ATLANTA, GA - SEPTEMBER 23: Atlanta Braves owner Ted Turner shakes hands with former Atlanta Braves during a"Field of Dreams" ceremoney to commemorate the last regular season home game to be held at Fulton County Stadium in Atlanta, Ga 23 September. The stadium is scheduled to be torn down at the conclusion of this season. The Braves will move to Olympic Stadium next year.

It is pretty impressive that this far in the season, it took a lot to go wrong for them to lose a series by two small-margin losses like this. On Monday, of course, the pitching depth was essentially non-existant, resulting in JR Ritchie being left in the game too long and today the Braves might have had a better shot at coming back if it weren’t for some really egregious baserunning from Jorge Mateo. This is a good team folks and let’s hope for a good showing against that scary Dodgers team this weekend.
