Braves Walk off against fish, Falcons mostly healthy, United prepares for it’s home opener at the Benz
First of all, last night a bit of KARMA was achieved for those of us who are fans of the Falcons. The Patriots opened the season against the Kansas City Chiefs and of course all of the pomp and circumstance before the game was all about their latest championship, including putting up on the scoreboard at Gillette Stadium the score from Super Bowl 51 late in the 3rd…..as if we haven’t grown tired of that already. Well Karma was welcomed as the Patriots had a 40 burger put on them last night. Chiefs winning 42-27. Good.
Braves win in Walk off fashion 6-5
The Braves did something last night that they haven’t done in a while, trail in the 9th and come back and win. It was a back and forth see saw match as the lead kept changing throughout the night. Finally, thanks to future Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki, the Fish took a 5-4 lead in the 8th inning. In the 9th though, Ozzie Albies doubled in Markakis, and then the other Suzuki, Kurt knocked in the winning run a few batters later. It was good to see the boys fight and claw back. Ozzie Albies continues to make adjustments and become a really solid player for the Bravos. Sean Newcomb didn’t have his best stuff, but wasn’t terrible either.
Falcons Mostly Healthy heading into Chicago
The Atlanta Falcons injury report is minimal on Thursday before the get away day today. No starters listed on the report, which is good news. Rookie D. Kazee was a full participant, but is listed with an ankle injury. We’ll see if he gets to see any action this weekend. Limited was Backup Tackle A. Pasztor with a chest injury as well as RB T. Ward with a sore hamstring. RB B. Hill didn’t participate with his ankle injury.
