Michael Bourn is doing lead-off things, which is a good start. Hahahahaha. Ahem. Bourn led off the first inning with a single and a stolen base, and he did the same in the third inning. But when he tried to steal third base with no one out, he was thrown out by Carlos Ruiz. Well, he was called out on the throw, even though he was safe, but he was also out when he came off the bag. The umpire was right, just for the wrong reasons.
Phillies Vs. Braves: Braves Take 3-1 Lead On Dan Uggla Homer
An inning that started with first and second and no outs looked like it was fizzling out after Bourn was called out and Chipper Jones went down on strikes. But Dan Uggla -- he of hitting-streak fame -- hit a two-run home run, his 36th of the year, into the left-center field bleachers off Cole Hamels, who was in for Joe Blanton as scheduled. Told you they should have stuck with Blanton. Dude's awesome.
So is Uggla, which isn’t something you would have thought you’d read back in May.
