David Horne

I am a former high school athletic director, an award-winning writer, co-author and co-creator of the Sports by the Numbers book series, and a doctoral student at the University of Oklahoma. I am also a die-hard baseball fan who strongly believes Roger Maris belongs in the Hall of Fame and The Sandlot is the greatest movie of all time. If I could start life over, I'd either be a left-handed relief pitcher or Annika Sorenstam's caddie. Since that's not going to happen, if anyone out there can hook me up I'd love to be the Braves bullpen catcher.

Atlanta won its sixth consecutive game yesterday, 6-3 vs. Washington in ten innings. It was the Braves tenth consecutive win on the road and it gave the club three straight road sweeps.

Not bad at all.
Only problem is the Braves return home today and face a must-win situation vs. Florida. If Atlanta doesn't make it seven straight wins, the reality is the first six won't matter for much - that's because Colorado and Philly held on yesterday for one-run victories, moving the Braves that much closer to elimination.
The Braves are five back of Philly with seven games left on the schedule and…

Atlanta won its fifth consecutive game last night. The 11-5 victory vs. Washington was also the Braves ninth straight road victory. "It's getting to be a lot more fun. I think we're pretty good right now," said Bobby Cox. Tommy Hanson is pretty good right now, too. The rookie improved to 11-4 after pitching seven strong innings - and he's only been with the club since the end of June.

It's been 15 years since Atlanta won ten straight road games, but that's exactly what the Braves need today. A victory would mean back-to-back-to-back road sweeps for Atlanta - St. Louis, New York, and…

The Braves 4-1 victory vs. Washington last night was the club's fourth consecutive win and it was also the fourth consecutive winning start for pitcher Javier Vazquez, who pitched a complete game three-hitter. Atlanta is still six games back of Philly and 3.5 games back of Colorado, but the Braves refuse to quit.
Colorado got a huge performance from Aaron Cook last night and the Rockies got a 2-1 walk-off win vs. St. Louis. Bobby Cox said of the Cardinals, "They need to beat those mountain boys up a little bit."
No kidding.
With just nine games left on the schedule, the Braves can ill…
