Chipper Jones Homers Twice for 2nd Straight Night!


Chipper Jones is on a tear and just when the Braves needed him. Lastnight against the Florida Marlins he has 2 homers and Smoltz pitched 5 Shutout innings to beat the Marlins 8-0. Mccann, Texiera, and Jones went back to back to back in the game.. Kelly Johnson also added a homer to give the Braves 5 total on the night..

Chipper again led the charge tonight with 2 more Homeruns giving him 6 on the young season, while leading the Atlanta Braves to a victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday Night. Jeff Bennett pitched well while filling in for the Injured Tom Glavine who was placed on the 15 day DL for the first time in his 22 year career.
This offensive surgence over the past few days has really come at the right time with the Braves already having 5 pitchers hit the DL this season.

Great game last night, I'd say. and Chipper is smoking!!!

Although we have James on the mound this afternoon if we can get a win tomorrow I'd be happy about April. Another chance w/ the Fish, Mets, and Nats before May.

Go Braves!

nice blog. Chipper has just been ridiculous. If he and Tex both get hot at the same time and Esco and K-JO can get on base, man, this team is going to score a lot of runs.
