The Series Cynic: Braves swat Nats
Braves win a three-game series over the Nationals...the last place Nationals that is.
Cynicism Lineup:
1. Troy Glaus
2. Yunel Escobar
3. Vuvuzelas
—Glaus, the National League player of the month for May, is batting .125 (6-for-48) since June 13 and was hitless in the series against the Nationals.
Once tabbed as the Braves’ unemployed, basement-dwelling uncle, Glaus has seemingly laid claim to that pullout sofa in the Atlanta clubhouse once again as his average has now dropped from .290 down to .261 in the last two-and-a-half weeks.
Troy needs to put down the TV dinner, take off the sweatpants and get back to hitting the baseball—how does a day off on Friday night sound?
