M-Brave fans- Jordan Shafer just hit a HR

in his first at bat of his career. A la Will Clark.

Also, all three of the Braves players who have homered so far in this game (McCann, Francouer, Schafer) all played at Mississippi at some point or another

to hit 2187 homers this season. That might be a record, I'm not sure.

I'm hoping the Braves can just get better, win 85 or so games. It's all going to be about the pitching, as it usually is.

Now that the rotation has guys like Vazquez and Lowe that can eat innings I think that will help out alot. We had a make shift rotation for a good portion of the season last year and now we have a solid rotation with guys like Hanson and Reyes that can fill in if people get injured. Not to mention a possible Hudson return in August or September for a possible playoff push. I also like the speed in the lineup. Yunel, Johnson, and Schafer can all steal bases well. So far its a good start. I hope the Braves can finish 1st or 2nd in the east cuz I've got a bottle of rum riding on it.
