"I’m still going to continue to challenge him. I know he has success against me. F**k, he’s Ryan Braun, he has success against a lot of guys, you know?"
- Braves starter Tommy Hanson after Thursday's 4-2 loss to Milwaukee
Yes, indeed.

Earnhardt Comes Oh So Close
Surprisingly, another exciting finish of the roundy-rounds yesterday. I don't know, if I hadn't won in 99 races, I probably would've punted the 29 like a football.
I recently got into a discussion with a Gordon fan that absolutely hates Dale Jr. for no particular reason other than who his father was. My reply was, rather sarcastically, that it's easy to hate a driver that is humble, takes blame, rarely whines,and is respectful.
Just look at yesterday. He got the front end in on Busch's rear panel & nudged him out of the way. Then apologized immediately after getting out of the car. He had the opportunity to do the same to Harvick & decided he didn't want to be that guy.
It's a shame the man is measured in wins & sleeps in his daddy's shadow, because he really is one of the great ambassador's of the sport. I have a feeling he's going to be twice the owner he could ever be as a driver.

Crew falls 2-1, Open up at 0-4
Well, that's not the best start to a season... On the other hand, if it was mid-May, it'd be a mini losing streak & no big deal. The season is so insanely long, there's plenty of time to change your fortunes.
I read that Saito had given up only 19 homers in 300 career innings & never 2 in one game, which tells me today's tough loss was another outlier (along with Marcum's 5 walks) & shouldn't be indicative of future performance.
On a positive note, could Rickie Weeks be any hotter to start a season? Goodness gracious, the ball must look like a cantaloupe.
Just remember, if we keep giving up 2 runs a game, we'll win well more than we'll lose. Patience, fellow Crewers, it's a long season.
