The Atlanta Braves and Boston Red Sox both need wins on Monday evening, but given the space that we occupy, the focus will be on Fredi Gonzalez and his crew in front of a national television audience. Yes, ESPN will be carrying the festivities live from Fenway Park to begin a four-game series, and that brings a ton of extra eyeballs to the table.
Still, Braves Country has a sour taste in its mouth following another pitching implosion courtesy of the bullpen on Sunday afternoon. It isn't often (or ever, really) that Atlanta loses five-run leads in the final few innings, and even rarer still when the Braves lose games after scoring eight-or-more runs. However, the team accomplished both in one fell swoop on Sunday, and grabbing a bounce-back victory in Boston could be crucial.
We'll be here throughout the day, and be sure to join us in the thread when (and if, given the chance of rain) the game gets going. Let's do this together.
