I don’t think Tampa Bay will have any trouble besting Baltimore this year. The O’s stink.

…like it matters.

True, I do like the shakeup in Baltimore though. Sometimes good things can happen when you do that. We will see.

Can Glavine give the Braves a shot in the arm that they need on the mound? If they can start hitting for power I think they can make a strong run. The pitching staff is starting to take shape again even at the old age I think they can get back into the playoffs!

Actually, I think the offense is in less doubt than the pitching staff. The offense is one of the best in the NL, without question.

The pitching, though still very formidable, is aged.

To answer your question, yes, if he is healthy I think Tommy will DEFINATELY give the Braves a lift every 5th game…by keeping them \”in the game\”. …but Tommy hasnt been the most durable guy around…he starts to tire around 24 to 28 starts or so.
