Old Time Family Baseball

I’m pretty sure the Braves players hate Kenshin Kawakami. How else can you explain that he went another start without a victory despite 6.2 innings and 2 runs allowed?

It’s not like Paul Maholm was sharp for the Pirates as he gave up 10 hits and 3 walks in 6 innings with only two Braves crossing the plate. Once Kawakami was out of the game though, they exploded for three runs against Joel Hanrahan. The Braves just didn’t feel like doing any favors for Kawakami who must his time telling his teammates that they smell like shit and he could beat any of them in a game of squash with his eyes closed. (Note: This is all conjecture. I have no idea if Kawakami actually does this.)

Regardless of how the Braves choose to win, they’ve been doing it pretty regularly. They have now won 10 of 12 and are a half game behind the Phillies. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh has lost five in a row and are in danger of falling behind Houston.
