My team is experiencing an identity crisis of sorts.  They are apparently auditioning for a spot in the American League as that is the only thing I can think of to explain their rattling off 51 runs in their 4 games since the All-Star dud break.  The occasional double digit run game you expect, but 4 in a row? One of the most exciting things to watch in sports is a good come back from a team that is behind.  This year my Bravos found themselves needing that kind of comeback to salvage their season and it certainly looks like they are giving it their all.  This should inspire Shurholtz to make that move and shore up the bullpen.  With the way Wilson Bettimit was playing last night (he was 4 for 6 in what has been our ultra unproductive leadoff spot) I say trade Marcus Giles and Jorge Sosa (who is obviously on Cox's @#$@ list for his general apathy--I mean he got chewed out on the mound last night when we were up by more than 10 runs) for a veteran reliever who can come in a close games for us.

This just in.  According to Elias (via the Daily Quickie) The Braves are the first team ever to score 10-plus runs in four straight games against first-place teams.
