The Atlanta Braves will start selling postseason tickets in a “World Series Package” September 10th at 9:00 a.m. The package guarantees the purchaser tickets to every 2005 Braves postseason home game (including the World Series if the team advances that far). Individual game tickets for the Division Series go on sale September 17th at 9:00 a.m. and individual NLCS and World Series tickets will be sold at an as yet undetermined date. Postseason tickets bought for games that are not played will be eligible for a refund.

The National League Division Series will get underway on October 4th and the National League Championship Series will start October 11th. The World Series will begin October 22nd.

With more roster spots available, the Braves recalled yet another rookie (the 17th to play with the major league club this season), right-hander Anthony Lerew, from their Triple-A Richmond affiliate on Saturday. Though he has been a starter in the minors all season Lerew will be pitching out of the Atlanta bullpen the rest of the regular season. The 22-year-old pitcher was 4-4 in 13 starts at Richmond this season with a 3.48 ERA. Before being promoted to the AAA level, Lerew sported a 6-2 record and 3.93 ERA in 14 starts for the Class AA Mississippi Braves. He was an 11th round draft pick of the Braves in 2001.
