  All I can say is thank you sweet little baby Jesus. Honestly I didn’t want JJ starting his last one or this one, he’s 45 innings over his previous season high. No reason to go out and risk it, nothings on the line for JJ - so why not have...

  That’s the Braves record in September as they head out on the road for the final six games of the 2008 season. Breaking even on the road trip, would make the Braves September record 13-11. Making it only the second month in the season where the...
