Bittersweet Baseball...

Tonight, I watched the Atlanta Braves lose in extra innings. But that wasn't the worst part of the night. I learned that before the game tonight, general manager Frank Wren announced that the organization had released 305 game winner and Braves legend Tom Glavine. The Braves already declined to re-sign pitcher John Smoltz before the season started. Wren said that the organization felt that it had a better chance to win with younger pitchers. Even though Glavine pitched six shutout innings of baseball last night.

The only good thing that came today was that the Braves traded three top prospects for the Pittsburgh Pirates all-star outfielder Nate McLouth. He will most likely serve as the everyday centerfielder after a lack of production from rookie Jordan Schaeffer.
