The Braves have just went up 2-0 following a 4-0 victory over the Yankees in 
Game 2.  Unlike Game 1's slugfest, this time the Braves scored one run in 
five different innings, playing "small ball" instead of "long ball."
The Braves have now won five straight postseason games by a combined score of 
48-2.  My Braves' bias notwithstanding, that is PHENOMINAL.
I felt Maddux pitched well in NLCS Game 6, but clearly not at his best.  
Tonight was more vintage Maddux.  Everything down and on the corners.  Only 
one fly ball out, and that was on a line drive to McGriff.  So the only thing 
hit into the air to the outfield was the bloop double by O'Neill, that was 
actually an excellent pitch off the hands and O'Neill just inside-outted it.  
Give him credit for hitting a good pitch.
No putouts or assists by a Braves outfielder.  Wow!
Fred McGriff, despite having a postseason "slump" had three RBI to give him 
15 for this postseason, a new all-time record (of course, this is only the 
second year with three rounds).  In any case, Fred is hitting the ball well, 
and is having no problem with lefties.
Unlike Pendleton, who is having problems with lefties and righties.  His 
double was clearly a gift.  That was an error all the way.  It will be nice 
to get rid of the DH and get him back on the bench where he belongs.
Didn't Yankees fans say there would be no Tomahawk Chop in THTRB?  Just what 
WAS that chant I heard?  It sounded awfully familiar.  :^)
Tomorrow night back in the Chop Shop, Glavine vs. Cone!
