Today's Starting Pitchers

J. Reyes Braves vs.  W. Williams Astros 0-1 W-L 5-12 8.20 ERA 5.14 6 SO 67 11 BB 36 5 HR 23 vs. Astros -- vs. Braves

Game Time: 7:35pm on

I am really liking this run scoring thing the team has going. Woody Williams, the pitcher we face tonight, his record is 5-and-12, and I wonder if that will be the score (in our favor of course). The way things have been going I wouldn't bet against it.

It was great to see all the new guys do so well last night. Tex looks like an imposing force in the batters box, Mahay looks like a grizzled old veteran, and Dotel looks like he was made for a Braves uniform.
