Welcome back, Tommy!

To be honest, I am still recuperating from Wake Forest’s loss.  Sadly enough, there are the Duke of this year, being the highly touted team to drop in the first round.  But how far will Cleveland State go?

Braves 12, Mets 1

Today, Tom Glavine made his first start since undergoing surgery, and man, was he brilliant against the Mets!  You can’t ask for more than 3 shutout innings from the pitcher that will most likely round out the Braves rotation.  Could the news get any better?  He gave up only 2 hits.  On the other hand, John Maine struggled, giving up 5 earned runs in just four innings, 3 of which Jeff Francouer manufactured.  It is encouraging to see the Braves do so well against division rivals; one could argue that they are missing some of their top sluggers, but so are the Braves.  Josh Anderson contuinued his productive Spring with 3 RBIs of his own, continuing to make a very strong case for leadoff hitter.  So far, so good for the Bravos.
