7/8: Braves Sweep, Deron Williams, etc.

Greetings all...

• The Braves get a rare 4-game sweep in disposing of the Rockies 6-3 on Thursday.... Freddie Freeman continued his torried hitting pace with another home run (a 3-run bomb), and Tim Hudson and company did enough to hold off an impotent Rockies lineup... on to Philly for a semi-crucial (it's only July) 3-game series before the break in which Philly trots out all 3 of their elite starters... best of luck...
• Deron Williams... to play in Turkey?... That's the report that is widely circulating... if reports prove true, he'd have an out to return to the NBA upon the conclusion of the lockout with no penalty, and if that's the case, I have no issue with it... the injury risk is there, but with insurance, it's not as big of a deal as you might think...
  
• This just in... nobody cares about the Roger Clemens trial... or any other baseball steroids case that ever exists... thanks...

And sadly...

• A fan passed away at the Rangers/A's game in Arlington last night after suffering a 20-foot fall while trying to catch a ball thrown to him by Josh Hamilton... Just a woefully sad story across the board and my condolences to the family...

What to watch for on Friday...

• Braves @ Phillies - 7:05 SportSouth - Beachy vs. Halladay - The best in the business on the hill for the Phillies... never fun to witness
• Mets @ Giants - 10:05 MLB Network - Dickey vs. Vogelsong - This is especially interesting because Bob Costas and Al Michaels are calling the game together... that's just weird...

Enjoy...
