BOSTON –– Cody Ross missed his buddy. After playing alongside Dan Uggla for five years in Miami, Ross was abruptly placed on waivers and claimed by the Giants -- without contention from the Marlins -- in 2010. The transaction split him up from one of his closest friends in baseball. So once that season ended, Ross quickly reverted to recruiting mode. Over the offseason, he advised Uggla to nix a contract extension with the Marlins and instead join him in San Francisco. To improve those chances, Ross went as far as urging Giants general manager Brian Sabean to offer the...

Jurrjens rediscovers touch in win over Red Sox
This is exactly what Jair Jurrjens needed.
In turn, this is exactly what the Braves wanted to see from Jurrjens.
And it would have been tough to find anyone who could have predicted this kind of a performance from a guy who spent the past eight weeks in minor league exile.
I thought he would get rocked and rolled and be gone by the third inning.
But there was Jurrjens on Friday...
Jurrjens sharp in return, Braves top Red Sox 4-1
Jair Jurrjens made an impressive return to the majors by limiting the Boston Red Sox to one run and three hits, leading the Atlanta Braves to a 4-1 win on Friday night.
Jurrjens, an All-Star last season when he topped the Braves with 13 wins, worked 7 2-3 innings and left after allowing an RBI double by Daniel Nava that drove in Will Middlebrooks, who led off the eighth with a double...

This was very cool. Thanks to @Fireflies712 for making a video of it (while I just took a bootleg picture of the TV with my phone, haha)!
Thanks, FSS! I really did enjoy hearing Paul Byrd on Braves Live today. He is very well-spoken and didn't fill the time with cliches like so many ballplayers do. ;)

Braves commit costly error in loss to Red Sox
BOSTON (AP) -- Cody Ross hit two homers and drove in five runs, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Atlanta Braves 9-4 Sunday in a game that likely was Kevin Youkilis' farewell to the Fenway Park fans.
Youkilis, a subject of recent trade rumors, was lifted for a pinch-runner after hitting a triple in the seventh inning. After the game, manager Bobby Valentine said general manager...

To say the Red Sox' lineup is a little shook up for Sunday's game would be an understatement. A day after much upheaval over the status of Kevin Youkilis, the third baseman is back in the lineup for the final contest in a three-game series against the Atlanta Braves. Rather than bumping Will Middlebrooks out of the batting order, though, Youkilis will start at third, and...
