Post-game forum: Bullpen bliss
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Braves beat the Pirates 3-2 Wednesday night and once again their new relievers, Danys Baez and Bob Wickman, looked sharp. How does it feel to finally have a setup man and closer you trust? Is there time to salvage a playoff spot?
Starter Horacio Ramirez also pitched well.
But first baseman Adam LaRoche left the game with a hamstring injury. LaRoche homered twice in Atlanta’s 4-2 victory over the Pirates on Tuesday and has nine homers in 17 games since the All-Star break. How much would it hurt to have him out of the lineup?
What are your thoughts on the game?

Is 13 unlucky for Atlanta?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Sporting News has ranked Atlanta No. 13 on its list of best American sports cities. Thirteenth out of 99, and Athens is No. 62.
How do you rate Atlanta as a sports city? And what do you think makes a good one? Is it just how its teams perform, or does it include the atmosphere at games, the frenzy of the fans, and how much sports is the topic of conversation around town?
