A sweep, a streak, and .500

A real sweep (as opposed to the mini-sweep of the Mets two weeks ago), an actual winning streak of four games, and the Braves are back at .500. It would be nice if they would keep it up and then be over .500. Still having you're three best relievers (Gonzalez, Soriano, and Moylan) and four fifths of your starting rotation (Smoltz, Glavine, James, and Hampton) on the DL within the first 18 games of the season and still be only 2 games out of first and at .500 isn't bad. I expected issues out of the starting rotation, you don't put injury risk pitchers and older pitchers as your staff, but having bullpen injury issues wasn't expected.

We'll see how the next few weeks go.
