The Good: The Braves get their first sweep in over a month and 2nd sweep of the Mets this season. … No one can keep up with the Joneses these days. Chipper was 5-for-10 with 3 RBIs and his 16th home run in the series. Not to be outdone, Andruw was 5-for-11 with 3 RBIs of his own and his league-leading 45th home run. … John Smoltz outpitched Pedro Martinez for his 14th win of the season, giving up 7 hits in 7 innings, striking out 2 and walking only 1. … Tim Hudson turned in another great start but had nothing to show for it at the end of the night. He scattered 8 hits in 8 innings of work while striking out 3 and walking 3. The Mets managed just 2 runs off him but the Braves were not able to break through until the 9th inning. … Ryan Langerhans singled-handedly won Wednesday night’s game for the Braves, delivering game-tying and game-winning clutch hits in the 9th and 10th innings respectively. Combine his stellar defense with improved offensive production and he may have secured the everyday left fielder’s job.

The Bad: Marcus Giles was 2-for-12 in the series but, to his credit, he did make Pedro look bad when he scored from 2nd on a swinging bunt to the Mets pitcher. … Braves first basemen continue to struggle (one due to slump, one due to injury). Adam LaRoche was 0-for-3 Monday and has 4 hits in his last 82 at-bats (.049). Julio Franco was 1-for-7 in the set and is likely still bothered by his elbow injury.

The Ugly: Thank heavens John Schuerholz pulled off the Kyle Farnsworth trade! Chris Reitsma strained his left hamstring Wednesday after turning in another mediocre perfomance. It appears the only relievers besides Farnsworth the Braves can possibly count on now are Macay McBride and Blaine Boyer. No wonder the Braves are considering using the eternally-injured Mike Hampton in relief the rest of the year.
