Myers Has Good Outing.... Phillies Still Get "BEAT"!!!

Major League Baseball's latest criminal, Brett Myers, had a very strong outing in his first start in Philly after hitting his wife. However, just like he loves his wife, it just wasn't enough.

In a game where both the Jones's were out and Marcus Giles (trade him)was playing, the Phillies still couldn't pull one out. The Braves overcame the Jones boys absence and won 5 to 1. Renteria had a homerun and added a double in the 9th to drive in the go ahead run. Jeff Francoeur then put the game away with a 3 run homer. This game showed me that the Braves actualy can win the wildcard. They received great starting pitching, had some clutch hits, overcame key absences and their new reliever Wickman looked strong in his first outing.

Chipper Jones will be out for a few more games it seems. This kind of lets Bobby Cox off the hook. He doesn't have to decide on how much Betemint will play. However, when Jones comes back Bobby is going to have to make a tough decision. Betemint or Giles...... Let's just hope Bobby makes the correct decision. GO BRAVES!
