Saturday night’s game can be broken into two distinct categories:
Good:
The ‘98 team was honored before the contest (Gaslamp Ball has sweet photos).
Chase Headley drew his first walk of the year.
Greg Maddux stole a base.
The post-game fireworks show rocked.
Not so much:
A Braves fan [...]

Fun game Tuesday night. Nice to see Scott Hairston finally get on track — two doubles, a homer, and an out to the wall in left-center works for me.
Chip Ambres, Brian Myrow, and Joe Thatcher all were recalled to the big club [...]
