enjoy watching him pitch this summer.
