"Hopefully I'll fit in with those people as well as I have here," McLouth said. "There are so many different levels to the emotions that I'm feeling, but that's one of the things I'm looking forward to, is to have an immediate chance to be in the playoffs.

Smoltz Sounds Off on Braves Release of Glavine
"I'm using a very soft word in 'disappointed' because that ain't right," he said. "To go that far in your rehab, and then right before the time, to do that? Well, it's not my problem anymore, I just feel bad for a teammate of mine that I had for a long time."

Just How Good is the Braves Starting Pitching?
Yesterday, during the game, Joe said something that was interesting. He was talking about how weird it was to see Roger McDowell come out for a mound chat. This got me thinking about how good our starting pitching has been so far this year, especially our top 3 starters.
Here are some numbers to think about:
- Lowe: In 5 starts - 3.10 ERA, 29 IP, 38 GO
- Jurrjens: In 4 starts - 1.42 ERA, 25.1 IP, .293 SLG
- Vasquez: In 4 starts - 2.63 ERA, 24 IP, 34 K, 4.86 K/BB, 12.75 K/9
All three have 2-1 records so far. And all 3 rank among the leaders in many categories.
- In ERA: Jurrjens is 3rd in the NL, Vasquez is 14th, and Lowe is 18th
- Vasquez is 4th in the Major Leagues in K/9 and 6th in the NL in K/BB
- Derek Lowe is 3rd in the NL in GO
How are the top 3 starters from other NL East teams doing?
Mets top 3 in IP:
- Santana: In 4 starts - 0.70 ERA, 25.2 IP, 37 K, 6.17 K/BB
- Perez: In 4 starts - 9.31 ERA, 19.1 IP, 15 BB, 6.98 BB/9
- Hernandez: In 3 starts - 7.31 ERA, 16 IP, 12.38 H/9
Phillies top 3 in IP (excluding Park, who was in bullpen for one game):
- Myers: In 4 gms - 4.91 ERA, 25 IP, 1.48 WHIP, .592 SLG, 4.21 BB/9, 8 HR
- Moyer: In 4 games - 5.09 ERA, 23 IP,1.57 WHIP, 11.74 H/9
- Blanton: In 3 games - 7.31 ERA, 16 IP, 1.81 WHIP, 14.06 H/9
Marlins top 4 in IP:
- Johnson: In 4 games - 2.20 ERA, 28.2 IP, 0.91 WHIP, 5.80 K/BB
- Volstad: In 4 games - 2.70 ERA, 23.1 IP, 5.79 H/9
- Nolasco: In 4 games - 6.86 ERA, 21 IP, 1.67 WHIP, 12.43 H/9
- Sanchez: In 3 games - 2.50 ERA, 18 IP, 0.95 WHIP

Prospect Pulse: Talent of Heyward, Stanton Belie Their Youth
This is a really good article on Baseball america about Jason Heyward and Mike Stanton (Marlins).
"I think if you talk to anybody they would say it's a privilege, and I feel the same way about it," Heyward said. "It's a privilege to be able to play for your hometown team—it's an honor."

The Next Smoltz? Braves Eager to Show Off Hanson.
"I've watched Chipper play since I was a little kid," Hanson said, breaking into an embarrassed grin. "It's crazy hearing stuff like that from him. And Bobby Cox saying I have a Smoltz-like slider. It's just a good feeling. The work I've put in must be paying off. It's just kind of cool to hear those comments."
This is a nice story about Hanson.
