Braves! Braves! Braves!

Hello,

Last night the Braves were down 4-0 to the San Francisco Giants and I thought the game was over. That would have made all 4 series 2-0. However Atlanta forged a gutty comeback to tie the game at 4 and forcing the game to go into extra innings. Then in the 11th inning former pitcher, current outfielder Rick Ankiel came up. He hit a towering blast that landed in McCovey Cove that gave Atlanta a 5-4 lead. Kyle Farnsworth came in and pitched the final 1 2/3rds innings for the win.

I looked for video of Ankiel's blast, but there isn't any quality video available yet.

Atlanta now goes back to Turner Field tied at 1 victory a piece. Game 3 is Sunday at 2:37pm. This series is tied at 1, but the other 3 series seem like they are going to end quickly. I think New York and Philadelphia will close out their series in Game 3. The only other series I see being close is Tampa Bay-Texas. Texas did got into Tampa Bay and win the first two games. However the Rays are a battle tested, playoff proven team. They have the fortitude to come back and win or at least make this series a lot more interesting.
